On Whose Authority do We Act? | Steve Beckow

(Golden Age of Gaia)

In the course of researching lightworker leadership, I came across this Hour with an Angel interview in which Archangel Michael discusses by what authority we speak in addressing situations in society. I found it very relevant to what we face at the moment.

“Transcript: Archangel Michael – On Mastery and Leadership Part 2,” May 23, 2015, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/?p=258317.

Steve: Where I would first like to begin, Lord, is to get clear on what the source of our authority is. If we’re going to step out and lead, usually we lead on the basis of representing something or doing it on behalf of something. What is the nature and the source of our authority for our leadership? I almost know what you are going to say, but I would like to get it on the record.

Archangel Michael: Of course you know what I am going to say, dear heart. You do it on the authority of the Divine Mother. You do it on my authority. You do it on the authority of the Company of Heaven, the Council of Love, your star family, your intergalactic brothers and sisters. But most of all, you do it on the authority of humanity. You do it on the authority of your sacred self.

Authority, in the truest meaning of the word, is the assumption of a role and responsibility to fulfill a mission, an undertaking, whether it is of a long nature of several million years, or of a brief nature of an assignment.

But you have come from a paradigm — a very strong paradigm — of control. So you have come from a system where people have said and believed: do you have the authority to do that? Always in a challenging and somewhat negative manner: by whose authority do you act?

And for a variety of reasons, all related to liberation, freedom, and self-worth, there has been a hesitancy for human beings, individuals, to step forward and say, on my authority, on my supreme authority as a servant of the Mother that lives within, as a servant of humanity for whom I speak. And then they will say, by whose authority do you have the right to speak for the collective?

That is where unity consciousness comes to the forefront. That is where the truth speaking — which has been very absent — where the truth speaking of what humanity truly wants, desires, yearns for, and diligently, consistently works to create, comes to the forefront.

When you speak for humanity, what do they want? Well, you know the first thing I would say is peace. Because, unless there is peace upon the planet, the love does not have a chance to flourish in the garden. But you begin to speak with authority and responsibility, because you cannot divorce these two; it is like hope and trust, you cannot divorce them, you cannot separate them.

And you have the authority, the God-given source, whatever you choose to call the One, you have the authority to speak the truth, not of some concoction of what you think, or hope humanity wants, but the truth of what you know humanity wants in a collective way. Because you all want the same thing, regardless of cultures, of politics, of religions, of institutions, of backgrounds, of socio-economics.
