For what it’ s worth
An authentic rebel doesn’t even bother to notify the flock that he has left all of their agreements and conformity behind. For a being of that state seeks no emotional consoling or comfort - no social identity as the “rebel”.
In order to be recognized, it takes more than just yourself - which is a contradiction to what the rebel image represents: Autonomy, isolation, freedom. Otherwise to gain or achieve status as a rebel with a social hierarchy can be a dependent cry for attention and validation of self worth. Calls for this attention are increasingly hard to hear amongst the din of modern commercial chaos and a sea of needy competitors.
The counter-culture anti hero has become another market sector and commodity to cash in on and trade. So those who wish to really cover new ground make no announcement of doing so at all. They must leave without a trace or leaving of some bread-crumb trail hoping to be found again with heaps of loving praise about how adventurous, brave and innovative they were. Go. Just do and be.
Social groupings are refugee camps for the mind based identity - a last stand against annihilation and absorption into the body of god itself.
All this is not to say the authentic rebel doesn’t express themself through any of the great arts or medium of their choice. They just aren’t fraught with worry over gaining acceptance into the awards show. There is no dependance on external forces or need for the great life reliving “contract” that kick starts their life into meaning.
The impeccable warriors of Ancient Mexico never sought autographs for their accomplishments and magical feats of perception.
Just go. Do and Be.
