What Right Do These People Have To Touch This Unknown Thing?

Establish your position of leadership in your own life, giving value to the truths you want hidden.

The hangman’s scaffold is the accomplice. It devours. Swallows meat. Drinks blood. The scaffold is a sort of monster, forged by the judge and carpenter, a wraith that seems to live a terrible life, consisting only of the death it gave. Therefore, the impression was terrible and profound. The day after the execution, and many days after it, Bishop Myriel seemed overwhelmed. The almost unnatural serenity of the funeral moment was gone. The shadow of social justice followed him. He, who usually turned away from everything he was doing with such a boundless satisfaction, now seemed to make reprimands.

Sometimes he talked to himself, mumbling with half a voice lugubrious monologues. Here is one his sister heard and memorized:

"I never thought it would be so terrible. It is a mistake to sink so deeply into divine law, that we stop taking into account human laws. Only God can send us death. What right do these people have to touch this unknown thing?"

With time, these impressions weakened and most likely faded away. It was yet noticed that the Bishop was reluctant to pass through the executions market.*

In ascending to a superior level of excellence are you supported by an experience achieved in the shadow of your own thoughts marked by the validity of a currency that we can attach here as well: “respect for the consciousness of eternity”?

Beyond the simplicity of the wisdom the leader practices and promotes focused on an objective vision of reality, no matter how much we could admire him as an example of perfection that embodies what he has best in the construction of his identity, he would deserve more admiration as a thinker who gradually deciphers the world, tasting from the bitterness and moral loneliness of the times.

To have respect for the consciousness of eternity through the thoughts incarnated in the words of reality, placing every consequence of events in the direction of a soulful-spiritual process, is to keep that feeling of not letting things happen. It means filling your cup of affection towards the facts and experiences of men with the distinction between what is passing and what is Eternal, between the contingent and the Absolute, amid profound awareness and self-acceptance.

Only a long dialogue with your own soul, a path guided by the flame of liberty of conscience, constituted into a beneficial art of perpetuating the power of commit the good that turns towards himself, transforms the leader into a better man.

Many leaders are polished and maintained by a positive thinking, but somehow devoid of the sense of responsibility of the Ego, fueled only by observations, interpretations and analyzes of the events in which they participate. Without being supported on any experience achieved in inner peace, in meditation, in the shadow of their own thoughts of doubt, beyond the roles undertaken throughout life.

The greatness that defines a man full of holiness is the novel of a destiny that is fulfilled in the state of a relationship of dependence between regret and strength, but it reflects as a dramatic intersection between the consciousness of temporality and the consciousness of eternity.

The latter cannot cleanse themselves of the rust of self-ignorance. For them, leadership remains only a space of manifesting ascension to the area of the experimental and innovation, a possibility of articulating professional development, an embodiment of the object of activity. But, unconcerned by the double way, that of feeling and acceptance, they remain unprotected in the face of their consciousness that concerns the good or bad aspect of the hard truths they smash across and will not take into account.

To be able to make peace with all the hard truths of life, that you cannot ignore, you must, first of all, establish your position of leadership in your own life, monitoring the fight between the self, surrounding events, forged ideals and the assumed role. At times, you will have to lend an ear to truths and turn back from everything you commit with such a boundless satisfaction, to deny your responsibility towards your own experiences, unable to enjoy the power that is rightfully yours.

Are you willing to fail as a man who loves his being, considering the guidance of your thoughts and feelings as an outward manifestation of a divinity that has abandoned its creation?

In this regard, I can remember the words of John Fuhrman, the founder of the Frame of Mind company: "Nothing can stop our ascension, only if we leave events to control our lives and consider them barometers by which we appreciate our future efforts. Smile when you are facing a new beginning – because you are."

If you are not willing to fail as a man who lives his being, you will never be well enough defended in the face of what you know is true. To accept what happens to you in life, what happens around you, is more than simply "recognizing" or "admitting". It is a necessity of personal success.

A man who fails to love his being is a man who has known loneliness rather than peace, and who chose to focus on soul activity, a man who, when looking back, has many regrets, many untold things, not being clear why God allowed for so many indignities and bad things to happen in the world.

The leader is often such a man, but who never allows himself to be subjugated by the necessity of being the architect of a becoming oriented towards pleasure or pain, rather only towards authentic values.

Some have accredited the cursory opinion that, in fact, the leader is a collection of capabilities and features that were valued at one point. But, if we consider the words of Romanian writer Nicolae Iorga, namely: "The first condition of happiness is peace of mind", then, the leader becomes the end product of various stages of recovery towards the self, in terms of a conventional withdrawal from the professional environment.

A divinity that has abandoned its creation refers to the way of living a life that can only be understood by a detachment from the self, a willing abandonment of a reality that goes beyond man’s ability to understand and to be able change something in it.

What Right Do These People Have To Touch This Unknown Thing? Is a question the leader who tries to reinvent himself tries to answer, taking into account everything that has an impact on life and social interactions, on peoples’ way of thinking, influencing them either in a good or bad way.

It also aims at the attitude of the leader to himself by adopting a specific model, of an unassailable and unanimously accepted socially referential.
