Re: Delusions of grandeur - a tricky trap. [Re: dorkus]
    #5719566 -

I have been accused of having delusions of granduer, and i must admit this is true.

However, I don't think that these 'delusions' are harmful or dangerous because I keep them contained in my mind and don't act on them unless I'm sure the action will benefit those around me. Just because I think I'm an immortal god doesn't mean I think I can go around stealing, raping, and killing. But if I had to die to save an innocent life, I would, and its my faith that would help me do this.

At a point in every acid-head's life, he realizes that he is God or Jesus or whatever. The trick is not to let it get to you, not to let the power control you to the point where it causes you to do things that are destructive to yourself and those around you.

There is nothing wrong with delusions of granduer if it helps you to be a better person. It gets bad when people use their delusions as an excuse to commit evil.

I have often said, enlightenment is the realization that you can do whatever you want, but choose to do the right thing, not to strive with the world, but to use your gifts for good! This is the difference between Jesus and Manson. Both were enlightened by 'delusions' of granduer. Both believed that they were god; the difference between the two was that Jesus saw his power as a way to help others, whereas Manson saw his power as a blank check to do whatever he wanted, no matter what the consequence.

I have many 'delusions' of grandeur. I believe I am a son of God (but not THE son, obviously God has many children). I believe I have the power to heal and enlighten others. I believe I have a liscense to kill and steal. But I never kill anyone, and choose instead to earn my living, instead of feeling entitled to a free ride because of my importance. Many have tried to follow me and worship me, and I have turned them all away and told them to seek God in themselves, not in me. I have healed many people, but I always advise them to get a second opinion from another doctor, not to take my word for it. I don't want to be irresponsible with the people I am trying to help.

Now, like i said, what it all boils down to is, are your 'delusions' (I prefer to call them 'beliefs') helpful or destructive? If a delusion can help you be a better person, I don't see anything wrong with it. If a delusion makes you destructive to yourself or others, you should seek help in ridding yourself of this unhealthy belief.

well, its often hard to be a loving person when you are living in a hateful society. I live in Dallas, the 'city of hate'.

I am not a negative person, but often I am confronted by negative energy the likes of which most happy-go-lucky california hippy types have never even dreamed about in their worst nightmares.

Often I feel like Donnie Brasco, a good cop who's been corrupted by his undercover assignment. Its hard to be a good person in an evil world, and there is much evil in my world.

So I apologize for my arrogance and bitterness, but I ask others to realize what I have been through and how much negativity I have had to work through in my life. If you ask me its a goddamned miracle I havent climbed to the top of a belltower with a rifle, I mean what can I say, this is a bad environment for someone like me. The only reason I stay here is because I'm young and don't have the resources to just pack up and move somewhere else. Also, my friends and family are here, and we support eachother, so I wouldn't want to withdraw my support or turn down theirs, because we need eacother. Also, I feel that God put me here for a reason, to be a shining white light in the darkness that is Texas.

people on this board have often accused me of being an asshole, but if you saw someone being tortured on a rack and he were spewing obscenities, would you call him an asshole and tell him to clean out his mouth? No, of course not. You would realize that he is in tremendous pain and take pity on him, especially if you knew he didn't deserve to be tortured. So don't mind my bitter words, they are merely the anguished cries of a person who is caught between a rock and a hard place.
