Good morning ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Progressive.
This series, this particular one, we will talk about leadership and why personal leadership
or leadership in corporate governance or in political structures that we have or institutions
are nothing more than an ego trip.
Now this is not meant to trigger any one of you, although it might.
But let us examine the aspects of leadership and why people are so hungry and putting out
memes and forwards and this one is a great leader and that one was a great leader and
people wanting leadership and followers all the time even on social media.
Hunger for followers, hunger for appreciation, hunger for being looked at, reinforcing the
ego.
Why do people want so much of ego trips all the time you might ask?
Well, first let us examine how leadership itself, if a person is hungering for it,
if a person is hankering for leadership, what is the need for that?
Well, it can come from two places.
Number one, it can come from a place of wounding.
It can come from a place of not being validated as a child, not being seen as a child or feeling
insufficient, low self-worth.
So when any human being is put down as a child, they will start craving for leadership when
they are grown up because they want to go for it from a place of fulfilling that void
in themselves by seeking appreciation, seeking power, the sense of power and ego fulfillment
from the external world, be it whatever institutions or whatever work they want to pursue.
So it is like chasing a high.
You are essentially chasing a high where you want appreciation all the time from the collective
or from any institution or from any company that you are working in.
So leadership and the people who go after leadership in this form and fashion in the
way it is just to get appreciation.
It is just to be validated.
It is just to feel like this is who I am.
This is my title or this is my position.
I am an engineer.
I am a this.
I am a doctor.
I am a lawyer.
I am a manager.
Big thing among Indians is always everybody wanting to be managers or I am a CEO.
All these titles that we get on running after titles per se doesn't really constitute a
leadership that becomes a power trip that becomes an ego trip.
It's nothing more than you seeking validation for something which is lacking in you to begin
with.
Technically, there is nothing lacking.
There is nothing lacking in anyone for that matter, but it's the seeking and the drive
with which you go out with.
Now what drive are we going out with here?
We are going out with anger.
We are going out with resentment.
That's the energy that the ego wants going out with aggression.
If you want to talk in terms of Vedic Astrology perspective, it will be like Saturn kind of
energy.
Saturn is a rebel wherever Saturn appears.
Saturn ruled.
Naksatras are all rebels or Sun ruled.
Naksatras are all about ego.
So if you see, you know, most of the leadership should take their charts and analyze for a
second.
They will have powerful Sun and powerful Saturn in their positions, both of which are two extremities
of seeking leadership.
The Sun wants to seek leadership from focus on oneself.
Look at me.
Kind of an ego.
Saturn wants to do it by rebelling against the system and saying, this is not okay.
That is not okay.
I was not treated properly as a kid.
I was denied all the promotions or for my hard work, not appreciated.
That's Saturn.
So even if you analyze it from a Vedic Astrology perspective, there is this energy of leadership
being coming from a place of lack of feeling the lack of sense of self, a self that has
not matured enough to say, I want to go out there and teach and contribute, but rather
to take the sense of adoration and appreciation from everybody else.
Now, if you even go back from a historical perspective, if you go back in time, even
the greatest of kings, emperors, empires that have come and gone and managed to the
retracer all over the earth, they were all ruled by very egotistical leaders.
They were highly narcissistic, highly violent.
Remember, the violence comes from that perspective because you are going out to begin with, you
are going out with an aggressive energy.
Get the energy of that.
You are going out with an aggressive energy.
You want to fulfill something.
You want to get something.
See how low consciousness, all these energies really are.
You are trying to derive something from the collective when in fact, there is nothing
that anybody can give you, doesn't matter how adored you are.
It doesn't matter if you are even a dictator of a country.
It doesn't really work, isn't it?
They just come and go.
They are as mortal as the rest of us.
Death is a great equalizer of all of these things.
You see, even the mortal remains of any dead great leader or dictator or president or a
prime minister of any country.
What you are seeing is just flesh and bones.
The threat death is a great equalizer in all these things.
If you evaluate it from a death perspective, there is nothing to be gained or nothing to
be lost even in terms of leadership or in terms of power.
Going after it from a conscious perspective, a conscious individual and aware individual
would never try such things.
Simple.
They would never try such things.
A mature person, a truly mature person who can look inside and say, okay, where does
this need for me come from?
What am I going in for in all these positions of power that I am seeking?
What part of me is getting fed from all of this?
That will be a good place for leaders to start.
That's one thing.
Secondly, from a progressive society point of view, from the higher evolution of the
society point of view, it doesn't work as well.
It won't serve any meaning because we are trying to and moving towards a flat structure
of a society.
When we say flat structure of a society, it is not top down.
It is not a pyramidal structure.
It is not hierarchy.
How can we get to a non-hierarchical form of society or evolution?
Well, in that case, the concept itself becomes a leader.
The concept and ideas that we all produce or individually agree on becomes the leader
rather than a human being.
Because the human being, if you put them in any position, that position tends to occupy
a sense of needing an ego validation, needing a validation of some kind.
Whether it should be my ego or it should be my personality or it should be my family or
it should be my lineage and yada yada yada.
It goes on and on.
The endless needs of the mind or the manas as it is called in Vedic astrology is endless.
If you try to put a person or a human being in charge of a leadership, it's always going
to fail.
That's how all these systems of even governance have failed through time, through civilizations.
It is because you put the human being there and you never know who the next human being
is going to come and fill up and what their cravings are, what they think is the right
race or they start claiming ours is a superior race and theirs is an inferior race and all
this rubbish that has gone on, you know what I'm talking about.
Just go through history.
So all these BS will keep coming on and on if you don't lose the human out of the, keep
the human out of the picture and put the concept on top.
