Could it be that most of us have no idea how to live within a tribe?
I think a lot of people have no clue what it would be like to live in a tribe. All they know for sure that they are not happy in their current circumstances, following the life as a slave to governments and not really knowing how to break the bonds.
I had no mentors at the beginning of my journey. All I knew is I knew is I had to change in order to survive. Mentors came unexpectedly later in my journey. I am grateful for their presence and guidance.
To be blunt, most men do not live in peace as their very jobs and mind set are working within a colonial protocol that is governed using principles of war and conquest.
Leadership within a tribe is not a top down, hierarchical structure like some corporate or government organizational chart. Tribal leadership is a very flat organization where leadership is through example.
It has been long ingrained into men to lead, but that is changing in my world. Men are learning to accept the divine feminine. They are coming to understand this is more peaceful, non-violent ways to solve problems. They are more willing to discuss and accept suggestions from the divine feminine. They are showing a willing willingness to work together towards a common goal.
True tribe requires that each and every single one of us do the work to heal so that we can hold the space of what tribe really means.
We have made a start. but we have a long way to go. We make life peaceful and normal within the compound and I can see the difference in the people but more so in the children. It will takes years but they are willing to learn. They have made the conscious decision to change their way of life. Living under oppression and tyranny is no longer acceptable.
Check your false ego at the door because it has no place within the realms of being an elder or a tribe member.
Applies to everyone not only those who wish to be recognized as elders. There is no place for egos in a peaceful coexistence between the divine masculine and the divine feminine.
Do you want to be an elder? Then you have a lot of work to do to earn the respect, honour and support of all the tribe members.
With great respect and honour comes a great responsibility to support all the tribe members. I don’t think being an elder is something you strive for. What you should be striving for is an understanding and equality between the divine masculine and the divine feminine, living in peace and harmony within the tribe.
