Chosen Ones · Crowns of Mist · Self-Made Messiah Complex
⁘ “We enter the messiah complex. Being the chosen one, holding the truth, the revelation that others know not. Whoever appointed you into that role? It was you yourself who stepped into the shoes and marched on the stage. Now, recognizing realities that the masses see not, that's fine. What's problematic is your crafting an identity around all of that. Embracing the temptations of the ego, you are a messiah made of mist, all hollow on the inside.”
Beyond that, but connected,
we enter messiah complex.
Your speciality, you being the chosen one,
holding the truth, holding the revelation
that others know not.
And whoever that appointed you into that role?
It wasn't from heavens high,
it wasn't by the world.
It was you, yourself,
who stepped into the shoes and marched on the stage.
Now, seeing things, recognizing realities
that the masses see not, that's fine.
What becomes problematic is
your crafting an identity around all of that.
When we're at a point
where you are crafting profiles of yourself,
writing eulogies of your realization,
trying to convince half the internet of how special you are,
and why everyone should listen to you,
your revelations, then you know,
you've gone down the deep end.
In the best case scenario,
all the noise you make about yourself
simply drowns in the ocean of
manifold messiahs saturating our modern world.
If you are yet to refuse the temptations of the ego,
yet to cut the tentacles of subjective distinction,
if you are still immersed in all this identity craft,
you are a messiah made of mist, all hollow on the inside.
