Verse 1:
“Ἀθανάτους μέν πρῶτα θεούς, νόμωι ὡς διάκεινται, τίμα καί σέβου ὅρκον ἔπειθ' ἥρωας ἄγαυούς τους τέ καταχθονίους σέβε Δαίμονας, ἔννομα ῥέζων σούς τέ γονεῖς τίμα τούς τ' ἄγχιστ' ἐγγεγαῶτας. τῶν δ' ἄλλων ἀρετῆι ποιεῦ φίλον ὅστις ἄριστος.”

Translation by HPZM 666: “First and foremost you the Immortal Gods you should honor and respect, for you are existing inside the laws they have set and regulated and these are all encompassing, you ought too respect and honor the oaths that you have given. Next, you ought respect and revere the divine heroes and the cthonic Demons. You should also respect your parents and your close relatives, and always seek whomever is noble to be your friend.”

Commentary by HPZM 666

The first and primary cause of the universe, has borne out of itself the Immortal Gods, our Gods. The Gods are explicitly declared here to have shaped the laws of the universe, which we ought follow and respect. Honor, also includes what is broadly understood as both observance and deep understanding, but also a fulfillment of obligations towards the Great Gods who encompass creation.

The Great Gods who are Immortal are the first and highest level in this creation.

In Ancient Greek, the word ΔΙΑΚΕΙΝΤΑΙ means that both regulation has been instated, and also, that one is commanded in this regulation, but also simultaneously we have the implied notion that these laws are encompassing everything at all times, therefore, one has to banish the illusion that one is above said regulations, such as natural laws; we exist in these and we ought make peace with these, because these laws are precisely put there to help us empower and discover.

Our free will incumbent in refusal or acceptance, should always be put on the side of acceptance, as inside the word ΤΙΜΑ or “Honor” a word used in a commanding character and not containing in it the element of “being free to not do this”. The Pythagorean verse here says the Truth, as the laws of existence cannot be ignored – since they cannot be ignored, we are essentially commanded to respect these laws, as the belief that we had free will to do otherwise is only an illusion borne out of our false understanding or our false egotism. We also have the secret message that we can actually elevate into a higher and more “noble” state of being, as to give honor is actually a process of relating to the subject of this honor.

Without observance of these laws, humanity will be lost, as these laws has been created and they are regulations and forms that have to do with our well-being and security, but also our advancement.

These laws extend all the way from that we have to feed ourselves everyday, all the way to spiritual laws that we have to follow such as inner purification and increasing our understanding.

Depending on the level of observance of these laws, we rise and our negligence of these, causes our degradation and fall. That does not come as punishment, but as an outcome of our own choices. Hidden here is also the connotation that we must understand that what we can honor, we can eventually reach, because our attention is turned on this subject and topic. By honoring, we are coming in contact with the higher and the more spiritual and sublime, therefore, bringing ourselves into a state of union with this higher level, until we comprehend it more and more and become “It”.

We live encompassed in these laws by the Gods, who, mentioned as “immortals” are clearly not part of the “mortal” side of existence. The first and primary distinction here is that the Gods are immortal, therefore, living on a highest state of consciousness where lesser laws that we fall subject too during our ignorance, do not apply. We can falter, but they are beyond this state compared to us.

In the hierarchy of the universe, we have the Heroes, or the Ascended souls and Great Ones, but also the Chtonic Daemons who are the given the epithet Cthonic meaning those who reside on earth. Implied here are the Demons who govern the more natural side of the laws, the laws closer to our world. These are both deified and glorified beings, yet the Gods still stay above them in the hierarchical structure. All of these must be respected and brought into our mind and in our respect, so that the process of emulation begins and helps us rise too through the ranks.

Going downwards into the hierarchy and closer to where “we” are, we are told to honor our family, our ancestors, those who came before, our close relatives, relate us to the level where we are. We ought respect them, a respect that should go both ways. Inside the mindset of honoring one’s parents and ancestors, we also have the ruling Ancient Greek mindset that we are indeed parts of a long chain of life that goes all the way back to the Gods, themselves.

