Fixing Suffering: How To Avoid It & Limits of Divine Action/Intervention

[Sungio13]

I'll be introspecting on all the possible ways I might be neglecting aspects within myself and my life that could be lacking or needing rectification.

I already know what certain responsibilities I need to take care of ASAP before they snowball into disparaging consequences.

Thank you again High Priest Hooded Cobra for sharing everything above.

 

[serpentwalker666]

This is all very true High Priest Hooded Cobra. We must stay the course and manage ourselves as mortals, and human beings have a habit of transgressions, just as Zeus states. I also want to mention something in regards to my own experience on the edge. I've been there too many times, either from my own hand of foolishness, or often the hard hand of fate I had to learn to manage in life.

Some years ago when I was struggling immensely with physical and mental disease. I reached my breaking point despite serious spiritual and material effort. I had enough, I could take no more.

In life, i have reached this many times over, but this was one of my lowest moments.

As I went out driving I fully and consciously decided to kill myself. I physically was flooring it and slowly veering the wheel to plummet into the ravine off the side of a mountain. My Guardian Daemon Ares appeared and said "What are you doing? Stop this!" and as i felt him angrily motioning and guiding the wheel, I managed to pull myself together and find a place to pull over and collect myself. He comforted me afterwards and assured me everything was going to be alright... but I cannot imagine how many times if human beings just made the proper series of decisions in life and a lot of the time how many issues could be avoided. I cannot fathom the patience the Gods have for this frail species.

Of course, this is an extreme case, and if we are being literal they shouldn't intervene in many of these cases because of natural law, but they were there for me, and I am forever grateful to Lord Zeus and our Eternal Gods. They truly want the best for us and are here for us always.

We must become wholly divine and make them proud.

Thank you High Priest Hooded Cobra!

The Path of Godhood is to take our personal powers into our own hands so we can become equipped with what we need to evolve. To become powerful and wise of our own.



“O Master Zeus,

Great Zeus,

You Are Master Of All Powers,

Teach Me Wisdom in Power,

And Power in Wisdom!”

Virtue Ζ - Power In Wisdom

 

[Shannon]

Thank you for this enlightening sermon. It enhances what I have been learning.

(Wise words, needed truths) -High Priest Hooded Cobra 666

I’ve been thinking about this subject a lot lately. It always blows my mind how sermons are so often relevant to issues we are dwelling on at the time they are posted. I know this will be lengthy. I just have to get it off my shoulders. I screwed up.

I ended my marriage of 12 years last week. I had readings from you Sir, as well as HPS Lydia and even HPS Maxine years ago. In all three it was mentioned that someone horrible for me was fated to come into / already be in my life, who would manipulate/damage me… and I knew it was her. But arrogantly thought I knew better and could change things. I later towards the end even started having SEVERAL dreams about things that were happening behind my back, or things that would happen the next day, detailed things, and they ALL were happening/came true. I don’t feel I am psychic in this way whatsoever. But I find it very likely that these were also warnings, maybe from my guardian Demon trying to warn me. Maybe not, I don’t know. But they all were so detailed and true. It just blows my mind I didn’t take them seriously.

I even later slacked off completely the meditating and most rituals, when things were “good,” and realize now how stupid I was (in multiple ways). I even split up with a very nice girl, to try again with ex wife. I realize only now how awful this has been on the children we have together, with me having them full time now. Depressing and infuriating, as an individual and father, thinking about over a decade of my life wasted and my kids traumatized and in therapy from the constant substance/police/drunken BS. And ALL of it was completely avoidable, had I heeded divine counsel when things were bad, and stayed close to the Gods when things were seemingly good. I didn’t listen to ANY of the signs. What could have been an easy breakup before marriage when it was just chronic alcoholism, instead became 12 years of a gigantic mess of emotions/traumatized kids/being cheated on several times.l and damage. It was all needless and embarrassing.

My focus now (aside from dropping this Karma with this person) is sticking to the Gods through “good” and bad, and reshaping myself into someone the Gods, my fellow Zevists and my children can be proud of.

 

[tandt]

Thank you High Priest, pure wisdom, as I was reading, I was meditating on this, thinking about this deeply. All I realised is sometimes we let things go too far untill it's difficult to deal with, I realized we have we have to be responsible

 

[Tethys333]

A sermon that opens the mind, like all the others.
Above all, we must always be responsible for our actions.
The Gods love us, they help us, but they are not our babysitters, and as much as they can save us every time, they also want us to grow spiritually and mentally.
Even when we think we can't do it, in the end, even if it takes a long time, we can still succeed.


May the Gods always be praised!
Thank you, High Priest HoodedCobra.

 

[Kouros Aionios]

I really liked this story with God Zeus & Sarpedon, it was very touching. This makes me want to read more Homer, there is so much amazing, enlightening wisdom in his works.

Thank you, High Priest!

 

[Lightning_Puma]

Thank you High Priest, this is a very important sermon everyone, including myself, should learn from and keep this lesson close to heart.

 

[Pan_Shaman]

Thank you for this information HPHC. Hope we all attain our power and continue strongly all the path

 

[Renita]

Once again, the perfect sermon for the perfect time. Thank you High Priest Hooded Cobra !

We must let go of the mindset that we can't control our fate and that it is all up to the Gods. We are not xians who require the delusion of safeness if they simply pray and do nothing.
Zevists act and don't let themselves drown in their own pity.

