We are witnessing something of extraordinary significance within the Temple of Zeus. The Golden Book is now living and I feel profoundly blessed to be here at this moment in history. When I first found the spiritual home of Zevism, I knew I would encounter the magnificence of Zeus and the Gods. I knew there was something great waiting to be discovered, but I could never have imagined that I would one day witness something of this magnitude. There is nothing else in the world that can be compared to this Book. Its scope, its depth and the significance of what it represents are beyond anything I could have imagined. And, also, the timing of these events, the way everything has come together, feels almost miraculous and divine to me. It fills me to the core, I am awestruck.
The magnificence of the Book itself is leading me to consider the place we now occupy within a much greater history. For aeons upon aeons, generations of men and women have cared for the Gods, sought Their wisdom, fought, died and lived for Them, devoting their heart and soul to loving and honoring Them. They all and us are part of the same enduring and supernal Path. The Kosmos of Zeus. I am wondering what they would feel if they could witness this moment. I believe they would look upon it with profound wonder and joy, seeing that the path they walked has continued, and that generations after them are still striving to draw closer to the Gods.
Plato, in Laws (IV, 715e), recalls an ancient saying:
“God holds the beginning, the end, and the center of everything that exists”.
These words make me think that our lives under Zeus and us as His emanations, and also our efforts, belong to something supernal and they transcend space and time. I imagine this as a golden thread extending across aeons, connecting all those who have loved the Gods and contributed, in their own time, to this eternal path. A thread that unites us through something greater than ourselves. We are part of it. Those who came before us have left their mark upon this path, and those who come after us will inherit what we guard and pass on.
The Golden Book is now living and has now been entrusted to us. This is a glorious honor, but also a responsibility; we must become its guardians and raise like an aegis in its defense, a shield protecting what has been placed in our hands. We honor the Golden Book with noble heart, sincere dedication, and the reverence it deserves, studying its teachings, guard it, and ensuring that it can be transmitted into the future.
I think that by safeguarding this godly work with a noble heart, we also undertake a process of elevation ourselves. We cannot expect to grasp its full depth immediately, it will take time, even multiple lifetimes, but we should accept and allow its teachings to transform us, expand our understanding, and push us beyond the boundaries we have not yet overcome.
I wish I had the power to move people's hearts and souls, to make everyone understand the full significance of what we are witnessing. But I know that this understanding will also grow through time, through our efforts, through our guardianship and through the work of generations to come. And our unity as a Community and Family in the Gods.
I find myself deeply moved by what we are witnessing. To live through such a moment, to be here and to have the blessing of receiving something so immense and divine, is a grace beyond anything I could adequately express in words.
May we prove worthy of this trust, worthy of receivig the Golden Book. May we guard this sacred work with noble hearts, follow the Path of the Gods that connects us to those who came before and those who will follow, and ensure that this light continues to shine through generations yet to come.
Glory to the ancient and supernal Gods, glory to Zeus, and my deepest gratitude to High Priest Zevios Metathronos for making this extraordinary moment possible and for the light and wisdom he has brought into our lives and into the world!
From this day forward, we live with the awareness and the knowledge that the course of world history has changed forever.
Ἀρετή καὶ Τιμή
Dove l'essenza dell'esistenza risiede
Il nulla dell'oblio viene superato
E il figlio prode avanza verso la Vittoria.
