Complex of Messiah


The complex of Messiah is a psychological state in which the individual believes to be or be destined to be a spiritual savior, in some specific field of action, group, event, or around a certain situation, or even encompassing all humanity.

In experiencing this complex of Messiah, the affected reaches his own glory and has absolute confidence in his abilities and his own destiny, as well as in the effects that his participation would have on a group of people or aspect of life. In some cases, the Messiah complex may be associated with schizophrenia, a situation in which the person hears voices, and has hallucinations that convince him that he saw and / or spoke to God, to the spirits, to angels or witches or devils , and / or with other people already deceased or absent, which in the opinion of the affected, these things would confirm their own messianity. In the most serious cases, the affected person can see himself as the incarnation of a God, or as a religious-spiritual messiah with important transcendent powers, and predestined to save humanity or to grant eternal life to a group of elect.
