The Difference between Rulers and Leaders

Last week I wrote an extensive essay on the political blindfold most of us wear, and touched on the notion of Rulers and Leaders. To refresh your memory: rulers are the ones enforcing their vision (visible or not visible), and leaders share their vision. At the moment, the planet is ruled, and we have lost our sense of what a leader really is. We are trapped in the primate mindset where we look for an alpha-male to rule us, in stead of a spiritual being (not religious) leading us to the light.

Here are the differences between Rulers and Leaders:

Rulers__________________________ Leaders

Loud_____________________________Soft spoken
Bad listeners_______________________Good listeners
Swings fist while speaks_______________ Touches lovingly
Talks of 'victory'____________________Talks of harmony
Competitive________________________Collaborative
Actions lead to destruction_____________ Actions lead to harmonic construction
Actions lead to despair_________________Actions lead to happiness and healing
Warmonger________________________Peacemaker
Discriminative_______________________Incorporate
Vengeful __________________________Forgiving
Xenophobic_________________________Non-xenophobic
Racist____________________________Non-racist
Gives speeches from 'above' _____________Talks to his/ her people on same level
Talks from teleprompter _______________Talks from the heart
Keeps secrets________________________Shares secrets
Abuses religion______________________ Uses spirituality
Deceives____________________________Enlightens
Fundamental________________________ Integrative
Arrogant____________________________Modest

Look past the rulers, ans search for your leaders...
