The Revelation

Revelation: It’s not about you, but it is your fault.


The meaning of life is not a simple answer to your individual existence, but it is a function of your choice to act responsibly. I know that my best self will only be achieved in concert with you being your best self. And therein lies the challenge to our collective vision of perfection. I am not fearful of those that challenge me. I am not perplexed by those that conspire against me. I am not deterred by those that stand in my way. I am concerned with you who, for whatever reason, have not practiced your gifts or developed your talents. Now, I stand ready with my part of our collective vision, and you are not ready with your contribution. And, to add insult, you stand almost proud to proclaim that you have no clue of your gift and talents—no knowledge of the context of the choice you are responsible for.

Once, it was my fault as well as yours. Let me first apologize to those who came prepared before me. I apologize. I let many of you down. But, I learned. I have been ready with my contribution at every opportunity. I have been called arrogant, conceited, know-it-all, and the like, but my detractors could not compete with the sound nature of my counsel or question my preparation. I have been cast out of some circles, and self-exited from others. But, I have become unique, some may say peculiar. I now call to you to leave the comfort of conformity and renew your mind.

My call to you comes with an explanation. I am certain that it will be difficult to challenge your prevailing beliefs about your ability to influence the way the world works. I cannot promise that you will, in fact, achieve nirvana. But, I can with certainty educate you to define your role in society, offer a relationship based on reciprocity, and walk with you confidently to access new markets. To achieve these goals, we first must address your waste of mental energies. I chose the cognitive restructuring method in order to model for you how the very definitions you stand with today must give way to a vocabulary of a certain successful future.

Rather than focus on personifications of an enemy such as a Satan, or your boss, or the parent who failed you, this discourse refocuses the analysis on you. Admittedly, it is a more abstract proposition, but the barrier, the waste of energy itself is the enemy. We will thoroughly identify your dependence on the enemy for your own subsistence. Then, we will offer an alternative—a newly defined role, an approach to lifelong learning from diverse sources, and a system of continued productivity.

Next time I need you and your contribution. I would like for you to be ready. The deceptions, distractions, and disillusionment that keep you inactive and irresponsive to my invitation must give way to productive action toward our collective vision of perfection. My success is mine to achieve. My perfection depends on you.
