Many Zevists do ask me every single day, about if they are doing enough, or what they should be doing. One sometimes looks at the very tiny steps they take each day, and they question if they are going somewhere with this in the path.

I will show you now, not by emotions and worries, but by actual numbers, why nothing of what you do is in vain, in the context of your evolution. Literally nothing is in vain. It doesn't matter how you feel about it. And where it eventually leads if you keep going steadfast in the path.

As money related financial values is something "everyone can understand", it's used merely as a setting example here. It could be any other example, but because by the end of this you will understand clearly "magnitude", it's used only as an example.

Hesiod, Works and Days, lines 361-362:

εἰ γάρ κεν καὶ σμικρὸν ἐπὶ σμικρῷ καταθεῖοκαὶ θαμὰ τοῦτ᾽ ἔρδοις, τάχα κεν μέγα καὶ τὸ γένοιτο.

"For if you should lay even a small thing upon a small thing, and do this often, soon even that would become great."

As I have kept repeating, one must simply keep going. I will illustrate to you both on the authority of Heraclitus and by mathematical law, father of Math, how these things work. Math is where you go, to explain things, despite of emotional arguments. And yes, this is how it works in Zevism also.

We are going to take a hypothetical scenario here. Of course, the below is not about money, but about numbers. It's just a hypothetical scenario so the magnitude of what is explained and the point is understood clearly.

Let's say you do your meditations every single day.

You do not even become 1% stronger everyday; so you complain about it and you feel like you are doing nothing. But it would be safe to say that if you continue meditating daily, let's assume, that you add 0.25% per day to your power. Less than one percent. Days pass when you start, you are in the loop, awakening a soul that was totally de-activated. You do it regardless.

Now, to assume this mathematically, let's assume the power you have when you begin is totally minimal; we will put this as the equivalent in 100 dollars. These 100 dollars is the borderline "nothing" power that you have to begin with (totally normal when you start all these things; the soul was dormant).

We will put a timeframe of 15 years of unceasing, daily practice, that increases your power by just 0.25% daily.

Yes, that 0.25% that you doubt, that you think is no progression and that you see sometimes nothing of, when you meditate. But let's expand it over to 15 years.

The same compound growth mechanism that exists in numbers, exists in many things in life, including also spiritual power. You won't notice any results in the beginning but they will be there. As you keep pushing, these will start adding up.

$100 compounded at 0.25% daily for 20 years would grow to roughly $7.5 million, meaning the capital increased by about 75,000× from the starting amount.

Now, here is the impressive part. On the first year, you would go in this, from just 100$ to 249$. This is where many people quit. They are like "Zevism is great, I know this" but they fall off the path. They allow doubt to hold in, they undermine their efforts, or they are not consistent.

This is why also in your first year in Zevism, yes, you grow a lot; you could be double powerful by the end of the year, but many people don't notice that. By the third year, the 100$ will just be 1540$. One might have improved ten times or more since that time, but they don't notice it - they say "Maybe it should be way more; do you see this other person" - But at the same time, not everyone starts from the same place. The place where we start, also factors in our general soul condition and past lives.

Temporary emotions cloud judgement, one is hard at themselves. But the person who doesn't care about this and stays strong on the course and loyal to it, moves forward regardless.

You do NOT give up. You continue. Yes you keep meditating even in this day where the sky appears to have fallen on your head, on this hard day. You keep the grind when you are low, when you are good, when you are not. You KEEP GOING.

Then we move forward to the 6th year. By the 6th year, if you are consistent with your practices, you are actually... 23 times more powerful than when you initially began. Extending further to year 10, the 100$ mere number of spiritual power, is the equivalent of 906,000$. This as you can see in these figures, is where the progression starts to be noticeable and undeniable.

Even to yourself, if you stick for 6 consecutive years in growth in Zevism, you cannot lie to yourself no longer that you did not grow as a person. This is where serious conviction will start consolidating.

And here is when it starts to get very interesting: After the decade from the fifth year.... Because by the 15 years, the equivalent of power, can be as much as 86,300,000$ in numbers, starting from just 100$.

