Prophets are cuckolds. Why observe and predict the world manifesting when there is an option to create it? Why settle for being a prophet in a universe that has Gods?
Most prophets are suffering from the theistic mental illness of assuming the spiritual world is supernatural. And this supernatural idea started with the Catholic Church. The sorcerers before never believed in any God outside of the natural; they simply knew that power can be cultivated and wielded in an infinite number of ways. However, they did not believe that someone who puts a curse on you is any more powerful or supernatural than the person who throws a spear through your chest.
This pacifist idea of predicting the future while at the same time having no say at all about how it is going to manifest is only a virtue for a man who has no desire—the Buddhist version of waking up. But for a prophet, especially so-called prophets of doom who predict things they have an aversion to or that could hurt someone, it is a form of spiritual defeat.
It is understandable why the Church reinforced this idea of prophecy in order to trick the congregation into the same spiritual servitude. After all, what is the business of the Church if not to claim the believer's soul? It is safe to say that Church prophets are all bafere, or at best, useful idiots.
This attack on prophets is also directed at the analysts who predict wars, financial collapses, and all manner of global doom—especially those who have captured enough attention to turn their prophecies into self-fulfilling spells. What is the point of the gift of vision if not creation? There is no such thing as God's plan. These are just ideas, or what sorcerers call spells, that are cast on you to pacify you in order to harvest your natural energy to manifest someone else's desires.
Prophecy is a mental illness. Analysis for its own sake is a lazy man's indulgence. A man bends the universe to his will, even if he needs to walk on water against the tide.
