I noticed some members were a bit intimidated and fearful of this Great Ritual for the Goddess Nemesis, and I was a bit anxious, at first, too. But then something dawned on me, and I had an epiphany: you know what would be all the more terrifying? If humanity could never connect with Lady Nemesis and what she governs. She is the laws of Ma'at made flesh, the protector of the innocent, destroyer of the wicked, punisher of all injustice, the Supreme Debt Collector of the Kosmos.

We Zevists especially should not be afraid, but instead feel comforted by this Great Goddess.

Zevists stand for justice, Zevists stand for righteousness, Zevists stand against the wicked children of Izfet.
There is nothing to fear as long as we abide by these principles.

We are children of Nemesis, children of Ma'at, and we must look to our Divine Mother for guidance and protection.

HAIL GODDESS NEMESIS!

We see this so often. Knowing leads to understanding, understanding leads to the way out of this vicious cycyle:

"A population under perpetual threat of war cannot focus upon the development of consciousness, the pursuit of knowledge, the cultivation of the spirit, or the advancement of civilization. It is locked at the level of survival: the base chakra, the Muladhara, the consciousness of mere physical existence, fighting for life, fighting for food, fighting for shelter.

This is the intended effect. Spiritual advancement requires peace, time, stability, and access to knowledge. The Varvarim destroy all four. A human being who spends his entire short life fleeing from one war to the next has no time to meditate. A woman who loses her children to religious violence has no space to contemplate the Divine. A people whose libraries have been burned have no access to the accumulated wisdom of their ancestors.

The Yehubor profits from this condition because a population trapped in base consciousness cannot perceive the manipulation under which it lives. It cannot question. It cannot examine the scriptures critically. It cannot compare traditions. It cannot recognize that the God invoked by its oppressors bears no resemblance to the actual Divine. It can only obey, suffer, and die, and in dying confirm the evil priesthood's claim that this world is merely a vale of tears to be endured before the promised paradise or the “second coming.”"

I was asked what to do to prepare for the ritual of Nemesis. My reply:

If any of you have doubts as to whether or not you should participate, know that we are all supposed to participate for this schedule. You are joining me and my energy for this.

Keep your mind open to receiving guidance that will help your personal growth. Do not expect harsh criticism, but know our Gods love us and want what is best for us.

If any of you feel guilty about anything, you can pay your dues, repay your debt. Spend time being a beneficial influence in our community here and in the forums, donate if you are able to, send positive energy to a Zevist who might need it (keep it generalized, not necessarily to a specific person but ask your GD to guide it to someone who needs it).

"You are the memory of the Cosmos.
Every deed is recorded in your ledger. Every act is weighed upon your scales.
Restore the equilibrium that the enemies of the Gods have shattered.
Let what was tilted be levelled. Let what was stolen be returned.
The scales will be even. This is certain. This is law."
