How does the world expect to be saved?

Does the world expect to be saved?

Given my personal interactions with the supernatural world, I feel that mainstream society has at least the smallest expectation that something “from above” will arrive to save them – for they go to church in large numbers.

But even if the traditional Superman arrived, his presence wouldn’t solve this world’s problems, his presence would signify the arrival of an alien tyrant.

For all of Superman’s powers are keyed toward physically suppressing human behavior, his powers are only effective in a world where people believe the root of their problems lie in the physical realm.

The Superman of DC comics is the Super-Caveman: dominant not because of his ability to solve a society’s problems, but because of humankind’s inability to see that its problems are intellectual.

Is it any wonder then that Superman’s archenemy is often an intellectual?

And is it any wonder that “magic” is one of Superman’s only weaknesses?

“Magic,” the notion that the world can be altered with the intellect to a degree that defies traditional thinking and with mental tools that ignore the laws of science.

I use this analogy to explain why the world is the way it is today, or to attempt to explain at least.

As a person with a large degree of supernatural ability, it occurs to me that my talents may very well have come about as the result of the world calling out for help.

Though there are complicated reasons as for why supernatural help is not reaching through to people.

The simplest reason being that Evil is at work, and even worst: people trust evil way more than they should.

Though it’s up those who can counter evil to do so, and perhaps those with powers “from up above” or elsewhere to use them to do so, to save the world as a different kind of super-man, one who solves the intellectual problems of society with supernatural means.
