you know that special people exist, right?
At least you know that there are people special 'to you'. Like so, I have my own life - and as I so have to think
about it, I have to remember the story of Joseph, how his brothers envied him for their fathers Love and took offense
in his dreams wherein he found himself exalted upon them.
It is written that a prophet is nowhere valued less than in its home.
Think about it! They've seen me growing up, or grew up with me; Or they were my collegues or superiors - and I had to
live a normal life. I'd be that guy you see every once in a while on the streets or at the station or in your office,
nothing special - that guy posting commentaries to online articles, that guy having oppinions about this and that;
Perhaps that guy who commented on one of your posts or who wrote a comment you commented to.
What destinguishes the one from the other? You are the center of your world - at least your knowledge of existence
makes it so. Everyone else is just "other people".
So imagine "someone" now stood up and claimed being "the Prophet" - or "the One" - that's like ... not normal!
Its special alright - but special in a way that is ... uhm, you know, coo-cachoo!
Special people do have special powers! The ones have money; And the others your sympathy! I have neither of the two,
so if I'm special in something, I'm especially broke!
Though I could try to entertain you enough to gain your sympathy; Or stop seeing things as dark as they were; I would
yet like to ask: What is -the One- supposed to be?
Of course 'the One' is a somewhat fabled figure, but even the Old Testament speaks of someone who will
at some point in time change the fate of our world! (Isaiah 40++++). Well yea, Jesus was there too, but Jesus said
... uhm, well, already the Old Testament said that: "The Day of the Lord will be darkness, not Light"
(Amos 5.18).
Quite some piece of the Christian tradition does concern the idea of 'false expectations'. Pretty much everything that
Jesus has ever said to a public entity were/are statements of "how wrong" they are/were - of how they don't
get it right! And that reflects in the statement regarding the value of Prophets in their home. As we live in a time
where we might need 'someone special'; The people back then have anticipated, maybe, some divine intervention. But
once Christ was there they were blind to see the reasons for his appearance, expecting someone who would crush their
enemy rather than being crushed by them!
I can tell you 'why' I am special - and that might be a first -shake- in your expectation of what -the One-
is supposed to be like! Neither am I gonna whine about my purpose; And the one reason why I wouldn't take any
spiritual advise from anyone is that I am the One who is to deliver spiritual advise to you!!!
Thats what I have learned!
And the way I learned it - that is where I would like to make reference to 'the Matrix' movies.
Neo, in the beginning, is just an ordinary person; Expecting nothing of who he is or how his life is going to turn.
He might have some silly dreams, but they'd just be silly dreams to him!
Then there are Morpheus and Trinity - they get him out of the Matrix. Morpheus tells him that he is the one, but
nobody knows what exactly thats going to mean. They might think that he's gonna beat all the Agents and then, well,
who knows? The Oracle! But that time they took him to the Oracle - it happened - that Neo got shot and died! Then
it happened that Neo sortof - however - started to breathe again and then for some reason had this whole "the One
thing" going on. So, he could delete Agents, fly, stop bullets, bend space-time ... whatever. That "made him" the
One, but pretty much - other than working on getting more people unplugged - clueless! He's then sent from A to B
to C and so on to in the end just figure that all of it was pretty much just a hoax! The only power he effectively
has, after all, is to choose between two doors. But by then choosing "freedom" he opens the door into a world where
his will does matter! The odds called it suicide, but finally the only way to break the control of the Machines;
The only way with hope!
In my life however there were no Morpheus and no Trinity; Although for Metaphors sakes Trinity would be God.
Morpheus on the other hand, that would have been my mind, or some unconsciously present divine guidance. In
simplicity: Neo received help, but yet Neo did his own research on the matter. So his the whole clutter of Neos
unplugging to me a Metaphor of my unplugging - and pretty much like Neo had to grow into being the One on his
own, I had to!
The idea that I might be special came to me as I was thinking about what I had found! I didn't find that we're
living in a dreamworld! I learned from the Scriptures, things nobody knew; And I understood that there has to be
a reason for me to find these things, as a reason for these things to be there to begin with!
But sooner rather than later this 'excitement' had been lessened as I couldn't find anyone who'd get onto the
same trip of changing the world as I did. Or maybe they did, but didn't want me to be a part of it.
So did years pass by - things kept coming, until I then found Batpism, found Unification, got Unified - but that
was then just the beginning of it all. In depth a pretty boring story - where simply enough: Everything I tried
failed! I tried to keep ahead of things, tried to understand what and why, kept going - and the gifts of Unification
gave me the strength and wisdom to succeed! So at the very least to the day where this "Matrix Movie Music thing"
happened.
