Any leaders seeking followers out there?
Maybe. I'd like to share my experiences, perhaps write.
That is a difficult question. I am an escape artist. I can preach freedom. I have become good at escaping, but sometimes escaping is like leaving the planet. What is the point in leading other people out into airless space? There has to be somewhere for them to go to.
So - whose arms of flesh does everyone here lean on, and why? or is anyone prideful enough, or honest enough to admit leaning unto their own understanding?
I absolutely am prideful enough and have done it, but I couldn't have done it without help.
I see the need but am too small for the task. I once thought I could turn my canoe with an oar, but then I found it was not a canoe but a tanker. My oar couldn't even reach the water. I would lead and would drag this tanker covered with people, but it would drag me instead. I have the belief that I have the right way, but I don't believe I have the strength.
Lean not unto thine own understanding, lean only on the understanding of others.
Lean only unto thine own understanding when deciding what other arms of flesh to lean upon.
Too scary. People expect you behave in a pattern that suits them. If you are the slightest bit misaligned they will peck you to death. They do it instinctively out of self preservation. Some can't even function outside of a pack, but in a pack they can think. Its like their soul cannot be on its own. Leaning on others is Ok when you can align, but when can't align it is unsafe.
