For that you need a perfect body, and if that is missing only death can compensate for what you lack in life, since in that death is all the universe of dark resources, and both life and death are ruled by Satan and his darkness.
Life appears to some like some escape from it, but that's the greatest of all self-deceptions. A fresh perspective, I always saw death as a journey into subjectivity, being victim of my own delusions. But it might be the other way around Respect If a woman or just anyone is forced in order to survive to get protection by the state by a concealed identity, it has to be respected, since there is a reason for it always since she has no other choice.
This has been an issue also here on Facebook, I went through an ordeal four years ago about the fact that I refused submitting an ID, which was respected ultimately then and has to be, if there is only honesty enough and no agenda of destructive or subversive kind, if social networks are to work at all with any decency and ease and without friction. This should be especially respected among satanists, since they boast respect of women more than any others.
I have gone through the same ordeal, sometimes even being shunned by some for not submitting a photo. You always seem to write about whatever it is I am thinking. Thank you, dear friend. Darkest Blessings. What a coincidence - but I am sure there are many more like us. Most of them remain unknown, shunned and anonymous. Women deserve much respect and courtesy for they are a blessing of our Infernal Father to be cared for with the utmost honor and compassion.
How real are you? Let's put it another way: If you are a satanist, how real is Satan? If Satan is real, you must be real as well, since you are a satanist. But no one can prove Satan is real, while many definitely discharge him as a myth, but even myths are real as myths, and no one can deny the existence of Satan as a definite existence in our existence as a myth or being or whatever, while many acknowledge him as the ultimate being, while more deny God than deny Satan.
So you definitely have a life in Satan, whatever and whoever he is, and since you exist, you exist, which nobody can deny as long as you exist. Well, this is going rather philosophical, but it is an important issue. The only thing we know for certain about Satan is that he can't be defined, pinned down or fathomed in any way actually, while the gods of monotheism are much more clearly defined but also much more refuted and denied.
Is it safe therefore to stick to Satan and devote your worship to him rather than to the gods of monotheism? Definitely, as we see what has become of the results of those monotheistic deities and their pathetic followers in everlasting wars, while there is nothing safer than philosophy, which definitely includes the existence of Satan.
Nothing is Real, Anything is Permitted. You can always have me, and you have me here, since I am always present, all you have to do is to receive me in your mind. Even if you die, and I know well that you are dying, you will have me even after death, since there is nothing more reliable than any loving spirit.
So don't be sorry for the loss of your completed life, but see it only as a portal out of death and into life with me. The most seductive Satanic note that this light warrior has ever read,especially since I am dealing with my own death issues. Perhaps I will discover it's truth when I penetrate the veil. Something to look forward to after life of pain and grief.
Since then he is a constant presence in all metaphysical conjecture, arguments, religions, faiths and spiritual circumstances, mainly as a hidden but decisive factor. This tendency gets critical with national socialism. Many claim it was satanic, others claim it wasn't, and there seems to be as many arguments against as for. They wanted definitely to reclaim and reconnect to older and more natural traditions than monotheism and tried to base a new faith and religion on the ancient past, discarding and abolishing christianity and monotheism, which was an unsuccessful effort, concentrating on destruction more than on construction, wisdom, reasoning and knowledge, so it ended up its own worst enemy as a completely failed experiment.
But satanism has learned from that and taken care of what was good in all that wild experimental quest for the occult, and there is nothing wrong with spiritualism ever as long as it does not degenerate into materialistic egoism. No satan did not derive from sanskrit. This would be a comparison not a lineage.
This has been a debatable topic of discussion as long as I have been a satanist. Actually Satan is derived from a number of different sources, it is relative to where you are and what culture you are in. Also the meaning has changed over time as well. I would also like to point out that Laila has written something, not actually made any claim to anything being a certain fact, also she just simply pointed out that it has been something that people have debated or should I say argued over now for some time.
You are the only one here making any claims and even then they are at the very most just your opinion, with a couple of facts you have thrown in to try and make it sound more viable.
