SG Karnonnos: "Another thing is the naivete here that often comes with the fact people seek out Zevism in moments of crisis. If you have longstanding problems, some of which may last decades or lifetimes, expecting them to be resolved in a week - no, not happening."

The above statement is something very important. I am therefore publishing another post that was meant to be published at a later date.

The enemy lies about all these topics as everyone can clearly understand, they don't care in helping, teaching, or advancing humanity. Christians are those who say the "God is omnipotent" and provide no guidance on how to receive any of the non-existing help of their non-existent jewish "god". I have heard Christians who say crazy things like jumping off a cliff for Jesus Christ and that he and his angels will save you, but I have never seen a Christian actually practice it. Empty talks, empty promises, empty nonsense, complete suicidal advice. These suicidal and illogical concepts are sometimes transferred in the form of "expectations" about what the Divine can or cannot do.

As we are with the True Gods, the True Gods have given directives on how we can best, receive their actual and valid help. When the true divine is concerned, there is clear about what it can do for us, and what we can do for them, so it helps us.

By reading this post which is in simple language, you will understand this and this post continues on series of another posts in that direction.

It's not infrequent of an occurrence, when "things go good" for people to completely ignore spiritual progress, bonds with the Gods, or literally postpone everything of evolution for another time. This can be also the case when one "finds the Temple of Zeus" but leaves it for later, like a dish in the fridge, for when things will be "worse".
Eventually, a crisis happens, a death, a removal of some circumstance or situation that has held someone afloat [afloat meaning, away from the realization that something bad would occur] and one is shaken. Now, when they need support the most, they cannot properly anchor to the Gods, because simply, one has not been prepared for this. This is then given over to the Gods as "they do not answer me" or "they have not been there when needed" and in most cases, the Gods have been there not only during this moment of crisis, but also all along the way until you reached there.

If one is constantly with the Gods, you reduce your margin of errors largely in life. You do not make it zero, but you can greatly reduce it. If someone for example opens a company early on and when being spiritually and educationally alert, they will know for example it takes about 1 to 2 years in order for it to pick up. One will be spiritually prepared by intuition that not everything might fall into place, be alerted of mistakes, or "life will make it in such a way that one will find their errors and grow from them".

Alternatively, if one is literally not prepared or anything, they walk a path blind; as it goes "good" or seemingly so, one drifts off and forgets they will require the aid of the Gods at some point. This is in human nature in that we are unfortunately in the predicament that we seek strongly the Gods, when things go really wrong; not when they go right. This means that when things go right, we do NOT evolve as much as we could during the "Good times", but it also means, that when for lack of another wording, shit hits the fan, the shit will hit the fan stronger.

Therefore, it must be understood that one loses doubly or in the multiplies when they are not properly anchored in spiritual evolution, preparation and the Gods. One loses exponentially in the good times, and one can lose even more on the bad times. The good times that could be used in wisdom to prepare for the bad times, are not used, they are just experienced, until the battery runs out. Then, the problems occur and one finally remembers they are a Zevist or that they should do practices, when the problems are in their doorstep. When that occurs, it needs 10 times the effort to run the ship around.

One would be saved in advance if they heard way earlier; but they have not. That increases the amount of totality of karma, when certain situations become in the end, inescapable to be saved from. Had one had the wisdom to maintain the path earlier, things would have been far easier to solve; what will now cost 1 ton of energy, would cost 2 months earlier, about 2-3 ounces of energy. This is like walking into a black hole and not being aware of the gravitational field; when one is too close to the "black eye of the hole" there is no force that can easily avert it.

Even in these cases, I have seen the Gods intervene and help. Of course, as one is habituated to the mentality that "it's alright, they will help me", this can turn over help into abuse of the Gods, who have, in order to save you, use 1 ton of energy for what you could have spent 3 ounces to save yourself for. And in certain cases, especially if one does nothing, they will not be saved.

If someone could for example avert a business catastrophe with 1,000$ and then the problem reaches 10,000,000$, there are many fewer bidders to save it by that time. No bidders would be needed to save anyone if the problem was observed early on. As you can understand also, for people to back something with 10 million to save it, there has to be more value in saving it; and in this case, one makes one's existence have less and less value perceived by the Gods. This can in itself be a major problem.

