The Changing of the Guard.
STORY TIME.
A LIFETIME ago I was on a team of Leaders, one of the strongest teams I had ever been on & was led by a Viking Warrior. Before joining the team I called them all the “Gods” of Mount Olympus. They had that look about them. I was very proud to have been on that team. I was assisting them all at the beginning of this story… & near the end I was adjacent to them - in a position I had never dreamed I could manage. Nowadays I am birthing a Universe (my oh my) & Guide the Leaders of the Awakened World. This is our tale… our Changing of the Guard.
They were a team of Leaders… ALL very different & led their OWN flock very differently. I learned a lot as assistant to them all: that MANY lead in MANY different ways. ALL that matters is that we work along side each other with Respect. RESPECT was a KEY virtue for this team. It held us all together. The Leader of the Team of Leaders was a young man whom looked like a Viking. They all had their own “Archetype”… & this man lead with heart. His WHY statements were pure (what you feed, grows) & we respected him & his ability to guide us all.
The Leader of the charge went on a holiday one random & unassuming week & enjoyed himself out in the woods. We bothered him not. He posted very little, was out with his mates & our second in command (an Alien King in & of himself. If John Connor was Irish & built to build empires) was powerfully & gracefully keeping the troops in line. All was perfectly well.
When our dear Leader returned to work one day he called an immediate team meeting. We had a weekly team meeting (always) & looked forward to it. No matter how busy the entire team was this was a DO NOT BOOK in all schedules (I was the assistant to the team at the time & you literally did NOT TOUCH the team meeting). We were excited about it, revered it, learned together & GREW together. This was odd, our Leader kept a firm smile on his face… he SAID all was well. But the air was thick. I could smell something brewing… (a changing of the guard, Sarah)…
I asked a woman on the team how she felt about this, what she thought…. & she immediately became emotional. Not ONCE removing her crying eyes from the computer screen in front of her (she couldn’t look at me) her instincts were as mine & when I whispered (a changing of the guard)… she closed her eyes & nodded.
She knew.
We met in our same meeting room, unassuming as all conference rooms are. How much LIFE the air holds in those rooms… the decisions made (magic) are permanent & we never look back.
Our Leader stood in front as he told tales of Holiday. moments with Mates, laughs around fires & taking some “time” away from the comings & goings of his daily tasks. Our Alien King (second in command) had already debriefed him on the views he took of us all from the shadows… the peripheral views only TRUE Kings & Queens take of their flock.
Our Leader was proud. Our Second… just the same. Nothing seemed out of line to many of the team. A view now only in hindsight… separated the Leaders of Leaders (& of the Awakened New Earth)… & then those that Lead Humans. No judgment… just an observation. The Awakened Ones knew… they weren’t breathing.
He spoke the coming words like lighting bolts crashing into ALL of our daily lives & shattering what we once knew:
He had been promoted over his holiday & was leaving the team immediately.
Our Alien King would be taking over. The decision was final & life as we knew it (our team) would never be the same again.
Silence was the only way most of them could grieve. Some of us cried, some of us were angry. Some of us didn’t think we were READY to Lead our OWN teams without our Viking supervising us. But our Alien King was more than ready. It was “time”… even if we didn’t want to believe we had learned all we could from the Viking… it was “time”.
In the coming weeks… we were somber yet carried on as “normal”.
In the coming months… I would be promoted to a position still UNDER the umbrella of our Alien King… yet now alongside (next door) to the Team of Leaders. I had learned all I could learn there & was ready to take on more.
…2020 would then happen & I would never return to this Team again. The Alien King is STILL a Leader I stay connected to, respect & to this day is one of the most powerful Divine Masculine Men I have EVER met. He stepped in & up… to take on a role no living mortal could take on.
In the coming years… the Energy of THIS Changing of the Guard would eventually change all we ever knew. The WORLD (macro) had finally been hit by the ripple of OUR Changing of the Guard (micro) & would never be the same again.
I feel this energy birthing again. Whispering from the peripheral of ALL of our Leadership scopes. I am ready for it. I welcome it now. Knowing that since the “time” is NOW… what must be for sure: I have learned ALL I can learn from this paradigm.
& am ready for what comes next.
As always, SARAH
