There is no life or process of existing and evolving without resistance energy in it. The universe was designed and the material world especially, so the soul can incarnate and evolve through a material body. This means that one is exposed to polarity: positive and negative, problem and solution, happiness and sadness, life or death. We will experience all directly or indirectly in this life and there is no escaping it.

Yet, that's exactly what makes the process of life worthwhile in itself. If we lived only in one state of these, there would be no evolution for the soul whatsoever.

Make no mistake we all have problems, difficulties and everything else. Some have "more" and others have "less" but we all have a share in what we call difficulties in life. Even as a Zevist, one cannot fully escape the full consequence of this law of reality, but at the same time, to think one must escape this is also erroneous.

One must not seek a life without any "problems". If you don't have any problems chances are that you are not trying for anything. If you are not trying for anything it means you are not trying to develop yourself or your existence.

As you grow in Zevism what changes is not the fundamental law explained above, which will always exist. But what drastically changes is how effective you can be on how you deal with problems. As you arm yourself with determination, faith, spiritual knowledge, understanding of the world, you increasingly start solving your problems in a faster rate, you can find solutions, and when life gives you pressure, you evolve regardless and you make good of what would alternatively only exist to cause you grief; ie, problems. There is no life without problems and everyone out there and everyone you know has them.

Through Zevism you can also drastically reduce internal problems, existential problems [such as mental fog, false presuppositions, dead weight of the mind]. By this process alone, you will be at mostly peace no matter what happens, up to a reasonable limit. So when life comes around to give you lemons, you essentially will know how to make lemonade. Then you will become good at making lemonade. In the end, you will want lemons so you can make better lemonade. There is no better feeling in the world than conquering what problems were once conquering you.

The category of people who has it all figured out and is blessed to have at least what torments most people, for example, riches or whatever, must also find new avenues and new pastures to develop themselves. One must not stagnate. What we call difficulty in our lives can actually be an invitation to growth. By re framing your mentality, you will no longer suffer from 95% of what people define as "problems". Check out where not doing this leads most outsiders, and then when you achieve what I say here to a higher extent, you will see the light of the Gods and understand their guidance and their existence in full.

If I go back let's say 15 years from now, I see that back then, I had a lot of problems where I was being swamped under. Sometimes I complained, mostly never; but the weight was there. I did not know how to really deal with it before Zevism, how I saw people dealing with things, were denial, not facing these things, allowing problems to damage them or run their course without attempting many fixes.

That's when I joined and the Gods started helping me, by reframing my mentality. This saved my internal life more than any externality would. Then, external world seems to follow. Yet the external world, even if it gets better, might not fix a wrong mentality. So the core, is within.

Nowadays I only have an array of more challenges, yet with the reformed mentality that is forged through the above explained process, life has drastically improved. Improved does not mean one leads a carefree life. Still, there is a lot of progress to be done on that end. Always is. And that's GOOD!

On the contrary, my existence has never been more care-intensive than today; yet simultaneously, the ability to appreciate, honor and venerate life as the creation of the Gods, no matter what happens, is a secret that one will know improves themselves a lot. As you close the distance between what challenge once ruled over you and now you rule it instead, you gain faith in yourself and confidence. This confidence is what builds character. Character then gives you the very desired strength you need to survive, and later, to thrive.

And after a time you will look back and say "it was me who overcame these?" and you will ask yourself and see for yourself that indeed, the internal force of God you carry is actually assisted by you to come to the surface. And that the Gods are actually helping you as you help yourself. That's one path; allowing the inner God power to help you in challenges in life and accept them as development, or deny this ability of yours and decided to be swamped.

What we decide, defines us deeply and will also define our reality here. The Zevist will become a Zevist when they understand this concept and apply it in daily life, mentality and actions. It happens in its own time. But when it truly sets in, life changes forever, because YOU have changed.

Start nagging and allowing these to take you down, and then you will suffer doubly. That's your choice and also the unconscious choice of many slaves. You will see billionaires crying who make this choice and people who are borderline in life and death, smiling and existing as if every breath was the most beautiful thing in the world. The first suffers, the second lives. Both suffer, but from another source; and they treat the matter differently.

Start reframing a proper Zevist mentality and the world will start looking more like a playground in which you can always have a better mood, and problems will start looking like toys. As a child innocently wants to solve the Rubik's cube, so will your own problems appear like blessings that require training to achieve.

Next time you get a problem, a dispute, or whatever that is troublesome, yes, you will not like it and might be angry. But think on the back of your mind: Now that is something that I can grow from, fix, and overcome. Then you will see how different your perception will become, because that's when you follow the path of Zevism. When this becomes habitual and occurs naturally, your perception of your life will start changing. Real strength will come from within you, and you will eventually improve from obstacles instead of suffocating beneath them.

