My First Donation to the Temple of Zeus

AvatarMarsUltor6664 min to read

First of all, I would like to say a big thank-you to everybody who worked on the recent upgrades. The new forums look amazing and beautiful.

So... I wanted to write this post to share something with the community. I know I don't really post much here; I have always been very introverted and reserved, and I have had a habit of avoiding communication with people. I would like to change this, and to become more involved in this community. Therefore, I thought writing about this would be a great start.

Donating was something that had been on my mind for several months. Truth be told, I had always really wanted to, but I was very nervous at the thought of using crypto. I'll be honest: I was completely put-off by the amount of documentation required by exchanges. I found the thought of this to be intrusive, and I was very uncomfortable with providing what they ask for. I said in the past: "If I could just donate with cash, I would."

Despite this, however, the thought, the urge, the pull, whatever I could call it, was always there to donate. And yet, donating kind of just stayed there, on my "to do" list. "Oh, I will get to it later." "Sometime later". So on and so forth...

But then, fast forward a few months, and I see an announcement for a new Sermon by High Priest Zevios Metathronos, in Vultus Templorum. It was late, and I was tired, and I wanted to go to bed. "I'll read it tomorrow", I thought. However, something, just something... was telling me: "No. You need to read this, NOW". Something to this extent. Basically, I had a inexplicably-strong urge to read it. I just had to... I almost felt like I was being summoned.

So, I did, and as I was reading it, it was like a fire was being lit inside me. I cannot describe it in words. I felt the strongest pull towards something. The words written by High Priest had such a powerful effect on me.

And then, when I finished, I said to myself: "Time for me to stop making excuses. Just do it". So... I did it. The account registration, the verification, setting up the wallet. Everything through to making the payment.

Now, I am very pleased to say: I have made my first donation to the Temple of Zeus. It took me long enough, but I always knew deep down that some day, I would become a donor; this day has finally come, and it feels good.

Don't be afraid of submitting documents for verification to exchanges. Consider it no different from opening a bank account, and chances are, if you've ever rented an apartment, taken out insurance, or done something similar, you'll have had to follow a similar process, anyway. It's just the way things are, these days. Personally, I chose to withdraw the funds I purchased from the exchange to my own personal wallet (Trust, Exodus, etc.), and then donate to the Temple from that.

Now, I also want to say this: since my donation, I have felt something change inside of me. I had always seen people saying this in the forums, but now, I can confirm it is indeed true and very much real.

I feel the presence of the Gods, more, Their Rituals feel much more powerful, and I feel like I am much more open to Their signs and communications. I also feel more of a connection to my Family, here at the Temple of Zeus. I feel something so immensely profound and powerful, and such a strong energy and awareness within me. It really feels like a blessing.

So, I would like to say to everybody who hasn't yet donated, for the same reasons I had, or similar: don't be afraid, and just do it. Supporting the Temple is honestly the best thing a Zevist can do. After reading High Priest's Sermon, and listening to the recent AMAs, I think one should realise: it's time for action, and that time is now. Please do not just take my word for how it feels. Do it. Do it, and find out for yourself.

Finally, I would like to close this with a huge thank-you to High Priest Zevios Metathronos, and to the Clergy and Guardians, and to all my brothers and sisters. I am honestly so grateful for everything you do, and I thank you all for everything. I really feel blessed to be a part of this Temple.

Hail Zeus

Congratulations family 🥳

I can relate to your initial hesitation

I think many can.

This mentality can be limiting and you overcame it like a boss 🔥

If everybody emulates this

Then there is no limit to what we can accomplish ⚡️

You have done a very honorable thing, brother. Keep up the good work, the Gods see all our deeds, no matter how small. I urge other members reading this who are afraid because of using crypto because they think it is intrusive or complicated, it is not, unless you come from a country where this is dangerous. You just need to push through the initial resistance. The first time is always the hardest, later you will not even stop to think about it and you will do it as easily as you would transfer a money in a normal banking app.

Congratulations brother, may you be blessed for this.

Supporting the Temple during this transition into a new era of our religion is paramount, and every contribution, small or great, will be remembered, and have a hand in changing the course of history.

Thank you for sharing and congratulations ⚡️. I still remember fondly my first donation to the Temple.

We have guidance available on crypto and how to open an account. Yes, it does take time, but once you’ve done it, it becomes much easier going forward. For everyone reading, you must understand that every donation makes a difference. If you think 5 or 10 is too small to matter, imagine 10,000 people giving that same amount. That’s the power of numbers.
