„Society is jealous of those who remain away from it.“
– Joseph Campbell
„Whosoever shall be a man must be a non-conformist.“
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
As an analysis of „Conformity and the Conformist“ has already been explored in a previous article, let us now turn our attention to Non-Conformity and the Non-Conformist.
The Non-Conformist is the exact opposite of the Conformist. The Non-Conformist looks at life entirely different than does the Conformist. The Non-Confirmist lives his, or her, life by a set of rules which are designed to both protect, and cultivate, their personal Sovereignty and independent Thought.
Where the Conformist is easily swayed by Intimidation, „guilt trips“, and the false expectations and Opinions of others, the Non-Conformist understands that these gimmicks are simply levers which are used to manipulate the masses and to move people in certain pre-ordained directions. Therefore, the Non-Conformist is eternally vigilant so as to avoid these societal entrapments.
Where the Conformist fears being exiled from a group, organization, or even a segment of society (should their views, attitudes, and behaviors not fall in line with the required expectations of these entities) the Non-Conformist harbors no such fears; for the Non-Conformist is much too busy blazing his, or her, own unique Path into a new, uncharted, and Adventurous future.
Where the Conformist cringes at the prospect of not „fitting in“, or being ridiculed and gossiped about, The Non-Conformist finds these everyday nuisances laughably unimportant. For the Non-Conformist understands that personal Destiny is far more important than the everyday bickerings of the masses.
The Non-Conformist values their individual Thoughts, unique feelings, personal Sovereignty, mental expansion, and spiritual pursuits far too highly to succumb to the fleeting and clouded whims of the mainstream horde. A horde which is so often, and so proudly, on the wrong side of so many important issues…
The Non-Conformist loathes giving up even one miniscule bit of their Sovereignty and Free Will. To do so would be to go against, and violate, their Divine Nature and Spiritual Principles.
For the Divine Nature of the Non-Conformist abhors the threat of Sovereign damage that Conformity can bring unto it. And this, in itself, makes it impossible for the Non-Conformist to voluntarily Conform to the often misguided rules and false expectations of other persons, groups, factions, organizations, and even society itself.
The Non-Conformist watches from afar as the massive parade of humanity passes by in its ceaseless march toward folly, Ignorance, Self-Deception, and Self-Imposed Limitations.
Great advancements and achievements cannot be born from the Conformist. Evolutionary, and revolutionary, achievements are born from the Lone Wolf, the Trailblazer, Wizards and Wanderers, and all Seekers who pursue new Horizons. For these are the True Individuals who bask in the primeval sunshine, breathe the rarified air, and walk the untrodden Paths which are only to be found in the domain of the Non-Conformist.
