Just trying to make you proud. Also, nice chompers!
May I take a msg?
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.
5:5

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another {discerning of spirits}; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
<Discernment Senpai>
The alchemy of prophecy can be accomplished through one of of two paths, the Light or the Dark. The Dark path of prophecy would be to concentrate power in the hands of a few elites, and with this power attempt to control the wider population's thinking as much as possible in such a way as to demonstrate themselves to be masters of the unknown. This could be bankers predicting a manufactured economic crisis or it could be elites co-opting biblical prophecy for their own ends, as in forming the modern State of Israel. It could even be seen in the public education system projecting power over children for the purpose of conformity and compliance. Lots of examples, but the main factors are concentration of knowledge in an elite class of initiates, deception of the masses, self-serving fulfillment of "prophecy."
The Light path is the more mysterious and can be seen in the works of Plato/The Academy and any Humanist or Light Occultist Mystery Schools that have followed. Their idea is to gather a group of exceptional people and impart a true understanding of the world in general, including how to think (the Trivium), but not divulge all knowledge to every student. By limiting knowledge and preserving some mystery, the Sublime toward which all capable students are drawn can remain a hidden attractor. This ecosystem will naturally promote good and curious minds who will become increasingly light-bearing explorers; they take what they learn and use it to augment and improve their exploration. The student's more-knowledgeable teachers can impart additional information that will help guide the student (until their knowledge is exhausted). Knowing that every revelation constrains the student's conception of truth in some way, information must be handed out carefully, often symbolically.
The most successful become obsessively trained on finding what's true, and because they haven't been given "all knowledge," they aren't bound during that time by inherited limitations of thinking. This makes them pure and free, able to chart new ground. This represents a good use of mystery as opposed to the deceptive use I first described. Eventually they might be fully initiated into the mysteries and become guides themselves.
You might find one special student in a million who gravitates toward the Sublime with less overt direction from their guides, and because they see with fewer limitations, they may apprehend it from a new perspective, doing so beyond the regular customs of initiation. This makes them something of a heroic figure, because they've cheated Death in a way, for initiation is a death/resurrection ritual, whereby one becomes bound to the symbols employed. But our hero has preempted that initiation through actual inner transformation, and initiated a brand new vista for us all. This hero fills the archetypal role of confronting the unknown when it manifests itself, gathering something of value as a consequence, and sharing it with his community.
Jesus, the ultimate archetypal hero, the stone the builders rejected, claimed this mantle in Luke 4:14-30.
When engaged in open warfare, victory becomes one's only option, and defeat ones sole enemy.
