Unbegotten You were,
Undefeated You are,
Ineffable You shall remain,
Greatest God.

[Hedj ☾ @iahhedj]

Honored be Jupiter, Unconquered, Greatest, Thunderer!

Have a blessed Thursday.

[Hedj ☾ @iahhedj]

@SacredWestOG Unfair to include Delphi, nothing else stood a chance...

@WodensMonke "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this."

"All the gold, upon or under the Earth, is not worth exchanging for Virtue."
- Plato

Think, speak and act only out of goodness, truth and beauty.
Rein in your passions, steady the mind, and you will drive your chariot towards glory.

[Hedj ☾ @iahhedj]

Those in "spirituality" tend to automatically assume the spiritual is somewhere "out there", disconnected from material reality.
At best, that it's "another layer".

No, it's right here. A lot of these things can be explained in physical, scientific terms, or will be soon.

[Hedj ☾ @iahhedj]

"You are God having a human experience."
...okay, so what? What next?

Denial of the importance of physical existence is spiritual poison.

[Hedj ☾ @iahhedj]

@alexpapaefilius In Neoplatonism, the myths are understood to be allegorical, pointing to cosmic realities like the divine intellect "overpowering" certain forces.

The God of the Old Testament, however, is claimed to have ended the life of a lot of babies on a multitude of occasions, literally.

Unbegotten You were,

Ineffable You shall remain,

@alexpapaefilius Lord Zeus has produced no rap songs, sorry, you must have him confused with someone else.

[Hedj ☾ @iahhedj]

@iamtom799 Not sure who this Zephania guy is, but the Lord your God Zeus would never destroy the Gods of the earth.

[Hedj ☾ @iahhedj]

"For the Demiurge [Jupiter, Zeus] does not make by looking outside of himself. It is by looking into himself he establishes the cosmos. His thought produces, His memory preserves the forms, and His gaze orders the Universe."
- Proclus

[Hedj ☾ @iahhedj]

@alexpapaefilius @raffaeleiozia Zeus is the infinite and true light.

[Hedj ☾ @iahhedj]

@ChildofLight541 That which dwells in the cosmos and actualizes potency.

[Hedj ☾ @iahhedj]

@McCarthy_JT Zeus, in my view, is greater.

He is primordially the Nirguna Brahman, manifest as the Saguna Brahman. His act is Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.

His nature manifested in time and space enacts the identity of Indra.

[Hedj ☾ @iahhedj]

@ChildofLight541 Yeah, all living beings.

[Hedj ☾ @iahhedj]

@Terbonati Because you are an ignorant individual, we all are to a degree.
"Withdraw within yourself and look", act from Virtue, and you'll see the path open up before you.

[Hedj ☾ @iahhedj]

@raffaeleiozia Correct in the case of humans, but there's nothing beyond Zeus' design.

[Hedj ☾ @iahhedj]

@plutotfolie Noted, mr. Santa Delphinius

[Hedj ☾ @iahhedj]

@MithrasDominus You could argue most deities are misinterpreted somewhat, people don't tend to be that well studied or experienced in general.

[Hedj ☾ @iahhedj]

Ecstasy (ἔκστασις) means "standing outside of".

Modern ideas of Dionysus misunderstand the wisdom in this: facing external reality beyond your preconceived notions to find wisdom, as well as Theurgy.

They took ideas of Hedonism and "questioning society", and ignored the rest.

[SacredWest @SacredWestOG]

Which of the Greek Gods is the most misunderstood today?

- Zeus?
- Hades?
- Ares?
- Dionysus?

And why?

[Hedj ☾ @iahhedj]

@Heliotrophy Hopium here is that this also allows an undeservedly gracious period to fix these conditions and reverse course.
