How would you know?

an anarchist

Your local loco.
This is perhaps a more complex question than you know, made more complex by the fact that mainstream culture ill-prepares its people in dealing with it. I won't dive into the why's of that right now, but instead just say that you will want to examine the assumptions you bring to the table. What you assume is the case will guide how you interpret your life experiences.

I find Beckett's writings on theology an excellent starting point, though your mileage may vary if you aren't a devotional polytheist. Still, I think what he says here is broadly applicable to folks of any path who are called:

Nice article. I used to practice divination through the I Ching. I think I will spiritually cleanse myself before I consult it again and ask it questions.

I did misspeak. I will be able to hypnotize a group of people. But this group of people will form their own community. And through this community will humanity be freed. I suspect that the rest of the world and the governments will serve to antagonize these anarchists.

I know jack sh*t about hypnosis and music hahahaha but ya know one can always learn. Someone who isn’t musically inclined believes they will be a famous musician, that is quite delusional.
Poof! You just went from delusional to dreamer in the span of just a few posts. How do you feel?

Why would you want to take away everyone's free will?

Didn't answer the question I see.

Actually i did, for for some reason you choose to ignore the answer. Reading the OP is simple. A simple task like that will tell you. But no much better to give harmful advise because... Why?

I didn't give any advice actually.
And you didn't answer the question.

Or the meds cause a delusional state.
Which doesn't mean that everyone who is drugged needs to be.

And i summarised the relevant parts of the op for the answer you requested. If thats not enough then the fault is not mine but that of deliberate ignorance in the knowledge of fault

It is said in various religions that God calls on certain individuals for a holy mission.

Perhaps all of us are called to the holy mission, yet few take it up.

How would you know if God called on you for a holy mission? Would it be super obvious (burning bush)? Or would it be more subtle? A thought that crosses your mind that is perhaps a revelation?

There are no burning bushes in the present (right?). Are we supposed to believe God doesn't call on people still?

My former pastor would say that the reason there aren't any miracles or prophets of the sort anymore was because the Bible was here so there is no need for modern showcases of God. The people of the Bible were showcased God and His power, so there was no doubt in their mind that He existed. Lucky them!

How do we experience God? How do we find Him? How do we know when we are called?

View attachment 70129

I am unsure if I am delusional or if I am called to help free humanity from their suffering. My psychiatrist is upping my antipsychotics to treat my "delusions of grandeur". I'm going to ask him to work me up to the max dosage. With the amount I'm on now, I don't obsess over my holy mission anymore. But when I let myself think on it, I know for sure I have been called. I have a unique perspective that most people are blind to. I have seen the end, okay!

My medical treatment is an attempt at domestication. Without the meds, I am unhinged, motivated, invincible, ambitious, and I see my mission clearly. Without my meds, I am treated different by society. People can instantly tell I'm "crazy" and discriminate against me.

I've been dabbling with living a "normal life". I act very normal on my medication; no one knows I'm ill. People treat me like a regular person. My family tells me how proud they are because how far I've come since I've started treatment.

Yet I feel like Jonah running away from Yahweh. I am on a boat heading directly away from Nineveh. Will a great fish swallow me up and bring me back into the fold? This attempt at domestication is futile I sometimes think.

So that's my story.

How would you know if you were called by God? How would you know for sure you aren't delusional?
You're one of few people I have ever heard about of related to who can admit to having delusions of grandeur. Most folks on forums or in real life, in my experience vehemently deny the condition, as part of the condition. As they say, the first part of any treatment is recognition of it. Good on you.

Obviously just guessing, but to me, it would make the most sense if God did it, in such a way that there would be no doubt whatsoever. I don't think it would be especially beneficial for God to have someone running around being in doubt as I think they would be rather ineffective in whatever purpose God had with them.

Humans are easily fooled, just think about magic tricks, so God's call would need to be far more convincing than that, I would think.

I never said the message was a God.

Ever.

I prayed by theme please allow earths heavens loving light to return above for humans healing. As sun mass UFO crossing is burning removing our immaculate clear bio support.

My brother's mind sanity depended on the presence of heavens body immaculate mass.

So my brother in my life killed himself. He was homosexual. I loved him my brother and he was adored by his little sister. Brother and sister humans.

So I was motivated to ask myself did a spirit life exist after. What purpose did life have. So much human suffering. I had ovary problems a very painful disorder. I had to be thankful my pain wasn't as bad as my other human family. To be grateful for suffering utter b.s.

So I knew most indoctrinations human were lying.

Thinking upon conditions you realise life is wrong. Adults human who preceded your life are lying.

You are then motivated to research. So I did.

As I own my conscious thoughts by body mind living it's the only place I owned to ask a question. If spirit were real prove it.

My mind talked back it said you have to live the spiritual life to have it proven. Not my belief want or give me an answer. By my choice just a question.

So I agreed. I applied meditation read lots of books. Sought out a Spiritual father.

I experienced experiences as yes I'm human. It happens in my body mind presence. And a lot of the experiences were also exterior to my life.

Knowing in perception all other body types not my life are exterior to my living ownership...the human. By use my perception aware of bodies outside of my owned presence.

Not a theoried human or a described human...my species one self the human.

As I'm not any evil minded brother human or sister want and used my humans theory.

I don't have electricity within my human bio.body and I'm not going to die as a bio human to reveal electricity not owned by my body type to an evil.minded human inventor of it.

Who claims I patent it. I own it using a word close to parent. Lying.

As I'm not an assessment of your evil thoughts of I want electricity by a God type of spirit I believe enters your body.

As only living water by pressures enters my bio body...not electricity or energy. And as it's not enough I have to drink water also. Also not electricity.

As mass bodies which I'm not as just a human invented electricity.

Machines aren't reality nor is electricity. If you lived as just a human not a human theist inventor you would not even use those words. Liar theists. Therefore being a human first is exact.

Therefore if earths heavens produces spirit types which a human is aware of..it's outside of my owned life.

As I'm human. I exist as your own human twin. I perceive your life you perceive my life as a human. Not as anything else.

I know you aren't any god. You are a human.

I also know the heavens transmit record information Including our image and our voice.

Only living humans built machines that use that condition a machine interacting with heavens mass direct itself. Proving you caused it by machines yourself. Doing all choices as the human.

Therefore I learnt that yes our heavens owns a voice and image itself not a human living biology. And my perception said it's separate from my life also.

As I perceive bodies that are separate from my life.

As human inventors seek God it's because human inventors know they caused it as the inventor.

The heavens to own a separate voice recording and image.

It's that status they claim came about via electrification....lying. As only machines bodies in mass components absorb use electricity.

Man's water living microbial use separated by machine attack of heavens and put biologies use of water mass and carbonised our bodies living microbes in water.

So it produced the effect via water microbes still living. We use the percentage living water still living. We aren't recordings.

Is what I learnt no man is God.

Totally separate to a humans life.

I learnt.
I perceive separateness not human by my living perception.
I don't lie as I own no self gain by my personal experience.

I however believe in sharing my experience to try to overcome the history of human abusing human just because you can.
