We are all leaders. We all have the ability to influence others and create change. We are truly powerful beyond measure.
But why is that message so hard to truly comprehend?
Rod A. Macpherson explores why we're stuck in a spiral of fear driven behaviour that results in the exploitation of our natural resources, and each other, with little consideration for the impact on our precious world.
He argues that we create our own reality, and therefore, we can create the life and world we want. Learn how to:
- explore your personal power and take responsibility for your life;
- take personal responsibility in order to save the environment;
- find new ways for economies, environments, businesses, and individuals to co-exist in sustainable ways;
- apply discoveries in quantum connectedness to promote education and leadership models.
It is no longer acceptable for us to stand by and wait for someone else to save our world. Being an observer is in effect giving permission for the insanity to continue. It is time for a new leadership paradigm. That greedy behavior is responsible for the ongoing destruction of our fragile environment.
The time for change is upon us. The next phase of our evolution into higher consciousness is here right now.

CHAPTER 1
The Time is Here Now
I can hear the question now, the very same question that I have asked myself over many decades. What can I possibly do to change the dysfunction in this world? This is far bigger than me. What difference could I possibly make? I am only one person. I believe the answer to these questions lies in the expansion of human consciousness. I believe that we are at the dawn of an awakening, an evolution in human consciousness. It simply has to be. The time is here right now.
Let me clarify. In this evolution of human consciousness, our history and the lessons from our past will be, and are, a part of our conscious evolution. Those experiences occurred as a part of our journey. Our greatest lessons come at times of our greatest pain. I think we have all experienced that horrible moment when we get caught doing something we should not be doing, dreaded the consequences only to find later that we learned one of our biggest lessons from the experience. Or perhaps it was some tragedy in our lives that changed us at a deep level. Some of the horrific experiences that we see daily are happening to get our attention. We can no longer hide. The more seemingly painful the experience, the greater the lesson and the greater the opportunity for growth.
The pain that our planet and our people are currently experiencing presents a perfect platform for change.
But who is going to lead the change and how do we learn our lessons? I for one was becoming extremely impatient about the arrival of our saviour, whoever or whatever that saviour may be.
While writing this book Australia experienced the tragic death of a young test cricketer Phillip Hughes. Hughes was just short of his twenty-sixth birthday when he was struck by a cricket ball on the back of the neck, just below the lip of his protective helmet, and died on the playing surface at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground during a first class cricket match in November 2014.
Phil Hughes was a talented country lad who had a dream to represent his country. He left his small hometown of Macksville in northern New South Wales, a short journey south by car from where I am writing this book, and ventured to the big city of Sydney to pursue his dream. He represented his country at both limited overs and test level, all in his early twenties, before falling from favour and struggling with his game and his confidence.
I never met Phillip Hughes. I worked in Macksville for a period as the HR Executive for a company that employed his older brother Jason. I imagine that Phillip had the very same passionate approach to life that I observed in the then nineteen-year-old Jason when we were discussing his intention to follow his younger brother to Sydney to pursue his own sporting interests.
The tragic passing of Phillip Hughes on November 27, 2014 had a profound affect on me personally and on the wider Australian community. His funeral was televised live on all channels, something I could not recall happening since the 9/11 tragedy. I pondered how it was possible that his death could have such an impact on so many people regardless of whether they followed cricket, or any sport for that matter. Was it the loss of such a young man in his prime of life? Sadly that happens all too often. Was it the untold story and potential this young man still had to give on the big stage? But then many talented young stars have passed before without such fanfare.
The closest events with such personal impact on me were the death of Nelson Mandela, the tragic passing of Princess Dianna Spencer, the Princess of Wales in 1997 and the senseless murder of founding Beatle John Lennon in 1980. What is it with these particular individuals that evoked such empathy and connection and how does the tragic death of Phillip Hughes even remotely compare with these other iconic legends? Each has special talents in his or her own right, but what is it exactly that was resonating with me? The traits that sprang to mind were vulnerability, transparency and authenticity – the ability to acknowledge personal fear and failings but do it anyway, regardless of what others may think.
My own life has been substantially impacted by the life of former Beatle, John Lennon. My very first record, a 45-rpm single, was the double sided 'Day Tripper' and 'We Can Work it out' from 1966. I saved my pocket money for weeks to get that record. Through the evolution of the Beatles, and Lennon's personal battle with drugs and the meaning of his life, I followed his ongoing confrontation with the establishment in the pursuit for world peace, his subsequent withdrawal from the music industry limelight and his amazing rebirth as an artist and human being, abruptly ended by his senseless shooting in 1980. We all witnessed publicly his failings and his sensitivities. He was always authentic. He put himself up for ridicule. The media taunted him and he let go of any attachment to his popularity and image as a Beatle to express his personal pain and beliefs on world peace. Imagine! We all thought he was mad. Looking back now he seemed to be one of the only sane humans on the planet. Ultimately Lennon was just a man. I recall a videoed conversation of him with an avid fan and autograph hunter. Lennon was puzzled by why the fan wanted his signature. What was so important about a signature? He said something along the lines of 'the significance is in the music and the words of the song not in me'. He made some profound statements and wrote insightful lyrics that continue to hold relevance for us all.
