I’m Not a Powerful Demigod (yet)
6 Jan 2026
I feel some people's expectations of me are too high. I'm just a regular guy training for superpowers, and I have all the same real-life problems and issues to deal with, the same as everyone else.
Yes, while it's true that I have proclaimed I plan to become a demigod in the future, with powerful telekinesis and flight abilities, that future is likely quite far away, and I'm not suddenly going to transform into a demigod any time soon.
Some people need to realize that it can take at least 30 or 40 years of serious training to attain powerful supernatural abilities, and honestly, I realistically see myself attaining these powers within the next 10 - 20 years or so.
We should remember that people such as Master John Chang of Mo Pai (who I have great respect for), trained for many decades before they were able to perform some notable worthwhile abilities. Training for supernatural abilities is a lifelong journey, and not something that should be rushed as fast as possible. Even John Chang was a businessman with family and a normal life, yet he still found time for serious practice and training, just as I do my best to fit my training into my normal everyday life.
Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for and appreciate these people pushing me to attain powers faster, as it means they believe in me, but at the same time, it's not good to be pressured every year to develop powers faster. Supernatural powers are spiritual powers, and they need time and patience to develop.
The first 10 years of my training was trial and error, and I was stumbling around in the dark, testing and experimenting with every theory and technique I could think of. Now, only recently, in the last couple of years, have I found the true path, which involves training of the spirit.
I'm not a monk living in a temple, with nothing to do but train 24/7. I'm a normal guy, with the same stresses and worries as most people living in this modern society. I want to make all my followers proud of me, and attain the powers I say I will attain, but it will likely take time, many more years, before I'm able to demonstrate much higher-level powers.
Anyway, I have faith in you, just as you have faith me.
Your friend,
Zanetti.
