To Be Great Is To Be Misunderstood

I can imagine my friends, neighbors and family have been so standoffish for decades due to what hey regard as my megalomaniac sense of self, and my profoundly shocking bragging about my own superiority. If I am lying, mistaken or out of touch with reality, if I am not the great soul and prophet from God that I claim to be, then they are correct and God smiles upon them for opposing my overweening pride, my bald assertions, my outrageous claims. If I am telling the truth and am what I claim to be (I am and know I am.), then God does not smile upon them for rejecting De’s prophet. I am almost 72 & ½ years old, and I am as isolated, unknown, unrecognized and marginalized as ever I have been since I started writing Mavellonialist philosophy in 1974. It occurred to me several days ago that I am a one-man band and that will not change. I will not necessarily die alone, but I will likely go on ignored, not acknowledged or receiving the attention and respect which I have earned and deserve. So be it, the people have spoken. I forgive them and wish them all the best and pray for them. I am not an exceptionally gifted person—I have just done what any human being can do and is to do, answer affirmatively, with one’s whole heart and soul, the divine invitation and commandment to self-realize for a lifetime as a living angel. The paradox is this: as a person grows into his personal great-souledness while alive, his singularity, his individual soul becomes proportionately unattractive and repulsive in social circles to popular, mediocre nonindividuators, the vast social majority of humans. The consequence is the more one individuates, the more the wisdom and advice which one has gleaned and is willing to convey to the masses, to that extent necessarily a sleeping people will ignore, repel and tune out advice beneficial to these persons and their communities, their nation. The masses listen to whom they should run from, and are suspicious of and are hostile to who their real friends and benefactors are. It is the way of the world, and all I can do is get my works published for posterity. That is the best possibility.