Satan is God of our flesh, God of this world, the universe and all creation, God of our innermost self and true will. I happen to agree with you and what you say a lot Laila Roth. Every Satanist path is unique, it was never meant to be a organized religion, and those who want to treat it like it is, can in my opinion take a hike. If people want to hate on my dark doctrines adherence, so be it. I am true to He my Infernal Father, I bow before no other gods or man.
Yes Satan or Sat and Tan means the unfolded and unfolding truth. I agree with Laila. You know an argument has hit the shitter when it resorts to Wikipedia. And even the excert shown has no mention of Satan; just Sat. And just to confirm that turth in Sankrit is actually Satya not Satan. Good grief you people make it up like a bunch of politicians.
And Tan is a pronoun which refers to "them, their, of them, belonging to them" so even if Satan , or more likely "Sat Tan" were in use in Sanskrit the most likely translation into English would be "the essence of them" or "as they are". I still don't understand why Satanists insist of basing their beliefs on the Christian book of lies. Satan as a concept is fine but please stop associating the concept with the greatest lie of man.
So you eliminate completely any possibility of any connection between the Hindu Sat words and the occurrence of Satan in Mesopotamia. Those Indian Sat words are many, there is a whole list of them in various combinations, all connected with "truth" or "essence", and there is a horde of discourses on this subject on the web, most of them originated by JOS which I will not dare to bother you with, but still I personally can't exclude the possibility that there could be some grain of truth in it all.
But even if there is no connection between the Hindu Sat words and the occurrence of the Hebrew Satan, isn't it anyway a remarkable coincidence? I did not say that I eliminated the possibility concerning the word sat; however you have failed to show the historic lineage of how your interpretation of the word sat becomes satan. Let me expand on this for fear of being too long winded for some. The ancient texts used by the Christian bishops to create the Bible did not come in individual languages; some were written in several languages being spread over over many years; in some cases centuries.
The Bishops used this to achieve particular goals when translating into Latin. We all know of how they hid the Greek interpretation of the word Sophia and twisted the Hebrew word Satan; these are both very well documented.
There are even historically documented records of the Bishops having texts commissioned which were not historical but novel. Most of the Sanskrit texts used came about long after the alleged death of Christ and would actually support the theory that Jesus was not crucified and travelled to the East. This is enough to disprove your theory that Satan is a Sanskrit word.
I do appreciate your connection in a philosophical manner as the Hindus do have many texts relating to demons and devils per se but these are inner demons not Godheads and do not relate etymologically.
Two good pointers are the OT and the Vedas; as a historical documents they are quite good for plotting the history of cultures and their development.
I am no scientist, but according to what I have heard, the ancient Veda texts are impossible toy date since there was an oral tradition of transmitting the ancient texts long before they were written down, just like the Homeric poems originally were only transmitted by recital and memorizing.
Thus the oldest sacred texts of ancient Greece and India are often dated to about the same time around or after BC, when also the first Hebrew texts probably were construed after the fall of Israel. Correct me if I am wrong. That is correct but dating the Vedras is not important, it is what they contain that is important.
Also the fact that they originate from oral tradition means that they are a word for word record in much the same manner as most hate the term third world countries are. These oral traditions are incredibly accurate, no Chinese whispers. The Sanskrit texts relating to the Bible are all AD; Sanskrit not relating to the Bible can be older, indeed as much as 5, BC is we include oral traditions later written but these do not relate to the Bible nor Satan. They are historical reference and not philosophical.
The Torah goes back tot he time of Moses to plus BC and Talmud to the period of Babylonian enslavement originally as an oral tradition but later being put onto paper papyrus.
Either way it still creating a problem for the intiatial point regarding Sat An. One thing, from an historical perspective is how texts changed from being historical tales to philosophical ones. Or is it simply a case of what has survived?
On the surface seems to be attributed to the Greeks but there were also the Sabaeans who wrote philosphic tales and it is my own personal belief that people like John the Baptist was preaching from this lineage; and, if he actually existed, Jesus too.
The Hindu texts can be more akin to what we can imagine associated with tribal Shamanic story telling and have a more metaphysical bent to them. As I said earlier, this has been and will be talked about infinitely. Who knows what Satan's real name is?
