Sometimes I Feel as Though I'm a Prophet

24 Comments

Yes, as the title suggests, I strongly and firmly believe sometimes that I am some form of a prophet. Yes, strange, I know, but true in every way. What kind of prophet?

I believe that I will be perhaps just one in a humanity-altering event some day in the near future. I believe that I will revolutionize humanity into a higher and penultimate form that will culminate in a utopian society where we live in absolute and utter harmony.

Why do I have these thoughts? Well, to elaborate every reason would take me quite a while and more time than I currently have to type this, yet it all has to do with my ideals, which in my eyes are revolutionary.

So yes, they're just thoughts and possibilites, yet I believe them sometimes. What do you think?
Do you think it's normal?

Do you do a lot of cocaine? PCP, maybe?
Ok I'm gonna have to answer this negatively. Please don't take this personally.

Of the 6 billion people on earth, the chance for one to be able to achieve this is ridiculously small. Also, to be able to raise the whole human population behind you under one universally greater idea, is practically impossible, with today's diversity, beliefs, and ignorance. To become the epitome of humanity may be a bit much to say to oneself.
I'm not saying I'm the only one. Me and some other like minded individuals (who are scattered throughout the world and insanely difficult to find) will one day link up and begin this revolution. I'm awaiting the day.
HAHAHAHA If that was so, I couldn't be writing all these ideas coherently now, couldn't I? Idiot. -_-
Having what you view to be unique ideals not an indication that you're going to change the world. It's also naive, even deluded to think there's going to be a time when we live in 'utter harmony' together (unless you're an advocate of brain washing... which probably would make it possible if done on a massive scale... hmmm... oh well, another topic for another day I suppose XD).
However, I accept that I'm not going to convince you of that, but I would suggest you go out and try to change the world in little ways (for example, you're the feminist wan if I remember correctly, so maybe go out and be an active member of a womans rights group if you aren't already? Or maybe stand for government?) and don't waste too much of your time waiting for your part this humanity altering event you speak of. By all means, do what you can to change things on a larger scale as well if you want to, but you don't want to wake up one day and realise you've spent your life waiting for something that's not going to happen when you could have been making things better for the people around you at a local level : )
Also, although this is unrelated to the story, it's perfectly possible to type coherently on cocaine. My brother has an addiction and holds down 2 jobs (not that I'm insinuating you do coke or anything XD)
Precisely. I might work my way up through the ranks, until one day I gain the prominence necessary for this revoltion.
are you in some kind of cult?
Can I be one of your deciples
You can't be serious; are you joking? This is a joke, right? Why would you post something like this on IsItNormal.com? You BS posters are really annoying sometimes...
Wait, you've hear of free speech, right? You must be joking, right? You haven't heard of free speech? Wow, you BS comment posters are nerve-wracking sometimes... -_- FAIL.
classicalman114: you are completely right. a great wonderful event will take place very soon, and indeed, our human civilization will re-organize in a much more efficient structural system which main goal is to provide for the advancement of consciousness, and therefore, the re-establishment of harmony. you are NOT deluded. it is the truth. and there are many humans like YOU and ME who are predisposed to this condition. i'll send you a private, we gotta talk man. you are the second human i find who i know is part of this raise in consciousness. don't let anyone fool you into believing it is unreal what YOU KNOW, it's ok. they just don't know. when the time comes, our actions will be evident. i'm a kid too like you, and it is of my understanding, it is young people who will oversee this re-structuring of the planetary experience. hope to hear from you. :)
Do you have silent seizures?

There is a condition of brain injury that can explain this I think.

Very rare but there are people who have silent seizures (it has to be a certain part of their brain) that make them see or think of religion so much that it's absolutely real to them.

Not all seizures are physical manifestations.

Have a look into it.
Yes it's completely normal, you believe that you can make a difference in the world so you should start now and make a difference.
I don't think I'm a prophet but I believe in the things you're talking about. You're not the only one. :)
I think your mind is stuck in grandiose thoughts. A not uncommon form of escapism. However the longer you delude yourself the further into the depths of insanity you will fall.
You are not an idiot, and no-one really knows whether the answer is yes or no. The word 'Prophet' alludes to religion, and religion is a human interpretation of the reason for life and the way to conduct their life.

I am a kindred spirit, but unlike you have not yet spoken out - simply because I'm a successful UK businessman, a CEO of a few multi-million companies.

The reason I haven't is because of the response that you have received, and the subsequent ridicule that it would attract. If any 'prophet' from any religious book walked down the street preaching in their old tongue and old ways, then they would surely receive the same treatment.

I am learning slowly over the years, and each year my view has evolved and I believe at some stage I will express my view and it is then documented for the passage of time.

I also know that I have met similar types of people, who after conversation is broached have similar feelings, though calling ourselves 'prophets' has never been broached. I have travelled to the States and most of Europe and now and again meet someone who is of similar ilk.

The feelings they all have is... I think I'm different, I can feel and question and understand things regarding humanity and other life that others can't, but I don't know what the hell it is. It's always been there and sometimes the 'magnetism' was carried out without prior thought.
I think if you really were going to be a prophet, you wouldn't be typing about it on the internet. You probably wouldn't even be thinking about it. You're just another guy with an inflated ego and delusions of grandeur. Everyone thinks they're going to be the "chosen one" so get over it.

Prophet? No, but I can think of a few words to describe it: Narcissist, megalomaniac, egoist... Can you imagine Ghandi or the Buddha saying something like this? they didn't "believe sometimes" they just WERE.

I mean, I've thought countless times in my lifetime that I am "the chosen one," that I ("maybe someday") will be a prophet & change the world... but REALITY CHECK - I'm just another self-centered egoist with a narcissistic personality disorder. Would I ever actually present it as a possibility to someone else? Hell no!

So yeah, you're a jackass.
First off, no, you're not special, you're just one of the many douches of the internet, and two, play Bioshock, and you'll see how "utopias" of "utter harmony" work out

later

You think that, simpleton. Bioshock is a f**king video game and fiction, and you're so conventional and unaware of anything, you make me want to vomit. Read a fine book entitled "Sexual Energy & Yoga" to discover some of my thought processes.
your hostility to anyone even MILDLY opposing your views makes ME want to vomit.... >.>
and besides, it doesn't matter if Bioshock is a fictional, made-up story, lots of things in video games relate to or have to do with real life events...look it up, actually
Yeah ... sure ... whatever ... go for it ... good luck ...
Story author is just an attention w**** and a bitter virgin who gets butthurt like a baby (check his other stories) BAWWWWWWW
