Dear Aristocrap
When I first found out about the temple I think I was around your age, the ToS did really caught my mind's eye, however I was very uncertain that I would be so easily accepted even when by that time I already had some experience with Crowley and LaVey.
Every time I found...
Set was first.
For most of us the "name" is not that important, unless it becomes a personal approach to it as to a like for mythology and it's study it makes no difference. The trickster god has been represented in many cultures in many mythologies and in many lights. At least for msyelf it...
It is not that "LaVeyan Satanism" is the one that they are concerned the most with, as there are plenty of Theistic Satanists (and other RHPps) there. It's just that when it comes to Theistic anything, facts are deluded into beliefs and beliefs are hard to prove with evidence and data, which is...
Read the Satanic Bible, it works both for theists and atheists. Thought by no means is the Ultimate word, it is a nice book that has some basic common sense together, which you will need if you want to keep on going.
For the theists are different manifestations of what Satan is, and not all the...
Not at all, but that is from a Satanist or Sinister Path follower point of view. If your patient is, on the other hand, very attached to it's christian imposed beliefs, he may wish to represent them the best way the christian church has tell everyone a Satanist is to be, and what a better way...
Hello Daelach
Thank you, very interesting indeed. Just recently I thought to check the whole page, so I'll be reading for a while. Thanks again.
Regards.
Probably there's something in the air...
I've never been much of a socializer, besides my boy and my wife, books are my best friends ._.
But hi back n.n!
Your rhetoric question and obvious answer is understandable, however as you might imagine, for us LHPps is completely unbearable. Being manipulated even by those we love and trust and care for is unthinkable, we may even get along with someone we don't care but the more love we feel the more...
Though let's clarify that being selfish and aproving revenge doesn't mean we are not capable of forgiveness or of altruist acts, quite the contrary, while RHPps are in fact conditioned since birth to forgive and be altruist they usually do so while expecting the other part to eventually do the...
Hello there, I hope my words find you well.
I just read your Setianism VS Satanism, I have one question that I hope if you have time you could answer for me (or in a new topic or text), as someone that has no relation-link with the ToS nor ever will look for one, what meaning do you see in the...
You need to remember that TV / Film is not real, the idea of a Satanist all dressed in black, with dark mysterious eyes, a snake on his neck and a skull on his desk... well, we have seen it in real life, but doesn't really speak for all of the LHP practicioners.
We have, as stated above, a...
I believe Christianity originally had many things that were "Satanic" in essence, the problem with it started when (and their LHP similarities ended when) they tried to force everyone into it.
To be honest, probably the only one who truly followed those teachings was Magi Jesus himself, but in...
The Setian path (as I don't particularly like much the "Setianism" term) is a path of evolution for the self. This is achieved by first realizing who you are, fixing whatever problems you have and then aligning who you are with who you want to be.
As a Setian the only bad thing for you is to...
I didn't mean to offend you in any way, nor your intelligence, nor your ability to understand and I'm sorry if I did, I just saw you were having a hard time with some of the answers (or wouldn't keep on asking) and wanted to help.
I really wanted you to have the answeres you were looking for...
"To avoid any friction, let me address this question to the Setian. How does the Setian view the importance of Ethics from a philosophical stance? Does the Setian view Ethics as an important practice in order to transcend?"
Ok, you are right. I'm sorry.
"But what threw me off was that i...
I'm sorry but that is not what you asked.
Copy-paste magic once again:
"Im curious if any affiliated members can elaborate on how the Temple views Ethics and their importance?"
If you would have asked what each affiliated person felt personally regarding ethics then it would have been...
