In embarking on our spiritual journey through Zevism there are many times we will find periods of doubt and discouragement when it comes to our spells, workings and carrying about our goals. It's important for us to never lose sight of perseverance, will and initiative and where these things can take us. Of course there can be delays and periods of lag on the road for spiritual transformation.
On the subject of meditation, spells, magick/witchcraft, spiritual workings, psychic work and visualization, it is very easy to have doubt, lose or lack faith in our abilities and I know there are many of you who might still be having these problems in varying degrees, especially when beginning Zevism and opening and exercising the mind.
How many of you make affirmations and put energy towards manifesting things and actually believe it and *KNOW* that it will happen?
The power is in the KNOW. When applying energy and mental techniques to bring about change, trying too hard can be distracting and can cause doubts. Subconscious blocks can negate and hinder your workings: "Am I doing this wrong?", "Can I really do this?", "Will this really happen?"
Thoughts such as those already show some lack of faith.
I know it's easy to feel doubt and that a dire and time sensitive issue can make one anxious and worry but having any doubt will work against the success of your magick. No matter what, keep going and applying that energy, be patient and do not stress yourself over the results either.
Some of you have mentioned that there is a difficulty in visualizing…
You already can visualize. You do it everyday when you think of things and so on. The problem people have with visualization is that they take it too seriously and try to see all the details when you really should have fun with it and be relaxed.
For example, when people think about the Sun, they automatically get an imagine in the mind of it and it's brightness. That is all one needs initially. It is when you "zoom in" and try to visualize all the details of it that it gets frustrating.
When visualizing, pretend and know within your mind that the details have already been handled.
In going about our workings, in most cases, the mind will treat a visualization or visualized event as if it has already taken place and happened.This is why it is easier to manifest things easily after raising our energies (extra energy to fuel the thought.) This of course is how witchcraft works.
The above also applies to how we see ourselves and how we should work to change ourselves for the better. Each and every one of you should realize the God and Goddess within yourselves. Concerning your spiritual elevation, reach Godhead mentally first. Do not *try* or plan to reach Godhead and spiritual advancement, know that you are already there. It doesn't have to be out of reach...or *hard* to obtain...
The power is in the *know*
Let this change happen mentally so that it can effect the astral and the physical.
Thoughts carry the energy and you have your soul-- the super powered electro-magnetic battery that drives your workings. Keep this in mind when doing any workings or "power thinking."
And with our empowering meditations and Rituals, you can't go wrong- the sky is the limit!
Have faith in your powers. The Gods have faith in us. Our Gods who are superior beings have been throwing supportive and powerful energies towards us in favor of our success. They are cheering us on, they are on our sides. We are connected to them, and they to us.
Our connection with the true Gods are more than just mutual acknowledgement. It's no coincidence that our lives and characters change even just from doing the dedication and coming to Zevism. We are exposed to that benevolent satanic energy. Let's use/tap into and harness their energies and work to bring about Satan's kingdom on earth.
In closing, don't forget to keep applying your aura of protection. Not only does it work to protect you but it makes more effective the protective energies that the Gods have already put on us.
