First of all, I do not wish to be a leader. First: I wish to be a follower. What star, then, am I following? I aim to follow what I will call the divine star. The divine star stands for all that is glorious in creation, for what is unfolding, the best that is yet to come: it is potential in a nutshell.
The Christians among us will recognise the language Thy will be done: what is thy will? And what is thy will in each situation? Without attempting to sense thy will, asking for thy will to be done is a pious hope. Great spiritual leaders sense the divine will. Their only wish is to be in accord with it.
Let me go further and say that all leaders, certainly all great leaders, must be followers. What is it that they are following? They are following their vision. They see how things are not. They see how things can be, and they set off in that direction.
A great leader who is not following such a vision is merely contemplating, getting ready for the off. That leader may be waiting for the vision to come. But a leader who is leading others who does not have such a vision is bereft, and may lead their followers onto the rocks.
Get your vision. And if you haven’t yet got a vision, what are you waiting for?

Love is all around you
Can you get it? Love is all around you. It always was, is and shall be, and the only blockage was ... well, you and me. We tap into it sometimes because it is there waiting for us. What an extraordinary experience this being thing is. It's searching, searching for something, searching for love.
What else were you looking for?
And the love is in you. Look for it there, and there you will find it. And the love is all around you, let is launch itself upon you, ravishing your heart, as it would. It's waiting, waiting, right there.

Thy will be done
So the wish is that thy will be done. And this will transcends one's own will. It provides shape and circumstance to life, blessing one's being with glorious moments. It is provenance. It is leadership and it is being led, separation ends here.
Everything shifts from the self to the Self.
You can taste the difference. When your wish is to align your will with the divine will there is an endless stream of opportunities, and all of them are so aligned. There is so much, then, not to worry about. It is in the here and now, it is the here and now, it sustains everything; the all-in-all.

Really happening
So this is really happening, right? Really happening. For a short while anyway. And yet it feels like it is happening again and again, same old, same old. Have I come to this point before? How could I know?
Yet there is the strongest feeling that there is something that I don't know and that this whole thing is deeply familiar. A remembrance of things past, lived again. Half-experienced skirmishes with being.
To what end? To no end. Some kind of giant circle. A spiral to nowhere. As I say, this is really happening, right?
