We’re truly blessed, dear Zevists, and what was shared with us in HoO makes me excited about life itself [hopefully soon enough everyone in the Temple will have the opportunity to read it too].
I really like the description of the Book as a manual of reality and understanding, because what we understand about the Gods also affects how we understand ourselves and our place in the world. I tell you each passage gives us something to think about. As we follow the connections, meditate, we may begin to understand how an idea applies to several parts of our lives.
Out of all questions my attention went to Q's 51 to 53
Does the Golden Book replace Meditation and practice?
If I read the Golden Book, am I elevated?
What are the dimensions of the Zevist path?
It makes me think about how we recognise our own advancement. We can consider how we respond when someone frustrates us, or whether we keep up with our responsibilities when we would much rather do something else. When a habit keeps returning, understanding what we are doing and why gives us somewhere to begin working on it. We had been shown bits and pieces of this through good examples from other people’s lives and philosophy, but trying to make sense of it all had begun to feel tiring.
The book names the Way. The Zevist walks it.
Personally, I cannot wait to spend more time with the Book as life develops and gives me more experience to understand it through. I imagine returning to a passage after some years and recognising how much I can finally grasp, and how many more questions I’ll have! 🤩Long after we’re gone this divine work will still be here for Zevists and other humans to read and understand through their own lives, their development.
Thank you High Priest Zevios Metathronos! Be eternally blessed.
