The Vader Within

August 21st Is Upon Us & A Spiritual Revolution Is About To Begin Because Of You


The Vader Within

We all have a dark side in fact it is in my opinion even the holiest have/had there moments of something not “Light” stirring within. It’s normal, we are only human. Many of you are familiar with the movie “Star Wars” and the character of Darth Vader and let’s face it, those of us that saw Vader in action thought it was pretty cool especially when he was able to choke someone just by looking at them. Looking back at my childhood, I remember wishing I was able to do so from time to time especially when the teacher decided to give a pop quiz.

We as a society are always looking down at the dark side, evil but in all fairness without it, we would not know what good was, if what we think of good is good and for all we know it, some of the good we do in life might be considered bad.

In Anton Szandor LaVey’s 1969 Satanic Bible, he mentions within the Nine Commandments, “Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all.” It is in my opinion there is a lot of truth in that particular commandment.

Also, if in Commandment Number 8 of the Satanic Bible where it states: “Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification” than many of us are going to Hell. Even Jesus Christ expressed his emotion through his anger when he was within the temple as he knocked over tables of those who were selling and gambling.

One point to this is that before any of us call someone a monster, before any of us decide to label someone based on there looks or belief, or choice of words, let us all remember that none of us are immune to our own dark side. Another point to be made is that sometimes embracing our dark side can lead to education we may have otherwise have tried to avoid. Finally, let us remember that all Holy Books of all faiths including the Christian as well as Satanic Bibles were all written by man, whom makes mistakes and in such books came to them, “Divine Intervention” from that which they decided to believe in. So if such men can be inspired by whom they choose to believe in, why can’t you? Why can’t you and I assist the world in looking at things differently?

In the case of the “Satanic Bible” what once was looked at as words of evil in some respect actually touch an honest nerve within the fabric of mankind for example mankind kills (War, Pesticides, Animal Life, Plant Life, Sea Life) mankind kills (Greed), mankind lusts (Porn), mankind Lies, mankind takes the lords name in vain( For me it is ok, I have reminded my creator that my name can be used in the same way, thank god for comedy), mankind steals, and the list goes on and on. The question I guess I should ask is how much of that pertains to your life?

In conclusion, we should not always suppress the Vader within for if we do, nine times out of ten (no pun intended) the Vader will come out whether we want it to or not. We all need to blow off a little steam, emotionally, physically, as well as spiritually and no I am not suggesting that anyone go out and kill someone or something but what I am suggesting is that should such desires ever come to the surface, face them head on, accept them as part of the general nature of things, ask for forgiveness if need be, then move on.

Blessed Be-
