I'm noticing most religions directly or indirectly point to astrolatry. What do you think about worshipping celestial bodies? Is that your path? Any experiences you can share about it?
I don't mean old Greek, Roman or Indian (Navaratra) gods. I mean direct worship of the spirit of every planet...
Strange; I've noticed a big difference between the encircled inverted pentagram (the pentacle), and the one without the circle. I can't stand the encircled one.
To achieve the final goal, you know, Buddhists typically repeat the "Om mani padme hum" or the "Nam myoho renge kyo", Hinduists the Hare Krishna or the Om nama shivaya, Christians the Lord's Prayer and Hail Mary, etc.
Which mantra or affirmation is the most popular for Satanic meditation? Maybe...
I believe I received a thought from Shiva about the inverted pentagram: "It means that you are recoursing to your inner sun instead of the external sun. That's why it's a symbol of the Left Hand Path."
Even if it's not a real message from Shiva and just my own thoughts, it makes sense.
All paths led me to "worshipping" (if that's the right word) my higher self and as it was always difficult for me to get results, I ended up with Kali and Shiva; since those masters are a very good (indirect) way to connect to the female and male aspects of the true self. And in the Left Hand...
All of that it's up to the state of your mind. Spiritual practices change the state of your mind. Luck also depends on the state of your subconscious mind.
So in short, where you go after death, it's just up to the state of your mind. If you have depression, guilt or a complex of inferiority, you'll go to bad places to get punished; because you feel you don't deserve better. If you feel happy about yourself, you "vibrate highly" and you go to...
Also consider that the "blood of Jesus" could just mean "solar energy", since I think he's really one aspect of the Sun god as a teacher. "The light of the World".
Define "weird". Drinking blood and flesh is "weird", but every Christian is supposed to do it.
But don't worry, the god in question, whether it's Jesus or Mithra, can give you any amount of his blood and flesh he wants... He doesn't even have to hurt himself.
I believe we humans are all a mixture of alien and ape. The ape is the problem. So the mass purifies your DNA, so you become the divine being (alien) that you originally were. After that, the next stage is losing your body altogether. You achieve a level of enlightenment where your "body" is...
I don't know if death is for everybody; there are stories of Buddhist monks that disappeared to leave nothing but a few small stones (relics) and people who ascend, instead of dying. i.e., their physical body passes to a higher dimension. Those wouldn't end in an underworld, although I think...
You may worship Hindu gods or bodhisattvas in Buddhism, but it's not mandatory. The idea of my path now is recurring only to my true self, although it's damn difficult. I don't know if some god is blocking me, or if it's just my mind or both.
Normally you'd get more subtle physical proofs. But what if Krishna came down in a vimana and entered in your room to visit you? Would you run away in fear or welcome him? Or you'd believe you're insane? Krishna would never appear to you if you'd have a heart attack when you see him.
BTW, why...
Isn't it obvious? You call someone and he comes to help you, thus he exists.
No permanent results mostly. But results anyway. And a few of them permanent.
