Given this is campaign season, I’ve often thought what this world would be like if we had individuals who engaged in public service that were whole, enlightened, or had reached a Shen Life. Super-humans! Would society be ready for this? Could these folks really govern given that almost no one else is a Super-human? It’s obvious that those running for office pander to the electorate for personal gain. Yet, sometimes I feel they do it because the peeps simply can’t handle the truth! They are like children who aren’t ready to grow up. So, given the present state of consciousness of most of the electorate, can a Super-human govern in this social climate?
What are your thoughts Shen Life practitioners?
I would love to see holistic-minded people in office. The country needs to grow up and we need leaders who will force us to do that. The spoiled children in our culture are not capable of maintaining what their parents built. I like the blogs btw
I think that the political leaders we have now is a direct reflection or the product of where the general consciousness of the population is. Perhaps when the consciousness of a significant number of the human population evolves to a higher state then that in itself will bring out the super human leaders. We do get what we deserve. It’s a mess. But at the same time, it’s only thru this mess that heroic characters rise out of, I believe. In hinduism/buddhism they believe that there are beings that live in heaven-like realms, but they cannot become fully enlightened there. They have to become human and exist in this mess in order for these beings to even have a chance at becoming enlightened!
