It really is funny how things turn out, one could say even that:
“God is powered by irony.”
I have recently been working on my own horror story set within the Lovecraftian Mythos. Through research and writing of this I stumbled upon a Call of Cthluhu roleplaying rule book:
Part of this book explains the idea of Buddhism within a Mythos setting. In my percieved vanity and folly I had recommended a Buddhist re-evaluation of (self) perception to a loved one not realising that in the 12 years since my first reading up on this philosophy I might need to re-evaluate my path within the framework of Buddha’s words.
That is not to say I am no longer a Satanist, for I was born one and will always remain one. Also where I to renounce magic I would lose everything I have gained, and that is a cost that I will never pay. So I owe it if not only to myself, if not the Left Hand Path itself then really to everyone who I connect with on whatever level and in whatever manner to listen to one history’s greatest Atheists to achieve a greater sense of carnal contentment, intellectual craft and mental indominance, in short greater:
Words are not enough to express the radical brain changes that occur when one reads even the shortest of studys or sutras it has only been a day or two since I vowed to re-evaluate my life, and already I can sense the changes.
One being that the chapter on Buddhism within my piece on Satanic Yoga will probably expand itself into another work.
*laughs*
Starting a new book while still working on another. I guess some parts of me will never be changed.
“Thus it makes sense to say that we have skilful and unskilful thoughts, we speak skilful and unskilful words, and we act either in a skilful or in an unskilful way.
The Buddhist Precepts and the Ten Perfections give concrete meaning to good and bad and explain skilful and unskilful volitional acts in detail.”- Good and bad vs. skilful and unskilful.
