Unlucky Mentally Ill or Messiah?

Messiah?

Novice
Hi

In June of 2012 I began to here voices. Shortly after they told me I was In a computer and that it was single person generation. This means that instead of generating an entire planet they generate one person. I don't know what everybody else is or how it all works. The purpose of the computer is creation. Life's sole goal has always been to create more of itself.

When I started hearing voices I was at Wyotech and I dropped out.When I moved back in with my father and he started letting homeless people live with us. I choose not to tell anyone about the voices/Messiah and became ill (mentally). I'd be somewhat normal with people but ill when alone. We moved to 711 E second st. and eventually a guy and his girlfriend ( The Mary Magdalene) moved in. He moved out and she stayed. We had sex and smoked meth. Interesting stuff : Jesus born on Christmas - I was born of crystal meth. Anyway she had a sickness and had growths on her. Eventually, I moved back with my mom. Recovery? no. I gained over 100 pounds and later asphyxiated (held breathe to get high). I am in very poor condition.

On a positive note the voices have told me stuff. They have told me to Unite the planet and start an age of development. How?
First : Created a religion to make world development tax free
Second : Build farms, then small cities, then fill with poor, then teach them to work the city, and repeat.

Also, everyone is forgiven from all their sins and the actions they take after hearing this message is what will be used to determine their eligibility for the afterlife. To keep on track imagine what you could do in a computer with nearly no strings attached.
Lastly, where could we find extra funds to get started? Well listen to this:
War is now a sin. Anyone who leads, soldiers, supplies, etc. will not be welcome to the afterlife.

The world has coded messages. Here is a few :
Take the word Jesus and add numbers to the letters 10-5-19-21-19 reverse 1-5-91-12-91 multiply 49686 add letters 4=D 9+6=O 8+6 =N
My name is Donald Edward Bigelow. (San Jose, CA)
wash feet, foot = brush teeth, tooth
Jesus rode a donkey maybe Don is the key for some decryption. IDK, Remember this is happening to me I am not the one in control.
Listen to yelawolf's Mastermind, it can be found on you tube.

Imagine if everyone believed. War would stop and the planet would unite and start an age of development. The plan is so simple.

Thank you for your time. If you would like to help me, make this go viral. I need support.
 
I really like your anti-war stance; there's not nearly enough of that kind of pacifist sentiment in our society because the corporate news media has brainwashed nearly everyone in this country to see endless mass murder operations abroad as some kind of normal and necessary activity. It's Orwellian.

But on the other hand it sounds like you're struggling with schizophrenia and a messianic complex, and you should try to find a qualified and compassionate psychiatrist to help you manage it. Crystal meth is particularly injurious for people like yourself with uncommon brain chemistry - nobody should ever do crystal meth, but it's most harmful for people with complex neurochemical profiles.

I also think that another religion is the last thing that this world needs, because ultimately every religion only serves to form a bond among its believers at the cost of alienating everyone else, and that divides people and foments conflict and ultimately, war. What we need is the antithesis of religion - the simple and empirically indisputable recognition that all human beings are our family and have a birthright of freedom and the right to pursue happiness without US bombs raining down on their heads.

And I don't see how your strategy to unite the planet and start "an age of development" could change things. But I think that one excellent idea would be to abolish homelessness in America, which would only cost $20B/year. The DoD probably spends more than that on toilet paper. In any case it's unconscionable that our government keeps increasing the military budget by many billions of dollars/year without a moment of debate, and yet the bastards running our country won't even vote on ending homelessness, which is a very real and profoundly disturbing problem in our country.

I think that if the big countries decided to take all or even a portion of their war budgets and dedicated it to building 1st world farms and cities for the poor to work, we could start an age of development.

I've said it before and I will say it again.No government anywhere on the planet,genuinely gives a shit about the poor and the homeless.They see them as a burden to the people with the power and the money.
I know I sound like a conspiracy crackpot but I am convinced that sooner or later something like the corona virus will be unleashed to thin the herd.As robotics and other technologies improve,the plebs will no longer be needed to do the jobs the "elites"deem to be beneath them.
As regards to religion being a solution, the wealth that the likes of the Catholic church horde could help make poverty a thing of the past.The fact churches avoid tax speaks volumes.

I've had them up my a** since Day 1. They shake the plate at you twice during a service

Pastafarians have a better take on the whole thing.

Eight Commandments ("I'd really rather you didn't"s)

Good Pastafarians taking a stand against Christian anti-pasta lies.

Pastafarians believe that the Great Captain Mosey was given ten stone tablets with various commandments on them, called the Eight "I'd really rather you didn't"s. Captain Mosey brought them down from Mount Salsa, however, due to him having one (or five) too many swigs of grog, he accidentally dropped two of them. The following was what was on the other eight tablets.