Spiritual entities are normally named according to their principal known effect. For the entity we call Satan this is opposition to the 'god' that demands absolute unthinking obedience and forbids the acquisition of knowledge hence his name in Hebrew meaning 'adversary'. It's what he does and represents that matters and if you want to call him Lucifer or Iblis or Fred or Bill that's fine by me and in my opinion fine by him too Laila.
What do you think of thios, Keith? I think that anyone can create a meme in the same way that anyone can post on Wikipedia. No matter how many times people put things on the internet does not necessarily mean they are real or true.
Whereas Etymology is quite a precise line of study which has proven the test of time. I have a couple of questions for you; who created the above meme and did they show their sources? We should also bear in mind that Sanskrit does not use the English alphabet. Well worth keeping in mind. Sorry, I actually don't know. It just appeared to me on my newsfeed anonymously, like so many satanic writings. In fact, all the most interesting satanic writings are usually anonymous. Just because you've had me doesn't mean you know me, in fact, the more you think you know me, the more you don't.
The harder you have tried to bind me, the more I've cut you off, in fact, you'll never probably see anything of me again. They can not deprive you of the slightest morsel of what's you or of your life, and whether it is envy or ill will that drives them on, they still can never penetrate your spiritual satanism, your shield, integrity and your insurance for eternity where you belong while they will never make it. Your real self How to bring it out? There always is a core, of course, and that's the difficulty, how to reach it and to find it.
Just get rid of all the dross, the pumped up ego, the preposterousness of your vanity, all that which you believed that actually was you, which isn't, since your only way to find yourself is to dispose of it, reduce yourself to nothingness and see what's left of you in total darkness. That's where you are, in darkness, nothing really but at best at least a spirit with a personal mind of its own, some kind of an integrity, and that's how you find Satan, all integrity and darkness; multiple and unknown personality but still a definite existence and a universal one.
Answerability Human sacrifice is totally abominable, you just mention it, and everybody shudders, thinking of those blackguards in the east decapitating hundreds almost every day of only innocent and harmless victims angrily hysterically shouting "Allah akbar! That's how the euthanasia issue has become legitimate as an affair as much as cannabis.
At one time, suicide was actually called self-murder. Yet we have the right to choose this, and it seems more honourable than being a burden. It is an affirmation of life to choose death in certain circumstances. The Priestess Her life is all for Satan, she has lost all other lives and left them hopelessly behind without the slightest link left with mundanity, while she has sacrificed all that she had to join her soul with the intimacy of Satan for the exploration of his wisdom, its acquirement, development and education of humanity in sharing it in his illumination.
Many call her sorceress, adulteress and even seductress, but I don't mind. He is no pipe dream but the central challenge of your life providing you with constant criticism and doubt and all your destiny with the adversities which forms it. All that he can promise you is his eternity in darkness in the light of the initiation into his illumination of the insight, knowledge and awareness of the cold black flame of his black sun. Grave peace There is no peace in any grave as graveyards growl in universal misery, emitting forth the gravity of their vibrations of a universal anguish constantly increasing and enveloping the world in darkest terror of the doom of death that looms and creeps with dire threats of gradually devouring us all in the since twenty centuries expected final reckoning which never comes while the account is growing worse for every day and every year in mankind's terrible deficit for corrupting, ruining, polluting and infecting everything.
That graveyard's gravity is sucking us all down in graver danger and in deeper depths than any hell or abyss without bottom for its darkness ever growing darker, so the situation could not hardly be more grave. Feel the grave itation. Of course, that turned me to the opposite, I asked too many questions, turned out fiercely critical and doubting everything. The dumb mistake of all oppressing brainwash systems, like monotheism, islam and communism and all autocracies is to believe you can accomplish anything by vain oppression.
Terrorism was first defined as government by intimidation, which can never lead to anything but natural reaction. The deeper you humiliate and subjugate a victim, the more furious and powerfully vengeance will arise, which is the satanic power, the dark force of the oppressed, the volcanic protest and reaction to injustice and iniquity, as Lucifer is seen as the most deeply fallen of them all, the most humiliated, slandered and degraded, forced into an awesome force of revolution and retaliation.
