We have to have enough integrity, as would be members of a community, to accept our obligation to work honestly, within a responsible leadership, and training model, such as it was with good old mom and dad, who were our first leaders, and our first trainers.
We need someone, who may not have been elected, once again, just like mom and dad, but who just got saddled with the job, and so must be respected, because you don't really get to choose any of your real leaders, as it might be, in the real world, just like it was with good old mom and dad, who were not trained or experts at parenting, and they were certainly not elected.
They did not have to qualify, or get elected, in any way, even though it is a great pleasure, not to serve you, but to practice ones Art and Craft of Living, which is the true joy of parenting.
But we do need to become willing to relate honestly with someone, who has some of the basic skills, and who should have the deepest respect of the group, whether anybody even likes them or not, for their unwillingness to waver, if you can believe that, because we all know that a lot of children hate their parents, so we cannot allow the children to dismiss the parents at will, the way we do with presidents who may have multiple sexual partners, even if they are completely unconventional wildcats who do not conform to the very strict guidelines set by society in the distant past.
We need somebody who is empowered by the others, without having to beg them for it, who can throw some goodies and freebies around, as part of the training and leadership process, and that does require some of the groups power of the purse, and even worse, to have the support of the group, because they are the ones who will be happily paying for it all, as the world burns. And this is what irks them terribly. This causes a lot of deep shame and humiliation, but that needs to be dealt with and not covered up or resisted. We should probably try to use Non Violent Communication for that.
This is just in order to have the resources and support available to one, or ones, who are for whatever reason going to have to be saddled with these kinds of dirty rotten jobs, much like the parents of small children, usually just because they are the ones who have been foolish enough to have taken these responsibilities onto themselves, because of their passion, and their love, just like it is with some of these younger parents, who are the ones who made the babies to begin with, and so the rest of the people will actually have to use some slightly brutal mob control power over the individual, when necessary, just to enforce the idea that those who have created the children, should be the ones who have to do all the dirty work, and to feed them, and train them, to get them prepared to join in with community life, as responsible members of the community, who can be counted on, so the rest of us don't have to go chasing after them, because they have sponsorship, whether the parents like that or not.
It does take power and that means the empowerment of the Trainers, or the Leaders, or the Parents, or the Teachers, or the Accountants, or the Guardians of Doom, or whatever it is, just in order be able to force the development of honor and dignity, in some of those, who may have none to speak of just yet, sometimes due to no fault of their own, but that is not to their credit, either, and so that cannot be drawn upon, which may come as a big surprise, to some of the all too many, that there will be any kind of precise accounting, who may have never thought through many of these things, but they do not want to admit that yet, so we will all have to support our leadership, to make these distinctions clear, and we can start by enforcing honorable behavior, as it should be right here in this group.
There would have to be real consequences, in any normal Tribe. Why the People out there on main street might have thought there would be no consequences in the community is something that needs to be looked at, by the Tribal Council.
- It is not about Popularity. And it is not all just a matter of Opinion. And it is not just about Posing, as a Man of the People. It doesn't matter if the people don't like you, or if you would lead them precisely where they want to go, or if you would take them to an entirely different location, because they have to take responsibility for your input being substantial. All this other stuff is about Evasion of Truth, and Escape from Reality.
- The Need Card must be disabled as well. That is not a valid card. You cannot buy anything with that. We will not give you credit for that. This is where we must begin, with all these New People, who have a long way to go, most of them, and especially when they will not follow eagerly, and with great enthusiasm.
And if they will follow, then Yes, they can go there. But if they will not follow, then No, they cannot go there, because Every Tribe is a Private Tribe. But the rest of us can go there, both those who have gone through the process, and those who have set up the process.
This is the kind of material we get off on in the Tribe. We do not try to evade and resist. - T
