Personal journey and its relation to GSB
Hail all!
I felt the need to share fragments of my personal journey in hope to self-reflect and inspire others.
To be honest, I never felt that I belonged to a Satanic religion, group or movement. The reason was that, despite the stir I was constantly feeling within me, I did not find anything regarding to Satanism that resonated with me. For me, Satanism was not a plain and specific lifestyle with ''rules'' to follow. It was a much more esoteric and nuanced approach to my own life and actions. Furthermore, this refined approach guided me to view Satanism as a wide spectrum of behaviors, mindsets and ways of living.
In the Satanic Path, as explored by @Malick Zaldron, it's stated (and I quote): ''GSB is not just a place where to โcum in the name of Satanโ ''. This phrase alone speaked deeply to me since, apart from any sexual acts, thoughts and practices I embrace, it hints that there is much more to discover within Satanism. Moreover, the introductory section of the Satanic Path cements what I always had in mind: the most realistic and shareable form of Satanism is also about encouraging critical thinking regarding subjective views.
My personal journey has shown that there is indeed something within me that sparks intense emotions. I will again quote a phrase from the Satanic Path: ''...Satan gives you a hard dick. And not Satan as Satan, but Satan as a symbol of a dialectic that for some reason makes your dick hard.'' The cognition about Satanism as something much more than submittion and/or compliance to desires, is exactly why I find GSB intellectually powerful. Over and above that, Satan is not presented as a deity or an extrernal influence. He (or it) is something that rises from ones self, and it can be manifested in infinite ways.
In conclusion, GSB supports freedom within the limits of reality and, at the same time, offers itself as a tool for personal evolution and self-understanding. This, among the other reflections I made by reading the Satanic Path, concludes on why I find GSB both compelling and deeply personal. Thank you for reading my thoughts. Feel free to add your own reflections and/or conclusions! Hail to GSB!
