The Paralysis Of Existence: Lower Than Slavery

Many people give me numerous examples everyday, on why they haven't done nothing good today. Sometimes, these are rationalized as "freedom of choice" and in other times, they are clothed in "emotional" arguments. "Didn't feel like it".

I understand this argument from cataleptic people, or someone extremely depressed. Yet, I hear this also from many healthy and normal males and women as well. You all appear to take your emotions and thoughts too seriously. More seriously than life itself.

Consequently, the input from the Gods, cannot be in modal operation in the lives of people. To put it plainly, if the Gods for example give you a message, to improve or to meditate, and you still engage in the above process; or they give you an epiphany that you must participate or give to this place and you repress it, you are jeopardizing both the work of yourself, and their work.

The Gods are not responsible for this. If you are on the level I describe at the first paragraph, the Gods are not leading your consciousness yet. Empty emotions and empty thoughts lead it. This means, you have drawn a great distance between your true self and the Gods; therefore, you cannot also "blame them" for these shortfalls.

At this level of operation above, if you engage everything like this in life, you are two things:

1. Internally Dead
2. A slave

The biggest thing to understand also, is that this could be, in fact, "your choice". No Gods, nor another person is responsible for this. Only you. It's the degree of the responsibility of yourself, in front of yourself. Nothing too divine or too "extended" to analyze exists here. One has chosen to be a slave to certain things, unconsciously.

Although, slave is a wrong term for this. Slaves historically, did many things. They created many things, and did many things.

In fact, I would argue, that slaves are higher than you: because slaves are actually enforced to engage in actions that would, in some way, be at least somewhat beneficial.

In other words, the present day and mode of operation many people call "freedom" and "emotional respect", is existentially, below that of slavery itself. At the behest of this, nor true emotions, nor true freedom (existential power) can manifest.

People are just slaves, and they create narratives about why they are not. They lie to themselves: A lot of energy goes to lying, and none to evolving. The existential ranking remains the same - below slaves.

I have to be very direct and say that unless this is entirely banished from the Temple, and every Initiate, in full form, then the Gods cannot intervene in nothing serious: Nor for you, nor for this place.

That's all I have to say in this particular rant. Thank you all very much.

A life of inertia and stagnation is no different than a lifelong prison sentence. The only difference is the cage is made of misery.
 
This is many needed to hear.

To be lead by empty emotions and thoughts, do nothing good with the time allotted in your life, you exist merely as a dead person.

By choice one decides not to engage with life and evolve, by choice one stagnates and works towards nothing.

By choice one goes through life as a dead person. No matter the reasons the mind comes up with to excuse itself and provide comfort from the devastation wrought on your existence through this, the devastation caused remains. Time lost never comes back.

Next time one reflects on this and makes excuses, ignore them and spend that time acting on solutions instead.
 
From my own introspection in these matters, I understand the excuses are never real. Even the "I don't have time" excuse falls short in most circumstances if we think about it, and at the end of the day, it all boils down to some form of laziness. So we all need to make a conscious effort to eradicate this permanently, so we can start elevating ourselves and the Temple.
 
A lot of it I think is also just bad lifestyle habits that make people want to be less productive. It's hard to do something truly rewarding but not neurologically rewarding if you're used to instant gratification from scrolling all day, or playing games or whatever.



I find when you make the switch of increasing your sensitivity to dopamine rather than overloading it all day with worthless things, one can become more productive.



Bad sleep habits, neurotic mindsets and other similar behaviour are also important.



99% of the time when all the above is fixed, people find life and drive in themselves again. Working on the root chakra through the Uruz rune has helped me out as well in becoming more energetic and productive.
 
But also, if all the physical and neurological problems are fixed, and one still doesn't feel productive, then there's a deeper psychological reason behind it then. Trauma, loss of trust in things and people. I personally was traumatised by christianity and the idea of going to hell and the internal moral contradiction of following an immoral "God". It led me to a depression afterwards and made me quite cynical in trusting any spiritual claims after, although I wouldn't say I ever became an atheist truly. Depression can really drain someone from doing other things especially if it came from trauma.
 
Greetings High Priest, you mentioned depression in your sermon. What do you think if a Zevist performs spiritual practices out of duty but not out of passion or love for the practice. let’s say without enthusiasm or joy at all, will this kind of effort bear spiritual fruit? And this is assuming that the person approaches everything in his life without passion and carries out all activities almost on autopilot, as if one can only act this way, because otherwise one would do nothing at all and simply suffer from melancholy and do nothing
 
Unfortunately, I feel I sometimes fall into being a bit less passionate about many things. I feel this is more so related to the energetic drain of physical problems, and not so much mental apathy. I will keep this in mind, High Priest Zevios Metathronos. Living more fully and passionately is something that might deeply benefit me, as I a bit down at times.
 
This combined with the sermon about the mind's RAM is helping me personally refine my daily routine. The more I focus on what helps me grow the more I want to do my everyday schedule with gusto at the most and when I feel low energy then I'll still do it because it bears fruit. As said in your reply to the member Black Magic.



I am noticing more and more I function better in the manner you speak of. It's time to dedicate to it. ⚡