As human beings, we begin on the lowest level of the hierarchical structure of the universe, residing primarily in the first dimension of those who are mortals. On that dimension, to rise, one has to look upwards. Clearly, we are taught the hierarchical structure first and foremost, so that sense is knocked into us through this understanding, but also awe in how far higher we can reach ourselves.

As a human being advances, they are still under the laws of the mortals, which are sometimes called as “Mortal Gods”, ie, we are in an incomplete stage that must be overcome. These mortal Gods are heroes.

That state that we find ourselves into can be expanded and we can become stronger, and our ignorance can be overcome provided we turn our essence and our attention to the higher beings.

How is this done? Through a contact of our own self to the higher. Then, we have to walk on this process of this said honorable path that has been set in front of us.

Our Dedication is one such agreement for us to focus our understanding, our application, and our diligent efforts in rising above this level of existence. As with any agreement, we must uphold it, for we are the party in the agreement that needs this the most. As we honor this, we also honor the Gods, we uplift ourselves in their honor, deifying our own self.

Friends and people are mentioned since we form relations and bonds with others, which we should focus that they should be Noble, in the sense that, these beings can help us in this path. An example of this formation are the Temple of Zeus groups themselves, for through bonds of communication and even friendship, we all walk the path together forming relations within ourselves.

As we can understand, in contrast of nonsense of rampant individualism, we are told explicity here that our enlightenment won’t come from renunciation of other beings, but indeed, through proper unity with the proper ones.

Now, in that verse, why is the choice of words like this, and not another use of words, such as love?

It is the case that words chosen here are Honor and Respect, not “love” and other said words. Love cannot come immediately. It requires diligent effort and understanding. It arrives later, in time.

That is because on our primary state of existence, we have not yet formed a full understanding of love, or we have not formed a full understanding or knowledge of everything just yet. Love is understood later on, as we advance seriously and become partakers in the divine understanding of the Gods. That takes evolution and time.

For this reason, we are observers who are moving towards understanding and if we have respect, then that is enough for our primary steps.

Love and deeper understanding arrives in time, yet on the first and primary level, we have to use the understanding that we have to have respect and to honor as a first building block. We start from the first block, building ever upwards.

Good evening brother Cobra first of all thank you for all you do for us with the deep knowledge given through the pdf's. The texts of this second pdf also reflect the deep change and realization I have been going through lately. I would like to focus on some questions that arose from the first golden verse of Pythagoras. That the first prime cause created the Immortal Gods did this happen by chance due to some coincidences or through some primal design or for some other reason. Secondly, the Gods are Immortal from the beginning so what I had read from some older members that they were once mortal like us and then achieved immortality through Magnun Opus is not true, which I personally could not believe since I had studied the Ancient philosophers to a certain extent and knew about Immortals from the beginning. And finally man placed in the creation; did he exist in a preexisting, pietistic state and then Satan gave us the soul with the kundalini or did he create us with body and soul?
I apologize at the outset for any expressive errors since I am using the translator because my English is not so good

Thanks for the very interesting article. I would like to point out only one thing, maybe it was simply a transcription error, the Greek word for "honor" is TIMÈ ( τιμή /tīmê/ = honor ), TIMA does not exist as a word in Greek.

It exists.

In Greek and it's the commanding factor of the word ΤΙΜΗ (honor), which means "You should honor", or "You are commanded to honor", or simply "HONOR!" by pointing at an object. That's another form of the same word.

Your Name is Ancient Greek is broken into two elements, your username that is. It is broken in Dio (Zeus) and TIMA, ie, "you should honor Zeus". Diotima is the character from Plato's works and his teacher.

Not sure if that helped explain it, but yes, it exists.

