Zevism stands against every and all enemy dogma. The dogma of the enemy does not provide wisdom, it has no knowledge on how to control anything of a human nature, is anti-human and therefore wants to destroy humanity.
Condemning human nature and dismissing it as "Evil", was the key component to human failure that has fallen upon us in the last 17 to 20 centuries. Contact with wisdom and knowledge was lost, and with it, mankind lost it's path and fell in accelerating speed.
It's now the time and era to reverse this, one individual soul at a time. We heed the advice that saves our own souls, coming from the Gods.
In Zevism there are no fasts, vegeterianisms, celibacy commands, or anything of the sort. None of these are necessary or needed to advance spiritually. On the other hand, Zevism is against stupidity. Part of this stupidity is out lack of understanding of measures, self control, and other similar curlpits of being unwise. That is solved by meditation and understanding.
What we have to keep in mind of, is that so long one is a human being, we have a pool of great potential in our emotions, emotional drives, the drives that are generally called "Lower". Christianity preaches that these are to be attacked and destroyed. This leads to all the destruction that we can observe in the adherents of these programs.
We are alive creatures and we are to remain this way. We are not to become borg or to slay all our emotions and drives. That leads to nullifying one major aspect of the spirit, and it leads to a deficient soul, bringing with it many destructive forces.
Muslims that will behead someone over a disagreement due to barbarous drives out of control, or your average gluttonous christian pedophile "Priest", or your average neurotic family member that never stops promoting Jesus as if it's an STD everyone has to partake into: All of these are the results of extremely repressed, misplaced, and wronged drives.
These types all preached about what was there to do, and not only they never applied what they preach [because it cannot be applied], but in cases they did, they created a nuke inside themselves, leading to personal and social ruin. That is the sureproof way to destroy one's self and one's soul.
The overwhelming neuroticism, stupidity, and savagery of people who follow the enemy programs, how gluttonous and animalistic they are, or how they transform to dead husks, are all notions of the same imbalance that they create through their anti-human practices.
Satanism preaches indulgence, but returning to the point in the above paragraph, stupidity is where we have a red line. One is stupid if they don't understand their limits, or they do things that will be damning to one's self.
The so called "Lower Drives", as psychology also understands, are in many ways the sources or the darker waters that give birth to the so called "Higher Drives". To give a very simple example, the lust of men can be either what makes them cheat or destroy, or it can be a feeling of lust towards women, that when properly controlled, can make someone physically successful in the material or financially, something which will later attract a specific portion of women.
The same feeling of lust, can also give rise to children, or help people bond their relationships. The very same feeling of lust can lead to depletion from overmasturbation, guide someone to stay in a toxic relationship, or cloud one's judgement to the point of grave errors.
This energy is there, no matter what, and propels us to do decisions. We do NOT want to stop this soil from producing fruit perpetually. Instead, we want to give it proper nutrition, cultivation, and throw the correct seeds in the soil, rather than seeds of negativity or destruction. The soil itself is great and not like the enemy dogma preaches. It's the farmer's stupidity or neglect that causes the problems here.
What most people think here is that if one reads something about how to control these passions, it's actually going to change anyone.
Reading my posts here, or accepting knowledge I or other wise people might offer someone, a friend or a teacher, or anyone, does not really put these drives in their place. It can help your mind understand what you need to do, but application and control are up to you.
An example of a drive here is gluttony. Let us assume that someone is gluttonous. First of all, in Zevism there is no fundamental shame, nor we expect people to be saints. We just do our best here to be in the most empowering route of harmony and balance.
This religion is the one and real religion of Mankind, the core of all Ancient religions, and the Gods are not against human nature. Rather, the Gods and the Demons instruct us on how to learn to be better humans and reach higher states of fulfillment.
One way to manage addictions or things like gluttony, is to turn these drives towards another direction. A person who is very gluttonous, if they combine this with excessive physical training, will get mass and power from this endeavor. If a person is addicted to learning [which I honestly can't call a "Drive"], but suffers financially, this emotional need can be turned into the direction where this might produce wealth or in a wealth generating field.
The case however when these drives can be made into a unified and working whole, is not always. Many people are gluttonous, and this gluttony is already leading someone to obesity, and one may not plan to exercise for example. Or one may be too obese and therefore they need to do very soft exercise first.
In this case, we do not get better by by trying to bring up exercise to the level of gluttony, and the more one has went towards the end of imbalance, the more these inner drives need to be restrained to return things to normal. One may need as it's obvious, to decrease this drive, upper another drive to exercise, and other drives need to keep this one in check.
These drives in the Ancient Schools were symbolized by animals. For example, bulls or oxen were normally used to symbolize these drives. Like bulls of oxen, these drives do not always listen to common sense. This is where a whip or a fence may be needed, to restrain these forces in, eventually training them to work for you rather than against you.
Like animals however, if these forces are not fed, they can break the stables and destroy your life. Alternatively, if you have spoiled these drives to no end, the oxen and the bulls might be so well fed, that they will literally take down your house to eat you and your family alive. Even worse, when these drives are fed and left out of control completely, they can kill a whole village. You ever seen what happens in Spain in case a Taurus escapes? People hide in their houses.
In the above example, sedation of specific urges might be needed to get past them and drive these animals back to the zoo. The animal is your drive, let us say boredom. In this case, you must strike it on the head by doing what you need to do regardless of it's existence. That will be your whip.
