Spiritual Satanism is an instruction of positivity, life and vibrant existence.
Despite of what is going on with the world, the person who has attained the extent of this path, can face any situation. One builds to this level, it doesn't come on it's own, but it is there as a prospect for everyone. This is the path of mental strength and spiritual strength.
Of course, the above requires control of the mind. Most people, are not really "suffering" per se, they are "suffering" because their own mind is not in order. The less the order in a mind, the more the suffering.
As the basic knowledge of the JoS says, when the mind [especially when empowered] does dwell on some things, one can bring them about. Increasingly, this power will increase with meditation.
Now the question arises, so, are we to put our head inside a hole, and ignore any and all negativity completely? The answer here is obviously no. But one must not dwell on it.
With more experience in meditation, how one can do this, will become more self evident. This goes through stages. With meditation & growth, there comes a lot of beneficial things in our life.
As the mind control becomes superior, then one will be able to literally look at all these things and examine them, but not necessarily allow them to get affected. The higher the degree of empathy here, the more training one will need.
Many people who are empaths and easily affected, can use this to their advantage, by dwelling on positive things. As the mind clears and control is established, one can manage their exposure.
As we can see, the modern world is constantly bombarding people with excessive extremes. "Wars, we will be nuked, blah blah" - no hope given. Of course, these problems might be real, but on the end of the media, this is not informative, this is to cause mass fear and hysteria.
How most people cope with this is by not paying any attention, and that is wrong, since people become unaware. Lack of awareness make someone suspect to deception and failure.
Therefore, the strategy one must follow is to be self aware here, and always be on the positive side willingly, and by choice and wisdom, not because they are ignorant. The mage who is aware of the power of the mind will have a different adoption of this method than the average joe who purposefully ignores everything.
One way people try to escape inner issues is by ignoring them. That is exactly the opposite of what a Spiritual Satanist must do. Here, we confront the issues, and we fix them.
The proper mindset is so fundamental, as is the software on a computer. Many people just constantly try to find excuses to cause suffering to themselves. That is a symptom of a mind that is not well attuned.
Almost every person I know has yet another complaint every single day, speaking of regular people who are not Satanists. It's also a common characteristic in the case of most people that they don't want to solve any of these issues. But they present them for no purpose. Maybe to babble.
Life however is not specifically designed so that everything goes in accordance to one's "desires". That should be something we know early - but we are not told even basic things anymore.
One must therefore accustom themselves to understand what lies inside of one's control, and what lies outside of this. The book of "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius is going to help a lot of people here. Alongside other subjects, the relation of the mind with what is beyond "control" is also discussed here.
I consider this book one of the "Satanic Essentials". Just make sure to read it with the Satanic eye.
Now, to sit and complain about life will change nothing. Nothing can also change what cannot be changed at a present level of power. Severing sources of depression from life can also be very helpful.
For example, don't spend your day in front of the TV all day, or in front of Social Media, where everyone pretends they are living the "Dream Life", because they are not. That will cause you depression. It is, in reality, specifically designed to make you feel negative and depressed all the time, by abusing basic functions of the mind.
Instagram and other social media [which I mention because of how many people spend too much time on these] are designed to abuse your basic needs: Sex, food, and the need of shelter, luxury and wellbeing.
They abuse these by bombarding you with never ending stimuli, which eventually wears out the human mind, causing depression and senses of inferiority. The happiness of one in these platforms works by psychological standards in contrast to the caused depression on another, and it's designed to be this way.
Therefore, what does a wise Satanic mind do here? If you have to use these means, use them wisely, and if you don't have to, discard them. In all cases, do not be used by them, and never consider them reality. They are not.
In fact, the more you see this in Social Media, know that people are internally suffering the most. The quicker one discards these lies from their mind, the quicker one will mentally heal.
Spirituality and cleaning, aura of protection, and staying close to the Gods, or staying close to the Truth for that liking, is a sureproof way to be happy. Note: Not without struggles and not without the bad, but happy in a more internal fashion which I am sure most understand who are for sometime in this path.
On this level, we have to do with the energetic functions of the soul. These are never bothered by the average person, and therefore, many people cannot really reach these higher levels of happiness which the Ancient Greeks called "Eudemonia". This word has to do with proper condition of the very soul, not only a mental or physical attainment.
Another level of happiness, is not related to mind and soul, but the body. Taking care of the body, within reasonable extents, is necessary to articulate a sense of inner stability, although the two aspects above have overwhelming power to your well-being.
As one has a plan to grow the soul, the none must also have a plan to bring the body in the correct order.
Most people are also getting depressed over what hasn't happened or what isn't yet a reality. This can arise out of a working not yet manifesting etc. This is why the JoS says over and over again: Mind control is essential. Do not cast doubt on what you do beyond the sensible extents - let the thing work itself.
Suffering about imaginary events of the future has a function in life, but if it consumes your mind, then it will cause you great grief. That suffering is emerging in this case out of fears, worries, and other anxieties that have to do with events that haven't even occurred.
To make matters worse, a disorganized mind, can attract negative energy even by dwelling on some things by default. For example, if you think all day that you might be ugly, then people might indeed find you ugly. That is a basic example.
If you are very "afraid" of something, this might, for some minds, even attract it. Therefore, one wants to moderate their thoughts and gently bring the mind back in order into positive or at least neutral thinking.
For those who are seriously invested in meditation, if you go too far without having basic mind control, your must reconsider and take some steps back, especially if the situation goes out of control, or change your perspective, working on the mind too.
One might reasonably argue that the "situation" of this world isn't great and all this, but that still, is not a cause of pessimism and depression. But this adoption is not going to change much, if anything.
It is only if someone decides that is the reality for themselves. The hardest years might be the more rewarding ones. To understand this, we must prioritize in our minds what is essential and what is not. Growing is essential, and therefore, what procures growth, can be a blessing despite of initial appearances.
Despite of anything, for example, I remain overwhelmingly an optimist and level headed. I cannot be pessimistic when I know the existence of the Gods to be valid. One builds to this level and we experience this is for ourselves.
"We save ourselves". Those who want to see in this path, will receive the beautiful glimpse of the Gods.
To fly, we need wings, and these wings, we are given through our soul. Everything else speaks of the spirit of gravity, of peril and failure. For this reason, we have a soul. It reminds us of our origins and our higher existence.
When you know things like that you have a soul, that the Gods will help us, and so on, then one's relationship with the negatives changes forever. After some time, we are free from a lot of misplaced suffering.
Everything starts looking more where it should be. This is one of the gifts of waking up instead of sleeping. There is a lightness in this understanding.
Reality cannot be absent of disappointments or negative events, but we can minimize the misplaced and pointless suffering we cause ourselves and others.
The gift of meditation is understood not only in pursuit of external victories in life, but also in the manifestation of higher levels of mind and consciousness.
One of the main points, is to achieve a better inner world, and discover the "Kingdom within". When this kingdom is understood, then too many things that you felt once were able to drag you down, will hold lesser and lesser power over you.
Brothers and Sisters, do not allow yourself to be consumed by the spirits of gravity - become spirits of lightness instead.
HAIL SATAN!
