Hello everyone, I've noticed a theme going on recently with the current posts, and so while we're on the topic of responsibility I'd like to share this post. I hope it will be helpful to everyone who needs this.
When I was younger I had a very bad habit of leaving things unfinished and moving to the next thing. My room was normally very disorganized and messy and it was difficult to find things. My parents would clean up my messes, and they would come in and clean up my room if I left it a mess for too long. This unintentionally enabled me to continue these bad habits well into my life as a young adult.
So, after some time had passed I moved away from home, as we all do. Suddenly I found things were piling up around me. Dirty clothes, dishes, all my responsibilities were piling up around me and depressing me, and overwhelming me. It was at this very low point that I realized, all the enabling my parents did conditioned me to put off my responsibilities and I had to learn to take my matters, into my own hands.
Once I took it upon myself to finish things and to clean up around myself, It was so liberating. True freedom comes by taking care of yourself, your surroundings, your emotions, and your responsibilities. In doing these things you are putting the power back into your hands, you are becoming in control of your life.
In spirituality we must do these things as well. We can't expect the Gods to enable us, and take care of our business always. They will guide us and lead us but we must do things for ourselves as we progress. They won't come in and clean up our messes, we must do those things. We can't stray from our meditations, yoga, our rtrs, whatever it is we're working on, and expect the Gods to pick up the slack.
Responsibility may seem intimidating at first, it may seem exhausting, and difficult. But I can guarantee you, what is more exhausting is the embarrassment of relying constantly on someone else to clean up after yourself. It will lead you nowhere. Stagnation, and doing nothing, is the same as death. But it's a spiritual death we're speaking of.
If you want freedom, if you want to really live and grow, there's only one true answer, you must face your responsibilities. Not with dread, but with courage. Because no matter how big or small, everything you do to better yourself will set you free and on the right path. You will no longer be chained to these things, they will no longer loom over your head. You can feel satisfied, and at peace knowing you've taken care of things. And truly Satanism has liberated me, and helped me to learn that lesson.
I hope you too can take from the lesson I've learned and give yourself true freedom.
Hail Satan!
