THE SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP

CHAPTER FIVE PRINCIPLES


1. The “principle of source and resource” is that a product must be connected to its source for proper functioning.


2. When the Creator made various aspects of creation, he used just one process. Yet, when he made humanity, he used two processes: he created man, but he made male and female.


3. The original Source of the spirit-man is the Spirit of the Creator, while the original source of our physical bodies is the ground.


4. The essence of both male and female is the resident spirit within them, called “man.”


5. Source is vital to the ongoing well-being of the offspring or product because it is the authority and sustainer of what it produces.


6. The only way for a person to know his true nature is to go back and reconnect to his Source and see what he is made of.


7. For the protection of humanity, the Creator established natural laws that corresponded with humanity’s nature and well-being. Yet instead of trusting that these parameters were established for its own good, humanity declared independence from its Source.


8. Any time you detach something from its source, things go wrong because source provides all the following things: identity, purpose, concept, worth, value, protection, maintenance, preservation, productivity, meaning, life.


9. When a human rebels against the laws established by the Creator, then death—the severing of the relationship man has with his Source—is the natural result.


10. When mankind was disconnected from his source of creation, the results were devastating. Human beings lost their sense of identity, self-worth, and self-concept, as well as their sense of personal value and significance to themselves, their world, and the universe. Basically, man lost the knowledge of who he is, where he came from, what he is capable of, where he is going, and why he exists.


11. If we are cut off from the Source of our leadership spirit—when his Spirit has departed from our lives—we are also cut off from the attitude and power that should flow from our leadership nature.


12. The human spirit can never know its leadership nature—its purpose, ability, potential, and power—without reconnecting with its Source.
