There are a few people who think that if you are to be a Spiritual Satanist you have to enforce yourself to be somehow perfect or be at a perfect standard.
The above is irrational. Perfection is a potential reality, and potential things come into existence bit by bit. Bit by bit means they are built, they don't suddenly just happen. The Gods don't expect us to be perfect instantly or anything of the sort. They know exactly what to expect from us. Their only requirement is that we advance and that we don't remain stagnant.
Of course the pace and how we advance changes with time, no different than how in the first months of physical training your trainer demands little, but after one gets stronger, you need to keep increasing your exposure, quality of training etc.
As a perfect trainer knows what to expect from their trainee, so do the Gods have a good estimate on what we can do or cannot do at a given time. Nobody will be judged or harshly treated if they don't stand up to a standard that has no basis in factual reality.
A few people internalize this the wrong way, and go to extremes. Instead of new people focusing on becoming better, they instead extrapolate their wishes for their growth too far into the future, and blame themselves for not being what they objectively can't yet be. The above can create a lot of sadness.
To understand how one should progress, one has to do this in a manner that is balanced and achievable. The greater aim of where one wants to reach in anything one does, should remain there to motivate a person to walk to it. What the Gods expect from people and what makes them happy, is for people to do something to advance every single day.
I have personally been the harshest judge and critic of my own self here, and it took me a very long time to understand and apply the above. Setting big expectations of one's self is the key to success, but if you press yourself more than you can lift, you will burn yourself and collapse under failures.
Human history has been filled with many mistakes. Most of these mistakes humanity does and people do, is because of lack of understanding, lack of knowledge, and many other factors. The environment is also set socially to push people towards making mistakes, more than it's created to help people do the best thing for themselves. That's nature at this point, and we learn by doing mistakes and/or failure.
The only people that should be gravely afraid of mistakes are the people that don't really want to make anything right. In this category of people, every next mistake is digging their hole more. For the person that corrects their mistakes, every mistake is a learning process towards doing things correctly.
Lastly, there are some people who think the Gods would be judgemental of our own mistakes. The case where this would be the case is when these involve them and somehow these affect badly the whole of the world or many people, but also when what is "Theirs" is somehow affected.
In other words, they don't really punish people, since the mistakes in themselves are costly, yet if one ruins themselves by not advancing, that is highly displeasing to the Gods.
There are also many deluded humans who can't see their mistakes, admit them, and a small category of humans who believe they are always right. These people are most of the time a lost case. I've met many over the years that are insistent they are always right, and never ever wrong. Such levels are delusional.
In my early years as a Satanist, especially the first years, I thought I was the hottest potatoes on earth. This feeling is delusional and arises from an influx of power on meditators, plus other personality traits. It's quickly overcome and it's cured by increasing power and then contrasting yourself with what you were before.
In a material manner this is the person that goes 6 months at the gym and spends 1 hour everyday on the mirror saying that they have the best physique there is. That's not the case. But this is understood after going to the gym for like 5 or 10 years. By the time you are 10 years in, you don't even think of these matters whatsoever, because you just "are" what you were going after.
Equally delusional is also a specific category of people who think that they are never doing enough, always doing bad, or that they are never doing things to an imaginary set level. The imagination of the perfect level is there for us to go after it and do our earnest to reach it. But this takes work and yes, many mistakes along the way.
You will not get to your goals without failures and mistakes. People who say they have never failed are lying to you. But what you can expect after a while, is that because you become better, you will fail less. You will also know how to deal with failures and make something good come out of them.
The balance between sticking to the right and moving away from your mistakes, is somewhere between self understanding and self tolerance, and one's desire to advance and improve themselves. As with all matters, a balance is needed here.
What I want to mention here, is for some people to relax. Some people sometimes write so many things like they think that it's demanded of them to become George Washington in the next 3 months out of nowhere. This is not the case.
The Gods do not have unrealistic or extreme demands. But they will show you how to reach your potential and sometimes this may be out of your comfort zone. Still, it won't be crazy or unrealistic and they expect us to walk the path with the legs that we have, not borrowed or non existing ones.
Generally I have also found the issues many people experience with beating themselves over not reaching perfection are psychological. These can come from parents that constantly shun the child and imbalances in the reception of love from the child or it's environment.
Our system in this society punishes people severely for mistakes, but good input is not rewarded just as good. It's easier to get homeless if you do mistakes in your job, than it is to go up highly for maintaining let's say a proper performance all the time.
