Focusing Your Mind on Your Goals; Avoiding Brain Pollution

Just like with the very basics of IT, there is a big difference between INFORMATION and DATA.

Data with meaning and importance is information while data is just nothing but collected rubbish. This is just like differentiating the beneficial minerals out of the useless stone.

A lot of people are ungrounded and wonder about random things that don’t actually have much value in reality. The enemy really uses this to manipulate us with too much tv and video games, as a few examples. Letting your imagination soar does help to activate the right side of the brain, and can help expand the mind and develop magickal ability. But letting it out of control, or spending too much time wondering about useless things, is a waste.

What’s the point in spending large amounts of time wondering about something random that won’t even help your life in any way? Something that won’t contribute to your success in anything? Just because it’s neat or mildly entertaining for the moment?

We now live in the “Information Age”, which is great in many ways. After all, we can access nearly anything we want to with the click of a few buttons. One person can have all the information in the world, which is really exciting, even overwhelming. We can have more information than all our ancestors before us… but is all this information actually valuable?

Lydia, thank you for your post :), the post is very beautiful❣️

I haven't had time to look at the calendar in recent days, but the idea came to my mind to start a Mercury Square, and now you are writing about this, it's great, I think the idea for me to start a Mercury Square came from my Guardian Demon.

But letting it out of control, or spending too much time wondering about useless things, is a waste.

Description of the major part of the post-pagan "philosophy"

I am spending time with myself. Practicing my handwriting. 🙂

It has been cautioned before against succumbing to the pollution of the mind, which merely acts as an impediment to progress; In our current era, wisdom is replaced by knowledge, and knowledge is replaced by information, and information is just chunks of data, i.e. fragments of information.

I reached out to my GD and Lord Thoth recently, expressing my concerns about the potential pitfalls of being inundated with fragmented information, which obscures my ability to make clear judgments and attain a deeper understanding.

Thank you, HPS Lydia. It serves as a potent reminder to be discerning about where one invests their time and attention, utilizing both intellect and intuition wisely in the pursuit of deeper understanding. I express gratitude to the Gods of Elysium, and to you our Clergy, for the fortune of being guided and blessed to perceive the Truth.

HAIL ZEUS!

i think this is why Marcus Aurelius talk about not spending your whole life reading books, he knew that not all books are meant for you and also you have to live life. Personally i constantly read the same 1 or 2 books and occasionally read a new one and after it i come back to the same books to integrate those that are really useful.

This reminds me about your previous sermon "Spiritual Reset Day". There's a reason and care why you are hitting on this. And the fact that this can largely affect our growth individually, I'm really going to take this seriously and more steps further.
During this period of doing our God Thoth's Ritual, I began to notice that I really want to close my eyes and imagine or think or talk to myself, the need to close my eyes is really big.

I began to notice how I needlessly look at my phone, so I was telling myself to only use my phone when I need it. For tv, I've not been a fan of it but why watch a football match when I should be using my mind.

I also started noticing how I want to journal more often, so I hv began practicing for some days.
I can feel it and I know it more / more aware that these devices can be something that could slow us down especially used without a purpose to achieve something worthwhile.

I also thought to myself yesterday to delete my game from my phone and focus, that's the only game I got. To sacrifice it for a good future and improvement.

If Lord Thoth is bringing awareness to this and HPS Lydia is too. Then I think HPS Lydia is way ahead and knows what she is saying.

So many times, to bring awareness to fruition, someone has to say it. But I pray I don't have to wait for someone to say it next time.

Thank you HPS LYDIA.

Lydia ..Thanks a tonne ..It would be very useful if you actually record a voice message of munka and keep it public in the forum ..Although I have heard many other voice record of munka here ,but they are not that satisfactory

I respect HPS Lydia" and what she is trying! To share and explain. It"
Is what I need to hear. For my own personal" purpose," To grow! In mind and Spirit. This is good information" to me! And I could use it! To improve" myself! And be a better example to others. Especially! To myself and The Gods.

Apart from another square of Mercury to strengthen it, I have just started a work with the Ansuz rune and the energy of Mercury to strengthen my coordination, which is the aspect of Mercury that I need to improve most.

Thank you dear HPs Lydia.

This topic, gives insight in what kind of caring person you are.

It’s very good feeling to have you as a High Priestess, really.

You bring a lot of warmth and positivity, into this High Priesthood, which looks like always was needed.

