You probably gave to it as well as many other “reputable” members here, but are too embarrassed to admit it, because it would expose your farce of being advanced and high intuition.
You may think this would expose anything, but it doesn't really change any reality.
Intuition or not, people can make mistakes. I am not yet a god, and have made retarded mistakes in the past, mostly due to being emotionally affected by things.
Intuition is something which is build upon. There are other personal factors which affect this, uncontrolled emotional states are one of these things which can blind you.
Of course, a truly advanced person, like HP Zevios, or Lydia would not be affected by such things, however at that time I was not yet infallible on this front.
Why would I be afraid to admit that? What would that change about me? Nothing really, only that even if one does do extensive work to improve on many aspects, one must never take it for granted because one can still make a retarded mistake if they let their emotions get the better of them.
My intuition is overall quite good, however I have never claimed it to be perfect or infallible. That said, I agree 100% this is a very avoidable error, and certainly something excessively stupid.
The reason many ended up wasting money to this scam is that the empathy and worry for a fellow Zevism had blinded people, causing impulsive actions to be taken which resulted in ridiculous mistakes.
Zola had done quite a lot of work behind the scenes in chatting with people to appear as a positive and friendly person.
Many people did think she was off in some way, however, exactly in what way and to what extend did come as a surprise to many people due to not looking deeper into this at the time.
Unfortunately I was indeed foolish to let my emotions get the better of me. Good for you that you didn't.
Intuition has multiple parts to it. Even if one picks up on something, one must be able to recognize this. The mind can be influenced by parts of the self to disregard ones intuition if one is not careful, or if something causes a sufficiently impactful emotional response.
Sometimes a person needs to learn this the hard way, by making a mistake which makes one aware of this vulnerability in the most direct way.
I could have easily avoided this had I not let my emotions blind me, since I did pick up on this situation intuitively, however I ended up being impulsive in the moment, for which I only have myself to blame.
I don't feel it shameful or otherwise to mention about this, since it is a lesson that could help other people.
I would also take this moment to mention that advancement is not always uniform.
A person may have great advancement in some ways, but be lacking in others, part of advancement is to recognize this and raise up the unstable and weaker part of the self to reach a harmonious state.
In the same way one may know very well, and always know what should be said, but not always be able to follow through on ones own advice or knowledge due to lacking in the ability to act on the level of ones knowledge.
Egregious mistakes are to be avoided, unfortunately however sometimes it can still happen.
When it does happen it says more about the person on how they handle this and what they do afterwards to learn and grow from said mistake than the mistake itself.
Hail Satan!
