00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,400
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Progressive.

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:15,400
This series, this particular one, we will talk about leadership and why personal leadership

3
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:25,520
or leadership in corporate governance or in political structures that we have or institutions

4
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,160
are nothing more than an ego trip.

5
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,760
Now this is not meant to trigger any one of you, although it might.

6
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:37,480
But let us examine the aspects of leadership and why people are so hungry and putting out

7
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:42,320
memes and forwards and this one is a great leader and that one was a great leader and

8
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,480
people wanting leadership and followers all the time even on social media.

9
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:53,160
Hunger for followers, hunger for appreciation, hunger for being looked at, reinforcing the

10
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:54,160
ego.

11
00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:00,320
Why do people want so much of ego trips all the time you might ask?

12
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:07,720
Well, first let us examine how leadership itself, if a person is hungering for it,

13
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,800
if a person is hankering for leadership, what is the need for that?

14
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,880
Well, it can come from two places.

15
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,120
Number one, it can come from a place of wounding.

16
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:25,440
It can come from a place of not being validated as a child, not being seen as a child or feeling

17
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,840
insufficient, low self-worth.

18
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:34,640
So when any human being is put down as a child, they will start craving for leadership when

19
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:41,840
they are grown up because they want to go for it from a place of fulfilling that void

20
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:49,600
in themselves by seeking appreciation, seeking power, the sense of power and ego fulfillment

21
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:55,880
from the external world, be it whatever institutions or whatever work they want to pursue.

22
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,000
So it is like chasing a high.

23
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,720
You are essentially chasing a high where you want appreciation all the time from the collective

24
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,960
or from any institution or from any company that you are working in.

25
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:16,000
So leadership and the people who go after leadership in this form and fashion in the

26
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,800
way it is just to get appreciation.

27
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,560
It is just to be validated.

28
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,680
It is just to feel like this is who I am.

29
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,960
This is my title or this is my position.

30
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:27,960
I am an engineer.

31
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:28,960
I am a this.

32
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:29,960
I am a doctor.

33
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:30,960
I am a lawyer.

34
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,040
I am a manager.

35
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,960
Big thing among Indians is always everybody wanting to be managers or I am a CEO.

36
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:44,600
All these titles that we get on running after titles per se doesn't really constitute a

37
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,880
leadership that becomes a power trip that becomes an ego trip.

38
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:55,120
It's nothing more than you seeking validation for something which is lacking in you to begin

39
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,120
with.

40
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,120
Technically, there is nothing lacking.

41
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,600
There is nothing lacking in anyone for that matter, but it's the seeking and the drive

42
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,680
with which you go out with.

43
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,400
Now what drive are we going out with here?

44
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,000
We are going out with anger.

45
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,920
We are going out with resentment.

46
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:16,200
That's the energy that the ego wants going out with aggression.

47
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,040
If you want to talk in terms of Vedic Astrology perspective, it will be like Saturn kind of

48
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,040
energy.

49
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,240
Saturn is a rebel wherever Saturn appears.

50
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,240
Saturn ruled.

51
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,480
Naksatras are all rebels or Sun ruled.

52
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,720
Naksatras are all about ego.

53
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,360
So if you see, you know, most of the leadership should take their charts and analyze for a

54
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,360
second.

55
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:42,400
They will have powerful Sun and powerful Saturn in their positions, both of which are two extremities

56
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,200
of seeking leadership.

57
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,920
The Sun wants to seek leadership from focus on oneself.

58
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:48,920
Look at me.

59
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:49,920
Look at me.

60
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:50,920
Kind of an ego.

61
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,040
Saturn wants to do it by rebelling against the system and saying, this is not okay.

62
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,040
That is not okay.

63
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,040
I was not treated properly as a kid.

64
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:05,560
I was denied all the promotions or for my hard work, not appreciated.

65
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,080
That's Saturn.

