Greatness is Knowledge. That is all that it means.

A bit about Fame.

Throughout my entire life, including the timing of my birth, I have always in one way or another felt inner Greatness.

This greatness is not unique to me. It is however, unique to Soul. Soul is something in everyone and this greatness sleeps until a person decides to cultivate it.

In society, we mistake this Greatness for “fame.”

Like many children, my social consciousness came from TV…from seeing every cartoon and every sitcom until my teenage years. My education also came from the non-stop Top 40 radio music that followed me indoors and out. And I became spiritually blind due to the noise and color of the outside world.

The media, newspapers, ads, and popular trends including magazines and centerfolds of icons in teen and fashion magazines convinced me that Famous people mattered…and the autosuggestion is that, “I don’t (matter).” That is the mantra that goes on for a very long time…until we reach our adult years and learn to ask the difficult question—which should never have been an issue to begin with—which is, what is the purpose of life?

When I got older, I moved to New York and went to film school. I had a very rough life, living hand to mouth for a long period of time.

But while I was there, I lived and partied among famous people and studied with people who would become celebrities society is obsessed with today. I was there at the roots of the beginning of their climb to fame. But even earlier than this, in my early teens, I had met rock musicians who would later become mainstream hits and icons of today’s time.

I had always been into the avant-garde. Or the avant-garde was into me. In my life, I was always at the pulse of big things that would shape popular and niche culture from time to come.

So in a sense, I have always been surrounded by this concept of Fame and by famous beings—or those who would become famous—but I never really knew it or thought much of it.

As I got older, funny things would start happening to me. The idols that I was influenced to worship as a child, I would eventually meet. I would eventually meet in one form or another, not as a fan, but in an even way.

It took me a very long time in life to figure out why the timing of my birth allowed me to be at the cutting edge of something ending and the razor’s edge of new things taking birth.

And although I myself have never been famous, I was around great people. And though I never remained friends with them, I would find out eventually that anything I love or take great interest it, would end up landing me a meeting or encounter with the people or things that I loved.

Then I had a dream.

In the dream I met a guy that I will call “Moses.” He was not moses, but he looked like he could be one. Wherever I went in the dream, he was always there. And even in a crowded room, in the largest parties, and biggest events…although we were rooms apart, he always felt close to me and knew where I was.

I was told in the dream that I was always near Greatness. And now I understood what Fame meant—on a spiritual level. The true meaning of it—with regards to Soul and personal Truth.

Greatness is Knowledge. That is all that it means. When you are Great, you have Total Knowledge—and Total Knowledge can reach all things—great and small—and transcend time.

That was why no matter what room the Master was in, he knew I was near him and vice versa.

In that dream, I met many followers at cocktail parties. They all liked to talk about the Master. Although I never talked about him, I knew him so I did not need to say anything.

In my teens, I used to have crushes on teen idols. Later in life, those teen idols would be walking in front of me.

The reason for this is because the idea of Greatness in my life—always being near me is God’s way of expressing Love for one’s own greatness. God has tried everything possible to show me that “Greatness is always near.” That is why everything I would see on TV, hear on the radio or sold to me through pop culture—would end up becoming a reality…that I would touch or feel a resemblance to—not because I am a star worshiper, but because the idea of Fame is false—and Holy Spirit wanted to show me this personally.

That was why it made everything real for me so that I would never feel disconnected from famous people or my inner sense of greatness. It put me in the avant-garde (at the front of everything)…to make sure that Reality is always Modern—and not a falsehood society calls “Fame” to make people feel less of themselves.

This has been my lesson in Fame, to understand that all popular things in life is transient. That what you see that makes you feel less of yourself, unworthy, unpopular or inadequate will only lead to worship.

The act of worship is a form of black magic. There is nothing good in it. Worship is separation of Self through hypnosis. It disconnects the person from their true inner being—so that they may displace their Greatness by placing it onto an object, an idol or an ideal. That is why so many people have difficulty with religions…unless that religion is free from worship.

Positive images are important, the goal, being to bring out the best in someone, through the ideal of oneself set by example; through resemblance and relatedness of a mocked up image—of self potential. But once that image starts to separate a person from self-reliance on his own inner image–then the image becomes possession. Possession of this kind leads to the practice of self-hypnosis through vanity—and further desire to pull others into worship; which ultimately is a state of bondage.

True religion teaches self love, and strengthens the feeling of inner Greatness so that one can be free.
