About Bullshit Emotional Sentimentality: Pulling The Mental Switch

[Inquisitor⥀Veritas]

As always very well said dear High Priest, your words always ring true no matter the situation. Heed these words well everyone, it is time to start doing something to actively make your life better. If we truly want to manifest the Golden age permanently for humanity then we need to begin the work to make it happen, no more excuses pick yourself up dust yourself off and remove these slave mentalities you still have within you. If you don't analyze yourself, in other words are not introspective then you will never realize there is areas of improvements that you need to work on. the best time is NOW, hesitation is defeat and you must begin the work to advance yourself. We are not meant to be like the slaves of the "abrahamic" religions, we are children of the Gods and the Gods want us to reach heights we can not even fathom right now. Start small, but start now don't put off what can be done today. Your best self is waiting for you, will you put in the effort and time to transform into who you were always meant to be?

Another Glorious Sermon brother Sir HPHC. Epic and Based and True.

Excellent sermon for setting the tone of this year I think. Already I have noticed more immense increase in blessings, wisdom, power, love, and closeness with this community and with our Gods than all previous years combined and it’s not even yet the second week of the year. Knowing this trend is only continuing to improve and that this year of the Horse it is becoming the mighty Golden Chariot of the Gods.

Our Allfather is leading the charge on the back of Sleipnir to trample all of the opposition, obstacles and dross, in the greatest spiritually cavalry charge of all time for the liberation of our souls and our planet and we serious Zevists like me, the VTs, the Guardians, and yourself and the rest of our clergy such as yourself HPHC are his riders alongside him.

I’m brimming with excitement for this most radiant of years may it bring prosperity, power, pleasure, enlightenment, and victory to us all.

Thank you, most esteemed High Priest, for this powerful reality-check sermon. Your words are a call to rise above weakness and truly claim our power.
Let us commit, here and now, to flipping this mental switch within ourselves. Together, we will make ourselves and this place the mightiest and holiest spiritual stronghold on planet Earth.
We can do this, and we will.

 

[Tethys333]

Those are very wise words, High Priest, and I believe that this sermon is exactly what I was waiting for.

First of all, I believe that nothing in life is easy; you have to work to achieve it, whether with magic or without. Average people are used to being spoiled and wanting everything handed to them on a silver platter, but if you continue with this mindset, you will probably never experience personal spiritual growth.
If you want to achieve something, you have to fight for it, and if discomfort comes from within, it is useless to blame others without taking responsibility for yourself.

Although we did propose “alternatives to one measly dollar donation,” in general, I believe that the main problem is laziness in all of this, and with that, depriving oneself of all the tools that are donated by HoO. Not even the slightest effort to change the situation. But if you don't have the will, how can anything change?
Consequently, what I can say is that the damage is done only to oneself, first because of the lack of respect shown towards the Clergy and all the members who have worked hard to make this happen, and second because you are depriving yourself of absolute knowledge.


Thank you again for this sermon, High Priest, and may the Gods always watch over our path.

Thank you High Priest Hooded Cobra 666.

 

[SoulSails13]

Thank you, my High Priest, this sermon is especially important for me.
In my 19 years of living, I have continually tortured myself with self hatred, and other self-enforced hopelessness.
I have been very guilty of blocking myself, out of an outright delusional feeling of not deserving, there was a point where I would outright refuse to do any God rituals, with that exact thinking being the reason why. Fortunately, I have been making a gradual effort to change, and purge myself of this wretched mental virus.
HAIL ZEUS!

 

[Sungio13]

Thank you High Priest Hooded Cobra!

This is a reminder for anyone to stop wallowing in this incorrect mentality of "if I have to work for something, then I don't deserve it."

Many members can tell you the more they sacrifice and work for the Temple of Zeus, the more opportunities they have to transform themselves and become stronger and more successful humans. One can even say some things become "easier" to achieve because your work is very real in allowing you to connect to the Gods more which therefore allows you to feel their love and support even more.

Some internal developments can be difficult but again, if you sacrifice for the Gods, you'll then nderstand how much they give to you constantly.

Let us flip the switch!

 

[Ex-Translator]

Thank you for this Sermon, High Priest. Zevists are people who take action and shape reality around them.

 

[Astrid]

Thank you High Priest HoodedCobra!

It is very true that your perception of the world and what you're able/willing to do about it completely makes up your experience of reality.
One's mentality is one's reality.

