Leadership does not come cheap; it is not every day that a world class leader emerges in a nation. Black Americans, for example, have been in the Americas (including the West Indies and Latin America) for five hundred years but you can count the number of real leaders they produced in your hands: Nat Turner, Frederick Douglas, Sourjouner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Booker T. Washington, W.E.B Dubios, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael. (Barack Obama is not a leader so we shall not include him.)
In Africa we have the following leaders: Nnamdi Azikiwe (Zik is mediocre), Jomo Kenyatta, Kwame Nkrumah, Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko.
In Europe we have the following leaders: Napoleon Bonaparte, Otto Von Bismarck, Winston Churchill, Adolf Hitler, V. I. Lenin and Joseph Stalin.
In white America we have the following leaders: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklyn Delano Roosevelt and a few others.
In Asia we had the following twentieth century leaders: Mao Tse Tung and Mahatma Gandhi.
In ancient History we had the following leaders: Alexander of Macedonia, Darius of Persia, Julius Caesar, Ganges Khan, Attila the Hun and a few others.
Thus, most people are not leaders and go through life accomplishing nothing. I should not blame people around me for not being leaders, for leaders do not come cheap; leave people to live their lives and die off.
If folks do not find the world meaningful and seek spiritual leadership then they go for it, for that is not taught, nor is it for me to teach it to them.
LEADERS TAKE THE WORLD SERIOUSLY
Leaders are generally those who take matter, physics and its ego seriously. There are spiritual leaders such as Buddha, Jesus Christ and Muhammad and those are every bit as important as secular leaders.
Teaching the people leadership science would not make them leaders, for very few persons are leaders, certainly very few are universal leaders.
There are small leaders in every vocation and work place but those do not count. If you see yourself as a leader in your profession or work place then go for it and make the small difference such leaders make; as for universal leaders those come to the world once every once in a while. Africa has not produced a universal leader ( secular or spiritual).
I am a spiritual leader that transcends this world; I am not a secular leader that helps people to adapt to the world of illusion.
PHYSICISTS TAKE PHYSICS SERIOUSLY
To be a physicist, chemist and biologist and physical scientist in general and engineer and business person you must take the physical world seriously enough to devote your life to studying how it works and operating in it.
As a school boy I loved physics, chemistry and biology and earth science (geology). Unfortunately, they described the phenomenal world and that world did not make sense to me. The phenomenal world seemed utterly meaningless and by my early twenties I was looking for meaning and thus abandoned the physical sciences (which I had enough information on to obtain graduate degrees in) and made a detour to psychology and philosophy, especially existentialism. Unfortunately if you want to make money you do not study philosophy and psychology; those have no demand, no market for them; the best place to be if you want money is the applied sciences (engineering and technology in general) and business (finance, accounting and marketing).
I lucked out for what interests me has no monetary value. One gotta do what makes sense to one or else one denies one’s true self and go insane.
America gave me every opportunity to find myself and make a killing (if I was in the applied sciences, such as medicine) but I found myself in what does not sell and lucked out. C’est la vie, such is life.
SPIRITUAL LEADERS DO NOT TAKE THE WORLD OF PHYSICS AND GOVERNMENT SERIOUSLY
If you want to transcend physics, nature then what is the point in studying it and its laws (as A course in miracles calls it, the laws of chaos and I call it the laws of madness)? You overlook physics and try to see if there is another world.
Spiritual leaders not finding the world meaningful generally do not do well in studying the world and flunk out of schools. Ramakrishna and other spiritual leaders did not find schooling that teach about physics to their liking and flunked out.
I am a leader in studying metaphysics; that is, whatever transcends physics. If my daughter, who appears to be like me, dropped out of school because she did not find the world meaningful then she should seek solace in spiritual laws rather than ignoring spirituality, as she has done.