I think the thing the illuminati leaders know is the importance of altering the will of the masses. No change can be promoted successfully without the altering of the will. War, obvious dictatorships and so forth won't work in the long run. So now it's all about altering the will. I think what we see in the analysis of human history is a continuation of a process of degradation, people accepting lower and lower forms of government, the economy and technology have steadily got better, but the actual spiritual life gotten worse.
So, people nowdays are just following their will More or less but they are still cooperating with the agenda of the illuminati. This was a smart decision of their part. Lowest Common Denominator. My friends, we are intelligent enough to envision a better paradigm; is it not then our duty to depict it so that others may become Inspired and assist in it's Creation and Upholding?
This is why we're all three so outspoken, Laila and Andreas. We can't wash a Better World out of the front of our eyes; and, we don't wish to. Keep writing, keep Speaking Truth.
Like the Dandelion, our seeds are carried on the breath of the Winds. Indeed, Jae That's the best and all we can do. I know, this is an inconsistency, since I have often called him brother, and a brother must be personal if anything; it is the character of some kind of divinity that I find difficulty in digesting for my reason, while of course I must regard him the more deeply, piously and venerably as ubiquitous as something of the very essence of all life which all life must be able to relate to, feel related to and feel as their own soul, as something universal that all living beings have a part in and participate in, as the highest central wonder of existence.
Well, it seems to be a matter of some relativity and metaphysical dimensions, which of course can never thoroughly be finally investigated. No one has ever solved it. It's the enigma of enigmas and the mystery of mysteries, veiled in impenetrable darkness, where it happens all the time, concealed in secrecy and masked in unidentifiability, a process stealing in and all around existence, unnoticeable until the creation is fulfilled, and then it's there as a phenomenon to wonder at.
We don't know how creation started and shall never know it, since it cannot even be investigated or researched by any means; all you can do is to acknowledge its occurrence as the major thing in life for all of us, without which none of us would be here or exist.
Because of its mysterious total darkness, it is easy to identify its cause and source as something of the darkest force and power, and thus there's no one else to end up with than Satan. My wedding My wedding was a dark occasion. No relatives were present, only witnesses, and all my truest friends were demonstratively absent. Usually there are some tears of honesty, emotion and sincerity at every wedding, but my celebration was a dry one the more thoroughly drowned later in debauchery of drinking and carousing, just to cover up the falseness of the business.
I was nonplussed, could not understand the meaning of the freak show until later when I gradually came to realize that this black phoney wedding was a separation from the world, mundanity and regular convention and in fact a black mass masquerade in which fate gave me as a bride to Satan. Slavery What is the greatest slavery on earth?
But the most dire slavery of all is your own body with its constant urges of the needs of nature usually of most annoying kind, like the demand of toilet visits without end and, worst of all, the sexual drive. The unavoidability of coping with this bother is a problem you are stuck with all your life. The easiest way to cope with it I find is to submit to Satan, dedicating life and body to his service, and you'll find that you can stay alive as long as he is there to assuage the slavery of life, and make it quite enjoyable.
The body, a thought construct, a delusion of ourselves or an idea by a master? I completely agree about the slavery though, the needs of the body resulting in endless work and struggle, to fulfill physical needs and even the sex drive is totally worthless because no one actually has joyable sex, it's just an illusion, a way to create a sexual drive, resulting in slavery for the opposite sex.
No one knows where this will end Nails in the coffin Every now and then, and mostly when you don't expect it, someone or some circumstances will cause some adversity and nail an extra spike into your coffin, just for kicks or for some death reminder, and each time they will feel harder going deeper down into your flesh and heart, like in an effort to compel you to give up, which you of course must never do.
The thing to do is to move up in higher gear and leave the bloody saboteurs behind forgetting all about them, as if they had left existence. You can't wait for those who drown, the casualties beyond hope, the self-made victims, all those who can't follow and who aren't good enough. All you can do is cry for them, remember them, but never let them pull you down. Accept the nails into your coffin as the pain they are into your arse, but let them spurn you, not upset you. You lose your friends to only find them more alive again in the reunion of eternity, and they are there to wait for you until you come to join them, and you will keep merry company forever.
