The differences between collective and individual leaderships
"Ra on which of the three G to Throat role-leaders he’d want to lead him in a survival scenario, and why."
"So, what we're dealing with here with the 8/1 is a role of unique expression. And unique expression that is doing the best that it can to get your attention and change your perspective on the nature of the world. This is the 8th gate and its voice says “I know I can make a contribution, I know that I can make a contribution, I know that there is this way”.
Many years ago I was first trying to layout channel knowledge, a longtime time ago. I used to tell a story about plane crash. You have a plane that takes off, oh let's say somewhere in Miami, and it has engine failure and it manages to make a crash landing in a swamp. Everybody survives, it‘s a nice story. Everybody survives, but there are minor injuries and they‘re lost and they‘re in the middle of the swamp and there are alligators and mosquitoes.
And here we have these forces that are here to express the role.
So, the first one, of course, is The Alpha (31-7) , it's the first one. And The Alpha says, “Well, I was looking out the window and I saw that the plane took a strange angle. And I was very curious about that and I took a look on my map and it seemed to me that something was wrong” and so forth and so on. There's The Alpha saying, “I think that we actually flew for about 17 minutes and we landed north northwest of where we took off, so, if we turn around in this direction, we‘ll all safely be able to go back home.” That‘s The Alpha.
The Prodigal (13-33) is just experiential. It's just experiential. So everything for The Prodigal is based on past experience.
And then of course, there's the 8-1. And it says, “I know how to get out of here”. And it doesn't give you any reason. It doesn't do an Alpha logic. It doesn't do The Prodigal; “Well, I‘ve been in these situations before and I know how to handle things.“
No, no, the 8-1 just says, “I know how to get out of here.” And because they cannot explain, the Alpha looks at them and says “Well, how do you know how to get out of here.?”. The 8 says, “I have a feeling, I‘ve got a hunch, I got an intuition.” whatever the case may be.
The Alpha (31) looks at that and says to the people there, “He doesn‘t know what he‘s talking about. He‘s going to get lost out there and is going to get eaten by alligators. The future is frightening.”
And The Prodigal says, “Look, look, I know how to handle these things, I've been in these situations before.”
So, the 8 tries one more time; “I really do know.” And they turn around and they leave. They‘re a Role Model. They‘re an example. They‘re not going to follow The Alpha and they‘re not going to follow The Prodigal. They're going to go their way. So, you either follow them or not, because they will not, like The Alpha or The Prodigal, try to convince you, because after all, these are social, they are sharing, they‘re communicative. They‘re going to give you all the reasons and they‘re going to give you all the explanations. And The Prodigal is going to give you an education on snakebites and how to avoid alligators and how to find your way in the forest. They‘ve done all those things before. They‘re all going to go through these long explanations.
Remember that the individual brings mutation; mutation changes the rules. The Role Model changes the rules. The collective wants to tell you why. It wants to get your vote. “I don‘t want to get your vote; I just want to make my contribution.” That‘s very different. “I'm forced in this situation; I‘m going to make my contribution. I know how to get out of here. You either follow me or not, the hell with you.”
If The Role Model leaves with a couple of people and a day later the rescuers come because The Role Model sent them and told them how to find the plane, then everybody there is sort of “aha!”. And it‘s only then that it is respected. And it's only afterwards The Prodigal will go up to The Role Model and say “Which way did you go? How did you know which way to go?” And try to figure out what it is in order to make it part of the story.
In this situation, the only person I would trust to get me out of there is the 8-1. It‘s the only one I would trust.”
