Consequences of mimicking and copycats
Fashion, creations, and writing is where I shine and people still copy me. It's easy to steal an idea that was created and is visible, or traits that are visible, but thinking these things up and keeping them going is something no one can copy. For those who are in the same boat, remember that people who copy and can only copy move on to someone else's creation because they lack the blueprints that you have. They are literally waiting on your next creation because they aren't original. It's sad and distressing, but there's so many unoriginal people. This is why those who are most deprived of mystical experiences often obsess most over written texts. Most people are shallow. According to the Myers-Briggs MBTI system approximately 75% of the population are S or sensor types. Which means that they don’t have an inner voice more or less. They can only observe the obvious. The opposite being intuition or N.
Our culture is so set on being output-based due to its maya influence that people jump instantly to "creating" before taking enough time and energy to work internally and engage in input-based activities. So things get really muddled. Some people do not have the patience and the drive to be their own truth so when someone copies me from my own gnosis I become frantic because that externalised force of my creation is the filament of my own maya, my struggles.
Getting inspiration from figures and teachers who ultimately inspire one to go inwards and become independent and not a parrot of someone else is key. Becoming an individuated person with an internalised connection to truth (not just copying the externalised behaviours of teachers/great thinkers/etc.) . All real "teachers" will set a student up to become independent, because they nurture them and so are eager to raise them up as an equal. A false teacher will want the students to be dependent because they feed off the "students", and so want their worship and attention. Hence why you get these spiritual or religious gurus who just want the followers or “clout”. There are so many humble and authentic people out there but I have come to realise that you have to use careful discretion to weed out people who have done their work from people who are truly just copying others. Seems as though n oone wants to be their unique selves anymore!
