     Within  healthy friendships,   marriages,   families,
work-places, organizations, cities, states and nations ---
people  TAKE TURNS in playing leadership roles  ---   both
formally  and informally.    Where there are no  respected
patterns  of leadership cycles ---  there are patterns  of
personal and communal disintegrations.                    
                                                          
     Both unlimited control/domination and unlimited      
submission/obedience are likely to lead to the development
of tragic patterns of personal & communal disintegrations.
It is important to work together in cooperative ways which
assure mutuality and respect built upon appropriate forms 
of reverence, and ceremonial expressions of reverence.    
                                                          
     We can get past our inclinations to say NO --- only  
as we work together in cooperative ways to mitigate our   
various kinds of fears, anxieties and doubts; so we can   
say YES together.  That will not happen so long as there  
are many of us  trying to play  the roles of kings/queens 
--- presumably appointed by God; and/or there are many of 
us wishing to be the favored servants of kings/queens --- 
presumably appointed by God to rule over us.              
                                                          
     We all need to transcend the assumptions, attitudes  
and patterns of belief --- which go with the notion that  
most power can be helpfully concentrated into the hands of
very few assertive/powerful people --- without there being
healthy cycles in who plays what leadership roles.  As    
time  passes and there are inevitable changes  within  and
around  us.   Our relationships and our environments  call
upon  us to take turns in how we play formal and  informal
leadership roles in our: friendships, marriages, families,
work-places, organizations, cities, states and nations ---
within Space Ship Earth.