#26

I didn't know this. I was sure of it because while studying ancient philosophy it is not the first time that I hear the word "timè" , but never heard "tima", I didn't know that Is just another form for the same word.Thank you for having "enlightened" me on this🤗

Articolo 4. I versi aurei pitagorici: Versetto 1

L'importanza dei Versetti Aurei risiede nel fatto che sono considerati la "Bibbia" dei Pitagorici, tra i più ferventi devoti.

Questi versi hanno guidato le priorità dei Pitagorici, che sono stati spiritualisti e mistici di altissimo livello.

Pitagora, il capo dei Pitagorici.

Traduzione di HPZM 666: “Prima di tutto, voi Dei Immortali dovete onorare e rispettare, poiché esistete all'interno delle leggi che essi hanno stabilito e regolato, e queste sono onnicomprensive; dovete anche rispettare e onorare i giuramenti che avete prestato. In secondo luogo, dovete rispettare e venerare gli eroi divini e i Demoni ctoni. Dovete anche rispettare i vostri genitori e i vostri parenti stretti, e cercare sempre di stringere amicizia con chiunque sia nobile.”

Commento di HPZM 666

La causa prima e primaria dell'universo ha generato da sé gli Dei Immortali, i nostri Dei. Qui si afferma esplicitamente che gli Dei hanno plasmato le leggi dell'universo, che noi dobbiamo seguire e rispettare. L'onore comprende anche ciò che è ampiamente inteso come osservanza e profonda comprensione, ma anche l'adempimento degli obblighi verso i Grandi Dei che abbracciano il creato.

I Grandi Dei, che sono Immortali, rappresentano il primo e più elevato livello di questa creazione.

In Ancient Greek, the word ΔΙΑΚΕΙΝΤΑΙ means that both regulation has been instated, and also, that one is commanded in this regulation, but also simultaneously we have the implied notion that these laws are encompassing everything at all times, therefore, one has to banish the illusion that one is above said regulations, such as natural laws; we exist in these and we ought make peace with these, because these laws are precisely put there to help us empower and discover.

Our free will incumbent in refusal or acceptance, should always be put on the side of acceptance, as inside the word ΤΙΜΑ or “Honor” a word used in a commanding character and not containing in it the element of “being free to not do this”. The Pythagorean verse here says the Truth, as the laws of existence cannot be ignored – since they cannot be ignored, we are essentially commanded to respect these laws, as the belief that we had free will to do otherwise is only an illusion borne out of our false understanding or our false egotism. We also have the secret message that we can actually elevate into a higher and more “noble” state of being, as to give honor is actually a process of relating to the subject of this honor.

Senza il rispetto di queste leggi, l'umanità andrà perduta, poiché esse sono state create e sono regolamenti e forme che riguardano il nostro benessere e la nostra sicurezza, ma anche il nostro progresso.

Queste leggi si estendono dal dovere di nutrirci ogni giorno, fino alle leggi spirituali che dobbiamo seguire, come la purificazione interiore e l'accrescimento della nostra comprensione.

A seconda del livello di osservanza di queste leggi, ci eleviamo, mentre la nostra negligenza nel rispettarle causa la nostra degradazione e caduta. Questo non è una punizione, ma la conseguenza delle nostre stesse scelte. È inoltre implicito che ciò che onoriamo, alla fine lo possiamo raggiungere, perché la nostra attenzione è rivolta a questo soggetto e a questo tema. Onorando, entriamo in contatto con il superiore, il più spirituale e il sublime, e quindi ci uniamo a questo livello superiore, fino a comprenderlo sempre di più e a diventarne parte integrante.

Viviamo immersi in queste leggi emanate dagli Dei, i quali, essendo definiti "immortali", non fanno chiaramente parte del lato "mortale" dell'esistenza. La prima e principale distinzione è che gli Dei sono immortali, e quindi vivono in uno stato di coscienza superiore, dove le leggi inferiori a cui siamo soggetti nella nostra ignoranza non si applicano. Noi possiamo vacillare, ma loro sono al di là di questo stato rispetto a noi.