 

[NetemPtah]

I can feel every word of how the Gods are described.
I am able to see what I would have been without Them, and I recognise that were the Gods to put me on the right path to follow, as soon as it was possible for me in this lifetime.
I owe Them all the strength I have, all the capabilities I have, all the value I am acquiring as a human being, the enlightenment to the reasons dear to my soul for me to evolve.
The minimum a human being can do is to show gratitude by deciding to accept the path to understanding. The path to ignorance and weakness is the degradation of the natural human inclinations.
The generosity of Their directions, which are in the interest of one's evolution, is enough reason.

 

[SovereignPrince]

If the Gods and Goddesses give you intel you would be wise to take it. Ignoring or neglecting them and then begging them for a cure (solution) is foolish.

 

[Lucius Invictus [NG]]

It is revealing how catastrophic it was for Aphrodite to save Paris from Menelaus, in contrast to Zeus’s choice to let Sarpedon die.

However, Aphrodite also chose to save Aeneas from Diomedes, yet that choice proved necessary for the future of Rome. In other words, it may serve as an example that the intervention of the Gods, against poor fate, can happen for the best.

 

[soulisbrighter]

Well said High Priest. And something to think about in our everyday decisions. Fate is in our own hands really. Do we remain stupid, or become steadfast and embrace truth. The Gods are here, but to offer the initial guidance beforehand to reduce some matters.

 

[666-61]

Grazie Sommo Sscerdote Cobra Incappucciato666.

Voglio condividere con voi una mia Preghiera PADRE ZEUS che ho espresso questa mattina appena aperti gli occhi:
"PADRE ZEUS GUIDAMI SULLA STRADA GIUSTA".
Dopo alcune ore ho letto il Tuo sermone
Sommo Sacerdote666 eo ringraziato
PPADRE ZEUS PER AVER ASCOLTATA LA MIA PREGHIERA.

 

[Tandecee]

I read all 5 of those sermons and this one. It was like coming home from a philosophy class or something. It was very helpful, I will read them again later and I will definitely keep these lessons in mind for the rest of my life. Thank you.

 

[logicalmind]

I am more than grateful for this sermon. Which is why I would expect more parts about this topic. This would greatly help us in better understanding of how we are to interact with the Gods in the best ways possible for the Zevists. The fact clergy works so hard to give this knowledge shows not just how lucky we are, but also their boundless belief in each of us, individual Zevists. I will remember this throughout each of my life from this point.

 

[Daemontech [NG]]

Amazing sermon HP, thank you. It's very eye opening.

We're all wrong, there's no point in blaming you now... You've certainly learned your lesson. Also, if I understood correctly if you had broken off that relationship before, your children would not have been born, then something good has happened and remains with you.



From what you describe, both you and your children have suffered a lot, I'm sorry about that... but at least they are alive and they have you who are a Zevista and a person who knows how to take responsibility for two very rare things, which you should be proud of.
My advice is that whenever you feel responsible for what happened in the past, instead of overly blaming yourself for something from the past, turn this into a lesson for the present, taking care of yourself NOW because you definitely deserve it, (from which we describe how many times you have been neglected because of this person)

And take care of your children, which you're definitely doing and which you've always done.



It turns guilt into a sense of positive responsibility. You need to focus on the fact that regardless of the past, both you and your children deserve to be well now!

 

[laurentum]

Thank you High Priest!

Hail the Gods!

 

[kaelgr]

Thank you HPHC.

 

[EnkiUK56]

Brilliant and always inspiring my brother

 

[Ex-Translator]

Thank you, High Priest. I find the example of the car speeding at 250 MPH to be very effective, as it allows for Initiates to understand the importance of signs and advice given by the Gods.

 

[TAHARQA]

Thank you, Divine High Priest, Hooded Cobra. This sermon is a powerful reminder that our relationship with the Gods must be active, consistent, and responsible.
It really drives home that wisdom, preparation, and staying close to the Gods in both good and bad times are what allow Their help to unfold properly in our lives. May we all learn to read the signs earlier, correct ourselves sooner, and make the Gods proud through our actions and spiritual growth.

 

[Persephone [NG]]

Your infinite wisdom is always a source of important lessons and paths to follow. Growth never stops, and the more one is aware of this, the more strength and ability one has to move forward. Thank you, HPHC.

 

[SkeletonHands]

Thank you for the sermon High Priest Hooded Cobra!!!

Hail Zeus!
Hail Astarte!
Hail Saloes!
Hail Leraji!
Hail Felix!
Hail the Gaurdians/Gods/Goddess/Deamons/Deamoness!!!

 

[High Priestess Lydia]

I ended my marriage of 12 years last week. I had readings from you Sir, as well as HPS Lydia and even HPS Maxine years ago. In all three it was mentioned that someone horrible for me was fated to come into / already be in my life, who would manipulate/damage me… and I knew it was her.

I remember you. Do detaching meditation from her if you haven't already, perhaps bind her as well so she doesn't cause any problems in the future for you and your children. May you and your children heal and recover

 

[Menis Therian]

This is a very intriguing subject, because it is a never ending debate between risk taking and passiveness. Only Only wisdom can give give a good answer for this, especially if it comes from the Gods.

 

[tyrantmage]

Do we have a Zevist Brother/Sister who do astro readings currently?

 

[666-61]

GLI DEI SANNO CHI A BISOGNO DI AIUTO E CHI PUÒ FARCELA CON LE PROPRIE ENERGIE.
Questa è la mia esperienza in questo TEMPIO DI PADRE ZEUS.

 

[Rroco88]

Thank you so much High Priest for this very beautiful sermon!!
Time to start looking more into Illiad and Odyssey.

 

[Amethystos]

Very important sermon. It is better to heed advice and realize the mistakes one makes early on, than to suffer the consequences and regret when it is already too late.
