Yes, I thought I was a prophet at one point. I was having an episode of psychosis at the time and was out of touch with reality.

Iā€™m sorry :confused: Youā€™re not nothing. That you can hear voices is special. Have you maybe tried thinking with anybody you love, that loves you? Excuse me if thatā€™s not a possibility (maybe itā€™s just a my-head thing).

Multiple times, none of which Iā€™m proud of. To be fair though, I think a lot of us were led to believing we were ultimately special by some of the voices in our heads. We donā€™t just have ridiculous egos that need satisfying, or anything like that.

I feel the opposite. The more I look at the Universe, the smaller I get. Everyone seems to me so damn smart, it takes me a long time to catch up to culture and diction.

I heard people praying to me. Thought I had to save the world. It was horrible. Scariest thing that ever happened to me.

I had the delusion of prophecy, But now I think most of the prophets were had hallucinations and delusion of grandiosity.
You read what prophets told us and know for sure that those phrases can not be the phrases of God, and its only their projection.
God never speaks with any person and telling him or her foolish things.
God must be the most knowledgeable not the most ignorant and idiot.
another point is that if there is a God, he donā€™t use words to guide you. he wishes and itā€™s done.
The concept of prophecy is totally a delusion of grandiosiy and if there is voices, you probably have schizotype personality or worse schizophrenia and psychosis.
Always challenge what God is telling you.
Ask him hard to answer questions to examine him. they would always fail.
you donā€™t trust me? try ir couple of times. ask him scientific questios that you know the answer and donā€™t tell the voice the answers.
God is not an idiot.

I believe that everyone is special in their own way, but that psychosis makes us feel that we are special above others, which is wrong in my opinion.

I often get the feeling that everything i see was made specifically for me, and there are messages hidden in the world that are put there for me to decode and save the world, or for me to save myself, and demons are watching me to see if i make the right choices. Itā€™s a very scary feeling thatā€™s hard to suppress. Itā€™s tempting and scary at the same time and i never want to suppress it because it makes me feel important, but ive learned to run away from it.

I consider myself a visionary, but not a prophet. I lay no claim to divine sanction.

Saving the world was apart of my delusion as well. I do not recommend a sense of grandiose cosmic responsibility at all.

I thought I was cloned by a psychologist who was a teacher in my university. I remembered that she asked me for some of my hair.

I had the Jesus delusion. I came here when psychotic and soon found out there was so many more of those who had similar.

I never quite developed that delusion, just had strange feelings of perfection and innocence. The voices would try to convince I was Jesus.
