This is the "callee's" unconscious at work. This person has been unknowingly commanded by society to perform this function. The manifestation of " GOD " is purely active imagination, and is a typical symbol representing higher authority. More often than not, the individual has a history of repressed communication, sometimes as extreme as isolationism, where stimuli has been avoided and ignored. This, in actuality, makes the person a more suitable carrier for society's messages, because the unconscious will obey what it does not recognize. When this person begins to listen to his unconscious, funny things begin to develop, and often, dream like symbology is interpreted literally. The main thing is that you cannot consciously decide about something you cannot, for one reason or another, consciously perceive. Bizarre announcements usually follow, and that person commits himself to a religious cause. It is evident that this, and in fact, most people, do not think purely for themselves. This power you describe is probably the realization of unknown stimuli, and the release of repression from communication with the unconscious, in other words, enlightenment, that gives this person a heightened sense of awareness. This makes this person better able to subliminally subvert the bulk of the unenlightened masses. The unconscious will chug away until a particularly strong symbol penetrates the repressive barrier, and for many, this symbol is god like. In some cases, this enlightenment is completely off the mark, such as the son of sam killer hallucinating a conversation with his dog. Most cases, however, resolve themselves into religious fanaticism, at least temporarily, until the next meeting with the unknown, the unconscious. Brad Templeton writes: > Sure, they are interesting.

It appears unlikely that they will intervene in any significant way, at least for the time being, but that is a completely different statement than saying that they are incapable of intervention. Perhaps they are simply waiting for the right time. John Williams < Unacknowledged Acceptance >
