Life is a War: Fitness as a concept of preparing for War

AvatarAquarius2 min to read

Life can be compared to a literal war.

We don't know what life has in store in our individual lives. We don't know who we're gonna meet, the situations we're gonna be in.

The majority of the population is totally vulnerable to the unexpected. But we Zevists have the gift of having been reminded of our consciousness.
We can prepare physically, mentally and spiritually.

You are all soldiers in your life that is a war, some more prepared for this war, some less.
But by raising your consciousness you're gonna be reminded to always be prepared.

Personally, I see fitness as a physical way to prepare for this war that is life.
I must be honest, fitness can be hard.

Running at 6 AM in the morning is not exactly everyone's cup of tea, but what does it teach you?
Discipline, perseverance, but the most undervalued and not discussed, pain tolerance.

Life is gonna be full of pain, if you learn to deal with that pain, you're gonna be ahead of everything and everyone.
And this is not just limited to running, but also calisthenics, weight training, and the like.

Being able to do 500 body weight squats in a row is not equal to lifting a lot of weight, it's much more painful as a process and requires much more discipline.
It conditions the body in a way that is hero like, You're never gonna have cardio problems at that point, but also your body will be much strong and athletic, ready to deal with all adversities of life.

I'm a big fan of endurance in sports, because it trains the mind like no other thing, it makes you hard to kill.

It embodies the warrior soul, which is what we Zevists strive to be.

Be prepared for this war, and don't fall victim to the adversities of it.

You can do it.

Running at 6 am is useless for every reason unless you want to be a cyclist or some sort of professional athlete that requires other level of cardio. Weightlifting is fine for aesthetic reasons but notice how animals do not exercise and some sleep up to 16 hours a day.
True permanent transformation comes from changing your genetic imprint with the practices. But you can lift some weights for some temporary muscle mass to raise your happiness levels.

I was yet to hear that people run at 6 am to become cyclists.

The things that you learn every day!

100%. Nothing trained my will like intense physical exercise, planks above all. You can tell yourself you're tough all you want, but when you're in that pain where you feel like you can't push anymore and it's extremely intense, that's where the truth is revealed and I love this. It's very underrated how physical exercise strengthens the spirit and therefore increases self confidence.

I train 3 times a week. Typically weight lifting and cardio. I am slowly trying to do more, but my other obligations are impediments. However, it is extremely rewarding as is.

One thing I want to ask is if you could clarify your position on "life as a war".

I did not immediately agree with that statement, for I interpreted it as the assumption that life itself is at odds with you, but I don't think that is the case. Rather, we are at war with ourselves reacting to life. Especially seeing as life, as in our lives, can be both decaying or generative. So, to me, life is war in as much as we are war with ourselves, which is generally the case as we reach towards the Godhead with all the forces of nature that attempt to keep us down.

Is this what you meant?

I'm curious to see your thoughts, brother.

Yes, sit around like a potato and "transform".

Let us know when you're done!

It's not useless at all, it builds a tremendous amount of discipline. Is it absoultely necessary? No. But to say it's useless is wrong.

You are soooo sure about that. Maybe you should make more posts about feet. Thats what should be taken seriously.
I got good memory.
I guess one cant get give their opinion without being insulted here.
There is a reason you still call guys pencil necks online and run at 6 am. Because you need to make up for something you dont trully have. So you dismiss anyone coming into this forum sharing experiences as nutjobs. But this falls inline with your pointless posts over the years.

Perhaps if your replies were more respectful and coherent, then you would be treated as someone worthy to have a discussion with.
But the way you pose yourself is that of a troll, so until then, you will be treated as such.

The fuck...Where was I ever disrespectful?
Feet lover boi disrespects me first then accuses me of being disrespectful. You are actually going to pull some crazy mental gymnastics in your reply. Because Im absolutely sure I never disrespected anyone. Maybe you are talking about my 2019 account where I successfully predicted most of the Temple of Zeus leadership at the time would leave. Or my "racist" views.

I don't understand what your problems are with running in the morning or with feet.

If instead of putting your time and courage into complaining about Aquarius unnecessarily, you would actually go for a run, you would be at a better physical level by now.

Also consider starting to pay respect to a member who actively works for ToZ, and who on top of that contributes posts that are actually helpful.

A day without exercise leaves me feeling less alive;

Same for me. Even just a quick workout when short on time makes me feel more alive and makes the rest of the day better.

Movement is a literal necessity. Better blood flow means better qi flow.

Do you have any tips for improving in running? I need to be able to do 2 km in less than 10 min.

For the time being, I have managed to create a route close to home with which I do the 2 km. Since I haven't run for years, since I used to play sports a long time ago, and it wasn't my favourite thing anyway. I can do 300-400 m in a row.

For the moment I run 300 m, then I walk, run another 300 m, walk and run another 300 m. I have noticed that the third time is easier.

For the moment I have done about 7 runs, every day except Saturday, Sunday and rainy days. I also wanted to ask for advice on how to deal with the wind, and in summer the unbearable heat.

Odd... the other text didn't appear. I agree with all your responses here.

In that last part I think he's referring to some studies that show how DNA activity can adjust slightly so that our bodies adapt to the changes that come from exercise (such as muscular, nervous and skeletal development). It doesn't change the entire DNA blueprint though and thus is based in epigenetics and not actual genetics.

Great comment BTW!

"Animals don't exercise...and?" A person of few words. I like it!

These comparisons are pointless indeed as different animals have a completely different physiology and thus needs to us humans. Our closest relatives (primates) on the other hand are very active in the wild. All animals exert a lot more energy to survive than we humans do in general. Even cats, we just domesticated them too much and made them behave more like us based in being bred into that environment. Farm cats for example are vastly different to house cats living in a city. They still are more active than most humans IMO.

Fitness and exercise is key to a healthy body, soul, mind all round. Like HPS Pythia said in one of her sermons. Someone that does physical exercise will make allot of progress much faster. Martial arts is a great way to get fit as well, as this teaches many things beyond the physical especially if you get into the internal side of it like Qi Gong.

I know Qi Gong and yoga differ but I have utilized Qi Gong breathing techniques and mudra's to increase my health, lower my blood pressure, increase my focus and energy sensitivity and life-force overall.

I started to 40 day meditation program set out by HP Zevios Metathronos and my mind is clearer, days going better, more confident and less negative thoughts and this is only the beginning.

I'm not an expert at running, when I run I usually just push myself if I want more and never ever stop until I'm done. As for the weather, when it's raining it's great because it makes me fresher, when it's hot I just run in shorts(also keep in mind I run in sandals, not "normal" shoes.

When running, try and relax as if in meditation, free your mind, breath with your nose.

I've read that if you want to run faster, ideally you build the steady base of being able to run slow for some km, then you can start adding speed to that. If you're in a rush I don't really know what to suggest, as I run instinctively and don't really care about goals in it.

Are you retarded too or did you miss the part where it was aquarius who atacked me first.
My physical condition is fine.

If you don't want to be "attacked", which is just me saying not to take you seriously, then act like a decent person and post coherent posts, not gibberish.
