Workings #80779 Working to breakup with my girlfriend

Now everyone wants to shit on me.
Also no one is hating on you. You attack people who earned their titles, so others defend them. That's natural. It keeps systems in order. You wouldnt have gotten bad feedback if for example you disagreed with them or criticized them constructively. But insulting someone crosses a line, and you did it publicly, so you're going to get public reactions. And now we're all disrespecting OP by turning his important question into a lecture.

I never insulted HPS. Do you guys have some standards that I have to worship the ground she walks on while having a conversation or else I’m insulting?
 
First of all as High Priestess, you can disagree with something I said and not just go ahead and doubt my Zevism or say I’m not spiritual. If you are wiser you can give me advice not just blind rage and hate. I’m actually disappointed in your judgement and going for just blind rage and childish gestures like oven or whatever.

I gave this advice because I see it all the time and it works. I’m a Zevist not a God and certainly not a beacon of light or whatever I’m not perfect like that.

This reply seems to have got you super emotional, maybe you experienced something similar in the past and that’s why you are lashing out so hard on a member who has proved loyalty and has been here for years and done tons of rituals and even was close to you at some point and looked for your consultations before.
Pardon my French here, but this is a load of bs.

High Priestess Lydia did not attack you: she pointed out something you'd understand clearly, had you read and internalised our Ethics section. All your so-called "advice" here directly contradicts many of portions of our Ethics, not to mention borders on Atibilibil in social form rather than religious form.

Do you understand that Zevism is about becoming a Theophoros first and foremost, before becoming a God? You don't become a Theophoros by engaging in unethical behaviour.

Unethical behaviour literally increases alignment with Izfet, and thus the weight of your heart.

If you have already read the Ethics section in full, it would be worth reading it again paying attention this time. And then engaging in stronger internalisation of it through:
You've been here many years. I expect more from you, from this point of view.
 
I am going to be polite here. Your initial advice came off as toxic manosphere nonsense, and you followed through all but brushing off High Priestess Lydia as, what, being an overly emotional hysterical woman or something? Putting it plainly, I'm beginning to think you need to evaluate your perception of women. That's the first thing. Second, have some respect for clergy. There's going to be an emotive reaction if the sort of advice you give can potentially result in the ruination of someone's life, regardless of whatever anecdotal evidence you have of it "working."

You could have just conceded the point, instead of choosing hostility towards High Priestess. And no, this is not just me "shitting on you". You're a long term member, as you have clearly said, and this is not the trajectory that you want to go down.
That was not the intent to show her as a hysterical woman or whatever. I don’t think like that.

You’re respectful and maybe you’re right. I haven’t familiarized myself with the new terms yet.

I honestly just saw this situation as emotional blackmail. It’s toxic and she’s crazy. So I just answered what I saw and from my experience, from my point of view I thought if someone’s manipulating, manipulate them back and get what you want in the end which is her just leaving. Surely it’s not that hard to get a girl to fall out of love and leave you.

I don’t get why this got so much hate it’s not rare to have someone try to emotionally blackmail even with suicide or whatever so you get the result you want in a different way.

Maybe I’m the one who’s been drowning in toxic relationships lol.

You guys are too perfect and ethical, maybe you’re the ones who are right. I’m comfortable with the toxicity honestly.
 
Breaking up is pretty simple actually. You just say you both are done and you are officially separated. If you like, you can also explain your reasons. No specific Magick is needed here. This is not marriage, so it is easier to do so. As for killing herself, OP needs to consider this might be manipulation as most cases prove to be just plain and simple manipulations. Of course, if there is any substance towards committing suicide, then the most OP can do is inform her family, her good friends, so they would help her. He also can direct her towards help. Making a ritual to one of our Gods to help in aligning the situation in the best way for all the parties involved might be also beneficial.

As for advice to become toxic, so she would want to have breaking up herself, this is not actually too far fetched. This just needs to be properly presented. In lots of scenarios, this actually might work. But when utilizing such measures, this situation is prolonged to lengths that usually are not necessary and might cause problems for all parties involved. In the past, before coming to ToZ, I actually utilized this "advice" and it worked. For the same reason that the ex threatened to kill herself. But if I would have known better as I do now, I would have just replied to her: "You go, girl!" Why? Because I now know that such types of people are extremely manipulative, they would do nothing of the sort. And if the situation would be such that a girl would actually have done something, I would still have separated, except I would just inform related parties about such manipulations and threats, so they would deal with her behavior. I am not a professional psychiatrist/psychologist, so I would try not to be involved in such sensitive matters. Situations might be different, but the fact remains. Lowering your own standard and behaving like this is just humiliating towards yourself first. We are supposed to be willing to help other people, but this does not mean we should do so without any clear boundaries.

As for manosphere/MGTOW/MRA, I think we can clearly establish that this is an instance related to Atibilibil. Lots of men really suffer injustice from the modern system towards them. There are really many instances of such injustice. But those movements give no actual solutions. Even under the modern legal framework, men have way more options than they are presented or even believe they have. Lack of legal understanding, lack of education is usually used against them by various experienced lawyers. And guess how many substantial discussions happen among those movements which would provide actual solutions instead of nonsensical hate? Nearly zero? Thus, we need to take their "advice" on relationships very critically.

The framework that ToZ provides is superior in every way as it allows clarity and actually helps us in connecting with the highest form of intelligence in the whole reality. Our Gods. So, it is reasonable that I will always use the tools that give me the most power and solutions to my own challenges. I don't care about anyone confirming my own beliefs when I feel bad, especially if my beliefs are wrong according to reality. Self-reinforcing beliefs that are wrong on a fundamental level is the straight path to mental and spiritual problems. And finally, ToZ methods actually help people not to just understand reality as it is, but live life according to its laws to the full extent. To become really and genuinely happy. And happiness is not something that someone else defines for us. It is our inner happiness that we can access through constant efforts using the methods provided here.

Brother you might have not meant it but that's how it came off since multiple people noticed. You don't have to call people names or swear at them to insult them.

Don't play victim, you don't have to kiss the ground she walks on, but being considerate and respectful yes.

I sense woman hating attitudes on you, even maybe unconscious.

Nobody is perfect. Everybody struggles with something in life, and approaches some things from a wrong perspective. The point is we grow out of toxic behaviours, and become toxic and more apt as we go. I gave you one powerful way this growth can happen.

Fighting toxicity with toxicity only breeds more toxicity. It doesn't solve anything long-term.

It's like you're trying to purify a well by adding more contaminants in it. Is it going to get better or worse by doing that?

Just something to think about.

Another thing you may want to ponder: does responding to toxicity with toxicity release it from you, or does it encode it deeper in your behaviour and psyche?

What is the outcome you want to reach when you are deciding on your course of action? This should be considered too, alongside zooming out of the specific situation to a more general view of your life, the patterns in it and their consequences.

Hope this helps.
