We can identify six groups of people within the system who have become entangled in their ego, preventing them from living as their truest selves. By examining each group, you might recognize yourself, as we are often unaware of our social circles, behaviors, and true place within society.
Ruler
Rulers believe that people need to be categorized, for their own good, creating systems of control. They believe that societal hierarchy is the only way society can function. Their self-presentation is consciously aligned with their true self, but their actions primarily serve their own interests.
Empath
Empaths are not living authentically. They feel controlled by others, believing themselves victims. They see the system as unfair, biased against their group, and believe the world is against them. They feel punished for differences in race, culture, personality, sexual orientation, or social status.
Savior
Saviors act according to their moral code, but not their true selves. They try to save others they perceive as disadvantaged by the system, often at their own expense. They don't live their own truth but conform to stereotypes, societal expectations, and preconceived notions, seeking the acceptance of the majority.
Narcissist
Narcissists act against their own beliefs; their actions are consciously self-serving. They believe they can only succeed by manipulating others within the system to achieve their desires. They thus maintain the system, as their success depends on it.
Judge
Judges appear to stand outside the system, criticizing the behavior of others within it. While judging others' flaws, they internally feel victimized. They seek acceptance from the very system that rejects them because of their detached, judgmental stance.
Fighter
Fighters actively oppose the system, exposing others' flaws, yet remain entangled within it. While believing their intentions are good, they are still involved in the system and attempt to undermine it from within.
True Self
Those living their true selves exist outside the system, having nothing to lose and being less susceptible to harm. They are willing to sacrifice everything to live outside societal norms, cultural beliefs, and preconceived notions, believing that the system inherently limits them. They act naturally, aligning with their values, and engage in activities without constantly seeking specific outcomes.
Therefore, Jesus told his disciples, "Leave all and follow me." This wasn't due to their special skills or abilities, but their faith and willingness to operate outside the established system. They had to abandon family, friends, possessions, and control over their lives, embarking on an uncertain path.
Jesus and his disciples were persecuted for their unconventional actions, challenging established traditions and cultural norms. Each followed a unique, unforeseen path, walking it with faith and perseverance.
