A #Satanist does not tolerate authoritarian control. They stay grounded, set firm limits, & refuse to be coerced. Challenge ideas with reason where useful, but avoid pointless conflict. Protect autonomy, align with those who value freedom, & act with discipline. Strength is not submission, but clear, controlled resistance.

Thinking for yourself begins when you notice how much of what you call your views was handed to you. Family, #culture, media, and habit all leave marks. None of this is wrong, but it is often unexamined.

a new space is evolving between us
it swallows our history, pushing it into a dark place
that padlocks us in a new reality we don’t need

a new space has evolved in our old time,
the cracks in our reality have been widened,
now there are just thoughts and memories

A quotation from Adlai Stevenson

And the freedom of the mind, my friends, has served America well. The vigor of our political life, our capacity for change, our cultural, scientific, and industrial achievements, all derive from free inquiry, from the free mind — from the imagination, resourcefulness, and daring of men who are not afraid of new ideas. Most all of us favor free enterprise for business. Let us also favor free enterprise for the mind. For, in the last analysis, we would fight to the death to protect it.

Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965) American diplomat, statesman
Speech (1952-08-27), “The Nature of Patriotism,” American Legion Convention, Madison Square Garden, New York City

WIST Quotations

#FreeSpeech
without #FreeThought
is a miserable and pathetic act.

For as you wave your arms
and kick your legs
while spewing your speech,
I see the strings
holding your hands,
feet, tongue & mind.

I see not the human,
merely a pet,
that's been trained
and neutered.

A quotation from William Drummond

He, who will not reason, is a bigot; he, who cannot, is a fool; and he, who dares not, is a slave.

William Drummond of Logie-Almond (1770-1828) Scottish classical scholar, philosopher, diplomat, politician
Academical Questions, Preface (1805)