66
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:15,360
So even if you analyze it from a Vedic Astrology perspective, there is this energy of leadership

67
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:22,640
being coming from a place of lack of feeling the lack of sense of self, a self that has

68
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:29,760
not matured enough to say, I want to go out there and teach and contribute, but rather

69
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,840
to take the sense of adoration and appreciation from everybody else.

70
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:40,120
Now, if you even go back from a historical perspective, if you go back in time, even

71
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,880
the greatest of kings, emperors, empires that have come and gone and managed to the

72
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:51,920
retracer all over the earth, they were all ruled by very egotistical leaders.

73
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,800
They were highly narcissistic, highly violent.

74
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:02,200
Remember, the violence comes from that perspective because you are going out to begin with, you

75
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,400
are going out with an aggressive energy.

76
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,400
Get the energy of that.

77
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,880
You are going out with an aggressive energy.

78
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,760
You want to fulfill something.

79
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,640
You want to get something.

80
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,160
See how low consciousness, all these energies really are.

81
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,560
You are trying to derive something from the collective when in fact, there is nothing

82
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,440
that anybody can give you, doesn't matter how adored you are.

83
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,800
It doesn't matter if you are even a dictator of a country.

84
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,280
It doesn't really work, isn't it?

85
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:30,280
They just come and go.

86
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:34,280
They are as mortal as the rest of us.

87
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:37,040
Death is a great equalizer of all of these things.

88
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:43,720
You see, even the mortal remains of any dead great leader or dictator or president or a

89
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,200
prime minister of any country.

90
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,400
What you are seeing is just flesh and bones.

91
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,200
The threat death is a great equalizer in all these things.

92
00:05:54,200 --> 00:06:00,040
If you evaluate it from a death perspective, there is nothing to be gained or nothing to

93
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:06,200
be lost even in terms of leadership or in terms of power.

94
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:12,440
Going after it from a conscious perspective, a conscious individual and aware individual

95
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,720
would never try such things.

96
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,720
Simple.

97
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:16,720
They would never try such things.

98
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:22,440
A mature person, a truly mature person who can look inside and say, okay, where does

99
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,000
this need for me come from?

100
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,240
What am I going in for in all these positions of power that I am seeking?

101
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,440
What part of me is getting fed from all of this?

102
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,480
That will be a good place for leaders to start.

103
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,480
That's one thing.

104
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:47,560
Secondly, from a progressive society point of view, from the higher evolution of the

105
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,200
society point of view, it doesn't work as well.

106
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,320
It won't serve any meaning because we are trying to and moving towards a flat structure

107
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,320
of a society.

108
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,800
When we say flat structure of a society, it is not top down.

109
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,480
It is not a pyramidal structure.

110
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,480
It is not hierarchy.

111
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,040
How can we get to a non-hierarchical form of society or evolution?

112
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,720
Well, in that case, the concept itself becomes a leader.

113
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:19,960
The concept and ideas that we all produce or individually agree on becomes the leader

114
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,480
rather than a human being.

115
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:27,720
Because the human being, if you put them in any position, that position tends to occupy

116
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:37,960
a sense of needing an ego validation, needing a validation of some kind.

117
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,000
Whether it should be my ego or it should be my personality or it should be my family or

118
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,280
it should be my lineage and yada yada yada.

119
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,160
It goes on and on.

120
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:55,040
The endless needs of the mind or the manas as it is called in Vedic astrology is endless.

121
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,800
If you try to put a person or a human being in charge of a leadership, it's always going

122
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:00,800
to fail.

123
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:06,400
That's how all these systems of even governance have failed through time, through civilizations.

124
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,360
It is because you put the human being there and you never know who the next human being

125
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:15,680
is going to come and fill up and what their cravings are, what they think is the right

126
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:22,680
race or they start claiming ours is a superior race and theirs is an inferior race and all

127
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,000
this rubbish that has gone on, you know what I'm talking about.

128
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,560
Just go through history.

129
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:37,280
So all these BS will keep coming on and on if you don't lose the human out of the, keep

130
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,720
the human out of the picture and put the concept on top.

