The Story-Seller Prophet

Metaphorical Narrative

There’s a figure in your mind dressed like a prophet, holding scrolls of prediction.
It rehearses answers, builds stories, and calls this “wisdom.” But look closer: the scrolls are thin, brittle, written in fear, not foresight.

It is no prophet.
It is a story-seller.
A hustler of safety scripts that never match reality.

Every prophecy ends in the same demand: be afraid, obey me.

Burn the paper. The prophet was only ever a scarecrow.

Core Insight

The narrative-maker does not protect you. It invents futures that don’t exist and forces you to live rehearsals you never needed. Safety never came from a script — only from freedom in the present.

Saturday Experiment

1. Spot the voice predicting disaster.
2. Name it: Prophet of Paper.
3. Refuse rehearsal. Burn the scroll.

Sunday Reflection

• If someone acted this prophecy on stage, how absurd would it look?
• How much of your life has been lived inside rehearsals that never came true?
