"As we see in the valuable book, “Leadership from the Inside Out.” Leadership is ultimately rooted in authenticity and the ability for a leader to tap their inner “Core.” In trying to be everything to everybody, a leader ultimately ends up being nothing to nobody. What this means is that the greatest source of leadership rests on the individual’s uniqueness and self realization/expression. This “Soul” of the leader is the real axis of sustainable leadership."
This has been a problem i've had in my camp.. in trying to be accessible to a broad range of seekers and mystics.. i feel i have not really stood for what i really believe in and value decreasing my efficacy as a leader.
This year I'm trying to learn some confidence to be who I am and stand for what is stand for.
Addiction to ecstatic states and escapism from dealing with real world problems.
Lack of integration with shadow
Substance Addiction
Focus on trapping of spirituality instead of practice
Limitless Expansion (Fear of Restraint/Discipline)
Conflating of mystical concepts from many sources becoming one jumbled inaccurate loosey goosey gumbo of nonsense
Lack of authenticity/too much fronting/posing/superficial representational focus.
Lack of intentional long-term goal directed effort capacity
Lack of willingness to do the dirty/real/uncomfortable work of community making.
These are all things i've seen over my years exploring the west coast tribal movement (not necessarily my camp though occasionally someone starts speaking and garbled mumbo from the secret comes out and I want to throw up!!).. not everyone has all of them but these are some of the criticisms i have of the overall community i'm still figuring out how to participate in.
