Virue A - Into a Human

[Renita]

As our ethic says, we must first master the understanding of what it means to be human before mastering the next mountain of becoming a God/Demon. So in what ways can we truly become human? Is it the practice of empathy, bravery, etc? I do understand that for each person what it means to be human will vary, but how can I understand this deeper and practice it? Thank you and Hail Zeus!!

My interpretation of "becoming human" is this: we have been programmed to become "people". We have been trapped in our own ego, our own sense of self; we know "who" we are, but we forgot what we are. I've been isolated a whole year to remember that i'm not my name, my face, the things i do, my "identity". Mostly, i'm just a member of a species, living on a minuscule Planet in a huge Universe. I don't know if that's what the ToZ meant, but everybody should quit the social game for a while and come back "into a human" in my opinion. It's something we forget when we are just children..

I thinks It's about having your own ethics before dedicating yourself to something.

The more you meditate on the virtue the better you understand it. After reading explanation utter the prayer and meditate on the sigil. You will recieve guidance form the God.

We are Zevists, spiritual beings.
We are also humankind; children, friends, partners, parents, colleagues, etc.

I think for me, this Ethic really speaks to the balance we have to achieve as we grow in all areas of our lives (becoming educated, confident, everything we need to be to be who we need to be).

We cannot be meditating in a cave all our lives, we need to learn how we best are able to function and contribute to the society gifted to us by the Gods as humans so we can make better humans. This is a divine task in itself, I believe.

Humanity can be trying, but it also a beautiful thing when done right.

Having compassion and bravery as you mentioned are apart of ethics. Ethics which set us a part, from let's say animals. Ethnics which were shared with us from the Gods. I would say to practice these in our lives to be more human. Nema makes a point to when looking at our identities. We're not seperate but one self. Steering away, would make us less and less human. But the practice I'd say we already do as Zevists.