Nella gerarchia dell'universo, troviamo gli Eroi, o Anime Ascese e Grandi Esseri, ma anche i Demoni Ctoni, a cui viene attribuito l'epiteto Ctonico, che significa "coloro che risiedono sulla Terra". Si intendono qui i Demoni che governano il lato più naturale delle leggi, le leggi più vicine al nostro mondo. Questi sono esseri divinizzati e glorificati, eppure gli Dei rimangono al di sopra di loro nella struttura gerarchica. Tutti loro devono essere rispettati e portati nella nostra mente e nel nostro rispetto, affinché inizi il processo di emulazione e ci aiuti a elevarci a nostra volta lungo i ranghi.

Scendendo nella gerarchia e avvicinandoci al livello in cui ci troviamo "noi", ci viene detto di onorare la nostra famiglia, i nostri antenati, coloro che ci hanno preceduto, i nostri parenti stretti, che ci collegano al livello in cui ci troviamo. Dovremmo rispettarli, un rispetto che dovrebbe essere reciproco. All'interno di questa mentalità di onorare i propri genitori e antenati, troviamo anche la mentalità dominante dell'antica Grecia, secondo la quale siamo effettivamente parte di una lunga catena della vita che risale fino agli dei stessi.

In quanto esseri umani, partiamo dal livello più basso della struttura gerarchica dell'universo, risiedendo principalmente nella prima dimensione, quella dei mortali. In quella dimensione, per elevarsi, bisogna guardare verso l'alto. Chiaramente, ci viene insegnata innanzitutto la struttura gerarchica, in modo che questa comprensione ci fonda un senso di consapevolezza e ci lasci anche un senso di meraviglia per quanto in alto possiamo spingerci.

Man mano che l'essere umano progredisce, rimane soggetto alle leggi dei mortali, a volte chiamato "Dei mortali", ovvero si trova in una fase incompleta che deve essere superata. Questi Dei mortali sono gli eroi.

Lo stato in cui ci troviamo può essere ampliato e possiamo diventare più forti, e la nostra ignoranza può essere superata a patto che rivolgiamo la nostra essenza e la nostra attenzione agli esseri superiori.

Come avviene tutto ciò? Attraverso un contatto tra il nostro io interiore e il divino. Dopodiché, dobbiamo percorrere questo cammino onorevole che ci è stato tracciato.

La nostra Dedizione è uno di questi accordi, un impegno a concentrare la nostra comprensione, la nostra applicazione ei nostri sforzi diligenti per elevarci al di sopra di questo livello di esistenza. Come per ogni accordo, dobbiamo rispettarlo, perché siamo noi la parte che ne ha più bisogno. Onorando questo impegno, onoriamo anche gli Dei, ci eleviamo in loro onore, divinizzando noi stessi.

Si parla di amici e persone perché instauriamo relazioni e legami con gli altri, e vogliamo concentrarci sul fatto che questi legami siano nobili, nel senso che queste persone possono aiutarci in questo cammino. Un esempio di questa formazione sono i gruppi di Temple of Zeus, perché attraverso legami di comunicazione e persino di amicizia, corriamo tutti insieme il cammino, creando relazioni dentro di noi.

Come possiamo comprendere, in contrasto con le assurdità di un individualismo sfrenato, qui ci viene esplicitamente detto che la nostra illuminazione non deriverà dalla rinuncia agli altri esseri, bensì giustamente dalla unità con quelli giusti.

Ora, in quel versetto, perché è stata scelta questa parola e non un altro uso delle parole, come ad esempio "amore"?

In questo caso, le parole scelte sono Onore e Rispetto, non "amore" e altre parole simili. L'amore non può nascere all'improvviso. Richiede impegno e comprensione. Arriva più tardi, col tempo.

