Living as a Monk for the Joy of ΣΑΤΑΝΑΣ:
There’s a high chance that anyone who comes across the *Joy of ΣΑΤΑΝΑΣ* for the first time and decides to follow this path has, at least once, thought about living a monk-like life for this journey.
But let’s take a closer look—who exactly is a monk?
Who is a Monk?
Monks are individuals who separate themselves from society or live in solitude to dedicate part or all of their lives to a religion. Alternatively, they may reside within an organized community, devoting their full time to religious life.
In summary:
A monk is someone who dedicates part or all of their life to a spiritual path or religion.
Now, what about a monk-like life for those on the *Joy of ΣΑΤΑΝΑΣ* path?
Do we all need to live like monks to ultimately reach our goals on this journey?
The Freedom to Choose Your Lifestyle
First and foremost, everyone here is an individual free to choose their way of life. We are born free, and Lord Lucifer supports our freedom, encouraging us to fight to preserve it.
These are questions relevant not only to newcomers but to anyone on the *Joy of ΣΑΤΑΝΑΣ* path.
Let’s first explore what the lifestyle of a monk entails.

What is the Lifestyle of a Monk Like?
The life of a monk is, in many ways, highly regimented.
Daily Routine:
Monks typically wake up early, often before sunrise, to begin their daily schedule, which includes prayer, meditation, and work. While specific activities vary, monks generally spend several hours a day in prayer or meditation, attend communal meals, and engage in work or study.
In short, monks lead highly disciplined lives: they wake early, dedicate themselves to prayer and meditation, and attend to other responsibilities.

Is Separating from Society the Right Choice for a Spiritual Satanist?
For someone choosing a monk-like life as a spiritual Satanist, is isolation from society the right decision?
Personally, I’m not a very outgoing or social person; I prefer spending most of my day alone. But that’s just *my personal choice*. It’s something I’m comfortable with and know suits me based on my self-awareness.
What about you? This isn’t a question I can answer for you—it’s something you must decide for yourself.
However, there are guiding principles to consider, such as the **"XVII. Reincarnation Ethics"**, which teaches us:
- “We should work on ourselves to achieve our highest potential in this life, as our time is precious.”
Self-awareness and understanding the world around us are forms of spiritual growth that shouldn’t be overlooked.
Isolation and detachment from the world can lead you to close your eyes to many things and forget them. Our gods encourage us to learn, understand, and explore everything—they are supporters of human science and knowledge.

Do Monks Have Free Time?
What do monks do in their leisure time?
This depends on their responsibilities for the day. Some days leave no room for leisure at all.
Some may believe that leisure is a waste of time and shouldn’t be prioritized in their daily schedule. That’s a personal choice, too. However, a little recreation is never harmful—as long as you dedicate sufficient time and energy to your other responsibilities.
You can be a monk, but that doesn’t mean you stop being a friend, a neighbor, a football player, a young man, or even just a kid. Monks, like anyone else, can enjoy various activities during their free time.

Conclusion
In the end, anyone here can choose and begin a monk-like lifestyle based on their circumstances and desires.
We, along with the help of our gods, are the saviors of our world. Every step of progress on this path is invaluable for ourselves, our people, and our gods.
In many cases, adopting a monk-like lifestyle might just be an excuse:
Perhaps you’re simply tired of the noise in your city, the overwhelming responsibilities in life that seem insignificant, or your own carelessness and lack of discipline. Maybe you want to feel better and have more time by eliminating distractions from your life.
If you’re dedicating part of your life to self-improvement, meditation, and your spiritual path, you are already living like a monk in many ways.