Imagine also an accelerating vehicle; if the driver is blind or in the wrong path and they keep accelerating and accelerating, past a point there is also the cliffs. If the same driver was actually studying the road and going normally, they would have time to steer the wheel. As they reach 250 miles per hour, and they see the cliff which is where they were directed, then the pray on the last moment as the vehicle flies off the cliffs; then, it's "Gods help me" and "Where are you now, Gods". One has not paid attention, they wanted to run the cliff. Hundreds of signs were along the way; "Go with 60 miles per hour...Listen...You are in delusion...Stop this" - all conveniently ignored. The nature of most mistakes is because of this, lack of warning, lack of foresight, lack of attention along the way.

"Gods help me" should be replaced in this case by earlier in this road-trip, with "Gods help me become a better driver", or "Gods help me to not do the stupidest shit under the sun and then have to rely on your emergency help", "Gods let me see the signs and know the limits". As you fly off the cliff and you say "Gods help me", you can understand how difficult it would be to help you in the middle of the air. In cases like this, mortals write their fate.

Zeus: A story of Gods Not Intervening; not because they cannot, but to not break universal order.

Now, let's delve into the topic further. Illiad and Odyssey should not be "taken literally" as they represent cosmic events and parables. In these however, we can find clarifications about the operation of the Gods. There are examples on how the Gods can retaliate, hold back, or even act, or decide or not decide to act based on examples. The Illiad and Odyssey were "The Bible of the Ancient World" and were considered instruction manuals for the Initiates to study.

Zeus, in Illiad, was documented as "crying tears of blood over his son, Sarpedon". The history of Sarpedon is that he was a loved commander of the Trojans by Zeus. As the story is long, the summary is that Sarpedon, out of rage, decided to wage an 1 on 1 battle with Patroclus, in which Zeus knew he was going to die. Sarpedon fully accepted this and marched for his death, in heroic values and left fate to do what she wills about the battle. It was already however in the eyes of the Gods, decided by fate.

Patroclus was a powerful warrior and friend of the legendary warrior Achilles, so the death of Sarpedon was certain; he just did not know about it himself as he was going in the battle. As such, when Zeus is seeing Sarpedon walk into his death, His love for His son is great and he debates to literally transfer Sarpedon out of the battle, saving him from his fatal mistake.

However, Zeus knows and can see his fate and change it, yet Hera intervenes, talking him "out of it" and explaining to Him that if rules of existence are violated, all the Gods will start violating the rules, effectively leading the world into collapse. Zeus accepts her counsel and does not act; yet this is one of the occurences where the Gods are shown as beings that actually can be "biased" to help their own, yet, when fate is too far, this can be impossible to do. Zeus shows paternal love. After all, his children are in a war and the Gods try to help them, but they are in themselves writing their own fate and in essence, creating these circumstances. The mortals wrote their fate, not Zeus in this case. They wanted wars and and destruction and their own ignorance, cannot be something they are always saved from.

Zeus laments with "Tears of blood" at his death, regardless about the situation. Albeit the Gods have power to change fate, that is besides the point here. It's already known the Gods can save and alter fate, but what are humans, individually or collectively doing a lot of time? Instead of asking for wisdom, they just throw around their lives, or genuinely move in very bad directions only to seek (or not seek) help later on when it's too late.

Saving each and every person out of this, for no reason, would not only jeopardize cosmic order, but it also creates major obstacles in the path of a person, who cannot evolve properly by learning via mistakes or even in some cases...far gone mistakes.

In Odyssey, Zeus speaks directly on this topic, in Rhapsody A (this is the beginning of the text, so you can imagine how important this statement aligned to Zeus is):
«ὢ πόποι, οἷον δή νυ θεοὺς βροτοὶ αἰτιόωνται· ἐξ ἡμέων γάρ φασι κακ’ ἔμμεναι· οἱ δὲ καὶ αὐτοὶ σφῇσιν ἀτασθαλίῃσιν ὑπὲρ μόρον ἄλγε’ ἔχουσιν.»

