\[ The Rights And Powers Of Leaders ]/ Any road followed precisly to it's end leads nowhere. Climb the mountain to test that it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain. What of the harmonics inherent in the act of prophecy? Does the prophet see the future or does he see a line of weakness, a fault or cleavage that he may shatter with words or decisions as a diamond-cutter shatters his gem with a blow of a knife?   Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic. You cannot avoid the interplay of politics within an orthodox religon. This power struggle permits the training, educating and disciplining of the orthodox community. Because of this pressure, the leaders of such commonly inevitably must face that ultimate internal question: to succumb to complete opportunism as the price of maintaining their rule, or risk sacrificing themselves for the sake of the orthodox ethic. "The eye that looks ahead to the safe course is closed forever." Much that was called religon has carried an unconscious attitude of hostility toward life. True religon must teach that knowledge without action is empty, and that that all things are created equal. The proper teaching is regonized with ease. You can know it without fail because it awakens within you that sensation which tells you this is something you've already known.
