My friends, this evening I would like to speak with you about leadership. This, as most topics that we have been discussing, has many layers. And tonight I wish to speak on two components of leadership. First let us look at personal leadership with your own being.

My friends, this evening I would like to speak with you about [[leadership]]. This, as most [[topics]] that we have been [[discussing]], has many [[Dimensions|layers]]. And tonight I wish to speak on two components of leadership. First let us look at [[personal]] leadership with your own [[being]].

Personal leadership is often not thought about, not a part of your perspective. But as I have for many months been speaking to you about building your foundation and starting with the individual, so too, must leadership focus on the individual; that you must be within your being your own leader. You must follow within your own personhood that which brings you into forward, progressive movement. When you have in your mind framework certain goals, certain aspirations, then you put together those things that will propel you to achieve these goals. And these goals not only center on your human aspects, but ever more importantly on your spiritual growth, your spiritual enlightenment. And this is the leadership that I call upon you tonight to look into; to set your goals high; to aspire to those things which you know to be right.

Personal leadership is often not [[thought]] about, not a part of your [[perspective]]. But as I have for many months been speaking to you about building your [[foundation]] and starting with the [[individual]], so too, must leadership [[focus]] on the [[individual]]; that you must be within your being your own leader. You must follow within your own personhood that which brings you into forward, [[progressive]] [[movement]]. When you have in your [[mind]] framework certain goals, certain [[Ambition|aspirations]], then you put together those [[things]] that will propel you to achieve these goals. And these goals not only [[center]] on your human aspects, but ever more importantly on your spiritual [[growth]], your spiritual [[enlightenment]]. And this is the leadership that I call upon you tonight to look into; to set your goals high; to aspire to those things which you know to be right.

And follow then the leadership that is given to you through your own personality and through the Indwelling Spirit within. When you come to the Father in stillness, you will know, you will feel, you will come to understanding about that which He leads you. And when you are led by the Spirit, then that which is important, that which you have set as goals in your inner life can then be manifested in the outer with your human nature. So it becomes important to become your own leader, to lead yourself, to follow those things that will keep you in that alignment with the First Source and Center. If you can remain true to this you will know what Christ Michael came to spread the news about; that the Kingdom of the Father is for all; that you and your brothers and sisters are a part of a grand purpose; that which can combine with your humanness and spiritualness becomes who the Father has wanted for you to become. This then is the leadership that I want for you all to understand, to lead yourselves along that right path.

And follow then the leadership that is given to you through your own [[personality]] and through the [[Indwelling Spirit within]]. When you come to [[the Father]] in [[stillness]], you will [[know]], you will [[feel]], you will come to [[understanding]] about that which He leads you. And when you are led by the Spirit, then that which is important, that which you have set as goals in your [[inner life]] can then be [[manifested]] in the outer with your [[human]] [[nature]]. So it becomes important to become your own leader, to lead yourself, to follow those things that will keep you in that [[Attunement|alignment]] with the [[First Source and Center]]. If you can remain true to this you will know what Christ [[Michael]] came to spread the news about; that the Kingdom of the Father is for all; that you and your brothers and sisters are a part of a [[Majestic|grand]] [[purpose]]; that which can combine with your [[Humanity|humanness]] and [[Divinity|spiritualness]] becomes who the Father has wanted for you to become. This then is the leadership that I want for you all to [[understand]], to lead yourselves along that right path.

And also we will now look at the other kind of leadership, that which you are already very much aware of; you, the individuals that lead others, whether it be in a spiritual realm or in the outer world of your human life. When you, my friends, are a rock, when you, my friends, have your foundation built, you rise above others. You become the tree that they gather fruits from. For in your foundation you are producing those fruits that will provide nourishment to others. And so you become a leader. You become one that others look up to, to follow so that you are a beacon for them.

When you, my friends, are a rock, when you, my friends, have your [[foundation]] built, you rise above others. You become the tree that they gather fruits from. For in your foundation you are [[Co-creation|producing]] those fruits that will provide nourishment to others. And so you become a leader. You become one that others look up to, to follow so that you are a beacon for them.

Christ Michael, when He was on this plane, was the leader that others looked to. And before He left He inspired His followers that they would not have to look to others to lead them, but that when He sent this Teacher to them, the Spirit of Truth, that they would then be able to lead. And so the Spirit of Truth is upon all of the land for all time and you, my friends, are preparing yourselves, learning, growing, becoming, so that you can be led by the Spirit of Truth, not relying on others, going inward and being led by the Spirit.

Your mission at this time is to build who you are capable of being so that when there are those storms in the outer world, you can follow the leadings of the inner world and not be pulled down by the calamities, the ups and downs of your human life. You will, and can be the disciples of today that can help bring new wondrous leadership to those who need nourishment, to those who cry out. Build yourselves for you will be called upon to be that rock for others in many, many different ways.

Build yourselves for you will be called upon to be that rock for others in many, many different ways.

My friends, those of us who are teachers are experiencing great hope and great receptivity by those who listen. And we foresee that you will be ones who will begin to make these great changes occur. We have much faith in you, just as you have faith in the Father, that what He decrees will be and that all, all ends in a plan that He has prepared.

And so think this week upon building yourselves and calling upon you, the individual, the leader within yourself; that you can follow your spiritual plane; that you can lead yourself upward and outward on the path; that you will be strong within; that you will know those things that Christ Michael has brought to us: love, mercy, tolerance, forgiveness, loyalty, and genuine loving service to your brothers and sisters. Lead yourselves down those paths for they are the path of harmony to the First Source and Center.

And now I will end this lesson. You who will be leaders, you who are the 'rocks', will continue throughout this life and in your [[morontia]] [[ascent]] in following your inner leadership. Begin now following and listening to the dictates of your [[Indwelling Spirit]] which you will someday be [[Fusion|fused]] with. His leadership is now within you. Know that with it and you, you can never be alone. You always have support in all your endeavors. I will now accept questions.
