The cause of pain is simple.
Really really, pain happens when the thoughts in your focus are out of accordance with the true you.
What does that mean?
It means that when you focus on and intend thoughts that are against your own self, you feel pain.
It is inevitable that a person will have thoughts against themselves in a world with others.
People have have preferences, so there are particulars about you that they won't like.
And, other people will lie, they will say things that you yourself know are not true.
But the lies of others do not cause pain.
Only you can cause pain.
Really, you, yourself, are sitting here, observing, watching what is happening. You're seeing thoughts in your head, words on this screen, and that's all you're really doing. You're watching life play out.
There's no pain in that you.
But, when you make a choice, a choice to agree with the opinion of someone else about yourself - an opinion that conflicts with your nature, then you experience pain.
Pain is really what happens when you lie to and betray your own self.
Lying truly is when you say something that does not agree with what you know deep down at your fundamental, immortal, indestructible core.
If you can search this out and find this to be true, you could find that you could see everything that is not true in this world.
Sometimes truth is paired up with a lie, and we drink the whole thing as one cup. We still feel pain, because there's poison in the cup.
And sometimes, drinking poison is good, because it helps you figure out what poison is.
And often times, early in our development, we drank in a big, big cup of truth as an ideology, mixed with just a tiny bit of poison.
And we planted that ideology down as deep in ourselves as we could plant it.
And now we wonder why we experience a seemingly existential pain for no reason -
Could it be that it's that little tiny bit of poison, right next to your heart?
If we were to suspend disbelief and consider if this could be true -
How in the hells would we figure this out?
It's simple. It's as simple as it gets. There's nothing wrong with simple.
When you take a statement deep into you, and it doesn't hurt, it's true.
If you say, "You are loved." it doesn't hurt.
If you say "I am loved." it doesn't hurt.
If you say "I am love." it doesn't hurt. Isn't that strange?
If we place these words at the very center of a circle, as we start to move away from the center of the circle, you are probably going to run into pain.
When you say true words, receive them in your body, your body will just soak them up, like they were supposed to be there.
When you try to take in words that don't fit on your body, your body will reject them.
And if you store words in your body that aren't true, you would get sick, and eventually, they would kill you.
The more untrue the words, the more quickly you would get sick.
For example, hatred, being at the near opposite of love, storing hatred in your body will kill you very quickly.
And it would be a painful death.
It is impossible to see someone above you.
It is difficult to see yourself.
It is easy to see someone who is where you have been.
And because of that, it is easy to see why someone who has chosen total resentment against humanity experiences such great pain.
On the surface, they have chosen to hate everyone for everything.
And most often, they choose a way of being that involves intentionally hurting others, often with righteous intentions.
This is essentially what an actual Satanist is - not to be confused with groups with varying intentions - is a person who intends harm to others.
And they most often believe that their ends justify their means, that what they are doing is in service to humanity.
So, their way is to cast spells and hexes on the evil others for their ignorance and stupidity.
Everything they are doing is coming from a place of pain.
And everything they are doing is retriggering and reinforcing that pain.
The source of their pain is truly simple.
Others told them what was not true about themselves.
This hurt them.
And then they tried to accept these untruths and integrated them into their way.
The other way we cause pain to ourselves is with self-definitions, but I'll save that for part two.