131
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,520
The concept if is there, if it's just an idea we're working with, that's what we try to

132
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,320
do with the idea of constitution in democratic countries.

133
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,000
The constitution is what we go by.

134
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,360
Well, the constitution is not being very specific.

135
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,520
We could do a lot of improvisations on that.

136
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,520
The constitution signs themselves being modified by humans again and again and again because

137
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:07,400
they are not trying to drive towards what model we are trying to achieve and so on and

138
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,960
so forth.

139
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:14,800
But coming back to leadership, if the concept is a leader, a well evolved concept is becomes

140
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:22,360
a leader, it removes the humanism out of it and it makes an idea which is can continue

141
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:27,920
for generations and it is yet it becomes a sustainable model because there is no one

142
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,480
person running the whole thing.

143
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:38,240
It becomes a decentralized structure of operation which is beneficial to all.

144
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:47,240
So my suggestion to you at the end of this is not to go after leadership like a power

145
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,720
trip, if you're trying to get to a power trip, it's just your ego and nothing more.

146
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:53,720
It's just as simple.

147
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,240
There's nothing to it.

148
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:01,240
You're just trying to validate yourself over and over again through the adoration of the

149
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,760
public, through the adoration of the collective, the social media and everybody else.

150
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,680
I want to be a leader.

151
00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:11,200
So immediately I want followers.

152
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,560
See the duality there.

153
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:15,560
If you want to be a leader, you're always asking for followers.

154
00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:16,800
How many likes did I get?

155
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,120
How many shares did I get?

156
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,600
How many this and that?

157
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,120
That's an ego trip.

158
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:28,240
But if it comes from a position of maturity, the leadership can transcend into how can

159
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,040
I share this better?

160
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:36,080
How can I make this organization more for each and every individual and for the collective?

161
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,280
Rarely is that found in corporate circles as you might imagine.

162
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:46,680
But we need to get to that spot and to get to that spot, we need to lose the hungering

163
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:48,680
after leadership itself.

164
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:55,360
Because remember, even in Vedic astrology, you can tell a person, read a person's chart

165
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,880
and you can tell that person is going to become a leader if he has a strong son or a son

166
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,560
nakshatra or a certain nakshatra.

167
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:05,160
Both in a sense are malefic in nature.

168
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:12,480
So both of them will hanker for either an egotistical, narcissistical approach to be

169
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:21,240
wanting adoration, sun perspective, wanting adoration, wanting validation of the ego from

170
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:27,280
the external, like a look at me approach or the satan which wants to rebel because they

171
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,840
have been denied that.

172
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,080
Satan has been denied justice.

173
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,480
It has been denied recognition.

174
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:40,080
It has been denied being taken care of, being nurtured, being protected.

175
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,080
It's the outcast.

176
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,800
The pattern is an outcast planet.

177
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:50,680
So it's the outcast energy which is floating around in the ancestral patterns of our humanity

178
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:53,320
which is now begging to be recalibrated.

179
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:58,640
Everybody wants to be recognized and social media is making it more powerful than ever.

180
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,080
Everybody wants to come forth, have one of the accounts in Instagram, Facebook, YouTube

181
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,880
and so on and so forth.

182
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,680
Everybody wants to speak their mind.

183
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:07,680
Everybody wants to troll.

184
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:12,080
It's a new term in social media not trolling.

185
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,880
Why is this, these are just power battles as I see going on.

186
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:23,200
The power of, I need to speak my idea first or I need to tell this person off or I need

187
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:28,520
to have my voice heard.

188
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,080
This is one of the aspects of satan.

189
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,480
The satan energy is going around a lot in the collective and we are in the phase of

190
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:43,280
transformation on the planet which is the Capricorn, recalibration of Capricorn.

191
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:50,760
If you go to my video on the global shift in consciousness phase we are in now.

192
00:12:50,760 --> 00:13:00,480
This is the period of recalibration of satan, the Pluto energy, working through the collective.

