Perhaps and if so I apologize. BUT, this post was not made to score that point to be sarcastic even though I knew it could come across that way. It was made as a reality wake up call.

The OP basically claims to have figured a lot of things out to be at the top of his game so to speak, at the top of a lot of games in a way. When asked what the next step was he basically replied that it was to spread the message on to others. What he is talking about is starting a religion. All established religions started as cults that made good.

Jesus was a cult leader in a time of many Gods and Goddessess. Buddha was a cult leader in the beginning. As was Mohammad.

Now, look at what happens to these personages (cult leaders) historically and today and what do you see? Generally if they do not lead the revolution, then those who are the Son of God, the Gods' Wives, those who know the Way or have the Word or are the One tend not to fare very well or tend to loose the way of their vision if they do. Best case scenario is that their vision is lost in the generations after their deaths. In ALL instances in history this is the brutal truth. Why should today or the future be different just because this one poster thinks he has some stuff figured out?

If I take him at his word and his revelations last more than one day/week/month/year, he will have a long hard road ahead of him. And it will result in the brutal and bloody death of himself and all he loves OR the corruption of his vision. I'm so very sorry, but this is the truth of what it is to be human.

I encourage him to look very closely at the road ahead. I honestly tell him his words did not move me in such a way that I felt stirred to join his revelations, his cult-to-be. I suggested others responded the way I did because the caliber of the responses here. Thus if he does not possess innate attractiveness AND heavy charisma, he'd better go back to school for a very very long time.

These are just my opinions but they are based on seeing these things come and go and knowing a tiny bit about history. I mentioned golden Mercedes as a potential modern outcome. Other things include drinking poison. We've seen it before. We WILL see it again.

I do not begrudge the visionaries and those who feel they know the WAY but their path is hard because they are stuck in humanity and reality. And history informs me that they will fail. Potentially at great personal and societal cost.

I'm okay with sarcasm corpus calllosum, just not treating people like chattel or Orwellian unpersons. I'm not trying to make an unperson here. I'm trying to make a bit of a wake up call. Not to enlightenment but to a horrible reality that we all share. And that is the reality of the human condition and how we deal with our dilemmas and fears via religion and how that inevitably and always gets perverted from a wonderful vision into pain and corruption.

Sorry but that is my perception of things.