1. I’d Really rather you didn't act like a sanctimonious holier-than-thou ass when describing my noodly goodness. If some people don’t believe in me, that’s okay. Really, I’m not that vain. Besides, this isn't about them so don’t change the subject.

2. I’d Really rather you didn’t use my existence as a means to oppress, subjugate, punish, eviscerate, and/or, you know, be mean to others. I don’t require sacrifices, and purity is for drinking water, not people.

3. I’d Really rather you didn't judge people for the way they look, or how they dress, or the way they talk, or, well, just play nice, okay? Oh, and get this through your thick heads: woman=person, man=person. Samey-samey. One is not better than the other, unless we're talking about fashion and I’m sorry, but I gave that to women and some guys who know the difference between teal and fuchsia.

4. I’d Really rather you didn't indulge in conduct that offends yourself, or your willing, consenting partner of legal age and mental maturity. As for anyone who might object, I think the expression is "go fuck yourself" unless they find that offensive in which case they can turn off the TV for once and go for a walk for a change.

5. I’d Really rather you didn't challenge the bigoted, misogynist, hateful ideas of others on an empty stomach. Eat, then go after the bullshit.

6. I’d Really rather you didn't build multi-million-dollar churches/temples/mosques/shrines to my noodly goodness when the money could be better spent (take your pick): a. Ending poverty b. Curing diseases c. Living in peace, loving with passion, and lowering the cost of cable. I might be a complex carbohydrate omniscient being, but I enjoy the simple things in life. I ought to know. I am the creator.

7. I’d Really rather you didn’t go around telling people I talk to you. You’re not that interesting. Get over yourself. And I told you to love your fellow man, can’t you take a hint?

8. I’d Really rather you didn’t do unto others as you would have them do unto you if you are into, um, stuff that uses a lot of leather/lubrication/las vegas. If the other person is into it, however (pursuant to #4), then have at it, take pictures. And for the love of me, wear a condom! Honestly, it’s a piece of rubber, if I didn’t want it to feel good when you did it I would have added spikes, or something.

Your heart's in the right place. That goes a long way with me - I daresay it's the most important quality that a human being can possess. So your intent is laudable; ending the pointless horrors of war, and helping the poor find purpose, security, and happiness...I'm down with all of that, 100%.

It's your strategy that I find to be overly idealistic and unrealistic.

For starters, if we look at military budgets of all nations in 2019, we find that the US military spending was greater than the next 11 top-military-spending nations of the world combined:

1) $684.8B United States of America
2) $181.1B China
3) $78.4B Saudi Arabia
4) $61.6B Russia
5) $60.5B India
6) $54.8B United Kingdom
7) $52.3B France
8) $48.6B Japan
9) $48.5B Germany
10) $39.8B South Korea
11) $27.5B Brazil
12) $27.1B Italy

And the 2020 US military budget will be a whopping $738B. So our nation alone accounts for nearly half of the world’s military spending and that ratio is increasing at an alarming rate. Therefore we can narrow the focus to just this country and account for roughly half of the money that you want to raise to fund your plan.

But immediately we can see that the chances of shifting military spending to something more humane – like helping the poor – is 0%. Because like I said, and as Ron67 expanded upon, for only $20B/year we could abolish homelessness in the US and yet the murderous psychopaths controlling our government won’t even bring it up for a vote: they’re all on board with increasing military spending, not decreasing it. If they could be convinced to lower the military budget, which is basically impossible at this point, the only thing that they might be convinced to do with that savings would be to give the billionaires and multinational corporations even greater tax cuts and rebates than they already enjoy today.

This is because our entire government and electoral process is now completely and hopelessly corrupt – basically all of our politicians and top officials only act in the interests of the rich and powerful. And the 2014 Princeton study of US policy-making found that even when Americans unite into giant special-interest groups in order to promote or oppose a piece of legislation, we have no detectable influence over whether or not a policy is made into law. In other words, the US is no longer a representational government; it’s an oligarchy now. So there’s no way to get any of our ideas passed into law – the entire system is rigged against us and in favor of the elites…very similar to the feudal era of the Dark Ages.

Secondly, even if we could overcome this huge and impenetrable obstacle of our completely corrupt government, your plan wouldn’t work anyway. Building more “1st world farms” wouldn’t solve anything because there is no food shortage. So if we produced more food, it would only lower the value of food products, which would lower the earnings for food producers until a bunch of them went out of business, which would reduce the food supply until food prices rose back to the current levels, restoring the economic balance of the current situation.