The concept if is there, if it's just an idea we're working with, that's what we try to
do with the idea of constitution in democratic countries.
The constitution is what we go by.
Well, the constitution is not being very specific.
We could do a lot of improvisations on that.
The constitution signs themselves being modified by humans again and again and again because
they are not trying to drive towards what model we are trying to achieve and so on and
so forth.
But coming back to leadership, if the concept is a leader, a well evolved concept is becomes
a leader, it removes the humanism out of it and it makes an idea which is can continue
for generations and it is yet it becomes a sustainable model because there is no one
person running the whole thing.
It becomes a decentralized structure of operation which is beneficial to all.
So my suggestion to you at the end of this is not to go after leadership like a power
trip, if you're trying to get to a power trip, it's just your ego and nothing more.
It's just as simple.
There's nothing to it.
You're just trying to validate yourself over and over again through the adoration of the
public, through the adoration of the collective, the social media and everybody else.
I want to be a leader.
So immediately I want followers.
See the duality there.
If you want to be a leader, you're always asking for followers.
How many likes did I get?
How many shares did I get?
How many this and that?
That's an ego trip.
But if it comes from a position of maturity, the leadership can transcend into how can
I share this better?
How can I make this organization more for each and every individual and for the collective?
Rarely is that found in corporate circles as you might imagine.
But we need to get to that spot and to get to that spot, we need to lose the hungering
after leadership itself.
Because remember, even in Vedic astrology, you can tell a person, read a person's chart
and you can tell that person is going to become a leader if he has a strong son or a son
nakshatra or a certain nakshatra.
Both in a sense are malefic in nature.
So both of them will hanker for either an egotistical, narcissistical approach to be
wanting adoration, sun perspective, wanting adoration, wanting validation of the ego from
the external, like a look at me approach or the satan which wants to rebel because they
have been denied that.
Satan has been denied justice.
It has been denied recognition.
It has been denied being taken care of, being nurtured, being protected.
It's the outcast.
The pattern is an outcast planet.
So it's the outcast energy which is floating around in the ancestral patterns of our humanity
which is now begging to be recalibrated.
Everybody wants to be recognized and social media is making it more powerful than ever.
Everybody wants to come forth, have one of the accounts in Instagram, Facebook, YouTube
and so on and so forth.
Everybody wants to speak their mind.
Everybody wants to troll.
It's a new term in social media not trolling.
Why is this, these are just power battles as I see going on.
The power of, I need to speak my idea first or I need to tell this person off or I need
to have my voice heard.
This is one of the aspects of satan.
The satan energy is going around a lot in the collective and we are in the phase of
transformation on the planet which is the Capricorn, recalibration of Capricorn.
If you go to my video on the global shift in consciousness phase we are in now.
This is the period of recalibration of satan, the Pluto energy, working through the collective.
So it's the aspect where power itself is being recalibrated.
The sense of power, the sense of governance, the sense of who decides and who is the one
to obey, who is the master and who is the slave.
Is the institutions imposing power on the masses or is the masses having more power?
So there's a power battle going on everywhere in the collective and you can see it very
strongly in the collective.
Because we are in that phase and we are going to be in this phase till 2040 easily.
Because when Pluto will finish the journey through Capricorn and by the time we finish
2040 this whole phenomena of recalibration of power itself will take place both in the
personal and in the collective, both in the masses and in the government.
It will take place everywhere in all countries all across the planet.
That's the phase we are in.
That's why I had the strong feeling to bring this video to you today.
Leadership is about first leading yourself into the place where you consider the things
that is this right enough to share?
Am I coming from on this whatever I'm about to share as a leader wherever you are if you're
watching this, is this the right thing to share and not coming place of my own personal
wounding or personal needs and desires and the need to feel validated, need to be having
an ego trip about things.
Is this coming from that place, a neutral place basically or is it coming from a place
where I just need to say this, I need to say this today.
I need to go out on the social media or go out on my YouTube channel or go out on my
company and in my meeting rooms and just blurt it out whatever it is going to come out of
my mouth.
I need to expose this wound of mine.
I need to just throw my wounds around all over the place and expect people to cooperate.
Well, that's not the new energy.
The new energy and the planet will not allow such things.
This is going to reverberate back and forth through the individual to collective, through
their families, through the relationships.
It is doing it right now.
Even right now you can see it here in the middle of it.
We're in the beginning of the Capricorn phase which started in January 2021 but now through
this 2040, we will be seeing more and more and more shifts.
It's a tough tussle going on between the masses and the power structures.
All power structures will undergo recalibration and where would you come from?
What will be felt as authenticity?
What will be felt as authentic compassion, authentic practicality, authentic behavior
will be more than what you show off as what your title claims you to be.
You might be the leader of a country or you might be a bricklayer who's making that building
next to us.
It doesn't matter where you are.
It matters of how you see the human being, what is being shared and people will smell
the wounds.
People will smell it in their gut.
If this person is right or wrong, if this is appropriate thing to do for my land or
not.
Every single time this is going to be taken down.
The wise thing, my suggestion for you today and I'll leave you with this much is to recalibrate
your own sense of wounds.
First get rid of that and then whatever wisdom you do have will come to the forefront by
itself because there's nothing else to share.
If there's no need for me to collect something from the masses and need for attention, need
for blah blah blah then whatever comes out is on a level playing field.
We need to get to that place of level playing field first.
But it's not going to come about through wanting it through anger and whatever we talked about,
wanting it through feeling of low self-esteem.
These kind of power seeking games of sun and satan will not work in this new energies.
That's all I'll leave you with.
Have a nice day.
