The Heros Journey
The pentacle symbolizes the hero's journey. It contains the golden ratio - transmuting your soul into gold, the gong energy hitting the golden ratio, energy that charges you, combined with meditation and yoga sets you on the path to godhead. This golden spiral is in our DNA helix of life, its in the shape of galaxies. And its in the pentacle. It's about reaching godhood. This is the real Satanism and its no wonder the masses are taught to fear and hate it, that somehow the pentacle is 'evil'.
When the truth is Satanism is about transmuting your soul into perfection.
If you were truly freed from the negative aliens control, with an immortal perfected soul, these negatives couldn't continue their tyranny. So of course they discourage people to do anything spiritual, sow misinformation (new age, the bible etc). They love to mock. Thats a tin foil hat thing! They ridicule, mock and insist on 'proof' of anything psychic. While being fully aware you don't need anybody else's proof, all you need do is experience the unseen for yourself. And you'll know it's real. And you'll want to take the journey for yourself.
It takes a hero to face the fear and go into the dark, to grapple with their fear, choose to face the truth and advance. It's easy to stick your head in the sand and act like a sheep. The hero is a leader, the sheep is a follower. Real Satanists don't follow.
The Hero's journey is an archetypal mythos which can be seen in all different cultures and their mythologies. There are different stages to this journey, just as there are different energy centers, or 'gods'...the chakras.
It begins when the hero sets out on a journey; to acquire something, to attain wisdom. The ultimate goal being the advancement of ones soul. During his adventures he (or she) endures trials and tribulations, which serve to uncover qualities within that the person didn't even know they had, ultimately leading to transformation from the inside to the outside.
The hero's journey is ultimately the Satanic spiritual, occult (unseen) journey. And this journey begins when we feel/experience the call to adventure. Inner space is limitless; gaining in spiritual knowledge and advancing ones soul power, achieving the great work is the goal of the Satanist.
And it is an adventure. It doesn't have to be all serious, it can be fun too.
When you begin to understand there is much more to this world than merely the four walls around you, the cube of materiality, more than just the physical is to realize there is a metaphysical aspect to reality, and you feel the beginnings of a longing to understand more about these unseen realms. It is the call, inviting one to the quest.
To seek to learn spiritually, the attainment of wisdom and hopefully attain the great work (the world). This includes raising the kundalini, merging the two aspects of self (masculine and feminine), attaining an immortal soul, opening the third eye of wisdom. This is the eye which can see truth. It is the search for the holy grail. The real 'cup of life' which is found inside each person. Where the nadis meet, the flowering of the lotus, is the acquisition of spiritual understanding and wisdom. Firsthand knowledge and experience of which leads to transformation of the person both inside and out.
The hero symbolizes the god potential within each of us. The journey the story of transmutation of the soul into something greater, god like. This is what we as Satanists must seek. It's the real search for the grail.
It begins with then, a call, or the sense of a calling. An etherial fissure that allows admittance to the possibility of something greater. Opening oneself to the realities of hidden worlds. Guided by unseen powers/mysterious forces (a guardian perhaps), the hero comes to understand through the course of the journey they have set upon their goal is spiritual truth and freedom, to incorporate truths into their being.
Satan endorses truth and freedom.
Inner space is vast and deep, the journey to advance ones soul is like a craft set against the abyss. The ultimate prize the great work. And it is an adventure. A struggle. It's hard to break the entropy of sitting on the couch, of never paying attention. It's work. And not for the faint of heart.
There is so much more to this world than merely the four walls around you, the physical, L brain logic. There are non physical, R brain, intuitional, deeply transcendent aspects to yourself and to the galaxy. As above, so below. We are all bound by the same rules. We are limitless, like the fibonacci.
Desire, Will and Expectation. Feel the desire in ones heart to learn, to explore - the calling, the ultimate reason for living. Strive to advance your soul and through doing so and the example you set for others, you assist them to find their way as well, thus making the universe a better place overall.
How do we go about this? We strive to raise the kundalini, merge the two aspects of self, masculine and feminine by which is meant balancing these energies so they work together in harmony, rather than fighting one another. To conqour the beast that lives within, that would drive you to self destruction or drugs, bad habits, actions in this life that are of no benefit to yourself. Gradually we attain the immortal soul and open the third eye, the eye of wisdom. This is the eye which sees truth. In occult terms, you'd understand it as a form of 'knowing'. You just...know.
The journey into inner space, discovery of self is the real search for the 'holy grail' (which is not a christian artifact). The church externalized this. Which has served to mislead and lead people away from the path. The real 'cup of life'; the 'god' is found within. But the church wanted to mislead, in order to harvest that worship energy. They claim the cup of life to be created by the jesus thoughtform. To keep you literally and spiritually in the dark.
