Barack Obama - A Lightworker

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.
