The Danger (And Potential) Of Pushing Into The Unknown In Sageship
Understanding The Challenges Faced
To Be a Master is to Know What is Known.
To Become a Sage is to Discover What is Yet Unknown...
Then Figuring Out How to Lead Others to What You Find.
If Your Goal is to Become a Sage within Your Industry, it is a Requirement for You to Move into the Unknown.
Now, the Idea of this "On Paper" Sounds Amazing.
You Become "The" Person Who is Credited for that which is Unknown.
It has a Ring of Glory.
Recognition.
Perhaps Even...
Power.
Indeed, when Others Begin to See "You" as a Sage.
It Can Become All of These and More.
There is Great Potential for the Sage to Become Acknowledged for their Discoveries.
But...
Within this Pursuit...
There is Also an Incredible Risk...
Danger...
Of Things Going Wrong.
How Do I Mean?
Think of it like this...
You are in the Middle of a Jungle Looking for an Ancient Lost City.
You are Leading Multiple People to Find this City.
Suddenly...
You See It...
Only a Bit Ahead of You...
So You Begin to Sprint Forward and Encourage Everyone to Follow You...
But in Your Excitement...
You Fail to Pay Attention...
And You Run Straight Into a Pit of Quicksand...
Which Everyone Else You're Leading Falls Into as Well.
In Your Excitement, You Failed to Recall that You are Moving Through Unknown Territory...
And in Your Haste, You have Gotten into a Situation which May Now be Perilous...
If You Perish Here...
Others May Never Discover This Lost City.
They May Deem it Too Dangerous as No One Ever Heard from the Last Party that Sought It Out...
The Party that You Led.
Here's Another Scenario Using a Similar Metaphor...
You're a Master Climber and You've Been Looking for Evidence of a Lost Civilization in the Mountains.
You have Been Doing this On Your Own for Some Time because it is Easier and Faster to Navigate the Challenging Climbs by Yourself.
You Figure that Once You Discover the Lost Civilization, You'll Simply Guide People.
Then You Find It!
So you Go Down to Try and Get More People to Join You...
But there is a New Problem...
The Climbs are Too Difficult for Others to Follow You...
And You have been Too Focused on Using Your Own Innate Abilities to Figure Out "How" to Explain to Others How to Get to Actually "Get" to the Lost Civilization.
You Could Do It Again By Yourself...
No Problem.
You have Become "One" with the Mountain Cliffs to the Point where You No Longer "Think", You Just "Do".
But that is the Problem...
The People You're Trying to Lead Cannot "Do" as You Do...
Some of them Believe that You're Making Up the Story and Turn Away...
The Others Turn Away because they Simply Cannot See or Understand What You Do, and are Too Worried about Perishing from the Climb.
You have Done It - You "Found" the Lost Civilization...
But You are Alone Now with No One to Trust or Understand what You've Discovered.
These are Both Very Real Possibilities for Individuals who Move Into the Unknown.
Even though these are "Metaphors", the Ways they Play Out are Very Real.
Galileo Galilei was a Sage during his Time, and his Discovories Led him to Promote the Heliocentric Model (The Earth Revolved around the Sun).
But in his Zeal for Defending his Findings, he said some things which Did Not Go Well with the Catholic Church during the Midst of the Inquisition...
He was Found, "Vehemently Suspect of Heresy" in his Trial, and Forced into House Arrest for the Rest of His Life...
That is a Form of Quicksand that Galileo Fell Into.
Another Example of the Quicksand Scenario Metaphor can be Found During World War II.
The US Created a Program, with Support from the UK and Canada, to Figure Out How to Design the Atomic Bomb.
They found themselves in a Race with Nazi Germany, and Worried about what They Would Do with that Power.
At the Head of this Program was J. Robert Oppenheimer, who is Recognized as the Father of the Atomic Bomb.
When he Saw what he Created, the Pandora's Box of what He had been at the Center of Opening, he said...
"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds"
He Discovered His "Lost City", but at a Cost that would Remain Heavy on His Mind and Heart until He Passed Away.
However, his Work is Now also Relevant in Some of the Research for Designing Clean Energy.
But Not All Stories around the Dangers of Sageship are as Tragic as this.
Albert Einstein is Considered a Genius for His Sageship in Today's World...
But During his Time, his Work was often met with Skepticism.
Many of His Ideas Were Not Proven until Decades After His Death.
Some of those Theories Were Not Proven until 2015...
100+ Years After He Published His Work.
This is a Perfect Example of Someone Who was So Skilled that Others Struggled to Follow their Lead.
Within All of these Examples, We See that there is a Very Real Possibility of Danger that Comes with Seeking the Unknown as a Sage.
The Danger of Being Hated...
The Danger of Harming Others...
The Danger of Not Being Understood...
However...
These are the Risks that are Involved in Attaining the Potential of Sageship.
But Do You Recognize Something Else Here?
Many Of Us are Taught the Names of Individuals like Galileo Galilei, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and Albert Einstein.
Why?
Because they Pushed The Boundaries of their Industries.
They Went Beyond Mastery.
They Sought the Unknown.
Yes, there are Inherent Risks that Come With Seeking What Exists in the Unknown...
But there is also Incredible Potential that can Dramatically Change the World.
If We are Wary of the Dangers...
We May be Able to Avoid or Overcome those Dangers.
