Something a Leader Must Do
There is nothing holding the present society in place except misinformation, the existence of distress patterns on individuals within the society, and the distress patterns’ inertia within the society. There is nothing standing in the way of complete transformation of the society except distress patterns which can be challenged and discharged.
The leader must communicate this, not only about the limited situation of the group, but also about the society as a whole, or the group’s momentum for action will, at some time, tend to be lost.
The group members will not usually have this perspective to begin with, and the leader is the one who must furnish it. Offered this perspective, people will tend to learn quickly through their own experience of discharge and change, and through observing the changes discharge makes in others.
