Let us imagine a group of 12 people setting off on an excursion into the desert. Within this group, there is 1 person who is foresighted, who will take everything necessary: a large stock of water and provisions, means of protection from the sun, maps, a compass, jerrycans of fuel.
Then there are 11 people who will allow themselves to be guided, placing their trust “in others” (the travel agency, their guide, the State) to do everything necessary on their behalf: to plan what is needed, to organize things, to handle all the logistics, to chart the course…
A problem arises: the van breaks down, there is an accident, or the group gets lost. What will happen ?
Well, there is a strong likelihood that the 11 unprepared individuals will complain that “the others” did not do their job properly, that it will be so-and-so’s fault if things are not as they should be (never, obviously, the fault of their own lack of foresight), and that naturally, the company, the insurer, the State, or yet again “others”, must come to their aid…
And there is also a strong likelihood that the foresighted person will be swarmed and literally stripped of their provisions, their water, their survival gear, by individuals who are either stronger or more cunning; they will have no scruples about appropriating the other’s qualities of preparedness, if events unfold in a heightened survival context ! (Human nature has always been this way)
Where am I going with this metaphor ? Well, I truly see an enormous number of people who exist in a state of waiting and reliance upon others, either out of naivety, placing blind trust, or out of passivity, consciously remaining in the mindset of being followers, probably telling themselves that the herd is more comfortable, deep down, for various reasons…
But all of this invariably has limits, and life very often takes it upon itself to show them to us !
Often through force of circumstance and fate, and often in a moment of awareness that can be extremely violent…
If I return to my example: if we had a distribution of merely 6 well-prepared individuals instead of just one, that could drastically change the equation !
We increase the resilience and strength of the entire group !
We can save time, avoid conflicts, improve overall organization and strategy…
Extrapolate this to the scale of a society, and you truly obtain another face of the collective !
More mature, more effective and powerful, more autonomous, more independent, and with greater cohesion…
Beyond this, what I wish to convey is: truly be a locomotive for yourself and your loved ones; think for them and act accordingly; do not wait for “others”; do not rely on chance or rest upon “what you believe to be logical” without ever having verified it… so verify everything for yourself !
These are elements that are truly so important, and yet still so rarely taken into account and acted upon in our modern society, which has “anesthetized” so many people.
We see this regularly in major catastrophes; the examples are numerous and, unfortunately, not lacking…
We need one another; this is a fact. We see it astrologically and psychologically through the Projections we allow ourselves…
And it is truly very important to become more “conscious” of the social image we project, to take responsibility, even with regard to the place we wish to occupy in society, or the development we wish to give to the collective, to the future.
It is always a notion of duality: Rights but also Duties (one does not go without the other), or as I stated in another article, of Taking but also of knowing how to Give, without which there is no exchange ! The trust we then place in the other will only be more beautiful for it…
In other words, we must learn to fish, even if we have deficiencies in the elemental energy of Fire, or at the level of Saturnian values.
This is truly an important avenue of reflection for our entire society of tomorrow…
The point here is not necessarily to be a charismatic leader for the entire group, but first and foremost to become aware of what one can do, at one’s own modest level, to avoid as much suffering as possible…
