Fuckin' 'ell, people. I gotta say everything twice?

[wolven7]

Okay, for serious and for true: Who, in Atlanta, wants some fucking pint glasses? I have eight of the motherfucking things (seriously, they fuck their own mothers, and other pint glasses' mothers, too): sturdy, thick pint glasses, not likely to easily chip or shatter, each one with an extra special attribute.

The first time you drink from it, One of these glasses will

. . .show you your heart's desire.

. . .make you rich beyond your wildest dreams, in precisely the way that you don't understand wealth.

. . .make the person you secretly love fall madly in love with your shadow.

. . .bring your worst enemy close at hand.

. . .show you the face of your truest commpatriot

. . .give you one night, free.

. . .take you to dinner with your personal hero.

. . .show you what you're made of.

There's only one problem: I don't know which does which. I just send the purposes to the objects, I don't say which goes where.

So. Here's the deal: I give you one of these extra special, super-awesome pint glasses and you give me.... Nothing. Not a damned thing. I want nothing from you, in return. if you feel the need to donate me something, I'll put it toward some kind of collective alcohol or enjoyment fund. Debauchery jar. Whatever. But I designate no price for these wonders and signs.

I only want to see you, happy.

Now. Who want's a pint glass?

July, you mean? Like, around my birthday-ish? Probably. I'll keep one aside for you.

[n3m3sis42.livejournal.com]

I wish my pint glasses did all that.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Well, one of them Could do one of these things...

I don't have the cash or materials to ship them, unfortunately. Plus, I'm almost certain they Would shatter on their way to you, and that would be a sad thing. The post office hates my fragiles.

Now, if you're going to be in town, again, any time soon, we could do a meet up, hang out, get you a couple of pint glasses. All kosher.

Mommy and I will take a couple if you need to get rid of them. We like glasses here.

if you can keep them for the next weenie roast - i'll take whatever is still on your hands.

and my roomate would like to know what satanists feel about karma - if it exists, what is good karma to a satanist? bad karma? is bad karma a good thing? what would be considered the negation of karma?

he is speaking, as a christian - in terms of good and bad. so please, for his feeble mind, use the same meanings.. *wink*

seriously tho, he's been to seminary school, and is pretty well learned in many religious ways - christian and not. as a philosopher, he'd like your opinion.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

So, I've got two left, unclaimed. If they remain so at that point, then sure.

Satanists, depending on the School (Anton LaVey, Luciferian, whathaveyou), would hold that Karma either A) does no exist, in the sense of good deeds getting you good things, but rather act as cause and effect, in the sense that doing something will cause something else to happen.

B) Karma does exist, but its existence is evidence of a flawed and partial god.

or C) It doesn't matter. Lucifer is, above all, Will incarnate, and only takes heed of consequences insofar as they impact his needs and desires.

All of these can be spun out, further, to talk about other implications, such as the fact that, in terms of cause and effect, if you know enough you can do good works in a certain way, such that good things will happen, as a result. Also that true knowledge and planning in regards to the will of the individual will cause you to do certain things, for them, such that they will do things for you.

Now, "Good Karma" as most people use the term isn't really a Hindu concept; Karma is just... Stuff That Happens. The actions of cause and effect. From a certain perspective, all Karma is bad, because it means you're still on the wheel of Life/Death/Rebirth. From another perspective, all Karma is good Karma, because it means you're still on the wheel of Life/Death/Rebirth.

That being said, Good Karma, to a Satanist of almost any variety, would best be defined as getting what you want. You do something, some act in the world, and what you hope for is that doing that thing means that you will, in turn, be more able to do the things you want to do, more easily.

That's about the best answer I can give, there.

The roomie - says "Thank you for your thoughtful response."

he got thoughtful after reading it, and never even considered point the C) until you opened his eyes to it.

With my limited understanding about satanism - I had thought it was always about the self (you), with a higher order of the self being lucifer and his...."bretheren" ? taking precidence... - hence why i asked someone who i figured would understand it at a much deeper level. - Rock On, and thanks for expanding my horizons as well.