193
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:05,120
So it's the aspect where power itself is being recalibrated.

194
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:11,160
The sense of power, the sense of governance, the sense of who decides and who is the one

195
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,840
to obey, who is the master and who is the slave.

196
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,680
Is the institutions imposing power on the masses or is the masses having more power?

197
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:24,320
So there's a power battle going on everywhere in the collective and you can see it very

198
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,560
strongly in the collective.

199
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:32,760
Because we are in that phase and we are going to be in this phase till 2040 easily.

200
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,600
Because when Pluto will finish the journey through Capricorn and by the time we finish

201
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:43,520
2040 this whole phenomena of recalibration of power itself will take place both in the

202
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,280
personal and in the collective, both in the masses and in the government.

203
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,680
It will take place everywhere in all countries all across the planet.

204
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:53,200
That's the phase we are in.

205
00:13:53,200 --> 00:14:01,080
That's why I had the strong feeling to bring this video to you today.

206
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:07,200
Leadership is about first leading yourself into the place where you consider the things

207
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,480
that is this right enough to share?

208
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:15,760
Am I coming from on this whatever I'm about to share as a leader wherever you are if you're

209
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:22,360
watching this, is this the right thing to share and not coming place of my own personal

210
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:29,120
wounding or personal needs and desires and the need to feel validated, need to be having

211
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,080
an ego trip about things.

212
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:36,760
Is this coming from that place, a neutral place basically or is it coming from a place

213
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:42,160
where I just need to say this, I need to say this today.

214
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,280
I need to go out on the social media or go out on my YouTube channel or go out on my

215
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:52,040
company and in my meeting rooms and just blurt it out whatever it is going to come out of

216
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,040
my mouth.

217
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,400
I need to expose this wound of mine.

218
00:14:55,400 --> 00:15:01,440
I need to just throw my wounds around all over the place and expect people to cooperate.

219
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,360
Well, that's not the new energy.

220
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,040
The new energy and the planet will not allow such things.

221
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,840
This is going to reverberate back and forth through the individual to collective, through

222
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,480
their families, through the relationships.

223
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,280
It is doing it right now.

224
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,040
Even right now you can see it here in the middle of it.

225
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:24,560
We're in the beginning of the Capricorn phase which started in January 2021 but now through

226
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,960
this 2040, we will be seeing more and more and more shifts.

227
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:37,160
It's a tough tussle going on between the masses and the power structures.

228
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:42,440
All power structures will undergo recalibration and where would you come from?

229
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,120
What will be felt as authenticity?

230
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:53,880
What will be felt as authentic compassion, authentic practicality, authentic behavior

231
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,760
will be more than what you show off as what your title claims you to be.

232
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,960
You might be the leader of a country or you might be a bricklayer who's making that building

233
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,560
next to us.

234
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,800
It doesn't matter where you are.

235
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:12,320
It matters of how you see the human being, what is being shared and people will smell

236
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,640
the wounds.

237
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,760
People will smell it in their gut.

238
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,440
If this person is right or wrong, if this is appropriate thing to do for my land or

239
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,440
not.

240
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,720
Every single time this is going to be taken down.

241
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:32,160
The wise thing, my suggestion for you today and I'll leave you with this much is to recalibrate

242
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,800
your own sense of wounds.

243
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:39,880
First get rid of that and then whatever wisdom you do have will come to the forefront by

244
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,960
itself because there's nothing else to share.

245
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,920
If there's no need for me to collect something from the masses and need for attention, need

246
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:53,480
for blah blah blah then whatever comes out is on a level playing field.

247
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:59,160
We need to get to that place of level playing field first.

248
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:06,960
But it's not going to come about through wanting it through anger and whatever we talked about,

249
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,680
wanting it through feeling of low self-esteem.

250
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:16,720
These kind of power seeking games of sun and satan will not work in this new energies.

251
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,000
That's all I'll leave you with.

252
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:46,840
Have a nice day.
