Description

James Michael Matthew demonstrates in his guide to inverting the global wealth inequality pyramid, how self-serving power always corrupts and always fails in the end.

Prophecy before Vision

This book is dedicated to all of our military veterans still with us, active duty men and women all over the world, and veterans guiding us from the Hall of Souls. You are the very best of American society and history.

Always being the smartest person in the room through the ability to see the future carries a great responsibility to help others.

I want to acknowledge Pastor Gerald McPhillips as part of my overall acknowledgement and thanks to my wife’s and my ancestors. Pastor McPhillips gave the eulogy at my wife’s uncle John McMillian’s memorial service in the summer of 2021.
John was the last of our parents’ and their siblings’ generation. My father was the oldest, born in 1910. I am the youngest of a family of six children. John McMillian, my wife’s mother’s brother, was born in 1931, the youngest of an immediate family of six and the youngest overall of a generation of our twenty-three combined mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles and their respective spouses.
The memorial service was held at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois, the final resting place of President Abraham Lincoln. Gazing upon President Lincoln’s monument while listening to the bagpipes playing “Flowers of the Forest” and “Scotland the Brave” brought us all to tears. My mind flashed back to the banks of the Sangamon River behind our family farm and watching the waters flow down to New Salem near Springfield, where President Lincoln grew as a young man and first readied himself for his run to the Illinois General Assembly.
My wife’s mother and maternal side were all Scots. Her father was part Scotsman and part Frenchman. His last words to me were on a phone call in Paris when he said he would make a Frenchman out of me yet. He never got the chance. We received the call he had passed when we were riding on a train down the Swiss Alps.
His mother was a WWI war bride and ambulance driver in France. She trapped wild ducks and built a river-fed fish pool for food as they made it through the Great Depression living in an abandoned flatboat on the Mississippi River. My wife is still translating a treasure trove of family letters written in French thirty years later from Nazi-occupied France.
My mother, Virginia Davidson Matthew, was also a Scot from the Davidson Clan in the Highlands. I sometimes have grandiose plans of learning to play the bagpipes, wearing my first kilt, and honoring our combined heritage with my own squawking version of “Scotland the Brave.” My father’s side were all English. He jumped rides on the then-nearby freight train to travel back to see my mother from the family farm as they too held on and managed to keep it through the Great Depression. His Uncle Harry was a mule skinner. I barely remember his stories of seeing the country go from mule teams to landing on the moon.
I am a member of the Sons of the American Revolution on both sides. All our daughters are now members of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Our grandchildren will all become Daughters and Sons of the American Revolution.
As the sound of the pipes began to fade, it suddenly hit me that the generation of our parents had passed, and we were now their generation. We have assumed their place in history. I felt unworthy and began to wonder, how can we ever achieve what they achieved?
Then a calmness began to wash away my doubts as I listened to Pastor McPhillips. His words reinforced my thoughts for Book 2—so much so that I disclosed my family’s quest to him and asked if I could repeat his eulogy here. He agreed. I hope you will find his words as inspiring and reassuring as I did. I had already started Book 2, including deciding on the title, before we met.
Here are some excerpts from the eulogy delivered by Pastor McPhillips:
[“Flowers of the Forest”] is a very sacred song. I have read that most bagpipers will only play this song at funerals, memorial services, or in practice.
The “Forest” was a district comprising of Selkirkshire, also known as Ettrick Forest. This forest was known for its archers. The archers, the archers of Ettrick Forest, earned the epithet “Flowers of the Forest” from the Battle of Falkirk in 1298. They formed the bodyguard of King James IV. It was at the area known as Flodden, where their corpses were found surrounding their dead monarch. They fought to the end.
The song describes the grief of women and children at the loss of their young men.
The men that were known as “Flowers of the Forest” believed in something; they were committed to their cause … their king. They were willing to give their life for what they believed. One word I think can describe this: selfless.
From everything that I have been told about John, this one word describes him as well.
If John could send us a message today … I believe it would be … God is real … believe in Him, believe what he says. He has demonstrated His selflessness on our behalf; what are we going to do with it?”
INTRODUCTION
Reject Self-Serving Power is Book 2 in a series I am writing. It builds on the two main foundations of Book 1, Prophecy before Vision : learning to see and alter the future, and inverting the global wealth inequality pyramid. In the first three chapters of Book 2, we will explore why self-serving power strategies fail in the end and why the accumulation of self-serving power as a strategy always ends badly for all those involved.
We will also expand on the leadership principles in Book 1 to explain that leadership is all about helping others be successful. After reading the first three chapters combined with what you learned in Book 1, you will have successfully learned my JM Prophecies leadership code, which is as follows:
1. Prophecy must come before vision. Learn to see and alter the future.
2. Embrace leadership. Leadership is all about helping others be successful.
3. Reject self-serving power . The accumulation of