Interesting how the Drift of years erases everything. My "hometown" doesn't even remotely look the same. Kaveh, Finland fought two wars during the second world war, twice being attacked by the Soviet Union, who thought they could get Finland. The scars are still there. We're meant to be scattered to the Four Winds. Very often, folks like ourselves wouldn't have made the impact we have if we'd stayed at home all cozy. Indeed, the more scattered, the broader outlook If we're able to see one another as Touchpoints, might could be we will See further than the lemming dross.
You reveal more than you know to me; never fret, though. An Oracle is not an Oracle if i do not keep all Secrets impartially. Even the Darkness doesn't know all i carry. In order to survive it's necessary to see through all lies, expose them and dispose of them, or else you're lost in medieval superstition. Can satanism replace monotheism? No, never, since it's so entirely different. Satanism is the debunking of monotheism, and although satanism admits the possibility of something like a universal being and accepts it, it can never be another absolutist dogma trap.
It shatters all illusions and can therefore never make up new establishments of make-believe. Autocracies are always fakes and never last but usually end up in self-destruction as they make of truth their enemy, which penetration and exposure nothing immaterial can survive.
Spoken like someone who has no clue. To truly find the truth is to go all the way back to the beginning not remained trapped in the christian paradigm. Names names names And that is why He is so many things, to so many different kinds of practitioners Truth is Truth, beyond the god.
Same paradigm for the past 11, years; we can do better. I've looked into both sect of Satanism. Atheistic Satanism is not spirituality at all. LaVey has no idea about spirituality.
So both these are two extremities. Satan is void of religion And praying to him is a joke. Satan is above such shit. Embrace Satan by indulgence, extremism. Perversion, corruption, And self empowerment. Hail Satan!!!! The explosion of knowledge, insight and awareness This has been a consequence or a phenomenon of the important revolution of communications called the Internet with its remarkable potential for the boosting of accessibility of information, leading to the reassessment of the earlier holders of monopolies of knowledge and established norms, resulting in an avalanche of justified debunking of what was considered universally accepted truths, which all proved lies, especially some books, as Homer proved more valid than the Bible and Christianity and Islam more or less were proved preposterous as fakes and jewry without reason.
Truth can never be suppressed except to triumph and prevail the more; but insight, knowledge and awareness is contained in individuals, the individual initiative is first and last in leading mankind, and it usually only can originate alone in loneliness.
All we have to do is Speak Truth to Power, and, we've already won. It surprises everyone, when they find out i'm a Left-Hand Adept and they realize that i've never once deceived or lied to them about anything. One's conduct cannot help but prevail when it doesn't match their sick propaganda and Fear tactics. Limitation and expansion Self-limitation is usually accomplished by the prejudice of ignorance allowing it to be established by delusions, fixed ideas and premature conclusions, gradually ending up in stagnant waters of the mind, and then you are a hopeless nut case.
For expansion, all you need is to be active, always taking the initiative, keeping at it, and if you don't work you will find other methods. Meditation is the most constructive and benign one, studying, reading, learning, getting educated is all work, while sex is also a most necessary practice — how it's practiced is of less importance.
On the whole, don't be destructive but constructive only, which will profit everyone and most of all yourself. Satanic justice She was just an ordinary girl, perhaps too pretty and attractive but a virgin, obstinate as such, and she got raped and pregnant. A notice in the newspaper Vecher- niaia Moskva states that Deineka left for the United States the day before and would be staying there for three months.
He arrives in New York on De- cember The Art of Soviet Russia opens at the Pennsylvania Museum on December 15, and travels to seventeen cities in the United States and Cana- da over the two following years. Deineka works on a series of monumental panels depicting The Revolution in the Village for the assembly hall at the Commissariat of Agriculture Narkomzem in Moscow. He produces four oil sketches: Conversation of the Kolkoz Brigade [cat. The commission falls through and the panels are never completed.
As part of his work on this project, he is sent on an oficial commission to visit collective farms. January 8. The symbolist writer Andrei Belyi dies in Moscow.

You cant imagine how hard Ive had to work! I havent writ- ten in so long because I was getting ready for the show.
