Archangel Michael: What is Leadership? – Part 1/2
A very powerful two-part discussion from Michael on leadership, the need of the moment. Linda Dillon channeling.
“Lightworker” and “leader” go together, to my mind. Only lightworkers know the Divine Plan and have aligned with it. Others who do not and have not lack the clarity of vision, sense of direction, and strength of purpose, as Michael says here.

AAM: It is time to come out of the cave. It is time to stop hiding your light under a bushel basket. It is time for many – all of you – to step forward and assume [leadership] in the fullness of joy.
So not only are you being asked to step forward, to let go of the fear, the angst, the anger, the concern, but we are asking you to step forward [laughing] in outrageous joy! So this is quite a request is it not?
Steve: It is definitely quite a request. [laughing]
AAM: If no one steps forward into the ‘how to’, into ‘how do we go about this?’ How do we begin, how do we proceed, how do we build, how do we create in the practical sense? Then there is a massive vacuum because many of the billions upon your planet have not yet learned, adapted and integrated the new tools – the fullness of this new energy.
So they are assigned…or try to step up to create and to take the leadership role. They do not have the training and insight to do this in a way that is achievable. It is not a critique or a criticism or a judgment in any way of the collective, but if they are not fully engaged and enjoying the energy of wholeness, then they are not bringing the engineering of that wholeness to the project of creating Nova Earth. So there is a lack, a vacuum of leadership.
Now, who upon this wondrous planet, who has been hiding in the shadows or edging out, or in the limelight and is ready? Who has prepared? Who has been diligent and practiced patience and fortitude and stamina, and anchored the divine qualities? Who is it that is prepared to do this? Well it is the lightworkers.
Now there is a reticence on two levels. There is the practicality of, “My family thinks I am absolutely crazy,” “I do not want to risk my job, my friendships, my position in my community by speaking out.” And there is also the fear of success. There is the fear of the old paradigm of leadership, which was control and greed and lust and authority, meaning abuse of power.
And so the concern is we do not wish to duplicate the Illuminati. My friends, there is not a chance above or below that you are going to duplicate. That is what you have strived to eliminate. What you are being asked to do is to step forth in the truth of your gifts, your abilities…some in a minor way, some in a major way, but each in accordance with your true mission and purpose on Gaia – not on other planets…in tandem and cooperation with your Star brothers and sisters, but not off planet…to bring forth this wondrous new.
It has not been done in form, anchored in a physical reality, a physical reality that is absolutely interdimensional. That is the task at hand. We know the magnitude of what we are asking, but we also know the support that we are prepared to give on every level.

Archangel Michael: What is Leadership? – Part 2/2
(Concluded from Part 1, yesterday.)
The second part of a very powerful discussion from Michael on leadership, the need of the moment. Linda Dillon channeling.
As I said earlier, “lightworker” and “leader” go together, in my mind. Only lightworkers know the Divine Plan and have aligned with it. Others who do not and have not lack the clarity of vision, sense of direction, and strength of purpose, as Michael says here.
“Transcript: Archangel Michael – On Mastery and Leadership Part 2,” May 23, 2015, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/?p=258317
Archangel Michael: Previously, I have begun to speak about the new form of leadership. And I would say to thee, we use this term that you understand – and that is understood throughout many intergalactic cultures – of leadership, of responsibility, of teamwork, of cohesion, of discernment, of all the divine qualities, not based on the old realm of control and authority and lust and arbitrary decision-making, but, upon the paradigm, upon the construct of sharing your talents and abilities.
Everyone, and I say this to a planet that has billions of people, each of you have brought unique capacities, talents, and abilities to create and co-create individually and collectively.
And increasingly what you are going to hear us speak of is this union between — not only above and below, within and without — but the individual and the collective. That you have a song, you can’t have one without the other. Well, this is where we truly begin to delve into this.
Leadership is assuming your responsibilities, acknowledging, accepting, embracing the wonder of who you are. And, yes, to refer to those core issues [vasanas], [but] not to allow those core issues to, in any way, interfere with the fulfillment of who you are and why you came.
So we do not even need to discuss the thousands of other lifetimes that you have had if we simply look at leadership in terms of this life, this time, this time of magnificent transition, of ascension, of awakening, because, in each of these phases, the role of leadership, the meaning of leadership, has had different quantifiers.
Now you can say to me, what does leadership look like, taste like? What is it experienced as in a society that is ascended, that is based on divine qualities and equality? What does it look like when the egoic control, when the manipulation [is gone], when freedom is the watchword and people are free to step forward? When there is gender equality, racial equality, financial equality, when the structures of the old and the systems that have bound you are gone? What does it look like?
Well, sweet angels, there is still a need for people, whether you are earth-keeper or portal, wayshower or starseed, there will always be need for people, individuals, and groups, who will step forward and say, I can do that. I can take the lead because this is within the realm of my competence.
I understand what is required. I am ready, willing, able, excited, interested, enthusiastic to do this. And in that, you both lead the parade and act as the shepherd. You hold the vision and you go to the back of the line to make sure that no one is left behind.
That is what leadership is. It is not assuming a primary position, because leadership is shared. It does not rest in one individual, one institution. Those times, my friends, are over.
When we speak of mastery, again we speak of the individual coming to the place of their mastery. But as you go forward as a collective, you then become an expression, a collective, a circle, a massive circle of mastery, each in your own particular chosen realms.
There is need for all of this. As I have said previously, too often, for a very legitimate [reason], many of you, particularly, who are light workers and love holders, have maintained an exceptionally low profile.
And you have done so for reasons of protection, and protection in the true sense of security, fight or flight, but also protection of your psyche, of your soul, for social protection so that your family did not think you were insane, so that socially you would be able to operate, or you would be able to operate within a corporate environment that frowned on such things as active spiritual quests, and heaven forbid, a spiritual quest that was above and beyond the corporate goals.
So you have had a variety of reasons. You have played an old third-dimensional game with cause. But that cause, that rationale, has come to an end. It is not just ending; it is already over. It has ceased. Then you say, but dear Lord, we are not in Nova Earth. We are not upon the Golden Times as yet.
Well, I could say two things to you: Why do you think that you are not? What is it about these times that you do not feel that you are already in your leadership position creating the Golden Age?
And at the same time I will say: No, you are not quite there yet. You are in this time of transition; you are in this time of the great awakening. And is it not exciting and magnificent, and is it not at times frustrating, above and below?
But during the time of transition, which is where I would like to focus our discussion this day, it is more crucial than ever that the leadership — personal, collective — step forward and be seen.
Yes, we are talking about exposure. We are talking about vulnerability, but we are also talking about liberation, about not censoring your words, your actions, your dreams, your purpose, and what you are birthing and bringing forth in the name of the Mother, in the name of the galactics and intergalactics, Gaia, and all of humanity.
It is freeing, beloveds. It is freeing to not keep that bushel basket over your head any longer. You say, Lord, I do not know if I am ready because I still have a family, neighbors, colleagues that think that my belief systems are not in accordance with the mainstream.
And I say, yes, that is correct. But how does this mainstream shift? It shifts, beloved ones, through your beliefs, through your actions, through what you are bringing forth.