Kundalini rises, meets in the area of the third eye which then opens completely, also opening the lotus blossom of the crown, the channel into non physical worlds. We are multi dimensional beings, capable of existing in many different dimensions simultaneously. Born to seek understanding of these realities, how we fit into them. Knowledge is power. Once we understand something, we can utilize it. We transmute ourselves into something greater, grander.
The ultimate hero's journey. Our journey. The journey of the Satanist. To become an advanced being, god-like.
We're stuck in a mundane physical reality that requires we work and pay rent. The focus is on the L brain, the physical and logic. Intuition is poo poohed. One is forced to work and produce something. Produce and consume, produce and consume. This is an alien concept. This is not our system but belongs to the ones who came in and built their inverted reality overtop ours. We are more than mere drudges, working for the betterment of alien overlords.
The next common element of the journey is the appearance of a mysterious figure, someone who helps set the hero on their path.
This could be a 'higher' self, guardian, ancestor, god like being, mysterious stranger, a wizard, etc. Something unknown. This is code for the occult. That which is unseen is reaching out to challenge the status quo. To shake up your world.
Some will initially refuse to heed. They will say things like: “Oh, stuff like that isn't real! Prove it! Give me evidence! It's your imagination, it's not real!” They have no imagination or faith that there is more than what one can physically touch and 'prove'.
Some will leap at the opportunity. These will receive assistance from this mysterious figure or guardian.
The hero sets off with the instructions or guidance given. Stepping out into the unknown, leaving behind all they thought they knew. This takes courage. This is where the tarot card Strength comes in. The taming of the beast. By harnessing the strength of the beast, you use it to help you, rather than savage you.
Each persons experience is subjective and personal. There are many paths to the same destination.
At this point the hero may meet the guardian of the threshold standing between the known and what is unknown. The hero must overcome their fear to meet the challenge. The guardian of the threshold can be seen as a symbol of the fears a person has to overcome, not always a literal person.
When they face the fear, they pass through the darkness (the nigredo in the magnum opus, Death in the Tarot) to emerge into the light of a new existence as a transformed being (The Sun in Tarot).
The hero undergoes a series of trials with the aid of the guardian or supernatural assistance. At this point discovering there is a force or power in the universe. Experiencing for themselves the fact that 'reality' is much larger and deeper than ever suspected.
The hero meets the goddess, the feminine force, becomes one with it. He meets the male half, atones with it and merges with it . This is the ida and pingala meeting in the third eye (High Priest and High Priestess in Tarot).
We all contain these male and female energies. When we balance them, they'll work together rather than against one another. People today are very much out of balance. Too much in the L brain.
Now the hero has conquered his fears, goes through the trials and achieves enlightenment. Traditional mythos teaches this power is that which is within, and we can achieve it.
This is the god within, the one who requires 'sacrifice' and 'worship'. The 'sacrifice' is that of our time and energy as it's time and energy to do yoga, meditate and all the rest. The 'worship' is the time spent feeding ones soul by doing the things we love that feed us. Like a dancer who dances for the love of it. The artist for whom time stops as they go into deep void while working. These things that lift us out of ourselves feed our soul and are forms of self love (a form of worship). This is a pure energy meant to be fed to oneself, not given away to alien thoughtforms. The one true god is within.
The hero is reborn as a superior god like being (The Emperor/Empress in Tarot)and returns to the mundane world, to transmit what he/she has learned to others.
The hero's journey is contained within the tarot. The four suits reflect the journey in the mundane physical world, things we all experience in the physical world having to do with money, emotions, thought and manifestation.
The Major Arcana reflects the greater realities of the spiritual or non physical worlds. The really big stuff as opposed to the day to day stuff. The 0 card, the fool, is the zero point, arising from the probability field to begin materialization. He symbolizes the first step on the path of the hero. Will you choose wisely? Or foolishly? It is the search for gold, reflected by the symbol for gold. This is code because the real gold is that of the spirit, the purified or immortal soul.
The alchemical symbol for gold has two golden spirals coming off the top, symbolizing the golden mean, the fibonacci. The pentacle is a perfect fractal and contains within it the golden mean, which is the hero's journey.
The World (in Tarot) is the culmination of the hero's journey, attainment of the ultimate prize, the great work or magnum opus, the culmination of a process by which we attain a purified soul, open the eye of wisdom and connect to the greater unseen (occult) reality all around us. The body is the womb of the soul.
