"Corruption happens when a religious man, having established being religious, becomes corrupt to save his authority and does not save his mission. He does not save what made him spiritual."
--Yogi Bhajan 1/7/90 (YB Teachings, LLC)
There are those in a hegemonic community that will rule the tribe and become leaders. The voice will become about the one that is the loudest almost bully in nature. They will convince those that appear inferior to follow. The second notion is to figure out of the subculture among-st the group or organization.
The hegemonic force can be subtle and manipulative to control and dominate areas of class, social, and it can appear in spiritual communities. How are we to move forward and heal the world if the leaders are destructive in nature? In cultivating, the nature to encourage unhealthy competition can limit a group-think to happen. The group-think is unable to think on its own without feeling the pressure to bend to the masses.
This can happen in the wearing of Kirpans in Sikh communities the leaders have a negative perspective and have not overcome their own baggage new students will feel the re-precautions. Then it becomes about the louder voice and ego will create impact on those that follow.
I am processing these thoughts on a much deeper level and have seen different communities that represent various point of views. I have seen those that are strong in form and spiritual practices and those that simply do the show. I have felt the difference of wearing a Kirpan on a regular basis and its impact on those around is immense. This truly does help to cut negative energies and act out of a place of reverence.
