Every so often I will receive the pain of the family when it comes to obstacles in life and in general which might look insurmountable.
Personally, I am not a stranger to these types of obstacles. I've lost track of how many times I have been with a back on the wall, so to speak. Yet, as we can see, the walls are many times walls of the mind, spirit, and then circumstances.
Most walls in life are actually however constructions and not really insurmountable, as other things might be. They often-times just simply look that way. It's our job as people who live life to try to climb above these walls.
As to not deviate the point of the post however, let us focus on this point: You Must Never Give Up As a Zevist in Life.
Regular people out there are dealt all sorts of fated hands, ranging from great, to bad, to totally evil. These people however are called by ancient philosophers like Proclus as "those who are moved remotely", or to put it accurately, those who are moved solely on the influence of their own planets.
These people are sleepers, and they are not free beings. They are fighting in a way, but they might have a way to go. Their freedom is small, marginal, and they cannot even recognize problems let alone overcome them. They didn't want more freedom and the heavens weren't as graceful to them as to give them knowledge they didn't seek, ie, spiritual knowledge.
A Zevist is in another category where one actively starts understanding, and they therefore take a life of another category of "Those who move from within". In this state, one knows their astrology, is aware of the powers of the mind and spirituality, aligns with the Gods, and advances spiritually.
To give an image, the passive people are dragged around by the powers of the planets and fate. Yet, the stronger the soul gets, it can pose not only resistance to these forces, but it can eventually usher the paths that are arrayed for freedom, or it can carve it's own. This is where the Godhead leads progressively. Yet, this process is far more elaborate than it might look on the surface.
On a simple level, workings, work on the soul, personality work, but above all changing your habits, will start carving a new path in the setting. At first, we work with your chart, until we progressively are free to carve our own paths. This is where the Gods want to get us eventually.
One is on a whole other level after they dedicate and they sit there to apply the knowledge, which gives both insight and newfound energy and confidence, but also the strong allegiance with the Gods that one can empower, does wonders in handling the so called "Fate".
Eventually one starts getting access to the inner power, which one did not really have access before.
Life and the planets revolve for everyone and there is no perfect, higher or worse chart. That is because charts are like patterns that play themselves on top of the scene of life. There are people who have wonderful charts and never done anything in their life, and people with terrifying charts that have had all the obstacles in the world but eventually succeeded.
A great delusion that has to be banished is that it's only "you" that is experiencing problems or that problems are so overbearing. They might be, and nobody can doubt this. One knows the weight of their own problems. But I want to add here to be a little objective and not pretend you are in the middle of WW3 everytime something negative happens.
These are events from life itself, these are parts of the process of life.
What you think is your problem is actually encountered by many other people. Do not underestimate others. While some people appear to have it "easy", there are others out there who are real fighters in life. People show resilience and strength.
The first and foremost thing you can do no matter the external circumstance as a Zevist, is to focus on your inner world. Your inner world is where everything begins. If your inner world is damaged, broken or harmed, no matter how your external life is, likely you might be the cause of your own damnation or you won't derive satisfaction from it.
First and foremost, as one establishes a form of control on the inside, you will establish a control on the outside. This takes time. The average time to look into making changes if your life is in shambles is around 5 years. With 5 years of workings, self control, cleaning the soul, and approaching the Gods, they will help you, and within these 5 years you can completely change your life.
Stop taking others in consideration and comparing to them all the time, because this will cause you insanity. Do not look at Instagram and bimbos that pretend their life is perfect, and don't take in consideration fake smiles and assume that people are better or even worse than they claim.
Most people have a very chaotic life, and family, job, occupation and other misfortunes, are given to ALL people, WITHOUT exceptions. There is no point in life where "everything" is absolutely stunning, and if there are such points, these are fleeting. Catastrophe, problems and disasters, will arrive unavoidably and as part of the design and rules of life; in fact, these are exactly the events that will grow you, in many times way more than the so called pleasant events in life.
I will write a full on book on how you can turn your life around from literally nothing and totally defeated, and yes, it is doable, and it just needs time. To summarize how, you need to take down and list all the problems you have. These might go up to 30.
Then, you must thin them down, and then thin them down, until you arrive to 3 problems. For example, career, relationships, family ties.
