Persevere
As you walk the Path of Return, the aeons of this nature will begin to take a deep interest in you. They can sense when they are losing control of a microcosm. Every candidate who succeeds in walking the Path of Return weakens the grip of the aeons on humanity by a significant factor. Because the aeons of this nature know you better than you know yourself, every trick in the book will be applied in an attempt to divert your focus and deter you from your Great Task.
Your weaknesses will be probed, your desires will be stimulated, your doubts will be inflamed, your fears, exaggerated. You will be laughed at, ridiculed and spat upon by others. Provocation and challenge will come from those you least expect. Throughout the entire ordeal, you must continue to bear your Cross. This is your via dolorosa.
Never lose sight of the Goal. Be in the world, but not of the world. What you are seeking lies beyond the setting sun. Where you are headed requires the complete renunciation of the world, and of all the matter therein.
The Struggle will be great, but the Rewards will be even greater.

Thanks for the post and for such an important topic.
Words are easily used but also hide their meanings in plain sight.
Persevere or perseverance come from latin per(very)-severus(strict) , severus as in severity.
People today are not severe or strict enough in their search for the truth.
We easily jump in any fairy tales without questionning if all the pieces of the puzzle hold together.
The faculty of reason and logic have been given to humanity to be our guiding light on the spiritual quest.
To persevere require you to be convinced of what you are doing.. Not convinced like a religious fanatic but by the guiding light of reason and logic.
In the past, philosophers were at the same time mathematician , physicist , chemist etc..applying the science of reason and logic.
Allowing them to shed light and persevere in an era of fanatism, ignorance and obscurantism.
Maybe some hidden meanings in those words.
Reason as in 'Ra-son' with "Ra"(Sun God) and "son".. and Logic (as in logos).. maybe just a coincidence.
