 %FALSE MESSIAH COMPLEX SAVE OTHERS TRUTH SELF ROLE 900304

     A false messiah seeks to save others by attempting to
do  for  them  what  they  need to  do  to  take  care  of
themselves.  A false messiah does not confront others with
the truth which exposes their games of self deception; but
rather  participates in collusive games of self  deception
in attempts to appear to be full of power and grace.

     It  is  dangerous to believe that any person  can  be
perfect;  for then there is the temptation to try to be  a
perfect  person.    Perfectionists are  always  trying  to
perfect their conception of what it is to be perfect;  and
so they are always failing to catch up with their image of
perfection,   and  so falling in self esteem.    A   false
messiah   may   be  willing  to  try   to   perfect   such
perfectionists,   and  become trapped in  their  games  of
mutual self deception.

     Each  person  needs  to be true to  the  truth  about
themselves;     to  escape from collusive games of  mutual
self deception  by  being true to themselves,   facing the
truths about  themselves.    No messiah can force us to be
true   to ourself.    Only a false messiah tries to do for
us what we must do for ourself in being true to ourself.

     When  we  are being true to our own self we  are  not
trying  to  perfect  our self according  to  any  external
standard  of perfection.   We do not seek to  discover  or
create such a standard.   We do not seek to conform to  or
be  conformed  to any such standard.   We do not  seek  to
conform others or get them to conform to any such standard
of  perfection.    We are simply content in  being  honest
about  our  own self and enjoy peace  and  tranquility  in
being who we are.