Conclusion: The difference between your first 3 years on full devotion, and your 15th year of full devotion, are astronomically on another level. Provided however, you grow everyday and you make it a point, to do this without fail.

Now the above are mathematics just to show you a point: It doesn't matter what you see daily, what matters is your persistence, to set a very long timeframe, and to expand your knowledge and understanding every passing day of your life. This is how this path unlocks. Never underestimate your efforts. The same efforts that you now brand as "useless" and "too small" are the mothers and fathers of your next efforts that down the line, will make where you started appear surreal as to where you are now.

Respect your efforts, keep them daily, and never falter. This is how you unlock the Path of Zevism and your powers.

Thanks for this brilliant sermon HP Zevios!

like we say in Italy: Rome wasn't built in a day

upon searching, it was coniated by a English man in XVI century, but nevertheless it's true

"Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day, But They Were Laying Bricks Every Hour"

It comes from John Heywood's A Dialogue Conteinyng the Nomber in Effect of all the Prouerbes in the Englishe Tongue (c. 1538)

Also i found this very relatable, looking back at my past... nothing i did even talking without stuttering or correcting words, came out in a few days of efforts.
 
But if the spiritual force goes bankrupt in a few decades, then the people who have put in the effort will become beggars? Is it possible to determine the price today and the trends of rotation and decline? I have some spiritual force savings, and I would like to increase my capital in unconventional ways, such as creating a magic item and imbuing it with power, and then selling it and getting something else
 
There are times when it feels as though everything has come to a standstill, as though every effort vanishes into thin air… but that is precisely where strength is born. One step at a time, even when it feels heavy, even when you can’t see anything. Because it is that perseverance that, day after day, transforms a small step into a long journey.

Thank you for reminding this to us, High Priest ⚡🤍

This is not about this material thing called money. This is about the soul. Re-read my message.
 
Just now, I was re-reading Communication with Your Guardian Daemons & The Gods, and this part caught my attention specifically:

"After you pose a question to your Guardian Demon, you might notice that information or answers appear through other people, or they come crossing your path, virtually in “coincidental ways”.

And nowadays, whatever I do, I feel like I am not good enough and I am behind(There is no race anyway). I think this sermon is a message for me from my GD.
Thank you, High Priest Zevios Metathronos!
 
Thank You High Priest!!!

These are long term investments.

Зато такође у вашој првој години у Зевизму, да, много растете; могли бисте бити двоструко моћнији до краја године, али многи људи то не примећују. До треће године, 100 долара ће бити само 1540 долара. Неко је можда напредовао десет пута или више од тада, али то не примећује - каже „Можда би требало да буде много више; да ли видите ову другу особу“ - Али истовремено, не почињу сви са истог места. Место где почињемо такође утиче на наше опште стање душе и прошле животе.

Привремене емоције замагљују расуђивање, човек је строг према себи. Али особа која се не обазире на то и остаје чврста на путу и лојална му, иде напред без обзира на све.

НЕ одустајеш. Настављаш. Да, настављаш да медитираш чак и овог дана када изгледа као да ти се небо срушило на главу, овог тешког дана. Настављаш да се трудиш када си лоше, када си добар, када ниси. НАСТАВЉАШ ДА ИДЕШ.

Затим прелазимо на 6. годину. До 6. године, ако сте доследни у својим праксама, заправо сте... 23 пута моћнији него када сте првобитно почели. Ако се продужи даље до 10. године, пуки број духовне моћи од 100 долара је еквивалент 906.000 долара. Овде, као што можете видети на овим бројкама, напредак почиње да буде приметан и неоспоран.

Чак и себи, ако шест година заредом растете у зевизму, више не можете лагати себе да нисте расли као особа. Ту ће озбиљно уверење почети да се учвршћује.

И ево тренутка када почиње да постаје веома занимљиво: После деценије од пете године... Јер до 15 година, еквивалент снаге може бити чак 86.300.000 долара у бројкама, почевши од само 100 долара.

Закључак: Разлика између ваше прве 3 године пуне преданости и ваше 15. године пуне преданости је астрономски на другом нивоу. Међутим, под условом да растете сваког дана и да се потрудите да то радите без грешке.

