Before going to Kenya I had a dream that I was again at my friend Vincent Kituku’s school, Caring Hearts High School, outside of Nairobi and was being introduced to and greeting all of the children there. As I was introduced and spoke with them, we shook hands and spoke for a minute or so and one of the girls who was maybe 7 years old bowed instead of shaking my hand and said “My king, you have returned”.
This led to all of us sitting in a circle and each one of the children speaking about what a king or a queen meant to each of them, what it is to be a king or a queen and the overriding consensus was that it was to be of service to the people.
Knowing of their perceptions, I spoke of and showed them energetically that each of them was a king/queen and a sovereign being in their own right and no one could ever have power over them.
As that settled fully into their fields I then challenged / charged each of them to teach / show this to two others and to have them do the same for two others.
Then someone came into the group saying that a large male lion had come into the compound and was sitting at the front gate. I said, “Oh wonderful, that’s my brother and I’ve been expecting him and was wondering when he would show up”
So the children and I went out to meet him and we hugged and head-butted a bit and then he sat down and spoke to them telling them that he could feel their nervousness and fear to be in his presence, for he was a free and wild lion, and then said that if they wished they could come up one at a time and touch him, pet his mane and hug him and if they did so, it would remove the fear. Showing them that courage is not the absence of fear, it’s overcoming the fear by not surrendering to it.
