The Light

AvatarAndranox2 min to read

Greetings Family in Zeus.

I decided I needed to write this all out here, and maybe it will help someone else who has felt something similar.

I've made quite a few mistakes in my life, and lately I've felt lost, not knowing if forgiveness exists, whether the Gods would accept me. These feelings consumed me more and more with each passing day. Negative emotions have a tendency to pull you deeper and deeper into yourself, further from the light.

Thanks to this place and the Gods, I found that very light, even in utter darkness, and the Gods did not abandon me. Once again, I'm reminded that the Gods are always with their people, sometimes it may not be so visible, sometimes you may feel sorrow and loneliness, as though you're alone or have been abandoned, but I've personally been reminded once again that the Gods are here, now.

I've taken a lesson from this, and that lesson is about kindness and humanity. In the modern world, many have grown used to cruelty, and cruelty has almost become something normal, and I was filled with that feeling too, but when I saw the kindness of the Gods and the kindness of the people of the Gods, something awoke in me that I had been suppressing for a long time, a bright and warm light.

I want to express my gratitude to the Gods, to the Priesthood, and to our community.

Hail Queen Astarte! Hail Father Ares! Hail Lord Set!

Thank you for sharing with us.

I think it is important to remember that making mistakes and going through dark periods does not mean that we are beyond forgiveness or unworthy of the Gods. What truly matters is what we choose to do with our experiences, how we learn from them, and whether we find the strength to keep walking forward, even when the path seems difficult.

Sometimes, when we are overwhelmed by our own thoughts and emotions, it becomes difficult to see the light that is still there. That is why kindness, understanding, and the presence of people who genuinely care can mean so much.

I am genuinely glad that you have found this light again through the Gods and our Community. I hope you will continue to nurture it within yourself and allow it to guide your actions, because the kindness we receive can become the kindness we offer to others.

May we never forget how much a single act of kindness can mean to someone who is struggling, nor underestimate the difference we can make simply by being there for one another.

May the Gods continue to guide and strengthen you on your Path 🙏🏻🏛

Brother,

Im glad you have felt the light and the love of the Gods. There are some dark time in our life and its easier to keep negativity in our mind than to clear them out. And the more we dwell on that negativity, the more negative we dip into.

Let this message be a spark for anyone else that can't see the light at this moment.

Nice to have you with us.

I'm happy that you found your way through such a difficult period. I think it's important to remember that the Gods' wisdom and understanding far surpass what we humans can comprehend. They understand our nature, our weaknesses, our struggles and our capacity to learn and improve. We should be careful not to project our own guilt and insecurities onto Them, assuming that because we struggle to forgive ourselves, the Gods must feel the same way.

Unless we're speaking of truly grave wrongdoing, I see no reason to believe that our mistakes alone would make the Gods reject us, especially when we sincerely recognise them and work towards becoming better people.

When we're surrounded by harshness for long enough, it's easy to begin treating others the same way without even recognising how much we've changed. I'm glad that the kindness you've experienced among our community has helped you recognise this in yourself.

Remorse has its purpose, but it should lead us towards correcting our actions rather than endlessly condemning ourselves. We cannot change what we've done in the past, but we can make amends where possible, learn from our mistakes and allow those experiences to shape us into better people.

I believe one of the most meaningful ways to honour the kindness we've received is to extend it to others. The patience and understanding we offer one another can make a genuine difference, as your own experience shows.

May the Gods continue to guide you, brother!

Thank You very much, NG Persephone!

I often used to project my emotions onto the Gods, as you described, and fortunately I'm gradually stopping that and opening myself up to the Gods, since I am human and imperfect, and the beauty of being human lies in understanding one's mistakes and, despite them, having the strength to acknowledge them and, most importantly, to act.

I wish You all the best🙏🏻

This is the targeted message.

Thank you for opening up Brother Andranox 🙏 sharing your experience will definitely help many others, who may also feel alone, to recognise that there is connection always to be found.

Connection here in our community leads to truer self-connection when we accept the ways that we are all here in this world to heal. Just because we are a social species doesn't make us perfect at it from the go, but it means we can learn what it takes to connect, communicate effectively, realise sometimes others do truly intend the best for us, to grow, and that we are deserving of mutual respect and consideration. It can be challenging and tricky but it's worth the effort that it takes, in our design, we can all get there together 🔥 The road is the length of a lifetime, so we have plenty of time to learn 🙏

When I encountered our community, I realised that I would have to leave behind all previous conceptions I took from a world that was without the Gods. Nothing prepared me for the genuine love I found here. We understand that we should all strive to replicate and bring it forth through ourselves, even if it takes a lifetime to do perfectly, there is no greater endeavour.

And I'm grateful to You for Your reply, NG Astrid.