This is why the enemy worked so hard to place obstacles and walls in the mass mind, to keep most people in a state of being mentally enslaved which polices others into the trap of the same devolution cycle. When before we had come from ancient cultures of Heroism, venerating the Divine Achievement and all that Divinity stands for.

Zevists, people who have seen the Message of the Temple of Zeus and have chosen to assume responsibility for our future, are inheritors of an Original Culture more pure and applied than ever before thanks to the attention of the Gods and our Clergy that sustains our ToZ community. This is also a cycle but one of Evolution.

We can't change how we entered upon the Path, how we begin is from our own reference of a life lived incompletely and without Divine Guidance.
The next step is knowing that we are now responsible for becoming a better reference through becoming more consciously aware of our past programming and how we can change into and make actionable the Heroic Zevist mindset. Our ToZ community truly deserves the best version of ourselves that we can be.

Every day, you get to be the kind of person who would have taken your hand and shown you the lessons you needed to learn ages ago, but now. Choosing to be this person is a reward of itself. Destructive attitudes like stagnation, excuses and complacency are never rewarded.

The old saying, your mind is your garden, your thoughts are the seeds, what you tend to (either the flowers or the weeds) is what will grow. This has consequences for your soul and the reality you inhabit.

We as a collective are embodying a philosophy of a constructive way forward, many of us can sense it. Constructiveness, in our attitudes and actions, is how we will build something beautiful together with the True Gods. This Sermon is so needed at this time!

 

[Kajo]

Thank you for the sermon.

There is no "free shit" in life. If you're that kid who got candy from your parents - your parents worked to earn money to buy that candy. If you're an unemployed adult living on welfare - employed people were taxed to get you "free money". There's always someone who has laboured and struggled for someone else's "free stuff" whether they wanted to or not.

[Xerath666]

Incredibly powerful sermon, I felt it resonate with every fiber of my being. I will fully manifest my higher self.

 

[High Priestess Lydia]

Growing up can be harsh. But the sooner you adjust your mindset, the sooner you will succeed and win at life.

 

[Draconis]

The problem with giving complex and high quality meditations for free is that one wouldn't give them the right value and wouldn't even appreciate them. We also need to make the infrastructure of the ToZ websites going on, and it requires money. We need to create a virtuous system where who gives can also receive, and who bestows blessings in form of knowledge can have something in return. Many of the meditations in the Hall of Osiris are to be performed by advanced members, not to the average Joe. Plus, what many people don't see is that the Hall of Osiris, along with the whole Outreach and Vultem situation, gives devoted Zevists an opportunity to grow tremendously alongside the Clergy and the Gods. I say "Devoted" because who really loves the Temple of Zeus loves the Gods, and loving them is not a matter of "I go to church and hope they put me among the 144.000" but actually helping building our Temple. There is no salvation or redemption, we need to create the environment that will save countless souls in the future.

A place where everything is for free may seem nice, but it creates many bad vicious circles that will ultimately destroy us.

 

[SovereignPrince]

Solid and respectable. When I talk to Satan now I simply ask him to inspect my practice. I do the work. I vibrate my chosen runes, I program the energy, then I take an extra step ... I personify what I want it to do through action over words. I might be new it seems to be really working.

Triumph of the will
Victory to the bold

 

[SkeletonHands]

A very hard but truthful sermon High Priest Hooded Cobra! I have a person in mind that has a child like mentality in some cases. Unfortunately I dont know if they want to move past it and have made desicions that have caused damage to those around them. I have used them as an example to evaluate myself and become a better person.

Thank you!

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

 

[TheVoiceOfVictory]

I have seen too much of it, and if I could ring the gong, bell, or what have you to have this message our High Priest is giving us ring out even louder and more persistent than ever, to humanity at large, I certainly would, there will be a better time for that, for me, it is coming. The best I can do now is call folks on their bullshit where I am able, while continuing to uphold the will to work and strive for what I wish and what must be done so I at least I know I as myself am making the correct choices in this. To the benefit of myself and those around me. Also, doing my best to hold to the promises I make to these wishes and needs, and not fall short if I intend on making them to begin with.

Remember to meditate everyone. Remember to be consistent in them. The answers are all there in detail on the Temple of Zeus website and of course, some more elaboration on it here in the Ancient Forums. Ways to get started, ways to improve, ways to strengthen and empower, etc. There is so much if you would only grasp it, and truly stand up and work for the goals you say you wish to attain. We have that honor to do so as individuals. Remember Astaroths 8 fold Path.

