Temple of Zeus — The Assembly of the Gods

Losing Hope For the Future

As the days go by I'm getting less and less hopeful for the future of our planet. The enemy is gloating in our faces that we've been conquered. And we can't even call it out with being slandered or "demonized". I honestly don't see anyway for things to get better. The rising cost of living is getting out of hand, surveillance state setting up, all of our elected "leaders" are agents of Izfet who sell us out to line their own pockets. I'm even saddened by this place, the atrocities that have been going on for the last 2000 years are a no no to talk about now. Which on one hand I understand that is not the Temple's purpose but it is such a huge injustice and abomination to spirituality it is difficult to not think about it. I do not mean to come off as disrespectful, the knowledge here has completely changed the direction of my life. But that is not the case for 99% of the population. I work a very public job and I see people from all walks of life. I see abundant people, I see impoverished people, but above all I see people still worshiping the system that is enslaving them. The dissonance is really taking it's toll and I see from the younger generation they are losing hope too.

I am struggling to see the direction humanity is taking as anything positive because all the signs I am seeing is more enslavement. I don't think I'll ever "give up" and just accept where we are being taken. However I feel deep anguish and depression with little hope for what will become of the planet.

As you focus on yourself and the Gods, you get past the point of all those "sad" thing, in a sense. Humanity won't be better if we focus on politics and atrocities from the past. We are living now and building the future. What was done is done, no one here can change anything from it. But we can shape our own destiny. And the only way to do this, is to advance spiritually and towards the Gods.

Keep on track, we have already won and we are building the Temple on Earth.

For as long as anyone is reaching for Ma'at, there is hope. Please do not let yourself be discouraged; prevail. In many ways, times are extraordinarily good at the moment.

It was always this way. Fundamentally, it will almost always be this way. The general condition of everyone should not decide the condition of anyone here, however.

There's a reason an Ancient Orphic prayer states: "I am no longer a son of matter, I am a son of the starry heavens".

One has to part ways with this to some extent. One should help there, but not be this.

Do not let these drag your spirit down; these situations are only repetitive. Middle Ages, the list goes. Humanity has improved since, but it's going to take time. Don't let it drag you down.

Thank you for the reply. I see the wisdom you are conveying. It is hard to not feel sympathy for the "normies". I continually find myself feeling the plight of others and wanting to help in ways that I can. I let myself get into a bad depressive state. I apologize, I will try to be better for this place.

The world has come a long way, as others have said, so never lose hope.

I'm reminded of the myth of Pandora, which is referenced in the God Ritual to the Titans in the schedule we just completed, where hope remains as part of the gift from Zeus to those who will have it, despite everything.

It's for a reason that history remembers and preserves the names of the handful of personalitiesExternal ↗ who had hope, dedication and love for the mission of Ma'at and strived to preserve goodness at seemingly unconquerable odds. Anything is possible through the Gods, it is up to us few to never lose hope or take our gifts for granted.

Seems like you’ve fallen for the “black pill” scam.I’m optimistic for the future and can’t understand how others can’t be awell.If you let the algorithms designed by the enemy dictate how you see the world then you are doomed and are no more asleep then the average npc normie.

You are correct about the algorithms, but I am not naive enough to not read the room of the current state of affairs in the world. You misinterpreted my feelings, I am not worried about myself, I am worried about the world. My future is quite bright with many prospects and directions I could go. The direction as a collective whole is not so bright. HP made an analogy one time saying we are fighting the enemy for control of the boat, we can not stop the ship from crashing but we can determine where it crashes. And the gods put the wind in the sails to help us.
