Zeus - and some questions
Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2017 5:43 pm
I woke up early hours of this morning from a dream that had something to do with Zeus.
It was unpleasant, but more then that I got this really strange feeling from it that's hard to explain. I remember thinking "what was it about???" in my semi-awake state. I didn't want to go back to sleep, but I did manage to fall asleep again. It's so weird I cannot recall a single thing, all I know is that it was about Zeus.
I went to the CH Encyclopedia to check his associations and sure enough, his day is Monday...
This isn't the first time an Immortal has popped up on the day they are associated with.
I'm going to share my feelings on him, but please keep in mind that my intent is definitely not to offend those of you who do like Zeus (or Zeus himself). I just want to explain how I personally feel, and if it comes across that way, then I apologise in advance.
I've always naturally favoured the outcasts and rebels. I also lean towards Immortals that are not really known about. I love mysteries.
So this is how I view Zeus..
I see him as Mr. Popular - the guy who loves the limelight, the attention, the recognition.. and myself as the girl who eye rolls at this. If this is true, I understand that he is leader of the Greek Immortals so in all fairness, he has every right to be this way. Although in reality, I am aware that this really cannot encompass all of his personality (it would be silly and unfair to believe that) now with that said, what is Zeus REALLY like? if anyone reading this feels differently about him or experiences him differently, please do respond here and let me know!
To be fair, it isn't just about Zeusy.
"Popularity" in mainstream society terms to me personally, means that a person has followed and upheld the rules & standards of mainstream society, which often makes them popular among their peers (work, social life or both). I'm not talking about the awesome offbeat tracks like this community where CH is popular for completely different reasons. So for "mainstream popularity" - It's not (and has never been) for me. I am a rebel at heart.
I like to bend the rules a bit, and I love to work with Chaos. I respect people who enjoy challenging the standards and perceptions of society in today's world. I especially appreciate people and things that are considered different and out of the norm. I see beauty and potential in unusual places.
Back to Zeus.. to me, I get the impression that he is mostly about Order, which has me thinking it may involve keeping to a society's rules & standards. If this is true about him, I can respect that. But will he push that on me? That's my main concern.
It's more likely, an unnecessary concern I have.
Order... For the most part, I honestly feel like it's controlling, restrictive and suffocating.
Yet, I recognise and accept that there is a need for it within this world. Ironically, I'm currently sitting in a rather Orderly lifestyle (this time, with no complaints and actually with some appreciation). My mother is elderly and has developed signs of Dementia, which is pretty hard on all of us as a family (including her). She is seeing a Neurologist next week. So at this point in time I need to be there for her as much as possible, especially as this condition only worsens. This is the reason for why my life just doesn't seem to have any room for change right now, it's currently (and needs to be) revolving around her. Having said that, my mother is changing.. and we as a family, need to change (adapt) with it.
And maybe that's the lesson I need to learn if I invite Zeus in - change my outlook on Order.
Yikes, Zeus has his work cut out for him is all I can say.. :lol:
Due to my concern, I have avoided him. And that might be the very reason he appeared this morning. But if he is trying to get my attention, then why can't I recall my dream? :facepalm::
Looking from the outside in, being open and receptive to Zeus in order to resolve my feelings about him would be the right thing to do. I'd just like to get other people's opinions of him so I can make a decision. What is he really like with you, personally?
Another problem is, I have my hands quite full at the moment - Loki is my priority right now, and then there is Aphrodite who I am still thinking about often so I know she would like me to work with her. Then there is Poseidon, who I want to work with as well. Plus I have an Immortal Reverse Adoption as my BOGO for one of my CH orders that should complete fairly soon. Lots of work with regards to Immortals lately, and it's all really exciting but there's a lot going on at once.
