How To Gain The Divine Favor Of The Gods

[SeleneMoon]

How to Gain The Favor of The Gods: The Architecture of Divine Favor

The favor of the Gods is not a coincidence, nor is it a gift of capricious grace bestowed upon the lucky. It is an earned existence an internal resonance achieved through the deliberate and consistent application of personal responsibility. Let's see how that works in practice.

The fundamental distinction between those who gain the support and guidance of the divine and those who feel adrift is not a matter of destiny, but of YOUR positioning. You generate the reasons for divine attention yourself.

Through your actions, your character, and your worldview, you decide for yourself how much favor you will gain. The Gods do not choose you "for no reason"; you present them with a reason.

This principle is the basis of a hopeful yet profoundly serious path. It is hopeful because it shows you power is not some sort of hereditary structure or "aristocratic".

It proclaims that anyone, regardless of their birth, their past, or their current station, can achieve a state of divine favor. There is no elite club with secret handshakes; the only requirement is the will to act. It is serious because it places the full weight of responsibility squarely on your shoulders. It is an acknowledgement that the universe does not reward passivity. The Gods are allies, not caretakers. They will not carry you, but they will walk beside you, provided you are willing to take the first step, and the next, and the next.

Doing what one can and must do, even if it feels minimal, is the engine of this process. The Gods measure the consistency of your effort. A single, focused meditation performed daily is more potent in their eyes than a grand ritual performed once a year out of vanity.

Studying a single paragraph of ancient knowledge with genuine intent holds weight in their eyes. You are not expected to be a perfect master overnight. You are expected to be a person that walks the walk. This consistent effort, no matter how small, is the language you use to communicate your seriousness to the divine. It is the proof of your commitment.

Your personality and how you view Zevism and yoursel are the lenses through which your actions are focused. Do you see yourself as a helpless supplicant begging for scraps, or as a growing God-in-the-making, worthy of respect and capable of immense growth?

The Gods respond to the self-perception you project. How they respond? When they see actions taken in your level that make this reality to manifest in your life. A personality built on discipline, respect, and a thirst for knowledge will naturally attract more favor than one built on entitlement, laziness, and arrogance.

You are not just performing actions; you are building a character, and it is this character that the Gods invest in. Actions form your character. On this character, Divine Favor can dwell.

This framework illuminates the awesome power of Free Will. The ultimate choice is yours. Yes, the Gods choose their disciples to enter the temple, so you are in the Temple. Past this point you decide who you will be. Any set limits in your life, might be there, but in eternity, these limits can definitely all be overcome.

You decide, every single day, through your actions or your inaction, whether you are moving toward or away from the divine. Inaction is also an action, one has chosen to not act, postpone, do this later, do this never. That was a choice and this choice indirectly affects if the Gods will favor you today, the day after, or maybe never if you never act.

You are the one who sets the terms of your own path. The Gods can open a door, present an opportunity, or pick you for a specific mission, but you are the one who must walk the mile. Getting picked means by itself a lot but if you make it look like nothing and you don't take it seriously, then, it is nothing. They may offer you the sword, but you must be the one to forge it in the fires of your own discipline and wield it with the strength of your own will.

Therefore, do not wait for a sign. Maybe you have already received too many and you just want more, simply because you are never "sure enough". But you will never be sure enough, as only ACTIONS are going to breed the certainty in the Gods and their Divine Favor. Do not wonder if you are worthy all day long. Your worthiness is something you build, not something you are given randomly.

Start now. Do what you can. Meditate. Study. Perform a ritual with focused intent. Do things for the ToZ and help it grow. Show your value to them and they will return it tenfold to you. Do not ignore the opportunities presented, because this is what these opportunities will do to you. And that's not unfair it's the notion of universal Justice. This same Justice is why you can, based on merit, become eventually a God and limitless, but also why you can lose this opportunity. It's your choice what you do with all this.

Each act, no matter how small, is a brick in the temple you are building for yourself, a temple that the Gods will be honored to inhabit. The favor of the Gods is not a mystery to be solved; it is a relationship to be earned, and the power to begin that relationship rests entirely within you.

Thank you, this resonates so deeply. I have been silently reading and learning for the last few weeks. I have been following the 30 day programme. However lots of things in my home life create blockades to personal advancement at the rate which I would like. I often worry I am not doing enough but there aren't enough hours in the day for me, I do always do something even small daily and know as my small children grow I will have more time to focus on my personal development. Rambling on now, but literally this is the first post I read today as I was just about to admonish myself again. I take heart that action, even small is action. You inspired me to create my own account and comment with thanks, it was just what I needed to see and maybe a helpful nudge.

Real Beauty in This Sermon. Thank you High Priest Hooded Cobra forever.

Whenever I got valid contacts and most amazing experiences from Gods, it is happening when I do most what I can do throughout the day.

When I go to sleep with smile and happiness while trying to comprehend how I managed to do such amounts of activity, and I know alright today I did really what I can.

These days was bringing most attention and rewards from them in most direct way.

Thanks for reminding.

"They may offer you the sword, but you must be the one to forge it in the fires of your own discipline and wield it with the strength of your own will."
Such a powerful quote, dear High Priest. You truly have the power to put the most immense thoughts into perfect words.

As to the idea behind the quote, I am now realizing very clearly that the most important things in life is to take action and have the willpower and discipline to proceed until you the task is accomplished. Every bad situation, every bad trait that is in you can be removed if worked hard.

As Confucius said: "When strict with oneself, one rarely fails." I believe this quote is extremely valid for us Zevists.

Hail Zeus!

What’s important is that you’re making the effort to evolve as a spiritual being, and you are doing that. At this point in your life, don’t worry if you can only do a little each day because every day builds on the last. Keeping up any spiritual routine while having kids and responsibilities is amazing, so be proud of your initiative and the progress you’ve made. And you’re right: you’ll have more time later.

Thank you so much for this sermon.
I have a relative who had done the dedication ritual and was meditating for a very short while. Now, although they deeply believe in Zeus and our Gods, they don't do anything about it.
I wish they would just change. I wish they understood the importance for this, how much they could build for themselves, how freeing they would feel, and how liberating and truly, truly priceless is the connection with our ancient Gods and Goddesses.

I want to send them this sermon, but I know they won't read it. And it saddens me.

Do you see yourself as a helpless supplicant begging for scraps, or as a growing God-in-the-making, worthy of respect and capable of immense growth?

High Priest, you always know what questions to ask... This made me think.
I don't believe I'm utterly helpless, but I've never seen myself as a "growing God-in-the-making."
It feels "too big" to say that for myself.
But maybe, indeed, I should change my perspective. As long as my actions follow that mindset.

Hi, SeleneMoon!

Don't worry about not being able to do as much as you'd like to. Everyone does what they can according to their own circumstances, and the Gods and Goddesses are incredibly, incredibly understanding.

I have so many times received a word of comfort or a feeling of peace when I was afraid that I wasn't doing enough in spite of trying my hardest under my circumstances at that time.

Our beautiful Father Zeus and the Gods are truly so understanding, so compassionate, so loving.

Your path doesn't need to be a marathon.
Enjoy each step of the way, spend time with your little children as these are beautiful years that won't come back. And meditate with the pace that you can. It's great that you have started the 40-days meditation program because this puts you on the mindset of daily meditation, it builds discipline, and it helps you start slow and steady.

We're very happy to have you in our Family.

I had a friend whom I encouraged him to do the initiation ritual in 2014 when I was starting to meditate seriously everi day, he never cared about his spiritual progress, and now after so many years he's still the same as at the beginning.

That is sad. After consistent efforts, meeting Gods and having other supernatural experiences become the norm.
