Has Your Leader Gone to the Dark Side?

I know the type. I’m actually friendly with some spiritual teachers who have, as peers in this very unique industry of metaphysics and consciousness. 

In this weird time of leaders and teachers falling deep into conspiracy theory, offering useful insights into these odd belief systems.

I want to tell you something you may not have noticed.  They’ve always been afraid.  Afraid of Y2K.  Afraid of 2012.  Afraid of cell towers.  Afraid of getting sick.  Afraid of psychic attacks.  Afraid of negative thoughts.  Afraid of off planet anti-human agents.  Afraid of elite secret societies.  Afraid of government putting the unvaccinated into containment camps.  Afraid of government putting the vaccinated into containment camps.  Afraid of _____ so many things…  

They talk a big game, and sound very powerful.  But it’s like a kitten in a lion suit.  What I really see when I observe it, is fear.  

Are there dangerous things in this reality?  For sure. 

Are there things to be afraid of, that can hurt us, and our loved ones? Yes. 

Is there a way to operate yourself so that you are immune to the dangers or bad luck in this reality? No…   No.   

But an emotionally immature person, with unresolved pain and/or parental issues, probably prefers to pretend they can create this immunity.  And they lead others, who possibly also want to pretend they can.  

That doesn’t mean it’s true.  And this kind of pretending can be damaging, to you, your sense of self, and the unaddressed hurts and fears, 

that just want love, wise explanations, intelligent understanding and inspired strategies for responding to the actual dangers that exist, 

not new things to be terrified about or new enemies to be angry at.  

Maybe it’s just me, 

   but when a leader is connected to their soulful layers 

they naturally give you reasons to believe in yourself, 

your own intuition, your own sense of soulfulness and the true nature of Source/God.  

An inspired leader 

  inspires and informs, 

   addressing risks and dangers and 

    providing strategies and techniques for responding. 

They don’t make risks into a war. 

They don’t make thoughtless characters into a force as big as, or bigger than, God. 

It’s a trick. I think these leaders know they can get a lot of attention by tapping into fears, and sounding like they have all the right secrets to keep you safe, and “informed” and strong. But their pattern for authority is: having an enemy.  Their system of leadership needs a dark, scary creature that is about to ruin everything. And there is always someone in this reality, doing stupid, thoughtless, disagreeable things that can play that role.  Always. 

To me this is the technique so easily observed in many, many leaders.  

But do you need an enemy to feel strong? Does a community need a common enemy to be united?  

Does your leader need a foe, to look like a hero?  

See it now?  

Some may be asking why leaders do this?  I don’t sense they are playing the above out consciously. I sense it is just an inner pattern. Maybe it was nurture, from their upbringing. Maybe it was their way of dealing with some trauma.  Unresolved trauma needs a powerful story to match the depth of pain that is felt.  The bigger the sense of trauma, the bigger the enemy has to be. See?  Maybe it was such a captivating story that they just kept telling it. 

But there’s another way to lead, unite and interpret the dangers in this reality.  We use some of them in my community. We don’t scare the shit of our members with unjustified stories of incredible risk and unthinkable enemies. So, if you like that, I mean… if you need that, to feel alive, to match your pain, then you’d be positively bored in our community. 

We teach that pain wants love, *your* love, not stories, not something else to be afraid of.  Pain wants to hear from a healthy, whole sense of you, “I’m sorry that happened. That sucks. We didn’t deserve that.  God is bummed this happened, too.”  And all of that is… true.  You can do it right now, if you want. Say those words, to the hurt parts of you.  And if you are thinking, “how can I do that? I don’t have the healthy, whole self yet?”  My response to you is, “Yes you do. Because you are more than your pain.  You’ve always been more than your pain. You may just not have known it.  This is transcendence.”

God doesn’t have enemies. People do. And those enemies are often beings they’ve never met. They’ve only heard about them. Through stories.  Enemies… they’ve never met… 

Fascinating, when you really look at it, isn’t it?

In summary, I’ll offer that if I have an enemy it is bad ideas, thoughtless actions and unloved hurts.  You don’t need a pitchfork for that.
