Reality and What is Real

W

work, we see things around us. This is the world we all live in. It is substantial and real. This is our reality. But is it really real? Or is this just a dream of ours. This is what is called Perceptive Reality, it is the world we perceive to be real and how we perceive it. What might be real to one person might not be real to another. It all depends on each person Perspective Reality in relation to their Perceptive Reality, and how the two relate to each other in the individual’s mind. This goes very heavily for religion and is why I say that no one form of Satanic worship is truly incorrect as long as it can still be called “Satanism” by adhering to the basic

fundamentals of the Satanic religion.

The Satanic Community has many different twists to the same religion. Some are more pronounced than others. It can be said that one could look at two forms of Satanism and see the same exact rituals and basic tenants and goals, but one might perceive that Satan is in fact a very real entity while the other simply sees him as a metaphorical figure. Both forms of

Satanic practice, though practically identical to each other, could then be seen as correct because they are the same thing except in their Perceptive Realities.

Perception is important to a Religion as well as to people. We all perceive something unique to our selves. This is why people change or convert to a religion. Something about that religion fits into their perception of the world around them.

We are the ones who make and destroy gods and ethereal beings. If we perceive that the devil is real then to us he is. And if a group people all perceive the same thing as being real then it is real and can even manifest to affect others. This is called Suggestive Reality. It can be done with making a simple comment and implanting a notion into some ones brain such as done in Covert Hypnosis or by influencing them through other means. One could simply say to a person the following

statement to achieve Suggestive Reality.

“I want you to for a moment to stop and

contemplate your personal religious beliefs. Are they in fact true and correct? Think about all the provable facts that say that what you believe is wrong. Stop and

question your god if he is real and ask him to prove it right now. Nothing will happen.”

I have just subjected you to “Suggested Reality”. If you just did what I said even for a second you just submitted to a suggested reality. I suggested you

question your religion and any deities you may have and ask them to prove themselves right in that instant. I

then said that nothing will happen, and no doubt no proof came to you of their existence. No miracle or apparition or any thing made its self known or appeared. Why? Because I first got you to question them. By questioning your own faith you had doubt in its working. I made the suggestion that nothing would happen and nothing did more than likely. I essentially altered your Perceptive and Perspective Realities by Suggesting my own to you in such a way that you subconsciously accepted it as fact.

Don’t be mad, we all do this on a regular basis to other people. We do it almost every day without even knowing we do it. I just simply brought your attention to it.

It is what is called covert or conversational hypnosis. It is simply making a series of simple

statements that make sense to a person to bring them to a single idea that they think is their own but is in fact yours. One could in effect convince a person to willingly hand you money or to convert to a new religion with this method of speaking.

By using conversational hypnosis we often influence and affect other peoples’ perspective reality. In some cases we alter it completely. This is often the case when someone chooses to convert to a new religion. They have found something that has altered their perspective reality so profoundly that they are compelled to change. This is done by first making a simple suggestion that in turn changes their perspective

on something that then alters the way they perceive their chosen religion. I.E. it is now wrong and doesn’t work. They are then forced to change faiths to suit their new perspective.

But Satanism doesn’t do this at all initially. Most Satanists fist off must already see things from a specific stand point to begin with. They are then presented often with the views of Satanism that for the most part already agree with their way of thinking. The choice is then left up to them if they want to call them self something that they already are or to continue with out the title. It is only very rarely that one converts from another religion to Satanism. Often times one first encounters Satanism through the Satanic Bible. LaVey in the book makes it very clear that only people who already think in the basic manner that the book outlines are true Satanists. He also makes it clear that he doesn’t want people to simply convert over to his way of

thinking. Though this does at times happen it makes it very rare with Satanism.

But where the alterations to the Satanists perceptions occur is when they meet other Satanists. Every one takes a slightly different twist on the same idea. Some take a more radical twist than others. As such, different types of Satanism are born. Each of these types offer brotherhood and claim to be correct while stating that the others are wrong. The simple truth is that they are all correct and can all be called Satanism, so long as they adhere to the basic tenants of

a style that best suits the practitioner. There is nothing wrong in believing that the Devil is real if that is what works for you. This is your perspective realty, use it and work. And should something alter it where it no long works, then change it to fit your new reality.

