The world is deceived.
You are deceived.
I am deceived.
🅐 Masses
The masses look outward to authorities to lead and rule. Scientists, politicians, preachers. Celebrities, icons, idols. Man worships man, the masses manifest maniacs.
Masses grow manic in this outward focus, handing over their power to false idols. Masses seek saviours in man, but manifest savages instead.
The masses are out of control because they worship outer controllers. The masses worship other men, all whilst disconnecting from the true source of power.
🅑 Maniacs
Maniacs look downward at others. Dictators, narcissists, douchebags. They believe they are God’s favourites. Worthy of all the credit, free from all the blame.
Maniacs worship themselves. Even our brightest founders, creators and leaders are not immune from the mania. Even those we look to for inspiration, fall short of the mark.
So who do we look up to? Who is fit to lead in a world of hypocrisy, contradiction and illusion? Who can we trust when what we can trust is that man can’t be trusted?
🅒 Masters
Maniacs demand dominion, whilst a trustworthy man never calls himself master. Man can only be trusted when man knows who the true master. And the one true master is not a man.
The one true master is the maker of man. A masterful man knows his maker. A masterful man glorifies the true source of his power. Whilst labelled masters by the masses, they refuse the title.
The masterful don’t seek to lead. They are called. The masterful don’t want authority. They are given it. The masterful serve the one true master, and in doing so, are graced mastery in return.
✣
The masses fear mastery, so they confuse maniacs as their masters. While maniacs crave mastery for themselves only and deny the one true master.
Masses look outward.
Maniacs look downward.
Masters look inward and up.
So who is the one true master?
Only you can answer that question.
Just don’t be deceived it’s you or me.
