OBAMA IS THE SPIRITUAL LEADER WE HAVE BEEN LONGING FOR
By Allen L Roland (about the author)
For OpEdNews: Allen L Roland - Writer Barack Obama combines the empathy of Robert F Kennedy with Martin Luther King Jr's passion for social justice and strikes a deep yearning, by both Americans and the world, for a spiritual leader who will not only unite us but join us to a universal chord of altruism, social justice and love that is deepest within each one of us: Allen L Roland It's time to tell the truth, a truth that millions of Americans deeply feel but almost don't dare to express ~ for fear of being laughed at or that it might be an illusion ~ that Barack Obama is the embodiment of a deep hope and desire for the world to finally surrender to its innate urge to unite and complete itself ~ versus fragment and destroy itself. Obama is, as such, the spiritual leader we have been longing for and by WE ~ I mean not only Americans but the world.
Europeans by almost 80% prefer Obama to McCain as the new leader of the free world because they sense what many Americans cannot see ~ Obama is a man in tune with a world that is coming together and his very presence speaks of service to a higher calling than the self serving deceptions and greed of the Bush administration and its obvious heir apparent John McCain.
Mark Morford, SF Gate columnist, recently captured this important moment in time as well as the Obama mystique ~ " No, it's not merely his youthful vigor, or handsomeness, or even inspiring rhetoric. It is not fresh ideas or cool charisma or the fact that a black president will be historic and revolutionary in about a thousand different ways. It is something more. Even Bill Clinton, with all his effortless, winking charm, didn't have what Obama has, which is a sort of powerful luminosity, a unique high-vibration integrity. "
Morford then brilliantly makes the spiritual connection which I can deeply relate to ~ for in my work as a spiritual psychotherapist I not only jump start peoples hearts but I am, in essence, training light workers.
" Here's where it gets gooey. Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Light worker, 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... The unusual thing is, true Lightworkers almost never appear on such a brutal, spiritually demeaning stage as national politics. This is why Obama is so rare. And this is why he is so often compared to Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., to those leaders in our culture whose stirring vibrations still resonate throughout our short history."
Morford concludes his article by saying ~ " But there simply is no denying that extra kick. As one reader put it to me, in a way, it's not even about Obama, per se. There's a vast amount of positive energy swirling about that's been held back by the armies of BushCo darkness, and this energy has now found a conduit, a lightning rod, and is now effortlessly self-organizing around Obama's candidacy. People and emotions and ideas of high and positive vibration are automatically drawn to him. It's exactly like how Bush was a magnet for the low vibrational energies of fear and war and oppression, greed and aggression, but, you know, completely reversed. And different. And far, far better.

The Obama Movement is real because it also touches a deep longing for our nation's original authenticity and noble origins. The last eight years under the black neocon cloud of the arrogant and self serving Cheney/Bush administration have almost erased the memory of these ringing words of Thomas Paine ~
"Never had a country so many openings to happiness as this.
Her setting out in life, like the rising of a fair morning, was unclouded and promising.
Her cause was good ~ Her principles just and liberal ~ Her temper serene and firm.
Her conduct regulated by the nicest steps, and everything about her wore the mark of honor.
It is not every country that can boast so fair an origin."
The time has also come to reclaim our noble origins and electing Barack Obama is an important part of this exciting and exhilarating worldwide transformation ~ that begins with ourselves.
How long has it been since we've felt so hopeful and so empowered ? How long has it been since we've had a true candidate of the people ? How long can we deny that Obama is the spiritual leader we have been longing for ?
