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.
