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. 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.
Absolutely fine and great. That's very positive. The only thing we see as negative is to not do anything in life whatsoever, like complete laziness.
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.
Even if one is in unemployment but does great work for the Gods, that's still perfectly fine.
What should be the aim of any Satanist is to have a good, well placed job, 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.
Lastly, in our mythology the Gods have under control all spheres of existence. A gravedigger, or a shopkeeper, or a painter, or a statesman, all belong under the same purpose for existence.
