am I delusional?
When your ideation doesn’t match with that of the vast majority of humanity, and you are 100% solid in your beliefs, they have a habit of terming you delusional. In a way this is a compliment, because it signifies they appreciate the sincerity of your views. Lots of people have told me that they respect my views. Only my brother has called me delusional.
Is that because others won’t say it to my face?
I was prompted to ask this because I’m watching “The Messiah” on Netflix. In this series there’s a character who appears and speaks directly, charismatically, and with prophetical authority as a messenger.
The story unfolds and he is discovered to have been previously hospitalised for delusions of being a spokesperson from God : a messiah complex. He is called the Messiah by people and has not given himself that name. Jesus never called himself the Messiah either. He too was a messenger.
The point I wish to make about this is whether or not it is relevant in any way to one’s mission/purpose/destiny how one is regarded. It never troubles me that people might dislike me, as long as they hear me. Even if they start out thinking I’m extreme, before long if they do their own research and due diligant truth seeking they will have to awaken. Thats the whole point of way-showers, oracles and messengers – to shine a greater light upon that which has been concealed, denied and overlooked by the devious trickery of established mores. A long history of calling something ok gives it a superficial veneer of okness. It is borne along and reinforced by authority, habit, and the rule of law, and it is perpetuated by common apathy.
To this day people are murdered for speaking inconvenient truths. They are incarcerated, forcibly medicated and silenced. Indeed, a key means of discerning Truth is the measures some will go to suppress it.
Why do I care so much about the suffering of others? How come I empathise and have compassion for them to the point of risking my safety and comfort?
Because for me it is not possible to feign blindness, fake ignorance, or refuse to bear witness.
IF MY LIFE HAS ANY PURPOSE IT IS NOT TO BE RATIONAL, logical or coldly scientific at the expense of my higher faculties. We humans use a mere fraction of our capacities, and are securely, snugly oblivious to the most important ones.
