Reliance on Intelligence beyond my Intelligence as a Leadership Skill

For many years I have lived a life of subtle arrogance. I used to believe that praying and asking for guidance from Intelligence higher than me was an act of weakness!!. That’s how arrogant I was until life put me through the lessons I needed to learn and see the magnificence of Intelligence much, much greater than I can possibly perceive. Over few years now I have come to wonder and ponder and see probably for the first time the intricate details and perfection in which a baby is born, the precision perfect way in which human body functions and heals ,the orderliness in which a plant grows and bears fruits, the impeccable trajectory of the planets and stars. Now waking up to the magnificence of this intelligence which ever surrounds us (only if we choose to see) I am compelled to ask the question what does it take for me tap into this Intelligence? Why is that we human beings rely only on our own limited Intelligence and choose not to include the guidance which we receive from this higher Intelligence into healing physical illnesses. Why is it that the skills to tap into this Intelligence are considered as ‘soft skills’ , hog wash , miracles , magic ? Why can’t we collectively align to this higher intelligence perpetually and make it a way of life? How can businesses tap into this potential and create better worlds and economies? How can mothers tap into this Intelligence to be a guiding force for the next generation? As I read and ponder to quench my thirst of these questions, I stumbled upon an area of new leadership skills. ‘Source’, the path to inner leadership is a book written by Joseph Jowarski which talks exactly how tapping into this universal Intelligence’ will be a skill needed by the next gen Leadership. He talks about how Shell uses this skill to predict the emerging futures of tomorrow. For me personally, I never looked at my journey into personal mastery as a leadership skill until now. My only driving force was to be a better human being. As I read and internalize the likes of Joseph Jowarski , Peter senge’s work I realise ‘Tapping into the higher Intelligence’ is no more a ‘soft skill’ but a very matured high end skill needed for stewarding humanity to its next level of evolution and potential. To create leaders which tap into the human potential to create the emerging futures of tomorrow. Am I inspired or what ? !!
