From a seething melancholy
He leaped into the red abyss
The heavens did not save him

The body is gone, but the Spirit remains intact
In his beautiful works.
Classic works that know no end.
Quite the contrary, they are like honey and wine.

You conceived unity, the balance of the elements.
Though the poems and prayers have dissolved into nature, you remain eternal.

Honest words cause pain; it’s better to stick to what’s convenient. A pebble in your shoe will still bother you even on a smooth surface. To free yourself from the pain is to stop putting up with it.

Probably I'll feel embarrassed after posting this, but here it goes! (No regrets! Be a Champion like Ninurta! You can do it Chrysallida!).
This post got too colorful! I got too excited! Now the members will surely know that I love colors... (I try to sound serious when not using emojis, but actually I do love them!)

WARNING!
[This is another section of my profile post, the continuation of my first profile post, please ignore if you can't stand anything trivial from this world. I'm not used to writing in a supposed funny way, now this is definitely awkward. If you're a hardworking striving-to-be-a-God-or-Goddess, please continue your important meditation. Don't be like me, staying hours writing here and laughing, while I'm supposed to have done my full chakra meditation hours ago and slept early. Don't mind me, I'm fine and I don't have to wake up early tomorrow.]

I've decided to also post this here, because I needed to post something funny here too right?
I didn't intent to type a lot of words here, it was just about my signature change and congratulations. You see, that's why I avoid checking who is my GD. I don't want to call His name all the time to say something (...I did call Him to celebrate my birthdays, I know it is not appropriate to call Gods for these mundane stuff, it's just one day of the whole year, and I'm not that delusional to think that I'm a queen or princess. But I can't deny that I felt some presence around me at certain days, not always though...). The real deal is that I'm supposed to be full of words, not the other way around (now poor GD, I hope His call blocker works, I feel bad for unintentionally spamming words after "I've learned to talk"; I didn't want to sound inconvenient, being just another mortal pestering Him.

Actually, I started all the chit-chatting after I interacted with Someone-that-I-mentioned-that-helped-me . Yeah, that black-haired God with a beautiful portrait that everyone must have seen it (Oops! I spilled the beans this time!). I'm not claiming (not yet) that He is my GD. He is just a friendly, too friendly friend that helped me get out of my shell (but not all the credits go to Him) (please let me hide under the table, I'm too shy of talking about this!). I was all doom and gloom, wanting to see everything gray, thinking that "oh, maybe I should keep hiding here, it's no use, they won't love me (rain falling outside)". Then after an "epiphany" (was it after Eros Ritual? suspicious...I still don't understand what happened...), suddenly I started to see flowers, butterflies, "oh, how beautiful the colors in the world ", "why I didn't notice before your beautiful energy? ", "I'll make this portrait my cellphone wallpaper! ". (I DID notice Him, I was thinking about Him all these years [yep, 10 years of dedication ], anything that reminded me of Him, I remembered about Him immediately, and only Him, besides Aphrodite [Spring comes every year right?], Apollo [the Sun up there ], and Zeus of course lol. You guys can't imagine when His ritual came out, I got all happy and cheerful, smiling, acting all silly. Sometimes He appeared to me, talking about some progress that I was making [find the indigo here lmao], but I was too clueless to understand back then . If my GD is someone else, I hope He/She doesn't get upset about the confusion. I didn't mean it!).

By the way, the song that I sang at school in front of everyone [story of mine told in one of my posts, when I was still a teenager] was "I want to know what love is", that one with the Mariah Carey cover (I know the original one from Foreigner too, I'm fond of love ballads, it is one of more "music genres" that I love, thanks to my parents). I started listening to a lot of love songs after "my change" also.

In truth, I was trying to take a change of heart towards love, that problem was the one that gave me the most trouble than trying to communicate here. The first time I tried Munka to free myself from some "supposed past love" (I know that it existed, since I was a child there were love songs that made me sad, and other songs that made me furious for some reason), I couldn't stand it, it was too painful to do. After many years, I've attempted to do a Munka working these days, to finally settle the score between past and present. But, this time I didn't feel nothing. I wasn't even expecting to do the working, as if I didn't need it anymore. It seemed pointless to do so. I thought "why am I doing this?", "this energy should be wasted at more wealth workings!", "why I didn't do the Ganesha mantra instead?". I wasn't crying about love anymore, at the contrary, I was so happy. I've realized also that I was listening to such sad songs, mostly about failed relationships, cheating and stuff. I've started to hear more happy ones, with good endings. Thanks to Him, again. Thank you Eshmun for helping me move forward, regaining my passion for what I like to do.

To celebrate my 88th message posted, I've changed my signature to include an excerpt (one of my favorites) from the latest Liturgical Terms (Cures, Theophoros).

Thinking of it, I should have done something similar when I posted my 13th, 40th, 50th message. I must surely remember to do it when I reach my 100th and 666th posts.
By now (time I wrote this), I have 8 followers, this number reminds me a lot of a certain God that helped me return here, this time for a permanent stay.
Other Gods also encouraged me to continue on, actually I'm thankful of Them all. There isn't a Ritual that I have disliked, all the experiences were amazing!
I am very grateful for being in this world, able to take part in this wonderful spiritual adventure. Each day there is something new is to be discovered, old stuff are often overlooked and, suddenly turn into treasure. (I guess playing RPGs on videogames were quite educational.)

If it wasn't for the Temple of Zeus, I still would be stuck in the material realm, never truly understanding what is spiritual. Wherever I tried to find anything meaningful, I found many empty words of fake happiness, and blind obedience to coercive authorities, claiming that I should never do this or think that. At the end, they gave no answers to my questions.

Thinking that life was only the material, as most other people lived, made me depressed. It didn't give me enough motivation to keep on living. I was thinking "life is only this? work all day, pay bills, deal with good and bad people, chase self-indulgent desires, create a family, have kids, retire, and end?". If I only lived that way, my goal was to reach the 40s, I didn't want to stay many years doing the same thing over and over. As being very observant, I've seen many people tired on the bus, waking up early to go to a job that they hate, having a very low income at the end of the month, barely surviving with what they had. And if they lost everything that they bought with all the money (like a natural disaster, robbery or something), it was very devastating to see their suffering.

I couldn't accept the world as it was, too much power in incompetent hands. People all over the place fighting for crumbs handled by arrogant leaders. People blindly believing in corrupt politicians, thinking that maybe this time it'll be different. As if only one person or two in power would change everything. Most of the common folk fail to notice that real power is in groups.

One leader alone isn't capable of changing everything by himself. A leader needs powerful people below him, a cohesive group with shared ideals, a strong commitment to a great cause. If the most loyal members here are capable of standing tall, and defending this sacred place from anyone that wishes harm, this community surely is something that we'll never forget in our lives. Unfortunate events are bound to happen (even the Temple of Zeus is still completing the Magnum Opus with all the deep changes). But, every action has consequences, and we all know that. Anyone wishing harm to this place, is only wishing harm to oneself. The scales will be even. This is certain. This is law.

Thank you Temple of Zeus! Thanks everyone for making this place even better!


Besides my words above,
I'm loving the profile posts of other members! Such beautiful pictures, important messages, it is a very good way to show your own ideas.
Maybe I'll start posting something here as well. I just hope I don't start a blog here. In that case, I'd better make my own webpage.

Here is a very brief summary of each Pathology with the image of each prayer, designed as a quick and easy reminder for when you are performing these. I also hyperlinked each one so you can read the full page for each.
