Zevism is about self empowerment and independence. We follow the higher beings as our leaders because they have been before us, evolved and have a higher understanding that can guide us.
Why then would we have to do rituals empowering them while we need to be empowered? I yet still evolving needs more empowering rituals than the higher being Baal. Why do i need to do a ritual empowering him? He is already way powerful.. My energy will do so little.
Shouldn't we focus these rituals on ourselves and empower ourselves.
You already answered your question within the first part of your message, when you say how the Gods can guide us. If we want to them to help us better, as well as better influence our world, then we need to help them do so.
They do not have infinite energy, especially not within Earth. Yet we are here and can directly influence the spiritual situation in their favor. We can amplify the power of the Gods within Earth and benefit from their blessings.
Similar to the Ritual's, these rituals also connect the Gods to us, which does empower our soul as well. There is a high degree of mutual benefit from these rituals, so you should definitely do them.
Imagine being completely blocked off from your leaders who have the solutions to your problems. It would definitely be in your favor to do everything you can to get them close to you.
Lastly, we have to do things for ourselves, that is why we cannot just have the Gods do everything for us, regardless of the context. The Gods cannot be the only ones trying to establish a presence on earth; this must be a group effort.