Eventually as you whip boredom and lazyness, you will notice that it attacks you back. That's where you must keep whipping it. Commonly, taking control of these drives can be as if one is in a war of sorts. And that is really a form of war against our own inner rebellious energies.
Now, just whipping let's say the boredom, is not going to do anything. What you need to do after you whip it, is bring this animal into a stable. The stable must be accustomed to it's needs, and it must be taken care of. In a non metaphor, to control this drive, you will need to provide for it a good goal, an environment in which it can work, something that is pleasing to it - let's say replacing the boredom in your life with an activity you find interesting.
If this is not done, then the drive will keep returning. In fact, most of our human drives on a lower level, are irrational like animals. In the same way, they have to be treated when they are on their coarse and lower state.
The way to control these on the lower state, is by repetition and self control. Repetition here is very important, and was called in Ancient Greek schools as "Exis". This "Exis" means something you are already used in doing. It is the habitual repetitive practice. This is powerful enough to defeat all kinds of addictions, properly attunate passions, and make control of animal drives.
Naturally the mind also works in the same way. The properly awakened mind, instead of being at the mercy of it's own whims, becomes like an animal trainer and later on a charioteer. After the mind is awakened and controlled, it can gain the respect and loyalty of these drives, which will operate under the control of the liberated mind.
Then, the same horse or oxen that was razing your life and village, is actually going to become your best friend. They will carry your chariot or your farming equipment, while you will enjoy fruits out of their labor. In the same way, when emotional control is established, these drives that were once dangerous and these addictions that were once negative, will become your friends.
Due to many people here being seekers and having been presented with false knowledge, the drive for example towards spirituality, has had many people do drugs that were not necessary. These weaken the person, but if one can establish control and move away from these, and properly attunate one's need for spiritual advancement away from this negative vice, then this same thirst for spiritual stimulation, can become one's best friend towards advancing spiritually.
Likewise, people who have very strong bulls or oxen, capable of destroying their garden and possibly village, IF these people manage to get control of these urges, they can achieve a lot of things. Since this can be difficult sometimes, people may be hesitant, but it's perfectly doable.
Meditation, cleaning the soul and void meditation, do help in creating control of these things. You will notice that unavoidably, as you meditate, you will start becoming aware of flaws and other necessary things for your transformation. This knowledge, when it's put into your life through the mechanism of "Exis" or applied repetition, will help you advance not only spiritually but as a character and person. This applied in the correct and the proper direction, over time, leads to advancement and enlightenment.
Except of menial control of these drives and using one's willpower to say no, or even say "yes" sometimes, there are also the meditative ways such as long-term workings to advance one's self. These will help you but you will still have to do the behavior and self control part.
There are also many cases where one has to let go and let out. An example here would be a person who has been anorexic or eats so much less than necessary. In this case, it's not the whip that one must take to control the animal, but actually lure these drives with food and abundance, to get them back to an active state. One judges which direction has to go, based on the wisdom they have. Meditation increases wisdom.
Knowing the above should help one understand better how to deal with these drives in a technical way or behavioral way. One important thing to do is also tailor workings around these things. As the laws of the universe have it, certain bad habits can be bad, but I have good news for you: based on the mechanisms of the mind itself, all negative habits can be eliminated, as much as they can get created. There is therefore no negative habit that can lord over you eternally, and you can definitely remove it if you want.
The cycles to remove these should be as follows, and are affected directly with your willpower. An advanced willpower, can stop doing things immediately and keep at that. But that is very rare, because it has to be trained to be that powerful.
A typical 40 day working to remove a medium level addiction, can work. Going to two 40 days working, there can be more effects. At three, even more. But I write this to finally get into the number 6. The number six alongside many of it's other qualities, is a number of healing.
In English, it's still called Six, while in Ancient Greek it was called Exi, which has to do with the word I explained above, "Exis", meaning repetition.
If you do 6x40 day workings, even very big addictions and very big obstacles in your path, are going to disappear or be minimized to a manageable state. This could be done over a recurring period, such as let's say 240 days. As you can see the 6x40 still adds up to the 240 days. For the heaviest addictions, this can be a potent noose to put on them, that will subject them.
While might look like a "Long time", but some really ingrained out of control things, might need even one or two of these cycles in a lifetime. There can be heavy karmic energy involved here that needs to be removed. What is for sure, if one does the workings and also does the necessary actions during them, even the worst cases and worst addictions can be eventually brought under control.
For small issues, such as let's say you are in good shape, everything is fine, but you need to go to the gym, but you aren't because you are not into it, it's after 6 sessions or 6 days that you will find the first level of advancement and start thinking about leaving the state of not going behind. As the 6 level cycles multiply upon themselves, you will feel more and more going away from laziness or the previous state of not doing something. At 6 months, this is also a strong checkpoint, and then 240 days.
Lastly, the 360 which is 60-6 day circles, you can tell yourself you have finally changed your habits. Also, you will be completely changed by this time in regards to a habit or have strongly moved away from an addiction etc etc. If something is maintained for 6 years, you can safely say that this is now a part of "You" in the deeper layers of your character.
Point being here, all you need to change things that you want in yourself, is your time, doing a working, doing this for a long period of time, and doing what is necessary on your personal behavior to change your route. If you maintain the above you can change your "path", which is also indirectly linked to changing your Karma, which is also indirectly expressed by the number 6 in many cases. The same karmic forces that have brought you here, can also be used with the proper control to get you, and permanently, out of problematic situations.