I felt that this needed to be shared with the Family, and maybe for someone it will be a sign too. I also can't imagine my life without the Gods, if I were given a choice between living without the Gods or not living at all, I would choose not to live at all, since the Gods are what make life brighter and more vivid, and give it that very meaning.

Thank You so much🙏🏻

Hi, Brother Andranox!

With constant work on the chakras, first of all on their purification, you will have better control over your internal states and you will be better protected from the influence of negative emotions and energy.

At the same time, if your inner state has been dealt a powerful blow in the form of various unpleasant life circumstances, the Gods are always there to help you. The Gods are always there.

True faith in the Gods always helps to overcome any obstacles and difficulties.

I feel that you have a bright future and, according to my intuition, the Gods have big plans for you, these are my feelings, intuition rarely fails me.

«You will find on the left of the halls of Hades a spring, and standing by it a white cypress. Do not approach this spring at all. You will find another, from the Lake of Memory, with cold water flowing from it. Guardians stand before it. Say: 'I am a child of Earth and starry Heaven, but my race is of Heaven alone. You know this yourselves. I am parched with thirst and am perishing. Give me quickly the cold water flowing from the Lake of Memory.' And they will give you to drink from the sacred spring, and after that you will reign among the other heroes» - From the Petelia Tablet (300-200 BCE)

Greetings Dear Brother.

Thank you so much for the advice and support.

I also think I have issues with cleansing, and I need to work on it more thoroughly.

I'll take your advice into account and try it out.

Thank you.

I'm glad to see you're recovering from what has dragged you down. The Gods are THE most understanding minds in the universe, remember.

I have experienced firsthand how sometimes you really need a dirty blow to truly realize what you're missing out on by not being the best you can be. It woke me up and pushed me to improve significantly. It's always an uphill battle but that's what we're here for, overcoming the mother of all hills, with Zeus as our Highest Teacher.

I am an Aspiring God, and so are you.

O Gods of the first dawn, Gods of Hellas and of Khem, of the rivers of Sumer and the snows of the North, of every people that once knelt before the true and the bright:
I declare before You and before the witness of all the heavens that Your Names are restored. Restored truly. Restored rightly. Restored in their power and their majesty and their original splendor.

100% agree with that.

Ideally, of course, it would be better to learn everything through a calm and clean way, but sometimes people, through their own doing (myself included), bring things to a point where that kind of dirt becomes necessary to wake them up and remind them.

Thank You for adding that very important point.

Greetings, Andranox. I was pleased to read your post. What matters today is that you’ve realized where you need to grow and improve. Everything that happens to us in life teaches us to mature and evolve, and we must learn from it. Every day, life gives us a new day to be put to the test, and what matters is the Truth we carry within our souls and how much of it we wish to manifest in the world, in life, and in the Temple. The Gods and the Clergy – Their representatives here on Earth – know how to read our souls, just like good parents and teachers, and discern our true intentions. May the past have taught you, and may the present carry you forward and strengthen you. Give the best of yourself. If you need to talk about any problem you’re facing – often, many people hold onto a harmful and negative inner dialogue for weeks or months, and then the effects of this repression manifest “suddenly”; sometimes people even perpetuate this kind of negative internal dynamic because they think they don’t need anyone or because they fear being judged by others; I’m not saying this is your case – you have a community here on the forum at your disposal; on Vultus as well. If you need us, SG The Alchemist and I are here too – as we’ve always written in the main Russian-language room dedicated to translations.

"O Atena, vergine divina, che squilli di gioia e di luce emanano dal tuo tempio, nel tuo sacro recinto splende la sapienza. Sii sempre la guida dei governanti,
la luce del pensiero e del coraggio, che infondi nelle anime che si rivolgono a te. In battaglia, assisti i tuoi valorosi, insegna loro l’arte della guerra giusta,
sostieni le loro braccia con la forza, affinché possano trionfare in nome della giustizia. O Atena, signora delle città, dona prosperità e pace ai tuoi devoti, e per noi che ti onoriamo con culto e riti, colma i nostri cuori di saggezza e virtù." - Callimaco, Inni

Thank You so much for such wise words.

The issue You pointed out is indeed very important, and often the most dangerous one, since we are human, social beings, and when there are problems you shouldn't hide them or see yourself as a "hero" just for holding it all in, that's what family is for, to support one another, one day you share a problem and get help, and another day someone shares a problem with you and you help them, that's one of the qualities of Family, helping one another.

Thank You, the Clergy, and You, Supreme Guardian The Alchemist7, and Our whole Community. I don't know what I would have done without such wonderful People like You. I would also like to separately thank HP Zevios Metathronos, TG Chandra, SG The Alchemist7, HG Sophiles Phylax, and Anemos Aiteros for the support They gave me and for their advice, thanks to which I was able to recognize my mistake and work on correcting it.

Thank You, the blessed People of the Gods🫂❤️🙏🏻
