Is it OK to feel sad ? & Satisfaction

[sotem]

Title is self-explanatory, but I want to go into details.

Are we, the Zevism, who are the least childish and most conscious portion of people, meant to feel positive, strong, hold our heads high all the time ?

When some reason, some misfortune, the truth, hits hard, are we to always stay calm ignoring the bad feeling ?

Whenever I feel sadness, I make it go deeper, I let it flow like a river, sometimes I cry. But then, I become wiser, more sensible, more understanding.

When I feel the pain, the sadness, I notice how intense it is, how deep I can feel. Then I think "I'm a creature that is able to reside such deep feelings". I remember that I have emotions. It's like I step into a different realm. Everything is
aesthethic and touching in a different way as it is in happiness either. I internalize that environment. And it makes me feel so good. I feel satisfaction the same way when I'm happy. I go better instead of go lower. Then that pain, the sadness goes away and satisfaction continues. I don't feel any repression. I don't feel bad about that thing again.

It's like it gets fixed by itself. But when it isn't, I work to fix it. Pain comes again in the process of working more than once, and I do the same thing until it is completely and eternally fixed. When you work for something, you suffer, you sacrifice, but when you feel satisfacted from the awareness of working, they don't matter. That satisfaction speeds up the process.

Satisfaction and happiness aren't the same thing. Satisfaction is better than constant happiness. Always being happy and positive doesn't sound natural to me. There's pain, suffering, longing around. They come and go. When they come, I intensify and examine it under control, avoiding doing something stupid. I get wiser whilst doing it.

What do you think ?

 

[High Priest Zevios Metathronos]

We are not robots so we are not supposed to be any way specifically. Sadness and everything else is fine. The states of sadness can sometimes be productive in self realization etc, but one must not allow this to get them into a depressed state which one gains nothing from.

For a human to be healthy they have to have all these emotions. A general positive and productive mindset is however the best.

 

[Priest - Alexandros Iowno]

The key is equilibrium, and to allow yourself to be sad, happy etc, with a voluntary "When and How much". To be happy is a skill as well as being sad, in terms of self-contemplation in the realization of it.

Knowing yourself you know your own pulse in these states, so knowing yourself you improve yourself dealing with these states. You do not change the reaction of yourself that causes these states but only how you manage yourself in those states.

There really isn't an ok or not ok in this you feel what you feel. Just go with what you feel unless your feeling like harming yourself or something.

I personally feel kind of a sadness more about the state the world is in but I feel happy and mostly satisfied at the same time about my own life. So this is possible.

If Nature gives you things, then use those things. Obviously and of course it's OK, but there is no "permission" to be emotional.

There is something called Samsara. This is the feeling of cyclicality that you experience when you put Suffering and Happiness in perspective. Because Human consciousness is trapped within the mind, we are unable to oftentimes put things into perspective. And because of this, most humans are generally unaware of what's going on in their lives. They are simply acting on impulse and are rationalizing it through the higher brain.

But if you are special, you start to put things into perspective and realize the transience of live. All the experiences of your life have already been experienced by you in varying degrees in your previous lifetimes. You have fallen in love, you have hated something or someone, you've been devoted, you've been lazy ,you experienced all the emotions of life that is possible currently in your life.

At this point an individual faces the existential depression of the soul ,that was phased out through the human world and its emotions before. You start looking at the abyss and the abyss starts looking back at you ,as Nietzsche said. You start asking questions like "Why am i doing this, what's the point ,I've done this many a times before."

You can then either turn into a philosopher and end up wasting another lifetime, or you can gain a Will to Power through Yoga and actually do something about this Samsara.

Every person has the power to transcend the duality of this life and liberate Himself through the Cyclical process of reincarnation through Yoga. You can accept life as it is, and strive towards the real issue and fixing it.

The serpent is the Answer.

That's a comment of quality. Thank you.

Your instinct is right that natural things are usually good for us, but it's not guaranteed, and the yehuborim use this fallacy to promote drugs being OK, etc, because they are natural.

You can either smoke marijuana or make paper out of marijuana to print Al-Jilwah.

I don't think there is an exact black-and-white, one-size-fits-all, clear-cut answer. Of course germs are Natural. I should have been clearer - meaning that for us to be able to, and actually, advance, it is/should be unnatural for us to have unhealthy germs, given our purpose and Satan and the Gods' and Goddesses' intentions for us to be healthy and strong. ("Good bacteria", which exist, was a slogan in an advert for pro-biotic drinks.) Also along the lines of positive affirmations, while also not deluding ourselves, we speak positivity into us repeatedly. It's also for the healthy Psychological impact it has upon us.
