You are using a quote from a text that was written ages ago to justify yourself as an unquestionable authority for us. It’s like you want Athenria to recognise you in those lines. This attitude reminds me of Christianity.
I don’t understand why going independently seen as destructive and isolating. JoS is not the only and single source of the occult knowledge, it never was. There is knowledge everywhere and our advancement is not up to one website. I wrote that I am leaving is to give feedback. People are leaving this site.
For the readers: Guys, you don’t have to follow every person who calms to be more advanced than you as your authority/spiritual leader/guru…etc.
From where comes the desire to project your fallacies on others?
Where are any members acting as infallible guru's who must be listened to, or who are said to be an infallible authority on matters?
This is purely within your imagination, because you take literally the words of the Al-Jiwah and fail to understand the intended message, due to your pre conceived notions about the written words blinding you from the true meaning.
Do you see anyone saying that the Joy of Satan is the only source of occult knowledge? The Joy of Satan never claims this.
What we do claim however, and what is proven true for all of us who make attainments on the spiritual path, is that the Joy of Satan is the only source of uncorrupted and unadulterated Spiritual knowledge and wisdom, which leads to the straight path without a book.
Even so, one is free to dabble in other things, however we cannot recommend or support this, as it is clear it will either bring you back to the JoS after years of wasted time, or it will lead to a downfall in delusion.
People here who have made attainments of wisdom and spiritual practice have ability to educate others on their experience and knowledge. This is only natural, and it happens like this in every field.
People advising you based on their experience and knowledge acquired through effort and dedication to the SS path under guidance of the Gods is not the same as someone throwing around statements to try and justify themselves as an unquestionable authority.
This is really only your imagination, nowhere does blitz, or even HP HoodedCobra do this.
Neither the other JG's, or other members with greater than the average understanding on things like NakedPluto or myself.
None of us act as infallible guru's, or unquestionable authority. However we do on almost all things speak truth, especially HP HoodedCobra.
The reason why he is respected by us, is because his words proof themselves to be worth listening to, due to them proving to be true and valuable time and time again. He is not respected for having his title, but he has his title because he is proven worthy of it.
This is why Magestein was not respected by many of us, especially those of us who could see through his facade or found fault with him, and did challenge him despite his title, and in the end were proven right to do so.
He is no longer here because of his inferior actions, and even malicious intent to subvert Spiritual Satanism into a pseudo xianity and his blatant attempts to destroy the JoS from within through slander, deceit and defamation of Spiritual Satanism.
Through his actions he proved himself as worthless as a sack of unrecyclable garbage.
Here it is through merit that people gain respect and their word gains authority.
Those proven to be more knowledgeable than others on subjects, helpful in their advice and service to the SS community, advanced spiritually through their understanding of spiritual advancement in their posts and answers to others, etc, are the people whose word gains weight due to its proven value.
This is how respect is earned, and why it is natural for people to recognize them as betters on those fields and learn from them what they can or what they appreciate, be inspired to act and grow, etc.
None of this is anything like xianity whatsoever, and you cannot find it elsewhere online or in the world with the same quality and competence as one finds it here for anything spiritual and occult related.
Many have tried, usually before they found the JoS.
Or they tried to do so after, which never lead anywhere for those who tried, as they lost sight of the path and the wisdom of the Gods, favoring their personal delusions and convictions before it.
Have you ever tried to approach Satan earnestly? To understand him, to ask him, to learn from him?
Try it earnestly. Do the absolution ritual with earnest intent, especially when you say the lines:
"Satan, deliver me from all past error and delusion, fill me with wisdom and understanding, keep me strong in my faith and service, that I may abide always in Thee with praise. Honor and glory be given Thee forever and ever."
Do you think somehow this is xian in nature? To praise Him, and ask him to deliver you from past error and delusion? To ask Him to keep you strong in your faith and service?
If so, all the more reason to do this ritual. As it means one has a fundamental misunderstanding on the nature of Spiritual Satanism, which extends in your perception of "authority" from those more advanced than yourself.
What do you think SS is? And what do you wish to gain from it? What do you think anyone is trying to keep from you, or take away from you by sharing their thoughts, knowledge and wisdom?
To gain wisdom of your own, begins by acknowledging where you stand objectively on this path, which means understanding the worth of advice and wisdom given by others, as well as acknowledging reality and truth are bigger than ones own perceived notions of these.
Hail Satan!