The life of Princess Dianna had a similar theme, authentic and sensitive. Not perfect by any means but real and caring beyond her self. Born and married into royalty we saw her imperfections in public and she took the ultimate risk and opened her heart to us all. We saw the human side of the royals. They are just imperfect people like the rest of us! I believe witnessing the flawed side of Princess Dianna created an avenue for connection with the rest of us. We all know our own vulnerabilities and can relate to that in one another. Dianna Spencer showed us that she was just a woman after all.
Mandela carried the same remarkable character qualities. A life typified by hope and passion mixed with those special imperfections that gave him a sense of reality. Nelson Mandela was no saint. Nelson Mandela was passionate and authentic. It is easy to forget that he was a young activist before he went to prison. Mandela was very human. I believe Phillip Joel Hughes was of that ilk. Passionate and driven yet not possessing the perfect cricket technique. He worked on his game and on himself with vision of greater ambitions, and yet a humility and vulnerability that was there for all to see.
But wait, Lennon was an iconic rock star. He sold more records that anyone previously and the Beatles, well they are the Beatles for goodness sake! Dianna Spencer, she was a British royal. British royalty dominates mainstream press across the globe and Mandela well that was a story for the ages. How could his heart wrenching fight for equality from a prison cell and the resultant progression of South Africa into racial freedom not consume the planet? Phillip Hughes was just an Australian cricketer and not even in the current test side! Why was I, and so many Australians, captivated at that moment? I couldn't help but feel that there was more to this than just the loss of a talented and likeable young man.
It came to me as I was reflecting on this book early one morning. It is the time. The time is here right now. People are ready and wanting to heal. Humanity is looking for authentic, honest and conscious humans who have the courage to pursue their dreams with honesty and integrity in spite of their fears. We value them. On a deeper level we all want to be like that. I believe that we have a yearning to own our light side and face our own fears. We possess a deep ache to have the courage to face our personal inadequacies and stand up despite the possibility of rejection and ridicule. We are becoming tired of following like sheep.
There is a growing sense of frustration manifesting on planet earth in regard to the way we are destroying our fragile environment, and ourselves, in the pursuit of financial growth, despite the multitude of warnings and evidence that things have to change. We seem powerless to stop this. We witness politicians and business leaders promoting their own agendas in childish and dangerous games while irresponsible mainstream media pushes the boundaries of truth to sell advertising and satisfy their owners' corporate greed. We are continuously confronted by senseless conflicts, atrocities and destruction in the name of religions that all inherently promote peace and kindness.
And all the time we look for a leader to step up and make sense. Barack Obama is one who I believe speaks openly and has a vision greater than his own political ambitions but we have witnessed him hamstrung by a political system that has evolved to ensure that the real power is seemingly not with the people but with a small number of grossly wealthy and powerful corporate moguls. There are others like Obama across the globe no doubt that wither in the system and never even get the opportunity to rise to prominence.
In Australia our current political options are totally devoid of leadership quality and authenticity. No wonder voters are disillusioned with our democratic system! We seem to have created a mixture of corporate sloth and popularity chasers.
My feeling is that people have had enough. The Internet has served to bring us information direct from the source without the censorship of the mainstream media. We have more alternate information than ever before. We are at a tipping point. We know things have to change but we do not know how. What can we possibly do? And then along comes a plucky country kid that captures our imagination. A kid high on integrity and low on pretence, prepared to be the subject of ridicule but never lose sight of his dream. We connect to those sorts of real heroes. We want real people. We want truth. A part of me recognises that the Phillip Joel Hughes phenomenon was not so much about cricket or sport but more about people seeking truth, something real yet vulnerable. Something genuine. After an explosive start to his test career when he was being compared to the greatest test cricketer of all time, Sir Donald Bradman, Hughes had been banished from the side and floundered at state level. But he was a fighter. He had a dream and he persevered. He was on the cusp of a recall to the test side when he was tragically taken. He had never given up on his dream. That is what I have taken from his passing.
