Is The Universe Aligning For An Obama Win?

I always look at world events from the perspective that we are shifting into a new reality and completely changing how we, as humans, act and react to the world around us. With that in mind I want to offer my perspective of what’s happening in the U.S. right now. I am from Canada and realize that US politics is not my business but I want to show you how I see the latest events in the bigger sphere of the awakening world. It sure looks to me that the universe is aligning for two things to happen. One is the downgrading of American economic power in the world. The other is that it seems like the sychronicites of the past few weeks are pointing towards helping Barack Obama become President.

Let me repeat what I have said in the past about North America. We, and that includes Canada, and to a lesser extent Europe, have been living in a society of separateness, competition and consumerism. I have also said, for humanity to get to the next step, we in North America would have to completely change our way of being. Compared to many other societies in the world, we have the most work to do. So what I’m about to talk about is not an attack on the US but merely observations with this premise in mind.

I wrote a post a while ago called Barack Obama - A Lightworker. That was probably stretching it a bit because I don’t see Obama as a fully awakened human… yet. He certainly does feel more in line with the new energy than his opponent. The US, since Bush, has taken a huge blow to it’s reputation in the world. They are looked at as aggressive and manipulative. A lot has to do with their foreign policy but also their economic strength. Not many people like the bully on the block.

This is not news. It has been observed and written about by many. There was a poll done in other countries about who they would like to see win the US election and the numbers were, on average, 60% wanted to see Obama elected with 12% for McCain. This says a lot to me about how an Obama presidency could go a long way to repair the reputation of the U.S. around the world.

I also know that with Obama as President, my perspective of a wholesale change in western society becomes much easier to accomplish. You can be a cynic and paint all politicians with the same brush and say nothing will change, but I like to look from a positive outlook knowing that there needs to be a big shakeup for my vision to happen. I also see the recent events in the US economy from this same viewpoint.

Since the breakup of the Soviet Union, the US has been, by far, the most dominant country in the world. It has virtually dictated it’s policies to the world. The reason for this dominance, in my view, is because of their economic power. With economic power comes the ability to have the military power to enforce their wishes. I talk about the awakening of the world to a new paradigm of unity, tolerance and co-operation. A new age where we know that we are one and there is no one entity that is better or stronger or wiser than the other. Where there are no borders or separation between us and where we can acknowledge our unity yet allow individual truths. How can we accomplish this when one country has so much power over all the rest.

This may be touchy for some Americans reading this but I feel that it is one thing needs to happen. The US (including Canada) needs to have it’s power more in harmony with the rest of the world. It needs to have it’s economic status more in line with the others. With a more even playground the bully status will be gone. We can’t have a world bully if we are to recognize our unity.

It seems that we North Americans need to be hit in the wallets before we can stand back and examine what is important in life. Sure, if life is equated to how many things we can buy then there will be tough times for people with that perspective. It’s in the times of chaos where things change. Where introspection yields a new set of priorities and possibly the change that I have spoken about so many times.

If we can look past the immediate “crisis” of the situation and look at it from a bigger picture it may help make sense of what is going on.

Is this bail out just the beginning of a shift in the world’s economic power distribution? A shift where we will all deal with each other as equals. Or is it the beginning of a complete change of the world economic system and how we interact with this energy called money?

Does there have to be something or someone to blame? If there is blame to hand out, then it has to be equally shared. Not just by governments or greedy bankers, but by all of us who took that easy credit without really knowing whether it can be paid. Using it to buy the things that we felt we needed to be happy or successful. Can you see that the thing that may bring North American power more in line with the rest of the world, is the one factor that needs to change to accomplish a shift from our infatuation with consumerism to a whole new way of being. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Seems to fit in the puzzle for me.

This economic upheaval is coming at a sychronistic time for Obama. Even though, as I said, the GOP shouldn’t have to shoulder all the blame but it will probably not bode well for McCain’s chances at victory. From what I see, it can put Obama in a can’t lose position. At the very least for McCain, a guy who doesn’t know how many houses he owns, it made it tougher to separate himself from the Bush administration. This action shouldn’t have anything to do with the election because it is a situation that has been coming for a long time but I have a feeling it will. Obama certainly couldn’t have wanted this to happen but I am sure he also sees the timing as being pretty interesting. I sure do.

I like at look at events this way. It is the world helping Obama to the White House. It is mass consciousness at work. It’s funny that his mantra is change. Mine too. Sure his idea of change is different than mine but the universe doesn’t know that. Now if Obama will only help to usher in the change that I desire.

Barack Obama - A Lightworker

June 11, 2008 · Filed Under Humanity · 1 Comment 

This post may look like it’s about politics, but it’s not. It’s more new-age, new planet earth, 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. If 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.”

Lightworker Obama

Sounds like the change that I discuss in the New Planet Earth Series.

Obama’s tag line is about change. If only it is the same change that I am hoping for. 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 in my books.

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 have to “work” and try to attain monetary status to be deemed successful. Survival of the fittest mentality.

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 just the result of evolving into the changes that are part of our stepping into unity consciousness. They have had more time to get there.

These, as I stated, are wide generalizations. It’s easy to pick these descriptions apart as such. I am only using them to talk about North America being the last culture on earth to have a shift to enlightenment. 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 what the meaning of the human life is about. 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 so often speaks of comes about. 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 culture 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.
