It's very normal for human beings that we exist and we take it all for granted. Where we are today, what blessings we have. Things one wanted 10 years ago, they are taken for granted once achieved; if not achieved, one takes for granted the fact that they will have "more time doing nothing" and not acquiring these.
Frequently in the heat of "what we would like things to be", as desire is constant, we lose track of what is actually going on with our lives. Desire here, going both ways into need or complacency, lies to you strongly. The truth differs a lot from the above.
Yes, in Zevism we know the soul reincarnates and everything; that is a fact. But if you pay attention the fact that you might reincarnate can be taken the other way: The fact that you must prize your life and time highly, building eternally. In other words, "reincarnation" and second chances should be treated as literally non-existent even if we know these to be the case.
Fact is that you might reincarnate also points to another thing: You won't take certain things with you; and you must value your time and what is in your hands today, and treat it well and wisely in this journey of eternal soul evolution.
The fact one is under the illusion that we always will have "more time" or that we anticipate to leave this world at a certain age, is oftentimes coming with a surprise in life. One might find out a little bit too late that their "anticipations" where incorrect.
If you live life like everyday matters greatly to your advancement and you do your best to go to bed knowing you evolved that day, you will have a happy life despite of external circumstances. One must aim to be able to say in the end of their day that "I did what I could today".
Most people live, even those who have no idea of reincarnation, as they would live two hundred or three hundred years. Wasting lifetime after lifetime. Even some people here they have the most important things in their hands but they allow inertia or "will do it at some other time" take hold.
Eventually time will run out, but the game plays itself deceitfully that we call "life". One always assume there will be another chance and another day for everything and some opportunities disappear entirely, eventually. Certain opportunities do not have this ability to show themselves again and again; others can be open to infinite opportunities. So the good news is if you lost major opportunities, you can always wake up to that fact and make sure you approach things better in the future. The worst thing you can do is ignore this potentiality and think that one has "infinite time" in the objective sense.
Reincarnation means things that are now objective, are subject to change in the next lifetime. One is deceived and those who are deceived, know how to spend their life in inertia mode. Those who join inertia for the duration of their life, will regret it in the end.
Their time is thrown out of the window, there is poor appreciation of life, let alone focused time effort in order to do better and advance. Their lives are thrown out and they take everything for granted. Since everything is taken "for granted" they don't take seriously the most important things in their life, nor they enjoy the simpler things in life.
I always lived my life as if death would definitely arrive at any moment. This was rather "uncomfortable" in itself but at the same time very comforting if one thinks about it. False certainty about existence I have abolished. What this situation did, is that this abolishing has allowed me to exist, to value life and also seek security in it, simply because life itself is an amazing phenomenon exactly because it can go away. It makes you able to use your time properly, be appreciative of existence, and not be someone who takes everything for "granted".
Life also has this other rule where if things are taken for granted and not cared about, they tend to vanish. Even the most stable structures, eventually will vanish if taken "for granted". Carelessness and being inert is another way of saying that you took something for granted. Taking things for granted, means one no longer maintains them; then these things by the nature of the cosmos disappear. That's because things down in this dimension either improve or are maintained, or vanish due to inertia. Taking it for granted and zero maintenance, means it's going to essentially vanish.
The meditations, wisdom of the Gods and many other techniques, can guarantee a longer life or a higher quality of inner existence. This is reassuring and a life saver. But if you pay attention to the lives most people have, they are at the whims of fate and mercy. Still they act like they will live forever, married to false pride, false conceptions, even delusions such as that they will always have another "go". They are so deep into delusion that they are unable to appreciate existence or understand that they are here to evolve spiritually and materially. We Zevists must operate in reverse motion when it comes to this.
Embrace life, do not take anything for granted, and try to do positive things. Treat the eternal journey, as if it would end on this very day. It's both eternal and only for this particular day. If one wakes up in the morning come up and say "What a beautiful day, another opportunity" and make what you can to grow a little or more that day.
Embrace it's eternity by actually understanding that today, is truly in the end eternity itself.
-High Priest Zevios Metathronos
