LEADERSHIP –
What is important in this present time in our world is to know the pioneer leaders of our past who greatly influenced this world are removed from the hearts of the people. The leaders of today, this present moment, should share and embrace the same faith, philosophy and objective as the people. They, the leaders, should thereby raise each of the governed to his or her own level, according to the principles of consistency from beginning to end.
The mistake, as we have studied and observed, are that throughout our history, hero-worship and fame-seeking has risen to the point of the idea your leaders are great and the general populace is ignorant and powerless. This concept contradicts a true democracy and is wrong.
So it shall be that individuals must and will awaken and unite voluntarily. Some will be artists, some scientists, and others from all walks of life. They will become teaching leaders of the people with whom they are working directly and will teach all men and women to be leaders. At the same time, it is also important that those who support them must become leaders also.
To be a leader in our world, the only requirements are simple and evolve from the real essence of mankind. Leaders should be in absolute faith of their humanhood, declaring always, the greatness of God and self-responsibility.
They should also have a strong sense of responsibility for themselves and those that they lead. A leader should always love his people, protect them, and encourage them warmly into their own power and humanhood. The leader’s sense of responsibility will deepen by his affection of his role as teacher and father or mother.
When a leader lacks mercy or compassion, they will be self-serving and irresponsible. A leader/teacher should always strive and be broad-minded, they should always be capable of understanding their member’s needs, and individual situations, and putting themselves in their place. A leader should practice gentleness and forbearance, and be determined to hear the problems and teach guidance and self-determination to any person to establish self-faith and happiness.
A leader also needs to be impartial, they must not be swayed by their own feelings or self-serving considerations. Always eager to give a fair hearing to reasonable suggestions, but firm in protesting self-serving goals or mistaken views, even to his or her seniors.
Leaders should be careful of those that flatter them, as not to cater to their personal agendas. Leaders should cultivate the sense to spot cheap tricks, lies and sneakiness. They must also put the right person in the right place or position and be courageous about it. The idea is to build long-term integrity in all aspects of life and leadership, always acknowledge the inconspicuous efforts of others, as all souls are part of and contribute to the whole.
Leaders should also have self-confidence, courage and decisiveness, they must believe in their ability to protect members and to help them advance into self-responsibility so all may become determined. Those who have done the inner work on a path of being a true human being, acquire wisdom and are true leaders. They always have faith in themselves. Those who walk the path of heart will discover that through faith emerges wisdom. This same faith enables the leader to employ their wisdom effectively in all situations.
Courage is indispensable to the leader, and leadership is no place for cowardice. Leaders always strive to advance wisdom and courage, helping build an honest and healthy race of human beings. This means producing a world of leaders of the true law of oneness, a development of faith, integrity and character is both the starting point and the end result. This will make all people capable human beings.
Every child born in our world is a new opportunity to build an honest and real world. Leaders should not criticize each error on the part of their members or staff, but should praise them for what they have done well and capably. There will be many other people who will criticize them for their errors, let it not be you.
Being a leader or becoming a leader does not mean you have perfect faith or wisdom, these are life-long pursuits and will increase over time. Being a leader is to develop people, and to help people into self-responsibility, spiritual maturity and the freedom to cultivate voluntary introspection. Mankind can develop remarkably, even under adverse circumstances.
When Earth awakens to her mission and towards her great objective, we will then have full faith and we can all be successful, and a source of great pride to us all.