Горе наведено је математика само да вам покажем поенту: Није битно шта видите свакодневно, битна је ваша упорност, да поставите веома дуг временски оквир и да проширујете своје знање и разумевање сваког дана свог живота. Тако се овај пут откључава. Никада не потцењујте своје напоре. Исти напори које сада називате „бескорисним“ и „премаленим“ су мајке и очеви ваших следећих напора који ће касније учинити да место где сте почели изгледа нестварно у односу на то где сте сада.

Поштујте своје напоре, негујте их свакодневно и никада не посустајте. Тако откључавате Пут Зевизма и своје моћи.

Thank you so much High Priest.
Before returning to Ithaca, Ulysses undertook a long journey; without that journey, his return would never have happened.
Without meditation, determination, rituals, and faith, Ithaca will never be within reach.
 
Thank you High Priest for the beautiful words!

Besides having a self-defeating mindset, another reason that new Zevists quit or stop meditating is because they keep comparing themselves with others. If you are new and thinking that you're not having any progress, keep it up! Don't ever give up on the path of Zevism! We are all supposed to be winners in here! You're already the lucky one on Earth to have the opportunity to get closer to the Gods. Like in real life, each one of us has different aptitudes, and difficulties. Some Zevists have a easier time to see through their 3rd eye, others can handle a lot of energy at the start, others already had revealing dreams before joining. Each one of us has a different background, sometimes one can also inherit abilities passed down through the family, there are many factors to consider.

One thing that can be done when you think that you're not doing that much, or isn't advanced enough, is to see everything that you've done over the time. That's why it is interesting to have a journal, or somewhere to write down the meditations done, the workings, the rituals that you participated. That way you can notice that "wow, I did so many things! I can't believe I've been doing this for so many time!".

What can happen also is when we don't notice what we're doing, thinking that your progress is going 0% (that is why awareness is important...).

I used to think that I wasn't doing that much too, that maybe I should increase all that I was doing. Then I saw some members talking about burnouts (due to overdoing), and I've realized that not always we need to do so much to accomplish a bigger result. You can notice that the meditations that we do look like a checklist, with different things to do over the day. When you want to increase something, don't go out switching everything immediately 🤡 (I did a mistake like that before :oops:. There I was, having to recheck everything that I was doing, one by one to see which one that wasn't right, losing progress of what I was doing right and suddenly stopped, the Gods trying to communicate with me, and I couldn't understand very well...plenty of facepalms 😓).

Change one thing of the checklist at a time. When a couple of days (or weeks) has passed, see if anything has changed. A new Yoga pose, a healthier intake of food, or even more awareness practicing can give big results. If you changed one thing (like increased too many reps for cleaning, or stopped doing a certain meditation) and you started feeling tired afterwards, maybe that change wasn't a good idea.

About my self-limitations, for example, I thought that normally everyone was handling easily 10x each rune for the Gods Rituals (I usually do 10x too). Then I saw some members saying that they couldn't do 10x because they couldn't handle that amount of energy, that they were doing 1x or 3x each rune. I remembered how powerful it was doing my first Sun Square. For newbies, It isn't advised to do more than one square at the same time. As time passed, it got easier to do 2 or 3 different planetary squares at once. As you keep doing workings, Rituals, and meditations, maybe you don't even notice how much you've progressed.

There are other "minor" changes that can take place when you least expect it: sweets start to taste way too sweet, cheap junk food upsets your stomach, songs that you used to hear don't make any sense (like why these lyrics have so many angry words, I'm not mad at the world anymore, old remnants of a teenage phase lol), a sudden change of fashion (I started to wear more skirts and dresses, like out of nowhere I started to prefer them).

I didn't do any specific working to change style, stop listening to a certain metal band, or lower my sugar intake. Other workings, like increasing health with a Sun Square, might had something to do with it, and I didn't notice immediately the results. Maybe you're doing the meditations, the workings, and expecting the outcome to be one thing, but it was another, related to it somehow.
 