Thank you for all you do High Priest Hooded Cobra 666, the bluntness and directness may be shocking for some, but it is refreshing to me, as I would prefer clarity over muddied understanding.

Hail Satya.
Hail Zeus.

 

[GoldenLion666]

Amazing sermon! This is just the reading I needed... I've off track for a couple of months now and im finally back to my routines with meditation... The Gods brought me back because this is where I belong.
Thank you HP Hooded Cobra for always spitting the truth!

Hail Zeus!

"Rules can be like: A bottle of water costs 1 dollar. That's how much it costs. Realistically you have two choices; either steal it and go to jail - or buy it and drink water. The system is binary. I am not going to discuss if this is "existentially" right or wrong, but it is what it is in the world. We either give the dollar or we essentially have to face the consequences of this reality".
The only problem with this analogy is the bottle of water was NEVER FREE TO BEGIN WITH!!!!!! Since it had a paywall from the very beginning, the reality of this was understood and the transaction was accepted or not. But best believe I understand now. I thank you for helping me realize something. And I promise, the wrong mentality about ALOT OF THINGS WILL NEVER HAPPEN EVER AGAIN !!!!! I now see... Thank you.

There is no problem at all. Your enjoyment is someone else's responsibility, and this applies to all material things. So, it was a gift, and you were upset that you do not get a "free" gift no more. ToZ, as an organization, is moving forward from the entitled child phase to a more serious phase, adulthood, eventually. Good that you have understood at least in part your previous folly. We are not children here who abhor responsibility, you see...

 

[Black Wolf]

Thank you, HPHC for the strong and inspiring message!

 

[Sacred Zucchini]

This is a very valuable sermon. Thank you, High Priest Cobra!

 

[DreamWolf]

I feel called out, in a saddened manner...

Literally a couple nights ago I felt Father Satan and a handful more assembled around me (I was guessing they were Gods or at least spirits of the like?) calling me the maknae of JoS, in the most affectionate manner... It was all about me curling up crying for hours because even well meaning criticism tears me down badly...

I never ever deny that, at Goddamn age 38, mother of a wonderful, extremely capable 6 year old, I'm almost nothing more than a whining kid feeling able to do nothing but beg for comfort...

Granted, I've been through all kinds of fucken hell this past decade especially! By Father Satan's Mercy we've finally gotten a home, and instead of spending time establishing emotional calm and solidity in the way that works for me so that I have a foundation to work with, am here, constantly beating myself up assuming that if anyone knew me, closely enough, would probably just despise me for my weaknesses and look down on me and wish I wasn't even present here...

Father Satan treats me in the exact opposite manner... Coddling me to no end, speaking very wisely, reasonably and constructively each time though...

Granted, maybe I just need a long awaited emotional break after 15 years of bordering on screaming because of all the awful things life put me through... We're sitting in our home, it's dead quiet aside from the sounds we make through the day and night, nobody around, all possibilities present...

And I'm spoiled beyond measure with a life of being loved by Him and not having to do anything but focus on this, for the moment aye...

I get disheartened way too easily though... By people, mostly... If you could imagine the amount of times people angrily compared my many incompetencies to their amazing fruitful qualities aye...

And it's not like I'm without fortes to contribute with, really really far from it...

I always believed that each individual is blessed by something useful or another to contribute to the world with, and one just has to find those qualities and start cultivating them... Society has come a long way with recognizing tending to human fragility, in a constructive manner aye...

Question is, is one to apprehend having to be the sheep thrown to wolves when entering these premises, because I think it can be detrimental just withdrawing from all interactions and cooping up to solely turn to Deities about every little thing... (Guilty as charged, for years on end now, I have only one close enough friend and I'm too timid to ever bother her now that we've moved away for our new home, and I'm always too timid to make friends, I recognize my lack of interest anymore to give my all to uplift others, and I don't wanna use them with the excuse of being too tired emotionally to adequately reciprocate aye...)

Here I am, typing away instead of managing my time better yet again to attempt a useful meditation to pick from the ones prescribed here... Constantly zapped of energy, now am not by some miracle, and here I am using it on this instead of quickly getting some dishes done to settle in and try one of them aye... *sigh*

Another reason am apprehensive about interacting with people is that I'm mostly long winded... Is anyone ever okay with lengthy posts here? Meh...