I get it

Too long, nobody is gonna read it, especially since it's based on your useless eater outlook of life.

fuck yes dispel phenominal memory and generally will not give a fuck, I speak from personal experience, from birth was driven by parents to study in a special school and only on excellent and I was advised exercises by one teacher, then went even further and began to complicate them and so until I could not learn to memorize from the first time and volumes of information that used to give overload, have become no more than equal to the knowledge of the epaulette for one day than before phenominal memory. only you do not overdo it mind is not a muscle that can be chased for hours, but with due care and preparation dianmi. With the mind you need to be very careful and the load should be constant even and long than something like meditation of emptiness, only not for concentration, but for memory.

I can't thank you enough HPS Lydia, you're sermon was very timely and I needed it, I wish all my brothers and sisters in Satan all the best in every aspect of their lives.

HAIL FATHER SATAN FOREVER!

Thank you Lydia! You are the best. My whole life has been one of asking myself only profound questions; a constant thinker. I'm also extremely empathetic and have always been a mediator and someone who sugar-coats everything. I only look to positive outcomes with the least amount of friction and I avoid confrontation at all costs. I've never even been in a fight, just verbal disputes in the past). I tend to have an internal dislike for labels, titles and the many hierarchies of society. We create our reality, our reality does not create us.

Still, my experience makes me feel like I was born a pacifist and a passive-aggressive individual.

I should forget about these crazy people and focus on myself. Because of xianist programming I tend to question my actions; such as expecting that everyone should have all they need to be happy when they are in fact largely miserable with what appears as split personality and bi-polar states of conscious.

Some people just don't like me and I think that's okay. I only present myself from a place of values and logic while everyone is else only cares about how they present themselves to others and about other people's feelings. I'm simply too honest and compassionate for this world.

It's very challenging but I won't let it bother me. It somewhat comes down to my hypersensitivity, traumas, astrology and so on and I think it's something that I need to constantly work on in myself through meditation.

Thanks for the fantastic post and sorry for raiding the forums with my extensive self-reflections. As much as I'd like our world to be ruled by logic and all things black and white, I feel that that isn't the answer and it only leads to a life of misery. Hence your post here valuing wisdom over knowledge honestly does explain a lot to me and it's helped me not overthink as I tend to do. I should look to values before logic and not conflate the two things.

So basically what your saying is, "I'm gonna read it". I mean you should it's important. It'll teach you and educate you.

I find life in such manner anything wrong with that? If you think my lackluster communication skills is like that. Imagine if I were to get my friend with his language arts skill in black metal mode and communicating to you.

You'd read his bombastic, despondent speech and be even more "WTF?" than my own. If you thought I hate life wait until my friend uses his large vocabulary and big words and makes you want to break down and cry in despair at his vitriol.

If you think I hate life or eat life whatever you said, wait until you meet how much more despondent my friend is.

I don't know why it bothers you. I hate, loathe, despise life. So what? Every Satanist needs to be a holy saint of goodness and no negativity exist?

As Ussop from One Piece said, "I posses a naturally negative personality".

I don't know can't win with you people. Your message almost conveys a message of xtianity in that you believe everything has to be good and we need to be little saints with no mistake. If anything I kinda get the feeling that you posses some sort of perfectionist personality that we need to be good only.

Is Abadon or some entity bad for black magick, destroyer magick, grey magick, death magick, or simply calculating and commanding forces to fight a battle.

I never knew Zevism was about being good and holy and only do good. If anything it seems like your missing out on another whole range of life. I do not view life with rose colored glasses mind you. I view it in a hellscape form.

Didn't Egyptians state you need to be balanced, engage in both the dark and light and everything in between.

*Shrugs*

I don’t want you to think you’re useless around here but this entire sermon is about focusing on and integrating whatever is useful for how to get somewhere like a specific objective/goal.

Ever heard of simplifying your long talks by the way? Not everyone here has the time to read everything you’re trying to convey with those long messages of yours.

...

Jeez, thank you for this amazing post Lydia! It seems like I'm truly not alone and we all face these struggles in ourselves to some degree. It seems common lately I think. Having fully realized this better I can now overcome it and stand in my true self and my true power outside of any fear or doubts that I've created throughout my life.

It's unbelievable to me how I felt so weird/different until now; better recognizing this place where people speak more old-fashioned and have a deep love for old things and our past way of life. As a teen I had this infatuation with Poe and Jules Verne for example. No writers today are quite like ones from the 19th century and prior I feel.

Our connection to the Gods is powerful and I will never see this as a negative thing from this point forward.

I genuinely love and feel inspired by everyone here in a way beyond words. This is a phenomenal time and place to be alive.

i was like "woah, woah, WOAH!" while scrolling down not finding end, and your reaction what so perfect XD
