Episode 5: Perspective

In this episode we address a lot of questions listeners have had about the podcast.

An evolving perspective is important to spiritual growth, even when it's a bitch to obtain.  And that sound really is the squeaky leather chair.  

Here are the links to some things I talk about in this episode.  If I missed any, please let me know.  

Excerpt from the Why Satanism page:

"Satanism as the Eclectic Philosophical Movement:

Satanic concepts have been embodied in a variety of works by famous authors, including Milton, Mencken, Maugham, Twain, Bentham, Hobbes, Nietzsche, Crowley, Rand, P.T. Barnum, Anatole France, Michelet, and Hearst, along with others. These Satanists tend to be a fairly small variety, and although many Satanists agree with the concept of this, there's a distinction. Eclectic Philosophical Satanists tend to not have any unifying thread, or that is to say that no Church of the Eclectic Philosophical Satanists exists. Most shun becoming affiliated with any one particular org or group."

Excerpt from the above article link:

"...many people try to live a monogamous lifestyle and find it just does not meet their needs. They come to believe that it is unrealistic to expect any one person to fulfill all their needs for intimacy, companionship, love, and sex, for the rest of their lives."  -  Kathy Labriola, Counselor/Nurse

The wikipedia page lists a lot of the terms for different forms of non-monogamy.

"The mission of The Satanic Temple is to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people. In addition, we embrace practical common sense and justice.

As an organized religion, we feel it is our function to actively provide outreach, to lead by example, and to participate in public affairs wheresoever the issues might benefit from rational, Satanic insights. As Satanists, we all should be guided by our consciences to undertake noble pursuits guided by our individual wills. We believe that this is the hope of all mankind and the highest aspiration of humanity." - The Satanic Temple