Trust in the force of the Gods within and allow it expression. Know you can overcome obstacles. If you are in doubt, have faith in that doubt will be removed and you will grow. Then, proceed in this direction. This is the ultimate test of faith and proof, that when the Gods and our internal God-power sees, it activates itself to help us through challenges. Have unwavering faith in it, or if it wavers, bring it back until it's unwavering. Then you will hold one of the most major keys in Zevism: The key to self-overcoming.

I had this happen to me first hand cnstant resistance
Up and downs
But it only makes you stronger and more experience gets gained
Thank you High Priest Hooded Cobra 666 for this sermon
 
These words are full of wisdom.
Life is the moment when we face difficulties head-on in order to fight and become stronger. We are the ones who choose our destiny; we are the ones who choose whether to be strong or not.
Self-confidence is the first step toward achieving a goal or overcoming an obstacle.
Thank you, High Priest HoodedCobra, for giving us more words full of wisdom and experience. We praise you!
 
While facing difficulties, adopting the right mindset is already half the solution: the way we choose to react paves the way for everything else.

Giving in and wallowing in idleness serves no purpose and helps no one: neither in terms of resolution nor progress.

Thank you again for this Sermon, High Priest.


HAIL ZEUS!!!⚡💕
 
I had this happen to me first hand cnstant resistance
Up and downs
But it only makes you stronger and more experience gets gained
Thank you High Priest Hooded Cobra 666 for this sermon
I constantly pray lord Zeus and lord Janus to help be transform and overcome these obstacles in my life
May all be blessed by the Gods to be able to have deep meaningful transformation and our obstacles removed
 
You bring much motivational guidance to us, High Priest. If challenges is what refines us, Zevists, then we need to look forward to them so we can overcome them.

Amazing words, thank you.
 
Thank you High Priest!
 
I deeply wish to help others, and I realized that I must first help myself. By becoming more serious about meditation, I discovered, through introspection and guidance from the gods ,what I needed to resolve. I began to see problems as opportunities and made it my purpose to solve as many as I can. The blessings from the gods are magnificent, and the help I received to find the strength to start resolving things makes me feel truly powerful. I’m still working hard to ascend to the next levels of consciousness, and sometimes I feel I’m not doing enough, yet I know that time is needed to succeed. I wish for more people to walk the path of Zevism and gain all these benefits as well. Blessed be High Priest Hooded Cobra, blessed be the Temple of Zeus.
 
Thank you for this sermon and for your hard work High Priest.

2025 has been a challenging year from the pov of health in my case. I had the flu/cold for 2 months in march, been diagnosed with diabetes in july (altought this wasnt a surprise), and 3 weeks ago, it was an appendicitis.

But everytime, I will grow from all this. I have change my eating habits and I am improved a lot physically. I am on pause until I am able to do more exercice from the surgery.

Lets grow together, all Zevist. Make our Gods proud of what we can achieve.

"There is a positive and negative side to all things to keep them in balance -- to keep the Universe going. There are awful and terrible things that must happen, destructive deathly things, and there are good and miraculous things that must happen full of life and creative construction. It seems this would come to each randomly and it seems thus it should continue this way for eternity. This is not true. And this is the essence of Who I Am.

The world is to evolve out of this. There is always another way to do a thing. That way is far away. But it is still a possible way. Destruction and terror will not always be the other way. But until the time comes when destruction and terror are removed the world you must work how the world works. Until that time, that will come in time, this is Me -- a Perfect Balance. This is necessary. Destruction and creation."


There is always another way, while the false god was limited. OUR TRUE GOD IS INEFFABLE AND ETERNAL SURPASSING ALL LIMITATIONS. And that is what our god teaches us. To become greater than the limits society has told us to create.

When the laws of the universe itself gets rewritten so to say. It isn't just about war, but its about polarity as well. As above so below, what is within can also be seen within the world around. What some call a dream, a mere fantasy. Another may work to create it as reality.
 
Thanks so much High Priest HC666, the Gods continue to strengthen you always...
Whenever I get into challenges that will make me doubt my Eternal Father, I always transform such thoughts with a very strong belief that the God's are always with me, and just like magic, things will start working out for me.
I thank Father Zeus for having found me.
Hail Zeus
Hail Gods and Goddesses of Hell
Hail Zevist
 
Thank you High Priest HoodedCobra!! ⚡

I love the message of this Sermon so much, it is exactly what I've always believed is the Zevist Mentality 🌟✨ As the Gods watch over us: may we all make mistakes and always learn from them, make progress as souls to find our greatest selves and our greatest God potential 🔥
Change is the only certainty, let us change each day for the best, overcome our shortcomings and all challenges and find the way to enjoy the beautiful and amazing parts of life and evolution. There is glory in the strength this requires, it is something that is built like a muscle 💪🏻 Let us show up for ourselves daily and make the Gods proud as we accept Their Blessings and Love and Guidance 🌟✨

May the Gods bless our Eternal Temple of Zeus and Blessed Clergy! 🙏🏻⚡✨
 
I love problems, people bringing me problems or me creating problems for others. Every fuckin day of the week. the funniest part is that they think that they are making my life harder, umberable, or destroying me. Nothing far from the truth is actually a great service, what helps and excites me. Pain creates addiction. Moreover It's fun and a perfect excuse to execute some fools. Life is beautiful life is perfect
So yes, great sermon
 
Beautiful words, High Priest, as always indeed! Thank you, forever!
Since joining the Gods, my life has completely changed in a purely positive way. I will always be a testament to how great and transformative they are! I am grateful every day for having found them and for finding you all!

