Obstacles along the way

Aurora, your changes in life are a good example. You broke out of your own chains and started living and seeking what truly matters: the soul. A lesson to the Will of many.

Talibah and Jonathan, honesty is among the qualities most valued by the Asetians and the great masters. A quality only found in those of courage and purity.

Dishonesty is a song of cowards. The catalysts are ego and fear, but the signs are for lack of evolution.

You mentioned an important thing, Victor. We all talk about different ways but you touched on the spot.
"started living and seeking what truly matters: the soul. A lesson to the Will of many."

It was a very good idea to revive this post. I've been thinking about it for a couple of days now.

Talibah said two years ago that "... it is also my belief, that these obstacles evolve with time, to match the level of the individual, creating harder and harder barriers to navigate."

I would respond: yes, in retrospective that is how it's been for me. I have overcome the greater initial obstacles but now there are new ones in my way. Obstacles change, and perhaps as you advance in your path you are a bit more prepared to face and resolve them.

Initially, my greatest obstacles had to do with distance, time and the solitude of no personal contact to those who were akin to my quest. I have come to understand that those things are not as important as they seem. Distance is nothing in this realm, time can be used as an asset and solitude is also a great teacher. Also, I have found an excellent network and forged some hopefully long lasting relationships very ripe in the exchange of support and learning.

The other great obstacle, which we all fight against at one point or another, is Ego. As Nebibi very wisely says, it is a veil which, once lifted, can let you see more clearly. I am and will always be fighting it, to some degree, but the fight is different as it becomes much less of a foe and more of a shadow.

Good doses of honesty and humility have also served their purpose. I might not have resolved many of my downfalls, some of which are slowing down my progression, but I am much more aware of them than ever before. I no longer blame the world or other people for them, and having taken full responsibility I am much more prepared to be honest with myself and work on them.

And there's so much gained.

I have understood that the links that were established before will resurface eventually. Some already have.

I have left behind many fears, and done many things that I kept postponing.

I have traveled to Kemet. I have opened up and listened. I have felt.

I no longer question my Path nor my link to the Asetian tradition. It is as natural as the body I inhabit.

The new obstacles are more abstract, as they have to do with my view of the world and its forms, and of course getting at the core of my Self.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have helped along the way and still are. I only hope to be able to offer as much in return.

Sungodaurora, I would like to express that I admire your courage. I hope your new life is as fulfilling as you expect it to be.

That was a beautiful post Syrianeh, I am glad honesty is being valued here.
SungodAurora, it is good to see someone pursuing what they Will so that they can grow. It takes a lot of courage.

Syrianeh ****

Thank You, Victor.
Thank You, Syrianeh.
Thank You, Nebibi.
I never expect or assume...I can only try, with this I have accomplished many things...

Em Hotep Everyone.

I have not introduced myself before, although I have written some messages on the forum. I'll attach the introduction as I write in this section. I am a wanderer from the edge of the world who started his own journey a long time ago. All kinds of things have happened along the way, for which I am grateful, but despite that, handling some things has required time, patience, superhuman strength and a lot of learning. Adversity and pain make you grow, but good things are also completely proportional and make you grow too. I think the Ying-Yang concept of opposites complementing each other fits this perfectly. Brother Mystic wrote a great blog post on this topic (Ying-Yang) that I recommend to everyone. A Lady, who I greatly respect on Discord and here too, memorably said "One cannot achieve mastery without pain and adversity". This is absolutely true.

When I started my journey, I knew nothing about the Order. I was amazed at the amount of adversity, but I was also grateful for the good times. I created relationships along the way that I now feel are useful, even though I don't always agree on things, and I don't have to. Disagreeing makes us think about how we could do things better - more wisely, gives the mind freedom to think, to develop. Maybe make mistakes that also grow, as my Brother Victor said in another thread.

I've always been looking for something, wondering what's missing? Why can't I find the missing pieces in my life? Until I found fulfillment, a spark that was missing that I hadn't understood before - I knew I had come home. I devoured pretty much all the posts on the Forum, found Discord - all the wise guys there, who are here too. I spent tens if not hundreds of hours of my time devouring information - learning. I realized that the Masters and Magisters had been walking beside me the whole time when I was just stumbling. I knew, I understood, I felt, how much I felt. What a feelings. I will give an example; I make music. I compose, write lyrics and sing, I also play guitar but that's all what i want to say about guitar playin. Every now and then when I create a good composition or good lyrics (at least my opinion), I feel such euphoria that words cannot describe it. I experienced a similar euphoria when I discovered the Order and the Primordial Dragon Coven. I was able to draw on Their wisdom, magic and magical things (the most beautiful of the arts - magic), Your wisdom, Your wise words and texts.

Loyalty, Honour, Respect, Love, the Endless Thirst for Knowledge, are unquenchable values ​​that you can lean on even in times of adversity, but also in good times. Make together - Together we enjoy the fruits of our labor. May the Wisdom of the Order, Your Wisdom, and the roar and unquenchable fire of the Primordial Dragon guide our way in the decades, centuries, and millennia to come.

I apologize in advance for my bad English, (english is not my first language) and my long text.

May the Ka be with Your Ka.

Yours
Johnny
