The Magic in Obama’s Election

November 13, 2008

The magic in the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States is not in that he is a black man, awesome as that is, but that he is the spokesman for the evolution of consciousness on planet earth. He is our personal story of how people choose a new life path, leaving behind old values and beliefs, picking and choosing their way to a new kind of life. He speaks what we know in our hearts; that we are One and that in order to save our planet we must work together from our highest wisdom Self. The ancient thought form of ‘mine not yours’ is no longer viable, nor has it ever been. The language of fear has no place or time in a world posed on the delicate balance of ‘make or break’. We, in large numbers, have now chosen the opportunity ‘to make’. Systems theory helps us understand that none of us can fully see the culture that is emerging. It’s a process. It’s a birth. And we have to work together to get from here to there. What we do know, and from here it is where we start, is that the new ‘buzz’ words for our future are care, compassion, nurture, kindness, generosity, inclusion, listen, share, heal, and beauty. We know that strength no longer comes from ‘power over’ but ‘power with’. We are moving from a dominator society to a partnership society. We are not celebrating a new ‘savior’ but that each of us is a perfect and important piece to the puzzle of our Now and the future of the next seven generations. Peace will prevail.
