The story is about finding our truth, living the destiny of that truth and having someone who cares sufficiently to create the space to manifest our truth. This story is the story of "The Leopard Cub:"
There was an infant leopard cub that found it way to a flock of sheep. Being helpless and harmless, the sheep raised the cub as one of their own. The cub did not know he was a leopard. He ate grass along with the sheep and followed the flock.
One day a male leopard pounced on the little flock. The sheep instinctively scattered in terror. The little cub was not a sheep. He felt no instinct to run. Nor was he an aware leopard. So, he just stood there. The adult leopard saw the cub standing there and asked, "What are you doing living among the sheep and the lambs." The little leopard cub roars "baaaaaaa" and goes back to nibbling the grass as he learned to do.
The male leopard was beside itself. It took the cub by the scruff of the neck and carried him to a pond. The male leopard screamed "Look! Look into the pond. What do you see? "In the past, the leopard cub only drank from the pond. It never really looked to see who he was. For the first time the little leopard cub looked over into the pond to see who he was. The cub was surprised. He did not look like the sheep. Nor did he look like the lambs. Puzzled he asked, "Who are I if I am not one of the sheep?"
The leopard looks over into the pond with the little cub and roared loud roar. "You are like me, a leopard. You are a king of the. "The leopard cub asked," What is a king? "The leopard looked at the cub and said," Roar! "The little cub attempts to roar but only utters a strong but pitiful," BAAAAA ! "The leopard would have rolled over in laughter if the situation was not so sad. With that, the leopard takes the cub again by the neck and carries him off to its den where there are the remains of a recently slaughtered kill.
The leopard takes a piece of the bloody meat and tells the cub to eat it. The cub replied emphatically, "I don't eat that stuff - whatever it is, I eat grass." The leopard then opens the cub's mouth and shoves the meat down its throat. The young cub gags on the taste and texture of the meat. Although meat is the proper food for the cub and supplies the nutrients the cub needs to activate his instinctive system he gags and chokes. However, the taste of cub's natural food moves the cub to have a spontaneous response. The cub utters a weak but recognizable, "roar."
As the young cub recognized his true essence, he follows his instincts. He goes to find his first kill. In finding and obtaining that kill, the young cub utters a profound and loud, "ROAR!" And the cub becomes its destiny.
You, as all of us, are that leopard cub that has been living among the sheep. You need to be transformed like the leopard cub. You need to transform yourself and your world. To do that, you need to take a deep look at who and what you are to transform who and what you think you are. You need to go to that pool of water that will reflect back to you who and what you really are. You will find that pool of water is within your own being and you will have to calm the pool to see the reflection. But the calm pool is not stagnant, rather it is the calmness that arises in aligning within the flow of energy that is sustaining your being and the source of your creative power.
As that leopard cub, you will still be in this world and your body will be the same but you will have a completely new way of living and being in the world. You will have a new circle of friends. Some of your old friends may now fear you for you may destroy them and eat them as a leopard would eat a lamb. And you may eat them for you may still be in their life to transform them. When others see that you can destroy your past identity to claim your destiny and birthright, they will know they too can do the same. But transformation may be too frightening for them. It is the equivalent of being a lamb and being eaten by a leopard, who as a cub, lived and played in their world. Yet they too are leopard cubs if they learn how to take off their mask and clothing of the sheep which they wear.
