Subject: RE: BS: Which Mudcat member could you live with
I'm not strong enough to set up, lead, and manage a spiritual community, Daylia. I know what it takes to do that. It takes a tremendously strong and focused person ...

I think you sell yourself mighty short, LH. I've known you a long time, and it seems to me the only thing you need is a tad more confidence.   

...who is willing to carry a load about 20 times what most people carry. Or 50 times. It needs a fully accomplished master...male or female.

WEll, I dunno about hte 'master' bit, LH. I think that's what wrong with a lot of so-called 'spiritual communities' -- every little mister presents himself as a master.

And about hte heavy load --- that depends on how you'd set it up, LH. You could choose to be the manager, not necessarily any kind of 'great guru'. You could delegate any responsibilities you couldn't or didn't care to manage yourself, and set up firm boundaries on your time and space so that people couldn't lean on you unnecessarily.

Besides, you're never alone. What about all those Friends in High Places I mentioned?    ;-)