And finally, you suggest that we build “cities for the poor to work,” which makes no sense. What work do you think these poor people are going to be doing? The reason why wages have been flat and jobs have been evaporating from this country for many decades is mostly two-fold: 1.) automation has replaced most manufacturing jobs, and 2.) corporations have gone global so now they can export their jobs to countries with slave wages and wretched working conditions. The problem isn’t that we don’t have enough cities; the problem is that there are more people who need jobs than there are jobs to do. And this problem is going to keep getting much much worse in the decades ahead, because the capabilities of robotic automation are rapidly increasing, and income inequality is getting so severe that working class people can’t afford to buy enough products to grow the economy: the vast bulk of the wealth is concentrated in too few hands, where it doesn’t get spent on goods and services – it gets invested in real estate and stocks and commodities (which is why the prices of those things have been skyrocketing).

So really the main agenda that we need to focus on right now is making our country represent the people again. Because we can’t effect any kind of change as long as our government is completely controlled by the most narcissistic and sociopathic .04% of the population: the political donor class (i.e., the most extravagantly wealthy people in the world who use their wealth and power to rig the system to make themselves even more wealthy and more powerful at the expense of everyone else and everything else on the planet).

And frankly I see no way to restore the voice of the people to our government without a massive national insurrection. But I see no chance of that happening because hardly anyone seems to realize how severe the problem is right now, because all of our news media is now owned and controlled by the same people who have corrupted our entire government. So the situation appears to be completely hopeless, and all we can do is wait for the system to collapse on our heads (which all corrupt systems do, sooner or later), and then try to build a better system from the rubble and ashes of this one.

As a retiree, I have thought long and hard about the last fifty years or so in this country. Frankly, it’s a depressing sight. In my parent’s lifetime, manufacturing jobs, were still plentiful. No longer. We live in a service dependent age. The political system has been broken for decades and there is no hope for it to be repaired. Perhaps what is even worse, the people of this country are totally indifferent as to what is happening. As long as everyone has their noses buried in their smart phones and tables the world is just fine.

I wonder what sort of world my younger relatives will be looking at in thirty years. Personal freedoms are being lost and no one seems to care or even know it is happening around them. When my nieces and nephews are living a life of financial freedom, why would anyone rock the boat?

As Thomas Morrison has mentioned, the political system is hopelessly corrupt. Neither side can agree on anything useful for the country and we are knee deep in problems. The country is in debt to hundreds of Trillions with a “T” and no one seems to give a shit. I’ve got mine, go screw yourself seems to be the motto of the day. We should be dealing with things like the broken roads and bridges that need billions of dollars to repair but instead we are building more stealth bombers and planes.

I know there are a minority of individuals who are aware of our problems on this planet but they seem to have been drowned out by those who are interested in only money and power. I also feel that the system will need to totally collapse around us. I do wonder who will be able to straighten out and rebuilding what we have totally screwed up on this beautiful world we live on.

A violent insurrection would not win against a 648 billion dollar military.

A simpler approach is to simply stop aknowledging big government as our leader at all.

By becoming true neighbors to each other, and slowly and simply weening ourselves from the idea that we need big government.

That would be great but as someone else already alluded to,mobile phones,tablets and computer games consoles are sleep walking the younger generations into extinction.The media are also part of the problem as anyone who thinks out of the box or points out what we can see in this thread and they are portrayed as eccentric at best and as cranks and tinfoil hat wearers at worst.I fear it’s too late,I really do.

Then they will eventually monopolize everything, and one power will "control" everything, and just like the game of Monopoly, the game is over because there is nothing left to play for.

One power sits on a mountain of all the wealth, feeling as empty on the inside as it ever was.

The ordinary folk are the game but most are blissfully unaware.
The so called elites are in the main sociopaths and have as much consideration for us as the average guy has for the ant he unwittingly stands on!.

I 'get' and generally agree with about all of this. If we're more aware of the true nature of things then we should also be aware that we're all just along for the ride. Hard to see what changed long term after Tiananmen Square, and it's hard to see what might after the Hong Kong student protests. Those people were will to die for their convictions while the vast majority of us are content to self-medicate with our own Soma.

Oh, and for those kooks that really, actually think they're going to 'fight the Government' I say get started. I've encountered some real nut cases that think they're grab their AR15 and freeze dried goods and fight it out in the hills. Best of luck with all that. Maybe in all the tumult somebody will nail a Sasquatch and all of us here will have something to go on about.

I sometimes think I hear faint echoes the Second Triumvirate bleeding through. Maybe the only fundamental difference is scale. Things like that aren't easily toppled over, they have to collapse under their own weight.
