Rules of Engagement

Welcome to my thoughts - over the course of the coming year - I will share a few insights that guide our potential success and failure in this world of men.
I say this with a clear and concise belief that some of you will scoff and probably laugh and I encourage you to do as you see fit but spare a thought when you can for the validity of the stated arguments.

Listed below are what I term: the rules of engagement and they are like guide rails in this life long walk.
I will discuss then one at a time and I hope you will share your thoughts and input in this discussion so that we may better understand and refine out ideas (putting them through the forging fire so to speak)
Without much ado we begin:

RULE One

1. Men will always fight authority but will respond to a man of FIRM belief, faith or conviction.

Explanation:

• From history - we will observe that authority has been the main tool of compliance that prevents our societies from becoming chaos prone gatherings of instinct driven men.
• The goal of instinct was to equip man with the speed of action borne out of an inherent instinct to survive the then harsh and bitter world that existed.
• Today this world has been largely tamed but has created a new set of problems that can ONLY be defeated by THOUGHT or THOUGHT combined with INSTINCT.
• The question is thus this: when thought is combined with a developed belief system that has been tested and found appropriate for use - where does the quest begin?
• Are men drawn to the quest for something bigger than themselves and their immediate need to follow something that has a purpose or direction?
• If you thus become a vehicle of purpose or belief (Gandhi, Jesus Christ etc.) you will inexplicably create the dynamic to draw and change people and their thoughts and draw them into the influence of your stated struggle or belief.
• Authority can ONLY be established when people have subsumed their sense of self and presented this as gift to the appointed leader.
• By appointed leader - I do not mean a man who dominates by the means of FEAR (even though this becomes a necessary tool as some men can only be directed by this method); I mean a man appointed by the strength of his convictions and supported by people by their own volition or free will.
• Hitler did not brainwash the people of Germany - he simply captivated them and subsumed them with the strength of his purpose and resolve.
• The radiance of a belief is like a rallying point that draws people to itself like a flame draws moths to their doom.
• The lesson is to IDENTIFY with the cause without losing your objectivity and identity - the lesson is also to use this cause to DRAW the people to yourself.
• To do this you must repeat the message with conviction an clarity and all sense of belief in your words and actions in the cause of this belief.
• Remember - to ride on the wave of the people's conviction - you must focus your message and deliver it with utter conviction - that is the key.
• Also the persistent deliver of the same unwavering message is what creates the required focus and resolve that begins the process - a tipping point will eventually reach where others become the transmission points of your ideas.

Please remember this first injunction as the rallying point for your campaign.
HAVE A FOCUSED MESSAGE THAT IS SIMPLE AND DIRECT AND THAT YOU BELIEVE WITH A FAITH THAT SHINES IN ITS INTENSITY
