Right now I’m meditating on and mourning the death of the
King of Thailand. I have a profound
respect for this man and how he has conducted his extraordinary reign over the
spiritual epicenter of the world. His
was a spiritual leadership and he is loved by Thai people for many good
reasons. But his impact goes deeper than
what can be reported in the news, and it’s this deeper leadership I am
contemplating at the moment.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for the King of
Thailand, and hold him in far higher regard than any US President. Thinking about the contrast between spiritual
leadership and what passes for leadership in the US only magnifies the fatal
flaws in our Western system.
But now is the moment to move past anger and disappointment
with the flawed structures in government and society and connect with that
deeper truth. There is a spiritual
leader in each of us, and for most of us it’s deeply repressed, maybe barely
alive. But it’s there.
My job is to awaken that spiritual leadership – starting with
myself.
The time of complaining about the false spiritual leadership
in the world is over. It is time to access and shine forth my own light,
regardless of what others are doing. It is time to nurture that king inside me
and bring that energy forth into the world.
To shine my light, to awaken this in others. To call forth the world I want to see.
So I’m using this moment as my personal calling – to connect
with my truth, follow my heart, and awaken the spiritual leadership this world
needs.
