Advice you wish you had when you needed it most.

-Don't underestimate the importance of grounding to balance from the powerful knowledge given here in the Temple, not getting carried away with ego or "trying to prevent" perceived "negative" events coming, especially if you're mind is coming from a background of recurrent crisis or otherwise influenced that way, presuming negative outcomes. Don't undervalue this knowledge either, don't consider yourself above what uplifted you.

-Have faith in yourself and the Gods, know and appreciate also the value of and beauty of the tried and true, and what you already have in yourself. Like Heraclitus said, to make your soul dry and not damp. Courage and not insolence.

-Knowing yourself, Understanding limits and being shipwrecked otherwise is what puts the path into the actual and true perspective, where growth can occur.

Do things even when you do not feel like doing them, because rewards are exponential in this way.

Keşke ilk gün başladığımda meditasyonlarımı hiç aksatmasaydım, keşke insanlara değil Tanrılara odaklansaydım, keşke hiçbir Zevi ile tartışmasaydım, keşke hiçbir Tanrı ritüelini kaçırmasaydım, keşke bu hataları yapmasaydım, keşke kendimi boş yere yormasaydım, keşke sigarayı hemen bırakabilseydim, keşke...

I wish I hadn't missed a single practice session on the first day, I wish I had focused on the Gods instead of the people, I wish I hadn't argued with any of the Zevi, I wish I hadn't missed any of the God rituals, I wish I hadn't made these mistakes, I wish I had just given up and not wasted my energy, I wish I could have quit smoking immediately, I wish...

Realize that Gods are truly our friends and one should not be afraid to communicate with them causally, not only when one needs something. They appreciate that. Everyone can and should establish their own communication with them. There should be no mediators in between. One may have a false understanding that only the chosen ones can communicate with Gods, which creates reliance on others and prevent oneself from advancing.

If one cannon distinguish yet between own thoughts and Gods, use aid. Pendulum is great for confirmations.

If you have a friend who is also one of us, practice hosting. It feels more natural, you would be surprised how easy is to talk to them like this.

If you lucky to have more than one friend, and still have doubt, try talking to the same God with different hosts, so you can validate if they are saying the same thing. This personally helped me to stop doubting that we are not making stuff up.

Doubt is not offensive to the Gods. Many are too afraid to offend them, but they are very understanding and not easily offended, as long as you are being respectful.

It's important to learn to recognize Gods by their energy, as sometimes random entities might try impersonate them. If they "vibes" are off, or what are they saying does not sound like something that they would say, try focusing on the Sigil for longer until it feels right.

We often apply "communication standards" formed by enemy teaching, which makes us feel that Gods won't talk to us, humans, as they are too "above us".
People hesitate to communicate, because they don't want to bother them with something insignificant, but if this is important for you, it will be important to them too as they want us to thrive.

What they don't like however, is when you just ask them for help, do nothing yourself and expect results, especially if you are actually capable of doing it yourself.
And trust me, you are capable way more than you think, however there should be balance and clear understanding of own potential (don't let the ego cloud your judgment) and what is actually realistic.
Treating magic as a form of science helps, as it needs to follow certain laws of physics.
Another thing to realize is that if you ever feel stuck and focusing on one specific stage ain't helping, you should try to be more creative.

For example often due to the forced interactions with enemy religious programs in the childhood, one may have blocked 3rd eye, so the visualization won't work at all.

From personal experience I've seen many people would just give up, because they can't see anything, since they are looking for some form of validation that they things are real. In this case one should not focus on seeing, but on feeling the energy. If feeling is not convincing enough either, which often the case due to the layers of spiritual dirt, then the only thing you can do is to know that the energy is being manipulated in the way that you need.

This is the case where you need to push, even if you feel nothing at the moment. This is where you need to start believing in yourself. This is the ultimate test of your will power. This is where you start building the momentum for the rest of your journey.

You don't need a perfect scenario to deploy any idea.

Start working on what you want no matter that it's late in the night, you're tired, you're undecided (even more reason to start it), you're unmotivated...these will all be gone once you start doing it.

Don't wait for the perfect day, there won't be one. You have to claim and conquer the day yourself.

Take your chakra work seriously. (I DID get that advice at the very beginning but did not follow it until much later, so my other advice is heed the advice you're given.)

"Love yourself like a mother loves her child, and like a child loves her mother."
-- This was said to me by Lady Astarte, but I still haven't been able to do it.

One day, some years ago, I was talking to the Gods and I was crying because I felt like my life had no meaning. A voice in my head said, "we give meaning to our lives."
Up until that point, I expected the Gods to give me a meaning. In spite of having an idea of what I wanted to do and the path I wanted to follow, I wanted the Gods to give me a path because I didn't want (didn't feel capable) of choosing a path on my own. This quote was eye-opening, to say the least.

Wonderful advice from everyone, I am sure this will help others. Now I am going to add my two cents into it as well. My advice to you is about the self, when you start to figure out who you are, own it be proud of the unique individual you exist as. Don’t let others try to ever tell you what you can and cannot do, the ones who do this tend to be to be too afraid of failure to try to begin anything in the first place. They try to put you in a box so to speak, to limit you because they either never tried or they failed and just gave up. recognize the beauty in failure. With failure comes clarity, but the clarity only arrives if you are willing to analyze what went wrong to begin with. Look at trying things out as a form of experimentation. You all know you the best when it comes to others point of views, and if you don't yet then try not to worry because you will.

I want to thank you, this was huge for me. Last night I decided to just open up and talk out loud to Father Zevs, Lord Osiris, when I was doing his ritual and also my Guardian Daemon. I was just opening up about my day at work and how it went, and I could feel the energy and when I was meditating with my eyes closed, I was seeing maybe Father Zevs? It was someone. Either way thanks again, I appreciate this more than you could know. Going forward it's just open communication and connection constantly with the Gods when I am home from work.
