Today I Choose to Ascend by Stergalia Nocturna

Today I Choose to Ascend
Today I made a choice. A massive witch war is brewing – is already on – that promises nothing but destruction for all involved. One to which I very nearly succumbed because of my reactions… But today, I choose to rise above the hatred. The people involved, the ones to whom I reacted, are steeped in anger and hatred.
Hatred left unabated, becomes a cancer – emotionally, intellectually, physically, spiritually. It eats away at a person until there is nothing left, nothing but an empty shell of putrification. And hate breeds hate.
Today I stop feeding into the hate. Today I choose to ascend. Today I choose to rise above my reactions, emotions beliefs, rising above those things of which I thought I knew.
To ascend, to become, to Be…
Don’t get me wrong – I have trusted people that I should never have trusted, people that turned against me and those I love. People who claimed friendship but ended up turning against them and me, as these things happen during the course of our lives, to all of us.
I got caught up in the emotions of it all; I reacted.
I did not think, did not let it go; I reacted.
By reacting, I give haters exactly what they want – a reaction.
In reacting to their hate, I began hating. Had I left this hate unchecked, it is precisely what I would have become: Hate.
People hate. They lie, they malign others, they abuse and cover it up. It is their choice, no matter how destructive to others and to themselves, it is what they choose.
I choose otherwise, to rise, to ascend.
How can one that hates, heal?
If I am called to be a Healer, then a Healer I must be. I know my calling, I have known it my whole life, and even more so as a Luciferian. And it is this destiny that I must fulfill. If I allow myself to hate, then that is what I become.
Did I screw up?
You betcha.
But… I know that when I make mistakes, when I commit errors and own up to my responsibility, which is the crux of Luciferianism, then and only then do I learn and grow.
I am allowed to be human. I am allowed to make my mistakes and learn. I am allowed to grow. I am allowed to heal.
And so are all of you.
Instead, I choose to rise, to become a better person. Not better than others, but better than I was yesterday, an hour ago, a minute ago, a moment ago… To fulfill my Divine Purpose.
In rising above myself, in ascending, I rise above the situation, above the hatred, into the Darkness and the Light of Lucifer. For it is from the darkness that light emanates. And so it has been so from time immemorial.
Light comes from the Darkness.
Light bearers come from that Darkness, to bear the Light of Truth to the world, even as did Lucifer, and from the Darkness and Light of Lucifer, I choose to ascend.
Great article, we all allowed to make mistakes because that how we learned and become stronger. The way forward is to heal and move forward. Ave Lucifer
Beautifully stated. Your truthfulness will hopefully be a role model that others will follow. Ascension is the destination this path leads toward. I fear that some may have temporarily forgotten that. The “war” is so upsetting to me because all parties involved are wonderful individuals and leaders within their respective communities. Also, when people at such advanced levels of magickal power go at it, it can de deadly if restraint is not used. No one wants that!
To not be involved, I have quietly left some groups where private feelings have been taken public, and individuals began to take sides. No one wins when that happens. Thank you for being a leader. Your words do inspire me.
As we saw and you as an individual you take a side! And you left some groups where private feelings have been taken public but you support threats on public posts! Such a contradiction!!! Anyway, thank you for your comment.
Things begging to be destroyed can be done so out of mercy and compassion, even out of love, instead of anger and hatred. However, anger and hatred are valid emotions, too.
