My Personal Philosophy 8*******

My belief system and how I judge the morality of a situation are largely based on my following of the LaVeyan Satanism religion. Although I do not particularly agree with a lot of the dogma of the religion, it is easy to bypass this for the thought process behind the basic ideas, of which there are 7. However, it is more relevant to state which sects I particularly choose to follow. The most important once is my strong desire to satisfy selfish desires. To me, there is nothing wrong with doing anything, as long as it gets me closer to a goal. This is one of the big ideas: indulgence over abstinence. 

Unfortunately, this kind of mindset can easily get one into trouble, so there must be a certain degree of moderation. My basis for such a skill is not very well developed, but a new theory has been internally developed. This theory of mine is that regardless of my actions, or my internal thought process, everything is going to happen the same as it always would. In other words, it is impossible for multiple things to occur, therefor there is a defined path for the future, that must be strictly defined by the laws of physics and the universe. Such a belief destroys your perception of so called "free choice." With this revelation, you are able to live in a world free of responsibility. People get pretty pissed at me.

However, it is easy to buy into to the perception of choice so I often do, so I can live a life of purpose. When in such a mindset I will often try to optimize my life, for I believe that there exists a very key sequence of choices that I make that will result in the perfect reality. Such a reality is very reachable, if only I possessed the precise knowledge of how to acquire it. Such a belief allows for infinite hope, as theoretically anything is possible. However, most cases my attempts will result in very disappointing results, but such is life.

Overall, life is a pretty bland form of existence. Such a boring experience begs for exploration into other realms. Travel is big goal of mine, but with it comes great economic responsibilities. It is highly important that my future can support all of my choices. That's pretty stupid, but such is life.

"Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or
emotional gratification!"

This is a quote from the one of the satanic statements.

  1. Thanks for sharing your beliefs - I looked up the system you subscribed to and found it very interesting, and I appreciate having a bit more insight into your thinking.

    Your discussion of free choice is intriguing. If everything has a predetermined course, then there is really no responsibility. And yet, you buy into choice so that you can have purpose. Seems like there is an external and internal force that you are talking about here. Your internal force wants purpose, even if it has no tangible outcome on your life and path.

    When considering colleges next year, you should look into their education abroad programs up front. Some schools have special programs for students to be able to travel abroad very early on in your college career, while others won't allow you to until you are an upper classman. If you travel abroad through school and receive financial aid, that aid will transfer abroad as well.
