In Spiritual Satanism it is a virtue to be honest. Being honest might not always be easy and requires a lot of inner work.
The more honest one is with themselves and the Gods, the faster will be one’s progress.
As the Gods know humanity in and out, to try to act in deception towards them is foolish and unnecessary. We are only deceiving ourselves. It is we that suffer from our own lies the most. Many times, we lie to ourselves to hide ourselves, from ourselves.
External honesty, will strongly be related to internal honesty.
Lifting the veils of lies, illusion and falsehood is correlated with honesty. As an external virtue from ourselves, honesty is related to the Truth, formation of healthy human and social bonds, therefore, a better state of life than piling up on dishonesty.
Cursed will be the liar in the eyes of other people, as nobody likes liars. The real important aim for this, is honesty towards where the honesty be directed. For we know nobody likes liars, but there are also many in the world, who do not like those who say the Truth either.
In Spiritual Satanism, among our own, integrity and honesty is the connecting link between ourselves and the Gods.
Closer will be the honest man to pierce the veil of lies about themselves; the less the will to lie about and to one’s self, the more the will to lie to ourselves and others will reduce.
“Azazel, Lord of Justice,
Teach me how to be honest,
For I must be first and foremost honest with myself,
So much that, deception flees away from me,
Away from those that partake in the Great path of the Gods!”
