"The tribulations of the person who is the real emissary. Is this something people really would want for themselves? Is this the goal of the ambitious, the self-seeking and the self-serving—to travel this difficult journey, to carry such a great burden with so little seeming recognition and support?" [1]
Ambitious
"It is their ambition and their ideology that drive them on, that make them make these assumptions and that make them think and believe, even fervently, that they are so endowed with the Divine." [1]
Self-anointed
"Everyone wants to be special, and some people want to be spiritually special to the point even where they believe that they are spiritually special and that their “specialness” has been confirmed and anointed by greater spiritual powers." [1]
"Some self-appointed spiritual teachers claim that they can make you a spiritual teacher. They can make anyone a spiritual teacher as if they have the power to appoint and anoint an emissary for God. They will say, “Yes, you too have a message from God, everyone has a message from God. Come to my seminar and I will show you how.” [1]
Zealous
"There are many of these people right now, in all faith traditions. Every faith tradition has people like this who believe that they are messengers, that they have a greater truth to present and to demonstrate. They are the ones who can become zealous and destructive, who take matters into their own hands and who decide, believing that they are divinely guided, of course, that they can determine what is just and unjust, what is spiritually correct and spiritually incorrect." [1]
"The voices that they hear, that they select and that they even want, will only be those voices that substantiate their views, their beliefs and their ideas about themselves." [1]
Unauthorized
"Those who proclaim themselves are not the true Emissaries because they are not chosen." [1]
"Their message has no substance and no originality. The emphasis is upon themselves rather than upon the teaching." [1]
Pacified and pacifying
"The ambitious will assign themselves the role and the privilege of delivering messages from a higher source. Unfortunately, these people often become representatives of the Intervention and proponents of the whole Pacification Program." [1]
"People who assign themselves these roles and responsibilities are not the Emissaries of the Creator. At best, they are the emissaries of their own ambition and their own failed ideologies. At worse, they fall into service to powers that they cannot even recognize and begin to endorse, represent and propose things, the source of which is unknown to them." [1]
"It is this kind of self-glorification that would make one extremely vulnerable to manipulation from beyond." [1]
"These people who are self-appointed often become the harshest critics of the true Messengers when they arrive, for their own position is threatened. Their ideology is endangered. Their appointment by a divine power is thrown into question. They will say, 'Well, we are all messengers for the divine.'” [1]
"Proponents of the Intervention will more than likely be those who are self-serving and seek substantiation for themselves." [1]
