S10 E37 The Ruler Deep Dive |IBGR | Donna Kunde & Londina Cruz
“We do not remember days, we remember moments.” – Cesare Pavese
The hero’s journey is often seen as preparation for leadership. In modern life, we become the Ruler by taking complete responsibility for our own lives – not only for our inner reality, but also for the way our outer world mirrors our reality.
When we have become too comfortable and stop growing, our world feels like a wasteland. We must allow new life and the budding new hero within us to take a new journey.
The Ruler creates a peaceful and harmonious world by becoming peaceful and harmonious inside.
There are five levels of the Ruler:
Shadow - Controlling, rigid, tyrannical and manipulative behaviors; the ogre tyrant
Call - Lack of resources, harmony, support, or order in our life
Spiral One - Taking responsibility for the state of your life; seeking healing wounds or areas of powerlessness that are reflected in scarcity in your outer life; concerned primarily with your own life or your own family
Spiral Two - Developing skills and creating structures for manifesting your own dreams in the real world as it is; concerned with the good of whatever group or community you belong to
Spiral Three - Fully utilizing all resources – internal as well as external; concerned with the good of society or the planet
Imagine that you are literally the King or Queen of your realm (your life). Let yourself imagine that you can change virtually anything you want, since you are totally in charge. There is, of course, a political process to consider; you may need to convince your “subjects” of the wisdom of your dictates, but begin simply by thinking of what you would like to decree. Start with your domain – your home, your private life, the part of your work life that is within your control. Then imagine yourself writing the new laws, or writing a speech explaining the new policies to your “subjects” and negotiating with the Rulers of nearby kingdoms to gain their cooperation.
Make sure you leave some thoughts in the comment section below. We are interested in continuing the conversation.
