Par for the Course

[ODIUM]

As of late I've had quite a bit of frustration to deal with in my life, at least with the plate I've had to eat off of recently; but a doer chins up and moves on.

Part of life is as LaVey said; turning liabilities into commodities. If one can learn to perform this not so little feat of magic then limitations will be made to fall by the wayside. Such is truly an example of bending the circumstancial into the way of ones uttermost Will.

Fear is a prime motivator in humanity, however just how it motivates and manifests itself is entirely up to the perceiver / applicator. Sadly most people just let themselves be consumed or emotionally and psychologically crippled by a moment of chance. It takes a strong willed human being to jettison the unproductive in an experience and make it work for them in a beneficial manner.

Now one may think, huh, just what to do? I my friends have an answer which is rather simple. Psychologically one must twist, bend and contort the mind which under pressure has only three general mechanisms.

Those being of course; 1. Fight 2. Flight and 3. Hide (or cower)

One and two are quite well known and three is simply not an option unless sufficiently outnumbered by situations which would necessitate a run and hide survival instinct as a last resort, but lets be brave and stick with No. 1.

It has been stated that ' all of life is a battlefield ', which it is. From the microcosmic level of cell structures to the beasts of the field everything fights to live just another day. It is this instinct of pure volatile reaction to loss which is the strongest motivator in nature. One could say it is the primer of life, and every now and then fear gives it a jump start.

Human beings are lazy animals, they fall prey to their own fatalisms nurturing them with a disease called the death instinct which is a very real thing for an animal which is in full realization of it's impending demise. However if you're not dying you better get busy living.

Everyday sick and twisted human beings experience this (death instinct) for no other reason than being psychologically weak.

Christianity and all such other subjective aberrations of the human animal live to support this weakness, in fact they glorify and enshrine it. It is the achievement of a higher mind to transcend such idiocy.

The first step is to manipulate yourself and one shall be scant to do this if they cannot first "know themself". This is where psychological or lesser magic comes into play, this is the foundation. This is a discipline to be adhered to on a daily basis.

The second step is the fulcrum point in subjectively extending oneself into becoming what they want to be in life, and the most opportune time to do this is when in impetus. The prime motivating factors in life are a catalytic springboard for pushing the mind and Will via emotive sensitivities and states of heightened awareness.

Volatile psychological states (and there are potentially many) MUST be productively utilized lest these energies be re-absorbed to no purposefulness. It has been said that stress kills, but why should it us?

Every minute of every hour of everyday you are dying, but while alive one must fight and so this brings me to seizing the moment. Everyone is familiar with the ol' saying don't let the moment pass you by, well in pushing events in your favor nothing could be more correct.

Heraclitus said "Nothing endures but change" and so I say why not be a vehilce for that very thing.

Emotive states should be seized upon and not wasted. Energies should be channeled and not left to be filtered into dilution. If ever there was a time for ritualizing oneself it is in moments of utter need. These are charged instances for which it is on a most simplistic & lesser level..mentally healthy to vent.

So now in recalling the above, there are those three mental / instinctual mechanisms which are imprinted up the psyche and which move our flesh. And they will move you in one way or another, but exactly to what ends is your choice, you always have a choice.

Satanism calls for us to FIGHT against the death instinct and that fight is an ongoing battle lest one lay down ones arms or worse fall to ones knees. Satanists take with zeal all that life has to offer and so one wills a liability into becoming a commodity.

Do not waste emotionally charged moments in life, but with them charge forth into the unknown and make reality work for you.

Never relax your resolve to fight, for everytime that you do is just another step towards your eventual death and the welcoming of death is for the weak willed. Satanism is for the strong and mighty minded who stand against the swords of injustice whatsoever that might be. Triumph is the only option.

This writing is an addendum of my own experiences tonight which as part of such workings I share here with you.

In closing; The author tonight awoke from a stress dream, an obvious vex psychological trigger; and needless to say it was utilized. In fact it was a moment cast into time, into the IS TO BE as a vehicle of his machinations and verily I say unto you it was par for the course.
