Obama and the Truth and Rebirth of America

Today at my chuch they had Jack Healy talk, in honor of MLK day, an organizer who was with Dr. King back in '63. The church was packed and the vibe was high. There is something profound afoot in this country. A rebirth of what it means to be American. For years, the American flag has been polluted with torture and war and waterboarding. But something is happening, and we are returning to that shining dream inside the American Experiment.

Obama says in an article from our Findhorn friends who advocate for visionary leadership

that when he's talking the truth he can feel a special power in that isn't there if he's just being glib or clever.

i mean, it's an incredibly inspiring moment in our nation, this rebirth of what is possible.

People are pretty jaded about politics because we've been raped by savage heathens using all the sacred language to tie us in knots. And here comes Obama cutting through the clouds of illusion with spiritual clarity because he can actually talk about truth things and true issues without getting caught in a cloud of phoney language and posturing. That's was Obama's secret power in the primaries. All the other candidates felt compelled to speak in the gobbledeegook of triangulated posturing.

In the Hindu tradition, they talk about Satyagraha, or Truth Force, or Firmness in Truth. Gandhi named his movement after this and it explains alot about Obama's success.
