In Spiritual Satanism there are no fasts, vegetarianisms, celibacy commands, or anything of the sort. None of these are necessary or needed to advance spiritually. On the other hand, Spiritual Satanism is against stupidity. Part of this stupidity is out lack of understanding of measures, self control, and other similar culprits of being unwise. That is solved by meditation and understanding.

What we have to keep in mind of, is that so long one is a human being, we have a pool of great potential in our emotions, emotional drives, the drives that are generally called "Lower". Christianity preaches that these are to be attacked and destroyed. This leads to all the destruction that we can observe in the adherents of these programs.

We are alive creatures and we are to remain this way. We are not to become borg or to slay all our emotions and drives. That leads to nullifying one major aspect of the spirit, and it leads to a deficient soul, bringing with it many destructive forces.

Muslims that will behead someone over a disagreement due to barbarous drives out of control, or your average gluttonous christian pedophile "Priest", or your average neurotic family member that never stops promoting Jesus as if it's an STD everyone has to partake into: All of these are the results of extremely repressed, misplaced, and wronged drives.

These types all preached about what was there to do, and not only they never applied what they preach [because it cannot be applied], but in cases they did, they created a nuke inside themselves, leading to personal and social ruin. That is the sure proof way to destroy one's self and one's soul.

The overwhelming neuroticism, stupidity, and savagery of people who follow the enemy programs, how gluttonous and animalistic they are, or how they transform to dead husks, are all notions of the same imbalance that they create through their anti-human practices.

Satanism preaches indulgence, but returning to the point in the above paragraph, stupidity is where we have a red line. One is stupid if they don't understand their limits, or they do things that will be damning to one's self.

The so called "Lower Drives", as psychology also understands, are in many ways the sources or the darker waters that give birth to the so called "Higher Drives". To give a very simple example, the lust of men can be either what makes them cheat or destroy, or it can be a feeling of lust towards women, that when properly controlled, can make someone physically successful in the material or financially, something which will later attract a specific portion of women.

The same feeling of lust, can also give rise to children, or help people bond their relationships. The very same feeling of lust can lead to depletion from overmasturbation, guide someone to stay in a toxic relationship, or cloud one's judgement to the point of grave errors.

This energy is there, no matter what, and propels us to do decisions. We do NOT want to stop this soil from producing fruit perpetually. Instead, we want to give it proper nutrition, cultivation, and throw the correct seeds in the soil, rather than seeds of negativity or destruction. The soil itself is great and not like the enemy dogma preaches. It's the farmer's stupidity or neglect that causes the problems here.

What most people think here is that if one reads something about how to control these passions, it's actually going to change anyone.

Reading my posts here, or accepting knowledge I or otherwise people might offer someone, a friend or a teacher, or anyone, does not really put these drives in their place. It can help your mind understand what you need to do, but application and control are up to you.

An example of a drive here is gluttony. Let us assume that someone is gluttonous. First of all, in Spiritual Satanism there is no fundamental shame, nor we expect people to be saints. We just do our best here to be in the most empowering route of harmony and balance.

One way to manage addictions or things like gluttony, is to turn these drives towards another direction. A person who is very gluttonous, if they combine this with excessive physical training, will get mass and power from this endeavor. If a person is addicted to learning [which I honestly can't call a "Drive"], but suffers financially, this emotional need can be turned into the direction where this might produce wealth or in a wealth generating field.

The case however when these drives can be made into a unified and working whole, is not always. Many people are gluttonous, and this gluttony is already leading someone to obesity, and one may not plan to exercise for example. Or one may be too obese and therefore they need to do very soft exercise first.

In this case, we do not get better by trying to bring up exercise to the level of gluttony, and the more one has gone towards the end of imbalance, the more these inner drives need to be restrained to return things to normal. One may need as it's obvious, to decrease this drive, upper another drive to exercise, and other drives need to keep this one in check.

These drives in the Ancient Schools were symbolized by animals. For example, bulls or oxen were normally used to symbolize these drives. Like bulls of oxen, these drives do not always listen to common sense. This is where a whip or a fence may be needed, to restrain these forces in, eventually training them to work for you rather than against you.

Like animals however, if these forces are not fed, they can break the stables and destroy your life. Alternatively, if you have spoiled these drives to no end, the oxen and the bulls might be so well fed, that they will literally take down your house to eat you and your family alive. Even worse, when these drives are fed and left out of control completely, they can kill a whole village. You ever seen what happens in Spain in case a Taurus escapes? People hide in their houses.

In the above example, sedation of specific urges might be needed to get past them and drive these animals back to the zoo. The animal is your drive, let us say boredom. In this case, you must strike it on the head by doing what you need to do regardless of its existence. That will be your whip.

Eventually as you whip boredom and laziness, you will notice that it attacks you back. That's where you must keep whipping it. Commonly, taking control of these drives can be as if one is in a war of sorts. And that is really a form of war against our own inner rebellious energies.

Now, just whipping let's say the boredom, is not going to do anything. What you need to do after you whip it, is bring this animal into a stable. The stable must be accustomed to its needs, and it must be taken care of. In a non-metaphor, to control this drive, you will need to provide for it a good goal, an environment in which it can work, something that is pleasing to it - let's say replacing the boredom in your life with an activity you find interesting.

If this is not done, then the drive will keep returning. In fact, most of our human drives on a lower level, are irrational like animals. In the same way, they have to be treated when they are on their coarse and lower state.

The way to control these on the lower state, is by repetition and self-control. Repetition here is very important, and was called in Ancient Greek schools as "Exis". This "Exis" means something you are already used in doing. It is the habitual repetitive practice. This is powerful enough to defeat all kinds of addictions, properly attenuate passions, and make control of animal drives.

Naturally the mind also works in the same way. The properly awakened mind, instead of being at the mercy of its own whims, becomes like an animal trainer and later on a charioteer. After the mind is awakened and controlled, it can gain the respect and loyalty of these drives, which will operate under the control of the liberated mind.

Then, the same horse or oxen that was razing your life and village, is actually going to become your best friend. They will carry your chariot or your farming equipment, while you will enjoy fruits out of their labor. In the same way, when emotional control is established, these drives that were once dangerous and these addictions that were once negative, will become your friends.
