AskSatanOperator said:What do you think about factory work?
Do you see it as any work or is it slave labor for you?
Do you think it is dignified to be a factory worker rather than an employee or shopkeeper?
What is JoS's position regarding this kind of work?
Yes, all work is dignified, and all work is honourable. All work has my respect personally. All people who do something deserve respect. Having done all sorts of things, I tell you this, there is no dishoroable work.
The mentality that there is any, while society and existence functions on many layers, is a mentality that is errant. This mentality was produced by forgetfulness that a society is upheld by the hands of many people, and overt focus on one's case.
If one becomes the best at what they do, a good life is ahead of them, no matter what this profession is.
There should be no shame in one's profession whatsoever.
That's very positive. The only thing we see as negative is to not do anything in life whatsoever, like complete laziness that is a manifestation of negative entropy, which we as Spiritual Satanists fight against.
That is unacceptable as it's a symptom of one falling into nothing and wasting their existence into nothingness, which it wasn't supposed to be wasted there.
Everything and every profession is accepted in JoS, we hold no discrimination, no matter who you are or what you do, from the darker areas to the brighter areas of life.
In the JoS we have doctors and lawyers, men in construction, women in fashion, housewives, public servants, cleaners, cooks or surgeons, we have everyone and anyone from all walks of life.
Shout-out to all of our SS family who are out there existing, fighting and getting it.
Certain "unacceptable" things that society treats in pointless disrespect, are accepted here without a second thought. The Gods also understand in the context of existence and it's wheel of evolution.
Even if one is in unemployment but does great work for the Gods, that's still great, as certain work counts as employment. One must not guilt trip themselves all day over about this, but just seek to evolve and get better.
What should be the aim of any Satanist is to have a good, well placed job or function in society, that provides what is necessary for one's spiritual progress and material existence.
As one progresses, one's work capacity might also progress, based on goals set for one's self, one's family, one's society, or the JoS itself. That is individual. Success is promoted in Spiritual Satanism, yet often-times one's success is largely a definition of where one is serving their purpose best.
This is not the same for all individuals, and is part of a Dharmic process in which we all play our parts collectively.
Lastly, in our mythology the Gods have under control all spheres of existence. A gravedigger, or a shopkeeper, a lawyer, or a painter, or a statesman, or a doctor, all belong under the same purpose for existence. The Gods preside above all. One's capacity and one's function serves different ends.
Have no shame about what you do to keep your children fed, and yourself alive, if you walk in the spiritual path.
Your hands that work, are the hands of a Spiritual Satanist. And they are blessed hands.
