Highly relatable. I hope that the one you speak of has fought her issues off by now for the benefit of her advancement. Interestingly enough, I personally believe that even in the oddest jobs, we are still able to use our specialized field in some way for our knowledge to reach the people in our direct environments. Especially in the creation of fiction, and utilizing it as almost a guise to convey actual true concepts in this world. Ironically, you have achieved more noble goals than the people who perceive your work to be dishonorable.
Thank you very much. As most of us have played a lot of games, particularly RPGs in my case, many concepts become almost subconsciously more easily comprehensible when related into game terminology, lol. In my personal opinion, at least. It almost makes everything in life feel more fun, as well.
I am grateful for your suggestion; I strongly agree. Sometimes, we are not even aware of the progress we make, and keeping track of our thoughts and states in the present, can often times surprise us in the future when we are reminded of how we used to think in a previous situation, under conditions we had previously deemed to be difficult to understand.
Apologies for the late reply, it's been a month since you wrote this and a lot has been happening here, either good and bad. On the other hand, some said "It is only through external tragedy that we best unleash the internal strength within ourselves", and I've been very focused on my own development, like I hadn't in months. Father Satan was very encouraging and close when I did my best to reach Him. I'm truly thankful for that.
That sister of ours, who was offended by my work, I wish for her to find enlightenment, but I haven't heard from her again. She probably thinks me to be a disgrace to Spiritual Satanism, so I thank you for saying that I have achieved more noble goals. The words of a serious Brother/Sister Spiritual Satanist to me are the most honourable and welcome.
I've been doing a lot of thinking and self-analysis and found out that among my flaws (which I think are quite common) I tend to try changing one bad habit with another in order to overcome the first one, thinking I'm going forward when I'm just stationary, dwelling in lower levels.
I've been trying to break this circle for good and it took quite a bit of internal talk and meditating. What I do to get people to either pay me (for 3d comics/stories) and to see messages I write between the lines (so they can be exposed to SS in a smart way, making them see some Satanist concepts and possibly think about them later but without saying anything too obvious not to frighten them away) is something highly creative and often I found myself too absorbed in my own art, neglecting other things, meditation and aura cleaning for starters.
This, I have solved using another path that is very familiar to me: martial arts.
I made a post here a while back on which I think are the best martial arts to truly defend ourselves in this world, but it will probably be updated in time, as I'm finally learning more and discovering the most "Satanic" part of martial arts, involving training with energy, candle flames (like in the Pyrokinesis page on the JoS), and focusing on the things we learned from HP Maxine every time we read the JoS website.
I won't dwell long on this topic (not to bore you and go completely off track in this post) but I want to mention those arts briefly, so whomever runs a word search here and finds them can ask me for information and I can share what I know.
Martial arts are roughly divided into 2 main groups: External and Internal.
External martial arts focus on physical damage done with one's 8 extremities (fists, elbows, feet, knees, head, shoulders, hips, back) and are the absolutely most common in this world, easy to learn and to understand the concept of.
Internal martial arts are way less numerous and focus on using internal energy as a way to convey power. This goes well into Spiritual Satanism as the Chinese energy terminology can simply be translated with the Hindu names we use for the same things (Dan Tien=Solar Chakra; Chi/Qi=Energy/Prana/Vril; etc).
While I have focused my almost entire life on learning External martial arts, I have still much to learn about the Internal ones.
The main 3 ones are usually listed as 1. Taichi/Taichiquan 2. Baguazhang/Bagua Zhang/Baguaquan and 3. Xing Yi Quan/Xingyiquan/Ching I Quan (tried to include all the variations I know so people looking for these will find them more easily... I'll make a post on this in the near future to keep this topic separate and easily discoverable).
These three are the main ones, but there are others that make decent use of Internal power in some form and measure (Tanglangquan/Mantis style, Longquan/Dragon style, Dim Mak, etc).
Personally, the only really foreigner art among these is Xingyiquan. It technically translates to "Form Intent Fist" and focuses on the Chinese 5 Element system (Fire/Water/Wood/Metal/Earth), so anyone interested in the Elements should at least check it out once in my opinion.
In terms of "what it looks like", while Taichi=grappling and Baguazhang=evasive, Xingyiquan focuses on energy striking, making this the most conventionally defined 'martial art'. Only it uses Internal energy/Qi/Chi/Soul power (mostly of course).
I guess that'll be it for now, don't want to make this post any longer than needed, but for the sake of sharing information I felt this was needed. Sorry if you found that boring or hard to follow or entirely uninteresting.
Hail Satan!
