It's extremely important when we want to "help others", to both be able to help them, but above all to be able to help ourselves first.

Quite a few Zevsts, especially those who are new or those who still have a bleeding heart for other people, want "others" to reap the benefits of the path. Going out of the way of their own development, they can find beaten and failed cases anywhere they can, in order to "turn them to the light of the Gods". The above is normal to an extent, since one has benefited from the path and a sense of good-will makes one want to share this benefit. I know the feeling firsthand here.

Yet the situation is that when helping others we have to take many things in consideration, because sometimes we think we want to help others but primarily we do not take the core facts in consideration. For one, many people out there are hard-stuck, not able yet to be helped, and many are simply not ready yet. We mean either at the level of their souls, or at a personality level. Ignoring these can mean that one might want to "help" others, not so much to help them, but actually to solve other emotional needs in themselves rather than truly help another human being.

In many cases of novices and other people who also get very unhinged, they can also start pretending they are "leading and helping" others. In most cases of these that I have observed over the years, they are nowhere on the level of wisdom or understanding to truly help others, let alone from such a position. However, since getting to an actual position of helping requires a lot of self-help and self-evolution help, they try to bypass this to gain ill begotten gains of feelings like that they are the savior of somebody else.

In this process not only others can be greatly misguided, but one is simply doing all of this in order to bypass the most important key tenet of Zevism. Self-help. If one does not self-help and self-improve, there are not many things one can do for other people. While that might sound contradictory, one must actually be first established in themselves, in order to move forward and be able to finally, help other people.

Sometimes also some very well meaning SS, do send me e-mails about lost cases and other people who simply won't help themselves [either in the path, or outside of it] and how much they want to help them. The situation is however if other people do insist of not helping themselves, no amount of force you exert upon them, is going to change this. And if it does change them, then consistent maintenance is needed.

Now this brings another topic here.

So if these people do not want to be helped and they won't help themselves, is it moral to leave them without any help, even if they are a Zevist? We are not talking about leaving them in a totally helpless state, but we must be careful to not spend all our energies into a sink-hole that does not want to be helped. The add-on that one at some point did something good for themselves, which was to approach the Gods, does not excuse them for being a sink-hole of creation, time and energy, that siphons the existence of other people.

On the contrary, versus a random individual down the street, self-proclaimed Zevists must NOT in any-case be in this category. If they are, they have a monumental work to do, and only they can do this on themselves. Assistance from others can never replace self help here.

When and if these people try to enforce you to help them while all their actions say they do NOT want to be helped, this robs you of energy that could be used for you to help yourself, or help others who actually WANT or NEED to be helped. These people who also truly want to receive help, they are taking this and actually start picking up on their own. Those who do not truly want to be helped, always and eternally want "help" which goes nowhere.

To understand if a person is truly worthy of being helped, one must help step by step and see how they implement certain topics. I have known people who complained about the same problems for lengths such as 5 to 10 years, and never did anything to better their situation. Same patterns are repeated, without any fundamental change to change them. They will also always try to weasel out of the responsibility and hard work required to fix certain ill fated situations [they brought these also upon themselves] and they were always unsatisfied with any "help". These types will be totally ungrateful, parasitic and for all intents worthless.

These also are looking for servants, not for helpers or people to grow with. Servants to a cycle in their own damnation. These types are to be avoided for those who want to grow. 2-3 of these individuals in your life, and you will lose all your potential while you try to "help them". "Help" here is the key word on how they sink out all your time, energy and existence, over themselves who are barren fields that will never yield fruits. That's because they do not want to plow their own field and their own self, and they want to waste your time instead. Avoid. These situations are not helped by the Gods either, as the Gods see directly that these beings are jokers and lazy.

In the case of these individuals these types do not want to be helped, they are attention whores, time sinkholes, evil people, and might also be jealous individuals who want to be coddled just because of their own particularly large egos. These egos are also bent on destruction and self-destruction. The more one also helps these types, the more they will never evolve, as one is not allowing them to experience the disasters they are creating for themselves.

That's like helping a drug addict with pocket money for food, and they go spend it all on drugs again and then you keep doing it. Pretty soon, and after they spend all of this money on drugs, their only complaints will be on why you didn't give them more and more crack money. Then they start hating you and they can also become your worse nightmares in life.

In another example, let's say there are two people who are encountering the risk of homelessness. They both need 2000$ to be given some time. One of them has a major gambling problem, and one knows they will likely gamble it the moment they give it to them. Clearly, no help should be given. The other person, immediately takes the 2000$, saves themselves and goes to find a decent job, and they do not have the gambling problem.

The gambler will not only be ungrateful, but also spiteful to the helper. The latter person, will be a worthwhile person to help, and one's help will actually help them build a better life. The difference between the two is that one is decided to change the situation, the other wants merely a bailout from consequences of false addiction.

As about cases where the individuals themselves have chosen a path of self-destruction, one cannot help there either. Because if you help you are likely going to prolong the destructive route, while the person continues this and abuses this help. Effectively one is helping someone to just destroy themselves, you are not helping them.

Now finally there is the category of the people who truly want to be helped and they are also ready to fully receive this help. Like a ground which is fertile for seeds, everything done for them will actually bear fruits and they will implement things. The speed and persistence of implementation, is the direct obvious reality of how much a person truly wants to be helped. If there is no persistency and implementation of advice given, this means a person is still debating change, not decided on it. We have all been in this category in at least one area of our lives.

The key moment where one can also finally accept to receive help, is when the bulk of our choices also start to be so damning, that one has to "either-or" when it comes to improving or getting help. When this state is reached, if one does not receive help, disaster will follow shortly afterward.

The wise are those who take help, implement it, stay persistent on this, and who remain fertile grounds to receive the help of the Gods. That's how one should aim to be, if they want to receive the maximum benefit of this path. And then when one does overcome more and more issues, the more effective one becomes to both help others, but also to understand the nature of those who are truly able to receive help versus those who won't.

To conclude here, we must not "help others" as a means to avoid helping ourselves, nor waste our time "helping others" who are NOT willing to be helped. We must help only those who WANT to be helped and who make our help WORTHWHILE, while simultaneously we are also helping ourselves. This is why the Gods also do not invest on every random human being on the planet, but those who show actual willingness to join them and to evolve. The rest of human beings have to actively display this in order to receive special attention.

Most humans out there do not want to truly advance or be helped [they are not ready yet] so they still linger or places where they will never receive any true help [like Christianity or Islam]. These souls are not there yet in the spiritual area. Maybe they are good at other areas, but they are not ready to evolve on the spiritual area yet. That should not affect us; we have ourselves and others on the path to actually help, where our help is going to also be valid and fruitful. Do not help barren or dead fields that are not willing to bring help upon themselves, or who will never bear fruit for others.