Questo perché, nel nostro stato di esistenza primaria, non abbiamo ancora sviluppato una piena comprensione dell'amore, o non abbiamo ancora sviluppato una piena comprensione o conoscenza di ogni cosa. L'amore si comprende in seguito, man mano che progrediamo seriamente e diventiamo partecipi della comprensione divina degli Dei. Ciò richiede evoluzione e tempo.

Per questo motivo, siamo osservatori che si muovono verso la comprensione e, se abbiamo rispetto, allora questo è sufficiente per i nostri primi passi.

L'amore e una comprensione più profonda arrivano col tempo, ma al primo e primario livello, dobbiamo usare la consapevolezza che dobbiamo avere rispetto e onore come primo elemento costitutivo. Partiamo dal primo elemento, costruendo sempre più in alto.

Depending on the level of observance of these laws, we rise and our negligence of these, causes our degradation and fall. That does not come as punishment, but as an outcome of our own choices. Hidden here is also the connotation that we must understand that what we can honor, we can eventually reach, because our attention is turned on this subject and topic. By honoring, we are coming in contact with the higher and the more spiritual and sublime, therefore, bringing ourselves into a state of union with this higher level, until we comprehend it more and more and become “It”.

We live encompassed in these laws by the Gods, who, mentioned as “immortals” are clearly not part of the “mortal” side of existence.

Lo stato in cui ci troviamo può essere ampliato e possiamo diventare più forti, e la nostra ignoranza può essere superata a patto che rivolgiamo la nostra essenza e la nostra attenzione agli esseri superiori.

Come avviene tutto ciò? Attraverso un contatto tra il nostro io interiore e il divino. Dopodiché, dobbiamo percorrere questo cammino onorevole che ci è stato tracciato.

La nostra Dedizione è uno di questi accordi, un impegno a concentrare la nostra comprensione, la nostra applicazione e i nostri sforzi diligenti per elevarci al di sopra di questo livello di esistenza. Come per ogni accordo, dobbiamo rispettarlo, perché siamo noi la parte che ne ha più bisogno. Onorando questo impegno, onoriamo anche gli Dei, ci eleviamo in loro onore, divinizzando noi stessi.

Si parla di amici e persone perché instauriamo relazioni e legami con gli altri, e dovremmo concentrarci sul fatto che questi legami siano nobili, nel senso che queste persone possono aiutarci in questo cammino. Un esempio di questa formazione sono i gruppi di Temple of Zeus, perché attraverso legami di comunicazione e persino di amicizia, percorriamo tutti insieme il cammino, creando relazioni dentro di noi.

Come possiamo comprendere, in contrasto con le assurdità di un individualismo sfrenato, qui ci viene esplicitamente detto che la nostra illuminazione non deriverà dalla rinuncia agli altri esseri, bensì dalla giusta unità con quelli giusti.

Ora, in quel versetto, perché è stata scelta questa parola e non un altro uso delle parole, come ad esempio "amore"?

In questo caso, le parole scelte sono Onore e Rispetto, non "amore" e altre parole simili. L'amore non può nascere all'improvviso. Richiede impegno e comprensione. Arriva più tardi, col tempo.

Questo perché, nel nostro stato di esistenza primario, non abbiamo ancora sviluppato una piena comprensione dell'amore, o non abbiamo ancora sviluppato una piena comprensione o conoscenza di ogni cosa. L'amore si comprende in seguito, man mano che progrediamo seriamente e diventiamo partecipi della comprensione divina degli Dei. Ciò richiede evoluzione e tempo.

Per questo motivo, siamo osservatori che si muovono verso la comprensione e, se abbiamo rispetto, allora questo è sufficiente per i nostri primi passi.

L'amore e una comprensione più profonda arrivano col tempo, ma al primo e primario livello, dobbiamo usare la consapevolezza che dobbiamo avere rispetto e onore come primo elemento costitutivo. Partiamo dal primo elemento, costruendo sempre più in alto.
