This age craves a Lincoln-like figure, who can steer the country through intense polarization

Whether by melancholia or meditation, the leader needs to discern truth through aloneness, while still heeding the crowds (or the group chats)

I worry, though, that we lack the spiritual infrastructure to allow such a leader to emerge

Can’t help but feel that waiting for yet another mythical leader is doing more harm than good.

People crave for others to solve their problems, but it’s only we who can solve our own problems.  We need to stop waiting for a charismatic leader, roll up our sleeves and get to work.  

It’s only in doing this work that we can actually identify a leader anyway.

"The way the world gets healed now is not by getting a good idea that everybody agrees with, not by having a summit that solve the problems, but having more people awakening to who they are and learning how to give what they have come into the world to give."

1. I agree in spirit, but the people are spiritually devoid right now. In order to roll up their sleeves, they're going to have to be left with no other options (hard times)

2. The people are already acting on it -- it's how we have the current administration. My plea is not to buck the "strong man" desire, but to ask that the strong man be wise as well / philosophically grounded