Then, you ought work on these with the supreme spiritual arsenal the Temple of Zeus is giving you, with study, and with activity in the world to fix these issues. Issues that cannot be solved, ought be discarded, or you must wait patiently [sometimes years] until things can change. Certain things like some people being assholes in life never change, and one can only do so much - problems which are going to only suck your energy and never fix themselves, ought be discarded or ignored.
Zevism is a doorway from where you can draw infinite inner energy and aspiration. With this inner energy and aspiration, then if you just put yourself the planning and focus, eventually you can reverse any situation, no matter how troublesome, except of maybe very few situations which are "beyond".
Victim mentality has to be abolished. The mentality of a victim will not help you in your problems, it just reinforces a false ideal that no Zevist must have, that one is incompetent, useless, and the victim of anyone and anything else, including "fate". Yes, fate can hit anyone, but we must try to manage her blows.
Life is not always to be taken personally. Crazy as this might sound, one must not take "personally" everything nagging, negative, and stupid they experience daily. One has to learn to let go a bit, and all of these tendencies will be worked by meditation, which will heal the mind and soul and consciousness, so that one can eventually lead a happier internal life, no matter what life tries to heap on you.
We exist to handle what we can manage and do this in a manner that these blows later become things that empower us.
As a further, to survive and to exist in life one must have faith. Typical as this might sound, faith is absolutely necessary to survive. When you show lack of faith, for example, to your mind, yourself and the Gods, or the knowledge that we possess, you are opening yourself up to events that are negative.
Faith will lead to further action. Action is the second thing you cannot live without. If you don't act to save your problems, don't complain; In almost the entirety of cases, they will never solve themselves. You are the one that must do it.
A strength of conviction must come up strongly, but will eventually become stronger and then of exemplary strength when you eventually have used all these things to build your life. This is where real power will begin.
It's not also uncommon that some people focus too much on spilt milk, failing at something in the past, or situations that cannot be fixed. These still are NOT reasons to finish a life, as life has infinite other potentialities and you can always find other beautiful and decent things to pre-occupy yourself.
As a Zevist must know how to juggle fate's balls that she throws at your existence.
When a decade plus ago I was around lousy and shit people who disallowed me to meditate for months on end and in a seemingly forced manner, I only put myself to see this as an opportunity to learn to meditate and to find crafty solutions to advance in this environment.
I knew this was peak maximum difficulty, hard mode and Asian 0.01% Gamer mode, but one had to do what one had to do. After doing this and playing this game in that difficulty, you'll play at "hard" and you will think the game is a joke. When you are stronger and it's "medium", you will play so easily.
Years later, I still get rewarded from the "juggling" I did, instead of sitting there bummed out and in resentment of the universe. I just prayed to the Gods, did my end of this, and kept working on my dues, trust in the process of life and taking it's lemons but making lemonade instead of crying from their sourness.
This way of life works; those who have done this, know that.
One must also trust in their journey: We are here to stop being automatons of fate and slaves, and to eventually learn through the application of the divine knowledge to become masterful of ourselves to the extent that it is possible.
That's the study and school of what we call "life". If one wasn't to learn from this, one wouldn't be here, let alone "return" again and again through reincarnation.
As far as life is concerned, we are all students until we move on. The reason one must never give up is that the Zevist is the person who lends an ear to listen to life, and therefore, the more one tries to listen, eventually they will understand the music one needs to dance to in order to navigate their life in an ever advancing way.
Suicide, giving up, blowing one's self, victimhood status, perpetual fear, and all of these negative things, ought to be for the people who deny listening.
These are things for outsiders and those who do not understand the fundamental microcosmic and macrocosmic connection. For those who know, then you know, that you can fix your environment and your inner self, and transform.
They have nobody to go to, but you do, the Gods and the community. They have no knowledge, but you do, the ToZ knowledge. They have no inner resolve, but you do, because you have your soul. One could go on and on.
NONE OF THIS IS FOR GRANTED! ITS A VERY, VERY RARE BLESSING! DO NOT FORGET THIS! MAKE USE OF THIS!
To any Zevist, these "giving up" types of events should constitute transient changes where one pleasantly goes from being ignorant of life and overcoming it, to attaining the light of Zeus-Lucifer and highlighting their own eternal path in which one walks.