This book had originally been about more traditional leadership models and the changes that current and future leaders would have to possess to lead us out of our current spiral. I have certainly been yearning for heroes who are true to their very core, that are not perfect and possess a sense of vulnerability just like the rest of us. Role models that consistently strive to do better and are brutally honest with us, and themselves, and who hold the beacon that we will follow.
I understand now that waiting is simply not an option.
It seems that we have all been waiting around for that next Jesus or Mohammad or Buddha to make it all right for us and save humanity when the truth is, it has always been up to us. It is up to each and every one of us to play our part in our everyday lives at being authentic, conscious and vulnerable. None of us is perfect. That is evidenced in my theory. Just check your mirror if you have any doubt. John Lennon still had a reflection and certainly Phillip Hughes still had a reflection.
But guess what? It is just fine to have a reflection. It is perfectly ok. What is not so ok is to turn away from what is happening on the planet and wait for someone else to ride in and save the day while we allow our lives to be compromised by our lack of consciousness. Nelson Mandela could not ignore the inequality. John Lennon could not ignore the madness of war and the ludicrous idolisation of pop gods, and Dianna Spencer could not ignore the greater part that she had to play as part of the responsibility that went with her station, despite her own human frailties. Each made sacrifices in the pursuit of their ideals. Why would anyone want to follow that path? Surely it is easier to sit back and be a wallflower? That is a much safer path - or is it?
While we are prepared to take a back seat in the interests of our own safety, our planet and humanity, including us along with it, is slowly dying. Our inaction is actually destroying us all. We are the new leaders. We are here now and we alone have the power to change things. It is not up to our children or someone else. It may well be too late if we delay and leave it to future generations. All of us, together, must take responsibility and we must take it now. Humanity is facing extinction. The time is upon us.
As Lennon alluded to in the classic Beatles rock composition Revolution, it's not about hate and it is certainly not about violence. It is about mind set. It is about attitude - "We all want to change your head". It is about taking personal responsibility and being true to your real values while accepting your shortcomings. It's about getting up when you are knocked down. It's about going back to basics when you fall from your path and slip into complacency. It's about consciously doing what you can in your own life to become a better leader, a better human being, a better person, a better father, a better mother, a better son or daughter or bank teller or doctor or cricketer. It's about having the courage to speak out when you see something that is clearly wrong, or does not feel right to you. It's about growing up as a race and saying 'enough is enough'. There is another way.
That is what Phillip Hughes and John Lennon and Princess Dianna and Nelson Mandela brought to the table. That is what I connected with. You don't have to be famous - you just have to be conscious and follow a purpose. You just have to be real, have a dream and be brave enough to pursue it. We can all do that.
* * *
In the following chapters I will touch on some of the universal truths that have been around for millennia and that aspiring leaders in a highly conscious world will need to know. These truths apply regardless of whether you believe in them or not. Some you may know and some may challenge you. All I ask is that you keep an open mind. Only you can decide what is true for you.
The most important thing we all need to know, and particularly if we are in any position that may have an influence on others, is who we really are ourselves. That is our own self-awareness. What makes us tick and how do these so called universal truths impact our lives? This is a key to leadership into a conscious world. Without self-awareness we get more of the same.
We can, each and every one of us, make a small difference every day and that is all that is needed to make a big difference and create change in our world. The slogan "think globally and act locally" is very relevant. Individually and together we hold the key. I liken this power of small actions making a big difference to the theory of the one hundredth monkey. Lyall Watson and Lawrence Blair published this theory in the mid 1970's in a publication called Rhythms of Vision. The theory originates from stories of observations documented by unidentified Japanese scientists, studying the behaviour of the Macaque Monkeys, on the Japanese Island of Koshima in 1952. While this theory may have some factual inconsistencies the theme is very appropriate to human learning and consciousness.
Apparently the monkeys being observed on Koshima were all eating sweet potatoes that were consistently covered in sand from contact with the island beaches. Despite the gritty taste, the monkeys still consumed the potatoes, sand and all. It follows that one-day a single monkey started to remove the grit from their food by washing the potato in the water before eating it. This behaviour was gradually taken up until a critical number of monkeys, supposedly one hundred, were washing at which time all of the other monkeys converted to the new behaviour in quick succession. Furthermore, it is claimed that the behaviour then spread to a neighbouring island at around that same time leading to assumptions that the new found consciousness of the monkeys had somehow spread there. While some of the facts in this story have been disputed over time, the theory is still sound in that behaviour is mostly learned from what is happening in our environment and there is a point when that behaviour becomes the norm. As more people start to change their behaviour, and live more consciously, then others will learn from their actions and at some point that behaviour becomes the accepted practice. There is a tipping point. There is power in numbers and the numbers are you and I.
