Zealotry (Ζηλωτισμός)

-From my text on the (Logos The Word)

For countless centuries, man has been blinded and misled by the doctrines and expression of faith exposed. It is a form of fanaticism that has nothing to do with spirituality or philosophy. It is more manifest and bred in political and religious zealotry that is mistaken for devotion.

Devotion in itself should be understood as being universal in its practice and accepting of its merit. It is wrong when it is embedded and professed in an ideology that is corrupted with words and meaningless substance. Zealotry begets irrationality. It has no purpose that is justifiable or claim that is reasonable.

When men do things in the name of their zealotry, they not only incite violence, but they commit it against their fellow brethren of mankind. Philosophy must never follow in the footsteps of this type of ignorance and rise of imprudence.

The foundation of a belief should never be sequestered to the fallaciousness and resentment towards others, who differ in their practice and beliefs. We must learn to accept our differences and resolve them with a mutual understanding of life and what it truly represents.

As a society, we have witnessed the chaos and instability caused by careless zealotry. Many people have either died at the hands of zealots or have been exiled from their communities because of injustice. The ignorant ones must not prevail over rationality.

There is no need to become a martyr for a cause, when there is common sense in consciousness that teaches us to be enlightened not by deceitful motives, but by wisdom. It is easy to make a false accusation against another person than to recognise one's bias perception.

The Logos which is the word and source of reasoning in Meleticism is to be interpreted for its philosophy, not for the misrepresentation of its dogma. The Logos is not a sacred book. Instead, it serves as an inspiration for people than a devotion to a god. It is corrupted, when people have corrupted its philosophy.

Once we have accepted that the belief in the Enas is not a devotion but a realisation of universal existence, then we can begin to understand the true essence of life and the world that encompasses us. Meleticism has no hidden secrets that cannot be revealed.

Nor any truth that cannot be reached. The zealots are those individuals, whose knowledge is tainted by emotions and thoughts that have no logical justification. We are all capable of becoming one, if we forsake our soul to the worship of a god that commands us on his behalf to do what he should do for himself. Even the heretic has a voice.

Humans were never meant to be gods or demigods. We were meant to be what we have been in our essence since our birth, human beings. The One teaches us to acknowledge that fact. It also distinguishes between the world that is our reality and the world of ideas.

To use our sentient consciousness to enable us to explore and discover the ultimate truth that lies beyond our perception and observation. A man does not bow to the Enas for reverence. The Enas is not a god to be worshipped, but something more of transcendence. It is the source for universal existence and the awakening of a conscious mind.

Men that follow a god with their zealotry will ultimately be corrupted by their unyielding faith and be impervious to the truth. Men that understand the Enas will be enlightened. One is a path to nowhere except disdain, and the other is a path to somewhere that is measured by the fulfilment of our virtues. That somewhere is the Enas, where the zealot is too blind to see the light of reasoning.
