“Since Descartes made a pact with the Pope to split the human experience in two, and split the mind and spirit from the body, we have wandered into a place that keeps presenting us with paradoxes that we think we have to resolve somehow.” – Rethinking Leadership
As per usual, straight to the heart of the matter. True leadership achieves an exalted degree of access to their will and an exalted ability to make decisions in accordance with their capability to accept, truly, the reality of what lies before them and within them, which in turn grants further permission into the nature of reality itself which is inherently paradoxical. My view is that 2e people have earned this 'signature' and this capability, this being-ness which permits a superior attendance to the truth, from successful periods of initiation and spiritual development in other lifetimes. The question at hand, to me, is how society will create space, support, and encouragement for these leaders to rise. Certainly, their platform will not be built on the detritus of a failed system.
Thank you for your comment! While I am personally uncomfortable with anything having to do with "superior", you're right on about "attendance to the truth". Those that work in the field call it a "strong sense of justice." And the bit about other lifetimes, yes - while obviously not proveable given our current, earthly technologies, it's a common conversation in my circles related to this work. I appreciate your thoughts.
A hurdle I see is “fulcrum” and “center” remain synonymous with those who do not, cannot, or will not acknowledge how the power is distributed and concentrated in relation to the fulcrum not being eqidistant and in the middle. Descartes, a neurodivergent, also realized this?

Given his tendency towards system-based thinking I think it's a fair assumption! Thank you for your comment.
Thank you for continuing the thinking, the conversing, and the acting needed to subvert dominant paradigms! Shift happens.
It does! Thank you, I'm doing my best.
