Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Spiritual Leadership and Service by Dr Stone Many begin serving before achieving wholeness or being right with self and right with GOD, which leads to improper outward service ultimately and/or depletion of one's energies. Let one's first service be achieving integration on the path of ascension. True service can begin after one takes the third initiation if the psychological self is properly integrated. Spiritual leadership can begin in the same sequence. It must be understood, however, that one cannot become a spiritual leader for others until one has attained leadership over self. This is called self leadership. One must become the captain of one's own ship, so to speak. For a more in depth look at the subject of spiritual leadership, please refer to Manual for Planetary Leadership in my series of books called " The Easy to Read Encyclopedia of the Spiritual Path." One wants to support the needs of humanity and one's brothers and sisters upon all levels possible. Yet, as was discussed in the section dealing with the negative ego quotient, one does not want to be invasive. One wants to serve the highest good of all kingdoms upon the planet, and yet one does not want to invade another's free will or circumvent valuable lessons. What one must therefore seek to achieve can best be described as helping to meet the essential needs of all whenever possible, and being there in a gentle manner, much like that of a guardian angel who acts when called upon but is otherwise completely respective of a person's own free will. Now this does not exclude us from offering our suggestions in a most respectful manner, for those with greater vision can help their brothers and sisters learn much from grace rather than from karma. Yet, if one is too heavy handed in this regard one will be inadvertently creating more karma which must then eventually be overcome. The balance, beloved readers and fellow servers, is indeed a delicate one. The best way to know how to proceed is to consult with your own oversoul and Monad, and to communicate with GOD and the Masters. As you can see, spiritual leadership is intricately interwoven with service. Because they are so intertwined they fall under the same category of quotient building. The best way to lead is by example. That is why it has been stressed so adamantly that each must first learn to both serve and lead within one's self. This is also the reason that it is imperative that one ultimately find their ascension mission and truly embrace their own unique puzzle piece. One cannot build their quotient in this area or be effective servers or leaders if one is coming from a place of dishonesty within oneself.
