Identity and Privacy

I find myself compelled to address the topic of my identity, and my decision to approach this project from a position of anonymity. I imagine that some people are curious about who the person is behind these writings. And I expect that many reserve their trust about such important matters for people they actually know, or can at least keep track of in the real world.

I respect that, and I’d hate to lose followers over this concern. So I’m going to proactively address that topic now. 

In the process, I guess I’ll just get a few things related to the matter of Identity and Privacy off my chest, and then we can move on with what I am here to share.

If you want to know why I have chosen to keep my identity to myself as I attempt to launch this endeavor, the first thing I’ll tell you is that it isn’t that simple. There are various interrelated reasons for the way in which I’m rolling this out. In order to get the full picture, you’ll need to stick with me a while longer. 

But for now, I will say that one of the main reasons I choose to stay anonymous is that I am basically an introvert who has no inclination nor aptitude to be a dynamic leader of a massive movement on the scale I envision. Not only is this my innate personality type, but my early life experiences and ongoing circumstances have consistently reinforced this perspective. 

I just feel more comfortable not having everyone’s attention focused on me.

That is not to diminish myself. On the contrary. Though at times my circumstances have been frustrating, I have long since come to appreciate and enjoy my invisibility superpower. 

From my position of apparent transparency, I have been able to quietly observe people, events, and the unfolding of our world from a detached, objective point of view. 

I have noticed the fundamental patterns of reality reflected in our society and civilization. I’ve traced those patterns back to the ancient sources of wisdom, and cross-referenced them with countless abstracted aspects of Creation. Through the miracle of our global media system, I’ve been able to zoom in and out of the fractal reality in which we all exist, gazing at it with fascination and awe, like a wondrous globe in my hands. 

And I’ve enjoyed every moment of it. 

But it hasn’t been all about entertainment. Every moment of my life has been accruing to this grand plan I am preparing to introduce. 

The moment has arrived.

Now, I’m convinced that beneath my anodyne facade, I hold the potential to completely transform the course of Human events in the relative blink of an eye. I have a singular view of a portal to the next stage of our planetary evolution, and a clear understanding of the steps along the way. 

In this sense, I’m kind of like Paul Muad ‘Dib Atreides in the movie Dune. I can foresee a narrow path to paradise through the perilous storms ahead. 

If this sounds like the ravings of a madman suffering from delusions of grandeur, I get it. Believe me, I’ve spent my entire life wrestling with this awareness and the strong desire not to be that guy. But ultimately, it comes down to the fact that I am talking about something that, while based on generally accepted fundamental truths, is completely original. There is no one on Earth talking about this specific plan I am about to unveil, so I have a difficult time removing myself from the equation. 

If I don’t get it started, nobody else will.

Ultimately, the question as to whether I am deluded or not depends on whether other people agree with what I am putting out there.

At any rate, this isn’t the kind of thing I share in casual conversation with people who know me as their mild-mannered colleague, friend, or family member. 

Over time, I came to understand that most people tend to discount unconventional ideas, and place a premium on overt material success in all its forms. Those with enough socially validated assets, resources, and titles are trusted to speak about such important subjects. Common folk, like me, are expected to just join the chorus in the comments section. 

In terms of the collective mindset, I know that my mediocre social and professional profile would only detract from the message I am trying to share. It’s nothing personal — It’s just Human Nature.

Being aware of this, I long ago resolved that for the sake of the mission, as well as for my own peace of mind, I would endeavor to keep my identity as anonymous as possible. 

So there you have it — two reasons why I’ve chosen to maintain my anonymity for the time being. 

Were it not for the unique position in which I find myself, and the importance of the mission I feel myself called to, I would be quite content being someone who quietly watches the world go by from a comfortable position on the sidelines. Drawing attention to myself and making huge, seemingly outlandish claims about all the great things I will accomplish is way outside of my comfort zone. 

So, I hope you understand that, when I make these incredible claims, it’s not because it’s in my nature to boast, but out of a sense of obligation to my fellow Human Beings, because I Believe in what I have to share that deeply.

I hope you appreciate the effort I am making against all of my base instincts screaming at me to lay low and keep quiet. 

And I hope you’ll focus on the meaning of the words I’m writing — which are the point, after all — rather than on the particulars of my persona. 

I’m not saying I want to remain anonymous to everyone and in perfect isolation forever. I do expect to reveal aspects of my identity selectively to followers who gain my trust. 

And, over time, I will also reveal other reasons why I have chosen to protect my privacy at this point — reasons of far more significance than my personal well-being. 

My next article will be the penultimate message in this initial series, before I share the primary key to this vision that I so ardently long to share with you. There are many more pieces of the puzzle to follow, but the beating heart of this project is only two messages away.
