It is important to understand that the Gods have put us here and tasked us all with some tasks. While we think these tasks are external, indeed, they have everything to do with us and who we are now, but also that which we are going to be.
Father Zeus and the Gods have given us knowledge to develop ourselves and our world. Why?
Because our world has nothing in it, if we don't do nothing about it. Contrary to the views that want humans as useless, the Gods disagree. The Gods teach us that we are tasked with the fact that we must maintain and advance things. They stand there as those who have done it and our guides, calling us there.
Without following this, our world and ourselves are going to fall into a state of entropy, in which we will be consumed by the laws of nature that deal with returning to a state before existence.
The Gods and Father Zeus have instructed us for these things for our own sake. Observing this matter, we cannot thank the Gods enough, for both bringing us to existence, but also teaching us about it. We might not always like what we see, but they give us power to conquer what we are against right now.
Our Gods are great teachers that understand our limitations, fears, skeletons, but also see where we can go. While we stumble on the lower levels, they still stand there to bring us back into the line, yet we always have to agree to this ourselves. We are free beings to a major extent. We are responsible for ourselves.
Currently, all of us are like a forest. We are growing on rocks, on soil, and in a world that opposes us and misunderstands us. Instead of seeing this as a negative, everyone should see this as a positive. We are a powerful seed with a great future.
The world misunderstands itself as well, so we should not take this personally. What everyone loved at one point, currently and temporarily is hated only because of disinformation. We have taken a wrong turn as a world, but we can certainly make sure to turn to the good side on our next stop.
Our next stop is currently coming, and that is Zeus's Era. Our understanding has to be firm in this. As we develop personally, we must develop our common existence as a unity. We people of this place are united. Whether one is more of a lone wolf, or a master of teamwork that is focused on the community, we all share a similar destiny together.
Like trees in a forest, we are not all the same. We have our differences, yet, we all belong in the same forest, the same innocent creatures are trying to find a place in our warmth, and whether we succeed or fail is something that should propel us all to grow.
Another stolen statement from the enemy, is that when Apollonius, was being dragged to his death and was "crucified", he told that "These people do not know what they are doing, excuse them", a statement later stolen and put into the "Bible", which needless to say should be read from the perspective of where it existed originally, in OUR culture.
Apollonius was the one that was brought in front of the Roman authorities to be tried, and descriptions of this time and that event have it, that he teleported out of the room after he was absolved of a wrong verdict of the mindless masses. Apollonius was a student of Apollo.
"Even before he was born, it was known that he would be someone special. A supernatural being informed his mother that the child she was to conceive would not be a mere mortal but would be divine. He was born miraculously, and he became an unusually precocious young man. As an adult he left home and went on an itinerant preaching ministry, urging his listeners to live, not for the material things of this world, but for what is spiritual. He gathered a number of disciples around him, who became convinced that his teachings were divinely inspired, in no small part because he himself was divine. He proved it to them by doing many miracles, healing the sick, casting out demons, and raising the dead. But at the end of his life, he roused opposition, and his enemies delivered him over to the Roman authorities for judgment. Still, after he left this world, he returned to meet his followers in order to convince them that he was not really dead but lived on in the heavenly realm. Later some of his followers wrote books about him."
People are clueless in regards to the Gods and what they are missing out on, therefore, clueless on our intentions too. If they knew, they would have changed their minds. But this change will arrive gradually, and with a lot of struggle. That is because we are stubborn in our ignorance.
So stubborn, that when we make steps to cure this disease, the Gods smile upon us and come around us in help and great mercy. As a broad mass, we are sufferers, but we aren't understanding it. We are those who engage this process, instead of pretending it's all fine.
We are all confronted with different obstacles, and the aim here is that those who can remove one obstacle, to have another obstacle removed off from their own path. That is the value of community. That is why the Gods ask us to surpass our limitations, while simultaneously they understand what these might be.
In order to build anything in this world, and follow the eternal path of the Gods, we have to learn how to give, and how to receive. Those who want to do neither, will find themselves in an empty life. The Temple of Zeus is our giver of purpose. We are in a ship that moves on during a storm right now, but we are strong and resolute in this ship.
Everyday we come into this place to see more of our own going through the same struggles, maybe those that we will encounter later or the ones that we encounter now. But one must understand where we would be if we were "alone". We would be nowhere. People have been nowhere for centuries. People like ourselves were hunted down and burned not that long ago, with nowhere to go to.
Often times I am severely criticized and sometimes good, other times badly. That is a normal part of the process of life, where opinions differ. It's important however sometimes to zoom out. As far as I am personally concerned, I want to lift the maximum amount of wood and build other people's houses and the village.
In a similar manner than where people are not doing this, inevitably a winter will come. Then people who now criticize me will later curse me for not building them houses - for now, I will be criticized for saying to build the house. Over the years, when the winters came, or when we moved on the edge of not existing, everyone understood.
One zooms out and understands where we are now and what kind of opportunity has presented itself, one cannot help but act seriously in this task.
We are all a spiritual society and family. Some people will be able to lift a lot of wood, and others will be able to bring trucks and companies and others will be woodcutting professionals. Others will plant the trees, and others will do other tasks. Others will not be able to lift nothing, but will have another power.
But we are all doing something together - and that is the important point. One didn't exist in this life doing nothing. I know I haven't, and I am blessed to know many that can say the same. When one's heart aligns with the Gods, they will understand this motivation.
Eventually one will understand more and more, until they will finally get glimpses of the zoomed out state, in which many more things will make sense. For what I can personally say, I am thankful, and I am very humbled and live in daily appreciation for all of you and the fact that you all exist and that you are advancing.
Our people are a unique flock, a unique species of individuals and leadership here is not linear. Traditional rules of leading are not enough; one must think with the wisdom and with the heart to be both a member, a servant, a leader, or anything in this place. Yet, we are succeeding and we are doing this in a world where things do anything but welcome our advances.
The day will come where the Empire of the Gods will be restored. To these people and ourselves in that future, we will be thankful for our actions today, and what we did in that task. Those of us who did nothing will just look at themselves with a form of bitterness, and there is no guilt in realizing this.
Everyone will experience a form of guilt; others for not doing anything, and others for not doing even more. We'd rather be on the second category.
Some of you have told me you feel some guilt when I bring some matters in front of you, but the same guilt and nakedness would arrive a million times worse, if we looked back to our life and knew that we never meditated and we never tried to discover what it meant to be human, or to build something for the Gods.
Where would we be without them and without the Gods? Or without the knowledge that we have? Or the infinite value it has brought into our existence?
Personally, I wouldn't even "be".
I must also close this message by saying that the existence of this community and it's people, in the overwhelming majority, is making me trust humanity again. For this I have to say that I am thankful to all of you.
I also plea of you, to do what you can to advance, to keep walking towards your Godhead, and to not allow the void to consume you.
Further on, I hope that we both appease and amaze the Gods who see our world in this current circumstance, and that we manage to become a beacon of light in the midst of darkness.
Next time that you are confronted with something like we all are, you must think, that no matter what one is facing, one's life has had a divine spark in it.
We are all together building the Empire of the Gods. We are doing it.