HAIL ZEUS!
HAIL SATYA!
 
Thank you as always for sharing your wisdom with us High Priest, it is much appreciated. Be blessed Zevist Family.
 
I read this sermon with hawk eyes, and I will surely read it again. Thank you, truthfully. 🙏

You reminded me of a time when I actually viewed obstacles as challenges. And I was genuinely happy when I was introduced with one. I believe it was a book that had helped me change my perspective - but eventually I came back to my own ways (which is where I'm still standing).

I had this belief ever since I was a child that a good life is a life without problems.

When I started working, for the first few years of my life, I was crying myself to sleep because I wanted to reach 70s when I could finally retire and "live free."

With every obstacles that comes in my life, to this day, I feel overwhelmed, helpless, weak. I keep searching for "a way out." A way out of my problems, a way out of all the difficulties.

And yet, I completely recognize that when I was pressured and life didn't hand me anything easily, I had the greatest growth as a human being. I can understand this logically, but I keep finding myself searching for a life without problems and difficulties.

I don't know from where this pattern of thoughts comes from. Perhaps it originates from how my own mother faced her problems (in constant denial), and perhaps it comes from past lives residues as well.

If a physical (mental) way to solve this mentality isn't enough, then spiritual means will be my other weapon. Finding the right affirmation and the right working...

Thank you so much for this sermon, truly, I don't know how to thank you enough.
I've been so lost... And there are thoughts and emotions I can't share with anyone because I feel embarrassed, but you helped me so much with this sermon.

Perhaps focusing on doing our Gods' Power Rituals, asking for their guidance, feeling their energy, etc, can also help for those of us who feel lost.

Thank you.
 
Thank you, esteemed High Priest, for consistently being an inspiration and providing significant motivational guidance to us as Zevists. If challenges are what shape us, then I will embrace them so I can grow and rise above them.
 
For me, challenges and difficulties in life give me reasons, goals to advance and live in the first place, I reached to the point that I cannot imagine life without problems, life would for me become a boring meaningless horrific nightmare.

Thank you for this sermon High Priest, every Zevist here and beyond, must take it to heart, if they have not already done so.
 
What I find unfair about all this is God didn't have to do anything to become God. He already or always had everything. How is that fair that we have to go through struggle and limitations while He just always had everything from the start, or from eternity?

The myths of Zeus defeating Chaos are just that, myths. In real life, God was always God, no struggle was needed. Chaos, or struggle was something He set up for us. The myths even say it was Zeus' will for men to suffer.

In economic terms, it reminds me of people who were born rich telling everyone else to "pull themselves by their bootstraps" while they were born with everything handed to them. Even then you can say they earned that wealth through work from past lifetimes perhaps. God however, didn't have to do anything.

It doesn't seem right to me.

Your question is not complete since you don't understand the nature of reality of the Universe. Our Gods were not "Gods" in the sense the Abrahamic religions preach. They had their own struggles and pains which they had to overcome. If you look at other forms of life like the Greys they too could be "Gods" but failed. Every myth talks about the Gods being ruled by the same forces of Nature that affect us. When I was heavily involved in warfare years back and saw some of the worst attacks ever, my GD showed some attacks she had to face which even used to "shake" her. I was scared for her because what I was facing was not even 1% of that.
Are you disappointed that you have the opportunity to advanced and face challenges with the potential to be like Gods? Or would you have preferred the life of an animal who cannot advance much beyond a certain point in their spiritual journey?

"In economic terms, it reminds me of people who were born rich telling everyone else to "pull themselves by their bootstraps" while they were born with everything handed to them. Even then you can say they earned that wealth through work from past lifetimes perhaps. God however, didn't have to do anything." - The difference here in your understanding is temporal. In the sense, the Gods had humans when they achieved immortality, not when they were struggling too. Going with your example, would you have prepared a broke Father instead of a rich Father. The broke Father would not be able to provide for anything be it knowledge or power or money since they themselves were not able to overcome the same forces they want you to fight against. Or would you have a rich Father? Someone who lets you take risks, lets you fail but provides you with solutions so that you on your own too can overcome these limitations that hold you down.

To recognize your Heritage means to understand that our Gods too in their lives have seen similar fates but overcame them. To respect the Gods is to respect the Beings who are advanced and continue to advance since they know what the Universe could have been like. Your Heritage in the Gods is reflective of beings who made it in the universe. You should be proud instead of letting these self defeating thoughts take over your mind.
