Well, what should I call this status role? It\u2019s significantly less than a full-blown prophet, but it points out or explains what a real prophet might have been alluding to. Prophet-ette? Maybe.<\/p>\n
There is the phenomenon of people tending to say they\u2019re true followers while in fact deviating in certain ways from the prophet\u2019s intended teachings. Then again, some claim to be the true followers while only preserving their own interpretation of orthodoxy. Others bend the prophet\u2019s words to fit their own ideas or motives. Some think they understand when they really don\u2019t. And other variations.<\/p>\n
And what if one of the supposed followers is an admitted re-interpreter, in light of current beliefs and theories? (That\u2019s more like me, though I have made no claims to be authoritative, nor have I worked within the original\u2019s world-view.) <\/p>\n
Anyway, it has been revealed to me that I am a very minor prophet of sorts. Not that I take this \u201crevelation\u201d very seriously\u2014it\u2019s just a hunch. But neither do I dismiss it. I am given glimpses, not full insights. I confess they may be contaminated by the paradigms of the culture I live in. I can\u2019t help it.<\/p>\n
The guru principle, as I now understand it, is that humanity is a developing mass of consciousness that is shaped like a teardrop, the tiny part leading. The great gurus are close to the tip. Others follow. I\u2019m about 1\/4 down still slender, but there are many at my level. I follow some and lead some. I get to say, \u201cHere\u2019s the deal…\u201d but yet only with a moderate degree of confidence.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s very complicated because many of the true gurus or prophets are not readily understandable by folks of lower levels of consciousness. Indeed, even with commentators helping\u2014and these explainers are as essential as the heart is to the lungs, or vice versa\u2014, the process of species awakening is highly complex, even convoluted. My guardian angel (who as faithful readers you know to be named by me as \u201cUncle Bud\u201d) suggests even that there\u2019s no way human minds are going to understand the degree of complexity for the foreseeable future (if ever).<\/p>\n
Really high levels of complexity are multi-dimensional, they involve many frames of reference interacting with each other, and human minds can barely cope with, like, five or six dimensions. That generates a real stretch of thinking. For example, the complexities of calculus in mathematic are tools for coping with the subtleties of the rate of change, the mixture of just a few dimensions. The mathematics of significantly more dimensions at play may be beyond human cognition. But no doubt there will be efforts to coordinate even more.<\/p>\n
The problem of course is that some dimensions may not fulfill the requirements of regularity; they may bend and themselves be subject to such subjective criteria as aesthetic preference. That would perhaps obviate the ideal that everything can be expressed as number.<\/p>\n
So as my minor junior prophecy, just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
