Within spiritual circles it is frowned down on and taken extemely seriously as not to declare oneself as being enlightened. It is said, 'That to declare oneself enlightened, proves one is already not', as the statement is said indeed by the Ego. To have ego is to not be enlightened.

The self declared prophet is not listened to or taken seriously and would never be accepted within religious circles. And yet today we are reaching a point in time where many are becoming illumined, but non prepared to declare themselves as such.

 Many words spoken prove there is much wisdom out there. If only all could be gathered together to share and use the accumulated wisdom for the good of all!

And I saw this somewhere which seems interesting...

With a sea of masters,
I claim not to be a master
But to be a fool.
Unique,
Carefree, and
Happy
-- to do as I wish.

Let me be a fool..haha.
