My Struggles
My constant struggle is accountability, not knowing what I should do. Not even the energy or capacity are barriers. Merely the knowledge that nothing is permanent, and nothing is essential.
All things resolve, and the simplest state always is achieved, eventually.
Channel
This channel and website are my tools to hold myself accountable to my personal spiritual development.
Who I Am
I am a member of The Satanic Temple. I am an atheist. I am a father. And I am excited to challenge myself.
My Challenge
To start, I will commit to memorizing the Seven Satanic Tenets and the Nine Satanic Statements.
I will share my practice and reflections, and look forward to the journey ahead as I live for myself.
Closing Exhortation
Hail Satan.