I don't know about you but I am well and truly over the sand on my sweet potato and I know that I am not the only one. One by one we can make a difference and change the world. All you really have to do to change the world is change your own perception of the world and your own behaviour. It is that simple, just your own.
We are all leaders. We all have the ability to influence others and create change.

Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

(2) A ‘consumer’ in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman’ refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products .
(2) If an article is placed by us with AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the page on AbeBooks or ZVAB shall involve the binding offer to conclude a contract under the terms and conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract shall become effective via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the "shopping cart". You can select the "Shopping Cart" using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the “Checkout” page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page.
Before submitting the order, you have the ability once more to review or change any information here (you may also use the "back" button on the Internet browser), or to cancel the purchase.
By clicking the “Buy now” button to submit the order, you declare your legally binding acceptance of the order which makes the contract effective.
(4) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.
§ 3 Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.
(3) If you are a businessman, the following conditions also apply:
a) We retain ownership of the goods until all the claims arising from the ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. The goods subject to retention of title may not be pledged or transferred by way of security before ownership of the said goods changes hands.
b) You can re-sell the goods within the framework of an orderly transaction. In this regard, you hereby cede all the claims amounting to the magnitude of the billing amount that accrue to you as a result of the re-selling operation to us, and we accept the cession. Furthermore, you are authorised to collect the claim in question. However, insofar as you do not discharge your payment obligations in an orderly fashion, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.
c) In a situation involving the combination and amalgamation of the goods subject to retention of title, we acquire co-ownership of the newly-formed item. This co-ownership corresponds to the ratio that exists between the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title and the other processed items at the time of processing.
d) If you make a request of this nature, we shall be obligated to release the securities that are due to us, to the extent that the realisable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. We are responsible for selecting the securities to be released.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.
(2) As a consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport damage as soon as it is delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
(4)
Insofar as you are an entrepreneur, the following shall apply in deviation from the above warranty provisions:
a) Only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product description shall be deemed agreed as the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.

The rectification of defects shall be deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless the nature of the goods or the defect or other circumstances indicate otherwise. In the event of rectification of defects, we shall not be obliged to bear the increased costs arising from the transport of the goods to a place other than the place of performance, unless such transport is in accordance with the intended use of the goods.
c) The warranty period shall be one year from delivery of the goods. The shortening of the period shall not apply
- for culpable damage attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and for other damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item;
- in the case of items which have been used for a building in accordance with their customary use and have caused its defectiveness;
- in the case of statutory rights of recourse that you may assert against us in connection with rights arising from defects.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer’s usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods are explicitly inapplicable.

6.2 If you are a consumer, the following is statutorily regulated: The risk of the sold item accidentally being destroyed or degraded during shipping only passes over to you when the item in question is delivered, regardless of whether or not the shipping operation is insured. This condition does not apply if you have independently commissioned a transport company that has not been specified by us or a person who has otherwise been appointed to execute the shipping operation.
If you are a businessman, the delivery and shipping operations take place at your own risk.

Data protection declaration
Unless stated otherwise below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually obligatory, nor required for conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide your data. Not providing it will have no consequences. This only applies as long as the processing procedures below do not state otherwise.
“Personal data” is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Responsible person
Contact us at any time. The contact details of the person responsible for data processing can be found in our legal notice.
Collection, processing, and transfer of personal data in orders
When you submit an order we only collect and use your personal data insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment and handling of your order as well as processing of your queries. The provision of data is necessary for conclusion of a contract. Failure to provide it will prevent the conclusion of any contract. The processing will occur on the basis of Article 6(1) b) GDPR and is required for the fulfilment of a contract with you.
Your data is transferred here for example to the shipping companies and dropshipping providers, payment service providers, service providers for handling the order and IT service providers that you have selected. We will comply strictly with legal requirements in every case. The scope of data transmission is restricted to a minimum.
Duration of storage
After contractual processing has been completed, the data is initially stored for the duration of the warranty period, then in accordance with the retention periods prescribed by law, especially tax and commercial law, and then deleted after the period has elapsed, unless you have agreed to further processing and use.
Rights of the affected person
If the legal requirements are fulfilled, you have the following rights according to art. 15 to 20 GDPR: Right to information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability. You also have a right of objection against processing based on art. 6 (1) GDPR, and to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, according to art. 21 (1) GDPR.
Right to complain to the regulatory authority
You have the right to complain to the regulatory authority according to art. 77 GDPR if you believe that your data is not being processed legally.
Right to object
If the data processing outlined here is based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)f) GDPR, you have the right for reasons arising from your particular situation to object at any time to the processing of your data with future effect.
If the objection is successful, we will no longer process the personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests or rights and freedoms, or the processing is intended for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
