Is Barack Obama A Lightworker?
Barack Obama a lightworker? Well that might be a stretch. This post is not about politics. It’s about next age, enlightened being, spiritual awakening stuff. I look for it everywhere. I look for signs of change. Mark Morford of SF Gate offered a perspective questioning whether Barack Obama was a lightworker. Whenever I hear the word lightworker my ears perk up.
Mark is known for his capital “L” Liberal viewpoint and some say a lightworker himself. Here’s an excerpt from his article:
“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.”
Sounds like next age stuff to me!
Obama’s tag line is about change. Possibly not the change that I am hoping for, but any change has the capability to create awakening. I haven’t had much exposure to Obama so to say whether he is or isn’t a lightworker is not for me to say but Mark’s perspective of him is pretty cool.
I look at the world and it’s cultures from a wide angle, so here are some wide generalizations. We, in North America, have the most waking up to do. We live in a material culture where the priority is amassing stuff. That means we are usually judged by how much we own. We have a survival of the fittest mentality which makes us compete to be the fittest.
European cultures are similar but have a broader set of priorities that puts quality of life, concern for the environment and a feeling of unity, harmony and co-operation with their fellow man as being more important than material wealth. A step up on the ladder of ascension.
The rest, being older cultures, live out of a more enlightened set of priorities where spirituality, family and enjoyment of life come before money. Their daily discussions and interests lay in deeper subjects of the meaning of our existence and of course how politics affects their world. How many times have you heard the statement. “They have so little yet they seem so happy.” That is the result of evolving into the changes that I describe for the next age human. In fairness, they have had more time to get there.
These, as I have stated, are wide generalizations. It’s easy to pick these descriptions apart. I am only using them to talk about North America being the culture on earth that has the most changing to do. That’s not to say that it isn’t up to each individual in every culture to find their path because we are all in this shift together. There are signs that North America as a culture is now ready for that change.
External influences like the price of gas or the price of food or maybe a new President of the United States may be what is needed for us to stop and examine our priorities. Look at how we live and interact with each other. Look at the meaning of a human lifetime and where we fit with humanity as a whole. Changing from living out of separateness and fear of others that are different than us, to a life of unity, love and co-operation.
Is Barack Obama a lightworker? I hope so. I hope that the change he speaks of will happen. I am realistic in the idea that he is not a ‘messiah’ and is not the key to our awakening. But I do know that change is what’s needed so whatever form he brings will be appropriate for our journey. It’s not one man who will accomplish the kind of change that I foresee. It will only happen one by one. If he does become the leader of what I call North American society and he is truly enlightened, then he may play a major role in bringing us to, as the Hopis Indians call, the Great Shift.
Is he a John Kennedy or a Martin Luther King as Mark suggests he may be? Does he carry a higher vibration? From my vantage point the timing is right for North America to change. Barack Obama may be the nudge we need.
The universe has a knack for perfect timing.
