E Respect, Reverence, and Belief In the Gods
Oh, in all my realism, I see a gleaming star. It burns so powerfully at the heights of the heavens.
The Gods. They who are here to help humanity rise to higher levels of understanding, power, and consciousness.
What great fate, considering all else, to have the Gods! What great stupidity to not want to have them in our lives!
As far as our Gods are concerned, they help us reach the Final Goal.
There are Gods that are greater, and their helpers and assistants. In pleasure, they will guide in attainments.
The more we understand this task and respect, revere, and believe in them, the smoother our advancement will be, allowing us to sail more confidently through these troubled seas.
To respect the Gods, one must consider the universe and them as part of it. For what are they except of beings? Eternal forces!
To revere them, you must understand that you, too, exist in this hierarchy. We stand in the middle: between the worm and the pig, the Hero, the Daemon, and the God.
To believe in them, we must know them.
And only like can know like…
E Prayer:
"O Satya, Master of All the Gods,
O Satya, Master of Ourselves!"

The Ethic in Ancient Greek
Ἐν πάσῃ τῇ τοῦ ὄντος θεωρίᾳ ἀστέρα λαμπρὸν ὁρῶ· σφόδρα καίεται ἐν τοῖς ὕψεσι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.
Οἱ Θεοί· οὗτοι πάρεσιν ἵνα τὸ ἀνθρώπινον γένος εἰς ὑψηλοτέραν σύνεσιν, δύναμιν καὶ συνείδησιν ἀνάγωσιν.
Ὡς μεγάλη μοῖρα, παρὰ πάντα τἆλλα, Θεοὺς ἔχειν· ὡς μεγάλη ἀφροσύνη μὴ βούλεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ βίῳ ἡμῶν.
Οἱ Θεοὶ ἡμῶν πρὸς τὸ ἔσχατον τέλος ἡμᾶς ἄγουσιν.
Εἰσὶ Θεοὶ μείζονες καὶ τούτων βοηθοὶ καὶ ὑπηρέται· μετὰ χαρᾶς ἐπὶ τὰ κατορθώματα ἡμᾶς ὁδηγήσουσιν.
Ὅσῳ μᾶλλον τὸ ἔργον τοῦτο συνίεμεν καὶ αὐτοὺς σεβόμεθα, τιμῶμεν καὶ πιστεύομεν, τοσούτῳ ῥᾷον προκόψομεν, θαρραλεώτερον διὰ θαλασσῶν ταραχωδῶν πλέοντες.
Σεβόμενον τοὺς Θεοὺς δεῖ τὸν κόσμον θεωρεῖν καὶ ἐκείνους ἐν αὐτῷ· τί γάρ εἰσιν εἰ μὴ ὄντα, δυνάμεις αἰώνιοι;
Τιμῶν αὐτοὺς γνῶθι ὅτι καὶ σὺ ἐν τῇ τάξει ταύτῃ ὑπάρχεις· ἐν μέσῳ ἑστήκαμεν, μεταξὺ σκώληκος καὶ χοίρου, ἥρωος, δαίμονος καὶ Θεοῦ.
Ἵνα πιστεύωμεν αὐτοῖς, γνῶναι αὐτοὺς δεῖ.
Τὸ ὅμοιον δὲ μόνῳ τῷ ὁμοίῳ γνωστόν…
