Most people can't afford the prices of the higher tier rituals, unless they're willing to put a lot of if not most of what they have into buying some of these rituals as they may feel they need them. It almost feels like gatekeeping, requiring people to be rich to advance spiritually, when a lot if not most people, even in the West but especially outside of it, are struggling financially right now.
The average person who's also fiscally responsible isn't going to buy these. It's almost predatory to make the top purification rituals that expensive while promising they'll essentially end all your problems. Anyone with problems that serious will probably not be able to afford these in their lifetime, or they may spend most if not all they have to get these rituals. I won't go into details obviously, anyone on HOO who's donated can see those for themselves.
Does it really cost that much to maintain a few websites, especially after most got dropped after the new update, and none of the staff are being paid anyway, besides HPZM of course, I could be wrong about this though.
Just wanted to speak out how I felt about the pricing. I'm going to go hustler mode anyway, just to get rich in general but also to afford some of these rituals as I really want them, but the prices aren't pleasant to say the least. On the brighter side it may encourage a lot of Zevists to become hustlers so they can get those rituals, but the odds are most Zevists probably won't do that, and the rituals that'd get rid of all the karmic shit holding them back to help them do that are too expensive for them, which goes back to the gatekeeping point I raised earlier.
Most people have always financially struggled. There are ways around this, it is a labor. Outside of the western world, yes, things are tough, within the western world there is practically little excuse. Even in the third world, provided someone is not on the lowest tier of starvation-necessity and has some access to the net, there are actually innumerable ways to help the Temple on a daily basis that do not involve being a millionaire, even little things and intellectual or social contributions. Eyes are closed.
In Europe, Canada, Australia-NZ, Japan, Korea, the wealthy Khaleeji states and the USA, 'working-class' people drop money on things like Tier 2 and so on like nothing, Tier 4 they buy practically every year if working. I have seen himboids and bimbos of not exactly high means working at McDonalds drop money on going to Mauritius, Maldives, Tahiti or Santorini to take photos for the gram, or blow it on a nose job, or veneers. The level of credit card debt shows people are not exactly shy about spending on anything. I have seen kids be conned into going to university with a not exactly stellar degree and paying 40k, even 100k with a huge amount of debt, which is not even excusable beyond training to be a doctor or something of extreme karmic importance.
This attitude of everyone in the West is so poor, and everyone is struggling, and everyone eats gruel and pieces of sawdust-laden bread like a Dickensian tragedy is not reality, sorry. The reality actually is that people are so overnourished and spoiled that some demographics are 80 percent overweight and obese. That does not HAPPEN in a society of want.
Not attacking people for flashing cash here; sometimes you need to spend money on what you like and the pursuit of the things you want is a big part of becoming a developing personality able to make money in the first place. The priorities though are askew to say the least, and most of this lack of priority is because of izfet blinding people to a real purpose, nothing more.
It makes me wonder about how Ancient Egypt had access to these advanced rituals and yet it fell anyway. The priests, pharaohs and aristocrats more than likely gatekeeped those rituals while the masses fell prey to Izeft over time with no real spiritual weapons to fight back besides the basic stuff, which clearly weren't enough.
I'm sure many priests and pharaohs ascended and became Daemons and even Gods, but Ancient Egypt is gone now, perhaps it may have remained if those purification and anti-Izfet rituals were available to everyone, not for free, but at least decently accesible to the average Egyptian.
I definently do not want to see history repeating itself in this regard. With HOO it could be accessible I guess even for those struggle if they saved up for years/months, depending on how their situation is. Maybe I'm being over-dramatic about it, but it's just a thought that came to me and I wanted to express the possible similarity that I see here.
Well, just like the Santorini types, the majority of people even in Egypt had no interest in these types of things or were too immature to understand them. Egypt also survived in the middle of a desert situated entirely on a river for 3,500+ years (conservative estimate).
Most of these super powerful Pharaohs attempted to spread religion and soul advancement to as many people as possible. The fact future generations and weaker individuals forgot these lessons to focus on trivial matters and some invented malcontents from a ditch is not their fault.
