Aristocrat is yet another Hellenic (Greek) word that has had its true meaning butchered beyond belief.
From Merriam-Webster (1828):
Since aristos means “best” in Greek, ancient Greeks such as Plato and Aristotle used the word aristocracy to mean a system of rule by the best people—that is, those who deserved to rule because of their intelligence and moral excellence.
My (Greek) mother has been telling me for many years that the term aristocrat applies to those who are honest, moral, wise and intelligent. So, after looking into the etymology of the word myself, I discovered that she is absolutely right.
As you can see, it has nothing to do with bloodlines, wealth and so on, which is what we have been led to believe in recent times.
Intelligence does not equate to being educated since education itself has been propagandized in order to serve the interests of a select few who do currently rule the world.
Intelligence means (in part):
(1): the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations: reason
also: the skilled use of reason.
(2): the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one’s environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (such as tests).
Real Aristocratic Leadership
This is the ‘system of rule‘ that we are moving toward in the future: moral and intelligent leaders.
Leadership: the action of leading a group of people or an organization. Synonyms: guidance, direction, supervision, initiative.
This is separate from political parties, government, royalty and any other type of ‘rulership’ with which most people would now be familiar.
It won’t happen overnight but it WILL happen.

This is a public service announcement since I do not do social networking…
I have had a few people try to subscribe to my blog who fail to confirm their subscription via their email account. This means that they will not receive email notifications when new posts are published. I assume that it goes to their junk/spam folder which they ignore. There’s nothing I can do from my end. These unconfirmed email addresses are deleted after a few days. If you have tried subscribing and it hasn’t worked, it’s because you haven’t confirmed your email address. You will have to re-subscribe and confirm your email address. The other alternative is to bookmark my blog page and check for new articles whenever you feel like it. Either way, thank you for reading my material. If you are new here, you need to know that I write about a range of topics, some of which may not interest you. I publish material based on my own personal, as well as cosmic, cycles – it’s all about Timing.