Remember though that you should never try to force yourself to believe in something that doesn’t automatically fit into your current perception and perspective on things. If you are a christian trained to think god is all that, you should not try to perform in a Satanic ritual that exonerates the very being you’re taught is the enemy unless in your perspective god and Satan are one in the same being and your simply paying respect to both sides of the same coin. Similarly if you’re a Buddhist and hate violence. You should not then try to make a nuclear bomb and become a terrorist. One should never ever try to make them selves fit into their religious views if it contradicts that in which they already believe. They should instead find a religion that already fits into their current way of thinking. That way the religion doesn’t need to try to teach the practitioner any thing that they don’t already agree with automatically and the person can easily and painlessly fit into their religion without any fuss. Anything else simply creates problems and conflicts with in the practitioner.

If a Satanist perceives that Satan is real, then he is to that individual. If the Satanist perceives, however, that Satan is nothing more than a simple metaphor for

person. Both types of Satanists can in fact feed off of each other during a ritual and benefit. The true believer can use the non believer as a source of self reliant energy or battery, while the nonbeliever can

subsequently use the other as a focal point to heighten their experience with the ritual to new heights. Both benefit from each other, the non believer simply allows the true believer to influence his Perceptive reality with his exuberance in the ritual, which in turn he can then get into the ritual even more to help egg on the true believer even further. This can continue to go on back and forth until the end of the ritual. By then both participants can then walk out of the ritual feeling as light hearted and giddy as school kids.

This is how suggestive reality works in Satanism as well as other religions that allow such things. I have seen and heard of normally somber nuns and priests walk into an exuberant religious service of a different religion or denomination and get caught up in the moment by the other participants. It isn’t until later on after things have died down that the concept that they are of different denominations or even of two totally different religions even occur. Perhaps the greatest example I have ever seen of this was at a Wiccan ritual I attended a few years back at a non denominational Universalist church.

During the ritual women were allowed to get up and join hands and dance and sing around the alter. Unbeknown to most of the attending group was the

fact, she was not only a nun but the mother superior of a local convent. The nun who had been watching in silence during the ritual had gotten so caught up in the moment by the simple actions of honoring the feminine spirit she got up and joined the other women around the alter much to every ones surprise at her simple presence. No one said a word and they never stopped dancing. The result was a sudden increase in the level of energy in the air and a pleasant feeling of unity. I simply sat back with those who had decided to watch and smiled at this turn of events and enjoyed the rest of the ritual quietly. After words I approached the older

woman and asked her what made her decide to attend a Wiccan ritual. I kept the fact that I was a Satanist quiet to her as I didn’t want to startle her or frighten her into changing back to any old views she might have now shed about witches.

She told me that she had come to originally spread the word of god. But upon gaining entrance to the service a strange feeling of peace came over her and over the course of the ritual she had gotten the urge to get up and dance with the rest of the women. The end result was a simple shedding of old thoughts that

witches were evil and of the Devil. Naturally I smiled at this, and kept my mouth shut as to who I was, and left her with her new found thoughts. I don’t know what ever happened to the old woman after that but I have heard that she has been spotted at several other rituals since then.

She originally came to cause trouble and try to change others, but left with herself changed instead and with a lot of new and interesting friends. This is a good example of a person’s perception being altered by suggestion. It was probably already rooted in her subconscious that she was disgruntled with women taking a back seat in christendom. To her, women had been subverted for so long that when she saw for the first time that the feminine figure was being honored, she was compelled to change her point of view.

Reality is what we make it. It is all part of our perception and perspective. It is also very important to note these things when we are conducting our selves in a religious service, or trying to find a religion that suits us. If something does not conform to how we see things we tend to cast it aside or rail against it. But when we find something that fits into our own reality we adopt it.

We perceive our own individual realities. We are the makers and destroyers of the gods according to our own chosen faith and perspective. Therefore, reality is what ever you chose to make it. It is what ever you chose to accept into your own world, and what ever is not is brought to scrutinizing questioning. This is only human nature, and should be encouraged, not denied.
