Barack Obama - A Lightworker
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
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.”

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.

Unassisted Childbirth - The Story Of Maya’s Birth
The mother, Lisa, is not a believer that the medical system can give the baby the same experience that an unassisted home birth can do. She believes that we give our power away to the doctors and nurses who do not know her body as well as she does. Childbirth is one of the most natural occurrences that we humans can experience,, but many have no trust in themselves so they hand everything over to medical establishment.
This may be a controversial post to some. I can hear the gasps of horror. “What if something goes wrong!” “The doctors knows best.” Yes I hear you. A person can “what if” any situation. We, and that includes me, believe that to bring a baby into this world that has spent nine months in a warm, dark, secure place and expose them to glaring lights, a hub bub of noise and different people prodding and poking them that the little soul doesn’t have a chance in acclimatizing to their new home. It wasn’t that long ago that having a baby anywhere but at home was just not done.
I have been involved in other conventional births that left me standing bedside holding the mother’s hand and coaching her to breathe as she yelled in pain. It was a helpless feeling as I could only watch as the doctors and nurses did their thing. Lisa calmly went through labor (what a word) without the drama that can be prevalent at “normal” hospital births.
Two years ago when Asaya was born, there was the mother and I present. The lights were low and the candles lit. Soft music in the background and for me an awe inspiring experience. Sure I went through some “what ifs” before the birth but with my new perspective on life I trusted that all would be well and kept telling myself that this was nature at it’s finest time. All did go well and we both truly believe that he got the start in life that nature intended for us.
This birth was different because this time we had a 2 year old to contend with during the delivery. We all know what 2 year olds are like. Reasoning with them is not something that works. We showed him videos of childbirth but it was hard to say how he would react. He was unbelievable. Nature took over and he sat on the bed and watched with wide eyes and absolutely no interference or request for anything. There was no candles this time as he would have liked to play with them but that didn’t dampen the experience. Two hours from the start of labor till when Maya was here suckling on her mother’s breast. Wow. Smooth as silk.

I was reading in the Globe and Mail today about how the health care system in Canada is so strained that we have to send some women and newborns to the United States because they just don’t have enough beds. In Canada, people it seems, love to run to the doctor at the first sign of any sickness. Probably has to do with the fact that it is virtually free medical insurance and universally available. My messages here on The Source For Seth are one of self empowerment.
With that empowerment comes responsibility for our selves. Instead of following the leader and giving our power away to others we will follow our intuitions and find the flow of life that is so prevalent in the natural world. We are part of that natural world. We are one with all things and therefore the lessons we can learn from nature are and always have been there.
This post is pretty personal yet if you read my other posts I always offer my experiences as examples of how I feel life on the new planet earth will be. How human behavior will differ from the duality consciousness that we have been in for millennium. This story of the home birth of Maya is, to me, just another example of self empowerment.
Some may discount “unassisted childbirth” as craziness. I have been called crazy and weird among other things for my perspective on life. I understand this. It goes against the accepted “norm.” I like to believe that we are all waking up right now and examining all aspects of our behaviors and beliefs and then not just talking about change but actually doing it every moment of every day.
This was a day to remember for me. To welcome back a soul to another human lifetime is for me a spiritually heartwarming event. My role as “catcher” was minor compared to Lisa’s but it was nonetheless very exciting and I wanted to share my excitement with anyone who has chosen to read this. Maya is a beautiful goddess who entered the world in peace and will no doubt be part of the generation that helps us all to the next step of human evolution to a world of unity, harmony and inner peace.
I believe she got a great start.
Welcome baby Maya to the New Earth.