Even here thats fairly complicated, and then Troianovskii [the Soviet ambassador] came to the show. For two and a half hours I stood and shook hands with high and mid- dle class ladies and gentlemen, pretty tiring, and then dinner, also standing around with a plate. This week I will stay in Philadelphia until the 20th.
Then I will go to a small sports facilityan 1. Roman Plaza, Watercolor and gouache on paper, State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow 2.

Campaign against formalism. The sixth is- sue of the magazine Pod znamenem marksizma features an article by Polikarp Lebedev entitled Against Formalism in Art, in which the author states: The influence of formalism in Soviet paint- ing sometimes reaches artists whose artwork is not formalist by definition. See, for example, the work of S. Gerasimov or A. Signs of formalism in Soviet art are the remnants of capital- ism, which is particularly hostile to the socialist cause.
Deineka travels to Sevastopol with the painters Georgii Nisskii and Fedor Bogorodskii and draws sketches during his stay. Deineka takes part in a meeting orga- nized by the Tretyakov Gallery to address the prob- lem of Soviet exhibitions. In foreign countries, in New York for example. But once paintings are hung in a museum, it is not with the concern that eventu- ally they will be removed because an artist may be a genius today but a nobody tomorrow.
This idea does not exist. The piece will undoubtedly become part of the history of art in two or three years. So why should I care about what is written about me or the Defense of Petrograd for example? It can be hung or removed, but it has already fulfilled its his- torical purpose. Deineka signs a contract with the Soviet section of the Paris International Exhibition Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne planned for to produce designs for two monumental panels for the Soviet Pavilion, on National Festivities and Leading Figures.

The purge also extended to peasants the largest single group of those arrested and killed , Red Army oficers, the intelligentsia, minority groups and others.
Deineka signs another agreement with the Soviet section of the Paris International Exhibition to produce an enormous panel on the theme of National Festivities.
In a letter addressed to Serafi- ma Lycheva, he writes: Im going to have to paint a 7 x 12 meter panel here. Not in Paris, nuh-uh. He later wrote [It] had to be visible from all rooms, as determined by the architect, and should also conclude the exhibition.
I never saw the entire work, not when painting it in the given conditions 2 4 3 5 6 7 Fundacin Juan March 20 of light and perspective [Deineka had to paint it in cramped quarters under artificial light], nor when it was installed in Paris.

Entitled Stakhanovites, it was exhibited in the final room of the Soviet Pavil- ion, which was famously topped by Vera Mukhinas monumental sculpture The Worker and Collective Farm Woman. Guernica by Pablo Picasso was on display at the Spanish Pavilion. On June 15, , Deinekas mural is awarded the gold medal in the painting category.

According to the 66th issue of Arkhitek- turnaia gazeta, Deineka is working on sketches for the main hall of the planned Palace of the Soviets which is never built. One of the walls was to be dedicated to the Red Army and the Civil War. Deineka agrees to draw a sketch for a mosaic panel on the subject of On Stalins Path to be displayed in the main room of the Soviet Pavilion at the Worlds Fair exhibition in New York in As Deineka was behind schedule, the com- mission is eventually given to the painter Vasilii Efanov and a brigade of artists.
Inauguration of the Maiakovskaia metro station, designed by the architect Aleksei Dushkin. The vaults of the platform are decorated with thirty-five mosaic panels by Deineka on the theme of A Day and Night in the Land of Soviets, representing garden, factory, sport, aviation and construction scenes. Gustavs Klucis is arrested in Moscow. He is executed on Stalins order several weeks later. Deinekas first spouse, the artist Pavla Freiburg, was also arrested that year and would die during her imprisonment a few months later.
During the Third Trial of the Great Purge, nearly twenty people are charged with allegedly belonging to a bloc of Rightists and Trotskyites led by Nikolai Bukharin, former chairman of the Comintern, and ex-prime minister Aleksei Rykov.
They are all found guilty and executed. The ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev is born in Irkutsk Siberia. The Russian economist Nikolai Kondratiev, who had been a proponent of the New Economic Policy, is sentenced to death and ex- ecuted in Siberia. The poet Osip Mandelshtam dies in a labor camp outside Vladivostok.