I will mention the details on another post, but much of this has to do with what Thoth has described in Hermes Trismegistus. Our planet is in a way, too attunated with the lower aspects of destruction and negativity for now [the enemy is also responsible, but this was also the case in the previous aeon of Pisces]. This makes things more tentative towards the negative. Not entirely negative, and we shouldn't blame the planet, but this volition means that we need to put some effort in there to succeed.
At the same time, because of the very "stable" nature of our current universe on earth, if one gets strongly established in achieving something, the same rules will apply in reverse, and you will experience long and steady returns. In some ways, longer than necessary. An example here is how the Christian Church has outlived it's usefulness, is rotten, and is basically mostly collapsed, but because it founded itself physically into a material stable structure, it will take a while for it's full removal.
Similar laws reflect in the above things in people. How this reflects on a human being for example, is that after 10 years of going to the gym and if you reach the perfect physique, it will be so much harder for you to fall into obesity or something like this. Your body will tolerate the worst, and all this previous work will shield you from failure. Even if you reach the lowest bottom, the universe being this way, you will be able to return back to shape faster than a person who has just began.
Remember, you are here to advance and to improve, not to lash yourself for not doing this. Lashing, feeling like you need to burn in hell or anything like this does not exist. The Gods don't punish people extra here in a sadistic notion unless there is offense to them, but people experience natural retribution the more ignorant they become.
But still that is the worst that can happen, for some soul to be overtaken by ignorance and all the negativity that is in this world also very plentiful.
It's your own conscience that feels bad when you don't advance in this path. This is also what is refereed to as the "Higher Self". You know in this level you should for example have a balance in physical and material and therefore put some meditation in your day.
The higher self you can put to sleep and abuse him into silence if you are decided to destroy your life, but you cannot do this forever. Eventually it will keep trying to come out and to save you. Denying this input only leads to the worst things. This is not a phonecall that you can indefinitely ignore.
The reason why people ignore this is merely pure stupidity, as what people truly need and truly want, can be reached by opening up to this phonecall. Denial in this case is because solely the human being is very lost. The Gods have equipped us with the understanding necessary to advance and to be happy humans, and all the rest.
But a mix of falsehood of the lower levels of ignorance, the enemy, and the world's naturally tentative direction towards entropy, is causing humans to do major mistakes. About 80% of this is not the enemy, it's ourselves. If you control this 80% which is yourself, the other two factors will be eventually be overcome in the longterm, too.
The only punishment that incurs here is the punishment one will receive because of allowing the negative forces of the universe to undertake them. That is a lot of suffering in itself, and can be in a sense it's own "inferno" or "lake of fire".
Human beings don't understand this until they advance, but we are punishing ourselves when we insist on remaining on a lower level. This punishment in the eyes of the Gods is seen as severe, and that's why the Gods show kindness and show us the way to advance. We humans think that this is very normal because we have been subjected to this universal negativity, but that is not really that much normal. And the Gods have also given the keys to reverse this and weed this out bit by bit until we receive true freedom.
In closing mistakes are normal, expect them, and work to correct them. The Gods are here to help us and guide us, not to punish us as a priority. The Gods punish in cases where crimes and mistakes are damning them in some way, as in committing really bad things against them.
This is no different than a parent, the child has to cross extreme boundaries for the parent to consider giving them some sort of ultimate punishment. The enemy religions are the reverse, every little thing people do wrong, they are smitten and infested with guilt and terror like they did destroy the whole earth.
Then the enemy has this other extreme: "All your mistakes are accepted". This is the second recipe to damnation. If one accepts all their mistakes, as if they do none or that it doesn't matter, destruction is guaranteed.
These two above states, ruin a human being completely.
By punishing people only and never showing them the correct way, and always keeping people on fear, people don't evolve, and the self repeating loop never closes, bringing people into an existence that truly resembles burning in the "lake of fire". Its these enemy programs that lead to eternal suffering and pain, since they remove the human potential to advancement, spiritual evolution, and self overcoming.
If you are in Spiritual Satanism you are in a place where yes, you can commit mistakes. Yes, it's not the end of the world. Yes, you can advance, and yes, your life isn't over if you do small and silly mistakes. But above all a yes exists here too: Yes, you are also meant by definition to correct and to evolve out of these, that's the whole idea here.
