There will be a full update on the Temple of Zeus for this, because this is absolutely necessary. But because this is meticulously worked on, I am taking my time, and I am doing my best to explain what is going on with the Ethics.

Anyone who knows anything about this, knows that this is a complex matter. In fact, things like Justice and other notions are the most important, but quite difficult to understand, and often times, to implement. So this won't be a post of an elaborate discourse here, but more like an introductory post.

The whole discourse on Ethical behaviour is not to bind people pointlessly, it's because the Ancients were aware of the laws of the universe and how the laws take a turn. These don't always take a turn within one lifetime, and have to do with imprints upon a soul through it's whole journey.

In the same way our Ancestors have tried again and again to reiterate the Divine Rules of the Eternal Dharma to help people understand [and these later were corrupted] I have to bring them forth again in order for everyone to go better through the journey named life. There's nobody more fit to quote here, than Aristotle.

In regards to this, this quote must be remembered by every Zevist, especially when we deal with our own people and also the external world: "Anyone can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way that is not within everyone's power and that is not easy." - Aristotle, 384 BC - 322 BC

Key words to take away to understand the rest of the post are these: Anger, the emotion in itself, is often-times a reactionary emotion that is, the less advanced one is, to less and less reasoning. Hate, resentment, all of these, have a place in life.

When these are out of place and out of mind, they are only blind assassins going around destroying left and right.

Anger is not the same to be kindled for all people.

Some people also have extreme and unhinged rage issues, while others have become pacified to an extent where they cannot display any.

These imbalances need to be brought into balance, so rage, this powerful and unbridled force represented by Ares [perfect timing that we do the Ritual now to converse about this] is controlled and modulated.

Having our minds seated on the understanding of anger or hate, which is an underlying motivator for vengeance, we must move a bit forward to make an introduction on the Ethics of Revenge for Zevists.

This will give you a rough outlook about this subject, and give you insight to your own behaviour. We are not told to limit our behaviour here, but to become wiser in how we operate.

About the Ethics of Taking Revenge:

Depending on what one's level is in life, one will have different types of ethics that surround their decision making process. This process changes from individual to individual, and one's position internal or external can change the external factors and internal factors that deal with these decisions.

That's why often-times one case of ethical action cannot work to fulfill another.

An example is broadly here, that your enemy during a large scale war, is not to be treated as a domestic argument with one's girlfriend. Certain other things according to one's mental and emotional disposition can however be extremely much while to others these can be irrelevant.

So the middle point remains this: To enact judgement and to try to comprehend what is going on. If one does this, one isn't behaving like an andrapod without judgement.

Zevism preaches the striving towards Justice, which is commonly conflated on people on many levels with other things.

In this specific page, we should explain about the ethics of revenge and spiritual retaliation.

Level 1: One recently exited Christianity or Islam, where they were getting unjustifiably treated in a very bad sense by almost everyone, all day, left and right, and were utter victims of everyone without any ability for retaliation or recourse.

At this level, most people become reactionary, because they want revenge, have unresolved issues, or merely to vent, or to discover that things can happen. At this level too, one must start understanding this concept and learn how to use the sword so to say, without hesitation.

Here, we have the statement of Zeus, to NOT be afraid to destroy.

The level to understand here is someone who just learned to defend themselves. Use of this capability might be necessary in more than one ways.

At this level you must understand: That you SHOULD be able, willingly, and CAPABLE of taking revenge, and that you must be READY to defend yourself. You also might have to train by using that sword, so to say, and swords cut and produce blood.

Level 2: When one has understood the above can happen, but one is still able to do things to a medium extent Spiritually, but they can ask for help and Justice from the Gods, and it will be delivered when one does spells or magick, yet the extent is not yet on the "Disastrous" level.

The level to understand here is someone with moderate power but still not devastating extent.

At this level, many things from level 1 have been fixed. Revenge might have been taken in the past, or one might have healed.

One feels less negative and vulnerable towards attacks, and learning from level 1 and understanding the ethics of justice and how one can defend themselves, has set one largely free from offence one received before by being totally unable to defend themselves or understand the meaning of this.

Therefore, here judgement can start beginning to take place more clearly in the parameters of things and doing them.

At this level you must understand: That the power you are building up, has an effect, that increases itself, but now, one must further understand the reasoning behind such power. Why it exists, how to acts, and how it can increase, and what OUTCOMES this starts to produce, and WHY if it should be used.

Level 3: When one is really advanced and really powerful, and one's fury or spell-work can cause very serious damage. At this level, you would judge me as a pacifist if you looked at me from layer 1.

From phase 2, you will understand if you are on this end where you have seen suffering and that it not always lead to the anticipated Justice that it promises, but rather can create endless problems or an array of problems.

I would be a "pacifist" in your eyes for not swinging the sword left and right, or I would not make sense to you from layer 3. In fact, you might actually be confused on if I have a sense of justice whatsoever, if you don't understand how that is.

To explain, on this level, rage has to be controlled and kept at a minimum.

I no longer curse people almost whatsoever. The sole exemption here is Spiritual Warfare against the enemy, for obvious reasons.

Minimal offences or what be managed with conversation, I don't get into cursing. I might even forgive enemies and those who threaten me because I don't want to further give them a more pitiful existence than the one they already have, and if limits are understood and obeyed, there will be no recourse. Damage that doesn't reach me, I don't act against.

Here is also another case that if one acts against other beings who are stronger, they pay a greater price themselves for doing so than these people they direct their attacks against.

But here is a level where recourse is extremely heavy too if retaliation ever occurs, if there is actually a terrible behaviour on the other side of the isle. It is the worst level of all the previous ones reaction wise, even if on the surface it looks as much restraint, or even peacefulness or even some mistake it for pacifism.

In reality, that is a result of being influenced way less in the case of Zevists, and not the case of pacifism and enemy fake disabler morals. The opposite is the reality here.

Pacifism is what manifests on level 1 after full emasculation of the mind and spirit, and although these two things on the surface might look "similar", they only "look similar" when one has no clue at what they are saying or looking at. They are completely dissimilar.

That's because a lapse of anger when you are further down, or engaging in cursing, can, unless done very carefully, do very big damage to people. Hate here is even worse, meaning, persistent hatred. I don't want someone to suffer for 40 years or lose their life over nothing, or especially a mistake.

The level to understand here is someone who is in the military, or someone who has power to actually take life away. One lapse of judgement here is all it takes.

As the Gods also start trusting your judgement, you don't want to disappoint them by acting like a child any more. If the Gods see me acting in disappointing manners and not in piousness, then I will be put to act in the proper way.

The Gods also won't excuse me if I don't fight a justified war on this level, like against the enemy, and I will be ruled out as a coward who did not serve justice, which is unacceptable on this level.

At this level you must understand: On that level you will have both the power, and the knowledge of what it can do to a great extent. On this level you must start getting interested in WHAT this does and what REASONING is going on, because without such, devastating amounts of power will only destroy you and others and completely flatten you if you have no idea about this, especially in the long-term. Here, your record as a person matters a lot.

In regards to the exceptions of larger events, this will be analysed on a completely different subject.

Lastly, one more comment: Feel comfortable about where you are, because the Gods and one's level of power are here to ensure harmony. As we raise our power with the Gods, the Gods will also give you teaching and example through both life experience, reading and understanding [such as from this post] to help you navigate your existence in a better way.

As you go, you understand that their loving hand above you is actually always correct, but that we humans have still many things to understand and yet more to see.