Translation:

“Ah, how shamelessly mortals blame the gods! They say that evils come from us, but they themselves, through their own reckless transgressions, suffer pains beyond what fate has ordained.”

Three things are clear from this quote:

1. There is a set amount of evil and pain that is incumbent to being a human, merely based on fate. Astrology and many other disciplines let you know about this; where there is karmic things to pay. Yes, that exists for all, nobody is excluded. Even the people you think have the best life. They will pay a toll that is related to this.

2. Ignorance and recklessness, can increase this by magnitudes.

3. Conversely, wisdom and being intelligent, can reduce this by magnitudes.

4. Gods have few things to do with suffering, they have everything to do with actually providing solutions for it.

5. Blaming the Gods about suffering is just blame-shifting often, that makes one more ignorant - in this case, suffering increases.

6. Not blaming the Gods and understanding existence, plus increasing wisdom and understanding, decreases suffering. Suffering is decreased because of assumption of responsibility. For this, a bond with the Gods and wisdom is necessary, decreasing suffering.

7. Being shameless about one's own ignorance and always blame shifting, is not going to help you reduce suffering at all.

Further and final conclusions on this topic: Yes, the Gods can help. Yes, the Gods can cause miracles. Yes, the Gods observe us and they can be really sad and facepalm themselves as we move into our doom out of ignorance. Yes, they suffer from our acts. No, you cannot freeload of this to simply just bail-out randomly from consequence of action. No, if one digs their grave and gets inside they cannot be saved. No, this is not for everyone that will be considered in this. No, reality is not a game where you just bail out with the "Gods get out of jail card". No, you cannot be helped the closer you move to doom, so you must avoid that trajectory in the first place.

Most importantly: The limit of what the Gods can or cannot do does not exist; but that is not the important question. The important question is your positioning in life. This decides directly how much, how easily, and how promptly the Gods can help you. The aligned Initiate that thinks of error in advance, is always on a better trajectory to receive help, than the reckless one.

Embrace wisdom, stay on the path, avoid your own errors early on; don't wait until it's too late. This is the recipe for avoiding most of suffering, pre-emptive understanding.

Doing the meditation's and
Bettering yourself to grow with
Trust in yourself and God's is
Very important what I do is
Stare into and situation and
Circumstances before it happens and use .my tarot by catching it
Before it happens and seek help from the God's or seeing if I can fix myself I agree totally with you
Hail Zeus and the God's of Olympus!!!
 
I'll be introspecting on all the possible ways I might be neglecting aspects within myself and my life that could be lacking or needing rectification.

I already know what certain responsibilities I need to take care of ASAP before they snowball into disparaging consequences.

Thank you again High Priest Hooded Cobra for sharing everything above.
 
This is all very true High Priest Hooded Cobra. We must stay the course and manage ourselves as mortals, and human beings have a habit of transgressions, just as Zeus states. I also want to mention something in regards to my own experience on the edge. I've been there too many times, either from my own hand of foolishness, or often the hard hand of fate I had to learn to manage in life.

Some years ago when I was struggling immensely with physical and mental disease. I reached my breaking point despite serious spiritual and material effort. I had enough, I could take no more.

In life, i have reached this many times over, but this was one of my lowest moments.

As I went out driving I fully and consciously decided to kill myself. I physically was flooring it and slowly veering the wheel to plummet into the ravine off the side of a mountain. My Guardian Daemon Ares appeared and said "What are you doing? Stop this!" and as i felt him angrily motioning and guiding the wheel, I managed to pull myself together and find a place to pull over and collect myself. He comforted me afterwards and assured me everything was going to be alright... but I cannot imagine how many times if human beings just made the proper series of decisions in life and a lot of the time how many issues could be avoided. I cannot fathom the patience the Gods have for this frail species.

Of course, this is an extreme case, and if we are being literal they shouldn't intervene in many of these cases because of natural law, but they were there for me, and I am forever grateful to Lord Zeus and our Eternal Gods. They truly want the best for us and are here for us always.

We must become wholly divine and make them proud.
