Never assume someone is further along the path than yourself, It's been my experience that a spiritual path is all about personal growth. To assume someone else has a greater spirit can be a form of humility. But Even so, As My path is mine, Your path is yours Niveks Path is his. We all walk our own paths even if we call it all the same name or a different one There can be no better Nivek than Nivek, There can be no Better Rikki than Rikki, The spiritual path is within.what is Satan?
We do not recognize Satan or any other all-evil supernatural entity. Satan sprang from the Jewish faith from there the Christians and Muslims both adopted him.
Jehovah. or I AM stop think look deep into your own heart. I AM its deep within you. Jehovah is the simply all that is I AM.
Put aside for a moment all the illusions of this world.
go to a dark room where it is quiet. I preform all rituals and meditations skyclad but it is not required.
light a candle. hold a jade close to you. focus on your heart and the jade. Let the green energy fill you. focus on the energy hold it form it into a ball. Meditate until it turns gold. return the energy to you. once this is done the 4th chakra is opened.
And then meditate on the words I AM. Once you know who you are then you can know that indeed you are I AM.
Satan is not true but I AM and so are you. If you wake up to your true Sprit self. I have yet to do so. My daughter is just beginning. I suspect Nivek is further along this path then I am.
Hope this helps.
Blessed Be

My spiritual growth has been painful. I look into my past and now Am Able to see clearly so many faults and trespasses, It has left me as a person with a lot of remorse. in the end, to now see the faults of my past I am able to learn from them.20 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, 21 nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst
Chaplin’s take is the following from the film, “In the 17th chapter of Saint Luke it is written the Kingdom of God in within man, not one man, nor a group of men, but in all men, in you, you the people have the power!”
[The soul] leaves all surface appearances, not only those that can be grasped by the senses but also those which the mind itself seems to see, and it keeps on going deeper until by the operation of the spirit it penetrates the invisible and incomprehensible, and it is there that it sees God. The true vision and the true knowledge of what we seek consists precisely in not seeing, in an awareness that our goal transcends all knowledge. St Gregory
I entered into the innermost part of myself. . . . I entered and I saw with my soul’s eye (such as it was) an unchangeable light shining above this eye of my soul and above my mind. . . . He who knows truth knows that light, and he who knows that light knows eternity. Love knows it. O eternal truth and true love and beloved eternity! St Augustine
It is clear. God is within us. Will you not seek his or her face?
"The meditation of the mind won't save your soul." Perhaps but via meditation you can touch your soul the part of us that makes us sentient. And in doing so reach out and touch the face of God.

There are many ways and paths. We look for answers. Those answers are found within yourself.Rikki, it never ceases to amaze how similar that sincere truth-seekers are, even if the outward form is completely different. Ultimately we are all looking for the same thing; we just have different traditions, appearances, and understandings:
I AM.
this post outlines How I became High Priestess.My next answer
What is the difference Between a Priestess and a High Priestess?
High Priestess Heather departed this world on April 22nd 2013. After a period of mourning in our coven The coven all placed hands upon me they asked "Lead us." I endured a 12 hour fast in a Ho Chunk sweat lodge. then I went and sought solace. The Goddess came to me. I was called. I lead the next ritual.
I lead the coven I stand before the Goddess. But I am no greater then the rest of the coven. I serve I humble my self. It is I who must by my example lead.

I must show each. do well. Help others. Understand and apply the teachings of the Goddess in every way of my life. A priestess must do these things. But I must be an example.
I say this if Pope Frances walked as I do this would truly be a better world.
Blessed Be
