This is an excerpt from the live AMA High Priest Zevios Metathronos has done with Vultus Templorum members. This part expands the reflection into spiritual consciousness and the survival of civilization itself. Drawing from Aristotle, Plato, and the ancient priesthoods, we begin to understand why, without a spiritual connection to the Gods, humanity risks losing all measure, self-reflection, and justice descending into a state where "the last surviving person wins." High Priest examines why people of lower awareness remain trapped in cycles of hatred and war, why expanded consciousness reveals the true horror of conflict, and why empathy allows us to understand even those born into regimes of ignorance and violence.
