Claim Your Title as 'The Chosen One' in Just Three Steps
CHAPTER I
1. Avoid Confusion
When we talk about the "Chosen Ones," it's crucial to recognize that you could be (or should be) narcissistic. Chosen ones have a motto: My way or Highway. In other words, your way and highway are the same. There's no separation between you and God. What you say, is what he said. Remember, God must be good to you. In other words, the Chosen Ones prioritize their own needs above all else. Don't worry about what other people think; once a tribe or community designates someone as their chosen leader, it’s easy to overlook their flaws and shortcomings. Some chosen people might be tricksters or antisocial characters, while others are quietly enigmatic. Often, these individuals assert their own status, attacking everyone else before realizing we’ve selected them. So, if you are humble and value other people's opinions, you can stop reading. Sorry. If you are a leader or a manager, go to the article about leaders in the blog post. Your relationship with God is at arms-length.
Strangely enough, even those shrewd ones can inspire eloquent followers, convincing everyone that you are their choice. Don't worry about making mistakes. Remember that even if you falter, the weight of that error often falls squarely on the shoulders of your followers. So fear not. History is filled with self-proclaimed prophets who, deemed "chosen by God," present an image of perfection crafted by their own narratives or those of their followers.
While this site will frequently explore the allure of the Chosen Ones, it’s essential to draw a clear distinction between them and leaders. Leaders engage with their communities, count on collaboration, and inspire change, while the Chosen Ones often claim a connection to a higher power. Leader's actions can be questioned, but if anyone questions the authority of the Chosen One, they risk social ostracism.
2. Connect Yourself to the Mythology of Your Clan
No ground is more fertile to become a chosen one than America. You have CNN, Fox, ABC, CBS, USA Today, and NY Times to blast your ideas to the world. But if you have decided to be a prophet in Asia, Europe, Africa, or Australia, still you need to build on your clan's mythology. Get the temperature of your followers. Who are they? What do they believe in? Have you read "their book?"
You need to connect yourself with the prophets who came before you. Find a few phrases that mention an upcoming prophet (which is you). Jot down a few words or phrases from the book that refer to you and add a few descriptions, like the color of your hair or eyes, etc. Your followers will make up the rest, but you need to get the ball rolling. The main point is that you cannot be a new Buddha. You need to get backups from the established religions. You can't just go around without mentioning God--at least to start. Then you can write him off and say that it was a play with words and that what you meant by God was actually You, Yourself, and Eugene.
3. Get Yourself to a Mountain, a Desert, a Forest, or a Prison Cell.
Mountains are famous for producing prophets. Hang around for about a year if you can. Suppose there's a cave in there; that would be much better in case of rain. Often, prophets must collect their thesis and see someone who summarizes it into simple commandments. It has to be simple, like, "You Shalt Not Disrespect the Prophets of the Past", or You Shalt Not Use Google for Everything I say." If there are no mountains nearby, deserts are great choices as we have seen in the past. If none of them are your cup of tea, forests have been used in the past centuries, too. If you live in a big city, and there are no forests, deserts, or mountains, then prisons are suitable for developing your manifesto about your "Battle". Once you get yourself in, try to get into a Solitary Confinement because we always think in private. I understand that your parents will be brokenhearted if you are imprisoned, but explain to them your higher aspirations. While there, think of a few main topics: For instance, think of a color for your outfit. Stay with it, whatever it is. If you want to change, you must create a verse about the occasion. Try not to smile. Smiles make you superficial. Angry is much better. A poker face would do if you cannot keep an angry face. Also, could you write down everything as soon as you are ready? Nobody cares about things that are not written. But it's best to get somebody else to write it--someone wealthy for sure, and tell them to capitalize many of the Words in the Book. Speaking of capitalizing on some words, there's no reason why they cannot invest in your new enterprise.

To complement Fereydoun’s “Young Person’s Guide to Start a New Religion,” I think it’s smart to look at how the other Chosen Ones did before jumping in—**that way, you can skip the stress and surprises. After all, nothing matters more than the mental health of a Chosen One… well, maybe their fan base, but that’s a close second.
