Obama - Lightworker
Some of us Republicans just haven't been bitten by the Obama bug and are both amused and dismayed to listen to those who seem to see Obama as some sort of messianic being sent to save us poor benighted Americans. Think I'm making this up? Read what one San Francisco Chronicle columnist, Mark Marford, put into print about his musings about the Chosen One.No, it's not merely his youthful vigor, or handsomeness, or even inspiring rhetoric. It is not fresh ideas or cool charisma or the fact that a black president will be historic and revolutionary in about a thousand different ways. It is something more. Even Bill Clinton, with all his effortless, winking charm, didn't have what Obama has, which is a sort of powerful luminosity, a unique high-vibration integrity.Ewwww.
Dismiss it all you like, but I've heard from far too many enormously smart, wise, spiritually attuned people who've been intuitively blown away by Obama's presence - not speeches, not policies, but sheer presence - to say it's just a clever marketing ploy, a slick gambit carefully orchestrated by hotshot campaign organizers who, once Obama gets into office, will suddenly turn from perky optimists to vile soul-sucking lobbyist whores, with Obama as their suddenly evil, cackling overlord.
Here's where it gets gooey. Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul.
The unusual thing is, true Lightworkers almost never appear on such a brutal, spiritually demeaning stage as national politics. This is why Obama is so rare. And this why he is so often compared to Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., to those leaders in our culture whose stirring vibrations still resonate throughout our short history.
Are you rolling your eyes and scoffing? Fine by me. But you gotta wonder, why has, say, the JFK legacy lasted so long, is so vital to our national identity? Yes, the assassination canonized his legend. The Kennedy family is our version of royalty. But there's something more. Those attuned to energies beyond the literal meanings of things, these people say JFK wasn't assassinated for any typical reason you can name. It's because he was just this kind of high-vibration being, a peacemaker, at odds with the war machine, the CIA, the dark side. And it killed him.
Now, Obama. The next step. Another try. And perhaps, as Bush laid waste to the land and embarrassed the country and pummeled our national spirit into disenchanted pulp and yet ironically, in so doing has helped set the stage for an even larger and more fascinating evolutionary burp, we are finally truly ready for another Lightworker to step up.
Let me be completely clear: I'm not arguing some sort of utopian revolution, a big global group hug with Obama as some sort of happy hippie camp counselor. I'm not saying the man's going to swoop in like a superhero messiah and stop all wars and make the flowers grow and birds sing and solve world hunger and bring puppies to schoolchildren.
Please. I'm also certainly not saying he's perfect, that his presidency will be free of compromise, or slimy insiders, or great heaps of politics-as-usual. While Obama's certainly an entire universe away from George W. Bush in terms of quality, integrity, intelligence and overall inspirational energy, well, so is your dog. Hell, it isn't hard to stand far above and beyond the worst president in American history.
But there simply is no denying that extra kick. As one reader put it to me, in a way, it's not even about Obama, per se. There's a vast amount of positive energy swirling about that's been held back by the armies of BushCo darkness, and this energy has now found a conduit, a lightning rod, is now effortlessly self-organizing around Obama's candidacy. People and emotions and ideas of high and positive vibration are automatically drawn to him. It's exactly like how Bush was a magnet for the low vibrational energies of fear and war and oppression and aggression, but, you know, completely reversed. And different. And far, far better.
A grown man wrote that stuff. And he has a job working for a major newspaper. In San Francisco, but still a professional writer actually produced that swill. It staggers the mind. All I can hope is that one day, when he's older, Mr. Morford will be might embarrassed by all that rot.
But with people actually feeling the magnetic presence and vibrational energy of the Lightworker, how can grumpy old war hero John McCain compete?
And can't you just picture what it would be like if Obama were to be president. Any time we criticized him for anything, we'd be told that we were just distractions from the lightgiving work that the Blessed One was doing for us. Any of his failures would be because those mean and dark Republicans were stopping him from using the Force to save us. And there will be failures and bills that won't get through and nominations that will be blocked. Because that is the way that politics works. And the Democrats have used every tool to their advantage when they were the minority and taught the Republicans a few lessons about how to block action. Perhaps most of the Congressional Republicans won't have the guts to go against the Lightworker, particularly in the early days. But there will be few hardy souls who will oppose him as well as conservative writers and bloggers. Not having drunk the Kool Aid, we will be like those characters in a science fiction movie who haven't been taken over yet by the pod people. I feel as if I've seen this movie before, except then there were light sabers and stirring music. Now there are just TV pundits murmuring in awe at the power of the Lightworker. Blech!Labels: Obama