Heh, a pretty good numerical example. In my experience, the rate of growth does not stay static, however. It can go up and down. It can go up especially strongly with the material from the Hall of Osiris. And generally, the more intensely one practices, even without HoO material, the rate can go up to an extent. It's just that with those materials the rate skyrockets, believe it or not. And it can go the other way as well, during periods of low activity or no activity at all. The most important part is perseverance, because a constant rate, whatever the rate is, is where the champions are made.

Yes, that 0.25% that you doubt, that you think is no progression and that you see sometimes nothing of, when you meditate. But let's expand it over to 15 years.

The same compound growth mechanism that exists in numbers, exists in many things in life, including also spiritual power. You won't notice any results in the beginning but they will be there. As you keep pushing, these will start adding up.



Now, here is the impressive part. On the first year, you would go in this, from just 100$ to 249$. This is where many people quit. They are like "Zevism is great, I know this" but they fall off the path. They allow doubt to hold in, they undermine their efforts, or they are not consistent.

Ecco perché anche nel primo anno di Zevismo, sì, si cresce molto; si potrebbe raddoppiare la propria potenza entro la fine dell'anno, ma molti non se ne accorgono. Entro il terzo anno, i 100$ saranno solo 1540$. Si potrebbe essere migliorati dieci volte o più da allora, ma non lo si nota: si dice "Forse dovrebbe essere molto di più; hai visto quest'altra persona?". Ma allo stesso tempo, non tutti partono dallo stesso punto. Il punto di partenza dipende anche dalla condizione generale della nostra anima e dalle vite passate.

Le emozioni passeggere offuscano il giudizio, portando a essere troppo severi con se stessi. Ma chi non se ne cura e rimane saldo e fedele al proprio obiettivo, va avanti a prescindere.

Non ti arrendi. Continui. Sì, continui a meditare anche in questo giorno in cui sembra che il cielo ti sia crollato addosso, in questo giorno difficile. Continui a impegnarti quando sei giù, quando stai bene, quando non stai bene. CONTINUI AD ANDARE AVANTI.

Passiamo quindi al sesto anno. Entro il sesto anno, se mantenete la costanza nelle vostre pratiche, sarete effettivamente... 23 volte più potenti di quando avete iniziato. Estendendo ulteriormente fino al decimo anno, i 100 dollari di potere spirituale equivalgono a 906.000 dollari. Come potete vedere da queste cifre, è qui che la progressione inizia a essere evidente e innegabile.

Anche a te stesso, se perseveri nel percorso di crescita nello Zevismo per 6 anni consecutivi, non potrai più mentire a te stesso dicendo di non essere cresciuto come persona. È qui che inizierà a consolidarsi una convinzione profonda.

Ed è qui che la cosa comincia a farsi davvero interessante: dopo il decennio del quinto anno... Perché in 15 anni, l'equivalente del potere può arrivare a ben 86.300.000 dollari in cifre, partendo da soli 100 dollari.

In conclusione: la differenza tra i primi 3 anni di dedizione totale e il quindicesimo anno di dedizione totale è astronomicamente diversa. A patto, tuttavia, che tu cresca ogni giorno e ti impegni a farlo senza mai venir meno.

Quanto detto sopra è pura matematica, serve solo a illustrare un concetto: non importa cosa vedi ogni giorno, ciò che conta è la tua perseveranza, la capacità di fissare un orizzonte temporale molto lungo e di ampliare le tue conoscenze e la tua comprensione ogni giorno che passa. È così che si apre questa strada. Non sottovalutare mai i tuoi sforzi. Gli stessi sforzi che ora consideri "inutili" e "insufficienti" sono i genitori e gli artefici dei tuoi prossimi sforzi che, col tempo, faranno sembrare surreale il punto di partenza rispetto a dove sei arrivato ora.

Rispetta i tuoi sforzi, mantienili quotidianamente e non vacillare mai. È così che sbloccherai il Sentiero dello Zevismo e i tuoi poteri.

That's so true, many people don't believe in themselves and think their efforts are insignificant. Then, after a few years, they notice they're still in the exact same spot, and either regret not having starting sooner, or, if they still lack confidence, start wondering if anything would have changed if they had.

Please brother, i understand you need to translate those sermons in Italian to read those, but conversely the majority of the forum members has to translate into English or their native language your posts.


Please write in English ☺️
