One day you decide to take up a long journey. You pick up your bag and head for a region known for its scenery, pristine lakes and dangerous passes. You are in the middle of your journey, in a beautiful valley guarded by twelve mountains. This is a magical place where strange forces are at work.
It is like an early dawn but everything is luminescent in mysterious ambient light. Then there is a sudden flash. You feel as if a curtain has lifted. In that brief moment you understand the secrets of time, space and the universe. You see that there is truth behind everything, and a common wisdom among all things.
Then the strangest thing happens – you are no longer one you but a hundred and one exact replications of you. Your feelings have been profound but there is peacefulness in you heart. You soon come to terms with new reality.
Then something moves … you realise that you have an arduous journey ahead. Will you be able to choose one person among yourselves to lead you forward?

The leader will step forward himself.

Er... yeah, profound...
Anyway, that is kind of apt, because I am reading Acts at the moment, and I have been thinking about how the disciples chose somebody to replace Judas. In the end, they drew lots (although God had told them they would be helped if they waited). I found that really interesting, because I'm sort of between two churches and I know that if there was a matter such as leadership, one of my churches would have a strong focus on prayer. But I think the other one wouldn't...
I know which way I prefer, I just hope I have that much faith.

Yes, i would obviously have to choose myself. Apparently on entering the valley I have inhaled unusual plant spaws floating in the air - these plant spaws are also the reason for the luminescent glow and posess similar qualities to magic mushrooms, hence the profound hillucination. On desiphering that only I excist and those around me are insignificant I shall gain a great confidence and self belief which will give me the focus to fashion a sword from near by iron ore and a shield from the old oak in the corner. Using my weapons I will mount my trusty steed and slay many a foe and opposition. "Forth onward great stallion!!!! Together we shall become heroes or die in our attempts!!!"

Yes, the one I chose was Jesus Christ, who died on the Cross for our sins and He will give you the TRUE peace which is beyond human understanding.
You see peopel attack Christians when they have no idea about life, God, the meaning of life etc. Your answer, put your faith in Christ and ask Him to deliver you from all your sins. Jesus is waiting to guide you through the true "way of life", He will show you the meaning between what is right and what is wrong. Satan will give you false hope and false peace, just to ensure you don't follow Christ and through Jesus you will know the truth, and "The Truth Will Set You Free." Then you can go forward in Faith.

Since we would all practically be the same person we would not need one person to lead since we all have the same perceptions, we'll all lead together. Does that make any sense? I think I've even confused myself. Or should I say my 101 selves. Anyway we would all agree and stuff so although there would be 101 mes they would all act as one.

Have you ever thought to right a book? You should.
I've not yet discovered all of my-selves so am unable to answer this question yet. I'm probably choose the me that has all the passion and love inside, it would be boring and hopeless without her.

I don't think I'd worry about a leader. This sounds like an opportune time to take over the world. We can worry about who leads then.

I'm sorry I didn't come up with this myself, but a friend of mine has a t-shirt that says on the front: "Dont lead. Idont follow. " and on the back "Don't follow. I don't lead. I agree with her 100%.

Well, in my opinion i won't choose one but will complete my journey by travelling side by side with my replications.

I don't trust in myself (or replicas of myself). I trust in God.
I believe in the word of God which states
"Trust in the LORD with all you heart; and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes..." Proverbs 5 : 5-7a.
