It seems as though if leaders lead, and followers follow, everyone is in his right place, and we can experience harmony. Not everyone is called to be a leader, but if one is called, and one accepts, one also accepts a higher degree of responsibility than a follower. We need kings and queens, and advisors to kings and queens, and foot soldiers and all the rest. We need everyone to live the life they are called to live, and everything will fall into place if that life is being lived authentically. We will not lose our creativity, nor our individuality, nor our freedom if we are doing what we are supposed to be doing, when and where appropriate. We might slip back and forth between the majority and a tiny minority. We might be alone or with billions of others. I personally feel we should walk together with everyone we are aligned with insofar as, and only insofar as, we are still in alignment. I know this is a bit tangential to what you were saying, but I guess my point is that a lot of categories are not, and should not be construed as being hard and fast. I have been blessed with understandings that have come through some of my work with Amazonian medicines. A lot of these understandings are crystal clear in the moment of the experience, but very hard to put into words later, and exponentially harder to put into practice with others.
