An Introduction... | Forum

Does one ever have luck stripping people of the "born" part of it?  It positions itself like an internal path to s-type freedom, but can you really make a jack rabbit a chicken? Would this even appeal to those of a more rational personality, or have they migrated east to forever write shit in sanskrit and/or fall off a nihilist cliff? 

Anyway, a properly molded adversarial satanist would actually ask: "How does doing workshops and making promotional videos for consortiums qualify as LHP if it seeks to normalize the form under a slave moralist mindset and the Holy Altar of Standards and Practices?"

Thank you for the response. 

My path was a series of developments that took me time to truly define. From the Christian approach to paganism, I sought out something which resonated with me. After many years of stumbling about, I happened upon a book by Anton LaVey which perked my interest "Satan Speaks." It began a new chapter in my life as I realized that I do not require the dogmatic constraints that govern most of what I previously studied. This newfound freedom led me to explore the concept of Satanism and from there I set off on a wild adventure, seeking out my own path. 

I studied the philosophies and concepts of the CoS, ONA, and Acosmic Satanism before I came across the concepts and philosophy of Rational Satanism. Before that point, I felt like I had to conform one way or another and that just did not settle with me well. While I can and do respect the teachings that I have learned along the way, I needed something that would allow me to incorporate aspects of what I have learned and make it something that I can apply in my daily walk. Rational Satanism has helped me to do just that, putting logic and reason at the forefront all which I do and utilizing concepts to my advantage. 

I chose Satanism as a way of life, after realizing just what it means to be a Satanist. In my opinion, it is not about worshipping that which is external but acknowledging that which is internal. To know thyself and to build upon this knowledge and moving forward in one's own personal paradigm.

This summarizes  how I came to be a Satanist and how I embody Satan. For Satan is self and empowering self is the key point in being a Satanist.

The concepts outlined in the site are simply a summary of that which you will find within the books of CoRS. It is about concepts and incorporating them with the knowledge that you already know. It is not something meant to replace an existing system but something which allows for you to build and incorporate upon it. 

I am not here to tear apart existing systems or organizationsbut to learn and to build upon that which resonates with me. We all do just that. We take that which resonates with us and build upon it. 

As for what I do to contribute to the Left-Hand path is something that I am proud of. It is not up for scrutiny of others as this is my life and I do as I see fit. I believe in being active and doing something worthwhile. What I have chosen to share with you all is a small aspect of that which I do on daily basis. 

While I can understand it is easy to judge looking from the outside. I mean, my walk is not meant to be for everyone. It is mine and mine alone to do. 

I am here to network and to have intelligent discussion, not to go on about my life private life. 

Now, lets us begin with this knowledge and go from there.

I am simply summarizing that which I have come to understand. I have had a lot of things which have led up to this point in time. 

Where shall I begin? lol

I didn't realized that a simple introduction would be this complex.

Also, you must understand that I am testing the waters here and seeing what is what because I am aware of the games people play.

Don't get me wrong, I am here to network and not to stir up trouble.

I am getting back out onto the social scene after being away for a long time for personal reasons. So, if I am a bit off in my responses or they seem "generic" that is why.

I will answer specific questions but generalized questions usually get a generalized response.
