Remember the 4th of November 42

All this talk about the $700 bil­lion bailout plan and the eco­nomic cri­sis is going to reach its peak very, very soon.

Yes, I’m talk­ing about the Pres­i­den­tial Elec­tion on the 4th of Novem­ber. And while I’m sure you’ve already for­mu­lated your own opin­ions and rea­sons for what action you’re going to take on that day, believe me on this — you absolutely must see what one very promi­nent man has to say about it all:

Neale Don­ald Walsch is a mod­ern day spir­i­tual mes­sen­ger and author of the best-selling Con­ver­sa­tions with God series of books, an incred­i­ble com­pi­la­tion that has changed the lives and per­spec­tives of mil­lions across the world.

Now you know me — I’m not going to take sides or get into any overly polit­i­cal dis­cus­sions, but his mes­sage makes more sense to me than most of the other opin­ions I’ve been hear­ing lately.

Just visit the link below to down­load a free, exclu­sive inter­view with Neale, where he reveals his choice for Pres­i­dency, the beliefs that have caused Amer­i­cans to make the wrong choice, and much more:

Neale Don­ald Walsch Interview

How do you feel about this? What will you have in mind when cast­ing your vote?

I’m doing my best to help us all get through this, and that’s why I need to hear your con­cerns. So please leave your com­ments in the box below.

Here’s to our future,

Burt

P.S. And as you remem­ber, I cre­ated my pro­file on face­book. I’d love to have you as my friends…please add me!

Linda says

Obama is a social­ist baby killer. He will be the most pro-abortion pres­i­dent we have ever had. He sup­ports par­tial birth abor­tion where babies that are full term are deliv­ered part of the way, then scis­sors are inserted into their heads in order to suck out their brains and destroy them. This is mur­der and this is inhu­mane also! Obama evens pro­motes infan­ti­cide — the killing of babies that sur­vive abor­tions. Both are bar­baric and not much dif­fer­ent than what was done to Jews in the Holocaust.

Babies can­not speak for them­selves and can­not defend them­selves. How hor­ren­dous that we have elected a pres­i­dent who dis­re­gards human life and wants to take the killing of sweet inno­cent babie to a new level.

Saida says

I was born an raised in the for­mer USSR. I think peo­ple like me should know what social­ism is. Unfor­tu­nately, some of them just lis­ten to McCain’s inter­pre­ta­tion of Obama’s poli­cies as social­is­tic, and never bother to deeply check issues by them­selves and under­stand that there’s no anal­ogy in Obama’s poli­cies to social­ism we have expe­ri­enced. If Rus­sia and other coun­tries sup­port Obama that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be a pres­i­dent of this coun­try. It may mean that they have hopes that Obama won’t con­tinue the poli­cies of the United States as an impe­r­ial power, he won’t inter­fere with polit­i­cal choices of other coun­tries, and the U.S. won’t be stag­ing inter­nal changes in those coun­tries to ben­e­fit this country’s interests(dictators shouldn’t be sup­ported even if that ben­e­fits us-that’s wrong, and it backfires).

bryan says

wait peo­ple we are not with him ( obama) noway take more moment and think again we dont need some­one to speak about us or a new voice we need per­son who do what help us to stay ever and ever tha best coun­try amer­icns dont need who speak about us we are tha best peo­ple we need who tell this to oth­ers countries;and im not with tha other too

Stephanie says

Hmm. How quickly polit­i­cal issues ignite. As an asso­ciate edi­tor for a news site I have been help­ing research the Obama birth cer­tifi­cate ques­tion. So far the cer­tifi­cate pro­duced is not the one signed by the deliv­er­ing physi­cian. Could it be that he actu­ally was born in Kenya to a woman too young to pass along nat­ural cit­i­zen­ship as set forth by the law? Did Obama legally change his name from Barry Soe­toro? If not, the name on the bal­lot may be invalid. But the biggest prob­lem I have with the Sen­a­tor is this: In ’98 Obama sued Citibank under CRA (Com­mu­nity Rein­vest­ment Act) to force banks to make high risk affir­ma­tive action loans. The very loans that are at the root of the finan­cial dis­as­ter we are all going to be pay­ing for for years to come. McCain sup­ported leg­is­la­tion that would have reined Fanny and Fred­die in, but to no avail.
Polit­i­cal can­di­dates can promise the sun, moon and stars, but to actu­ally deliver any promises takes a sup­port­ive Con­gress. We get pork instead.
They can dress the can­di­dates up and show them off to advan­tage, I pre­fer to look at past accom­plish­ments — or fail­ures, but most of all the truth, which hope­fully will see the light of day in time.
I won­der what our found­ing fathers would think of this coun­try as it has turned out.

Once a gov­ern­ment is com­mit­ted to the prin­ci­ple of silenc­ing the voice of oppo­si­tion, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increas­ingly repres­sive mea­sures, until it becomes a source of ter­ror to all its cit­i­zens and cre­ates a coun­try where every­one lives in fear.“
– Harry S. Tru­man, mes­sage to Con­gress, August 8, 1950

May we be guided in light on 11/4

Dear Amer­i­cans!

I was born an raised in the for­mer USSR. Do you think russian-americans are going to vote for Obama? Think again. Over 80% of us are vot­ing for AMERICA!!! And we are not reach peo­ple by all means — we are just hard work­ing Amer­i­cans, most of us came to this Fab­u­lous Land with ONE(!) suit­case and about $100 in ou pocket — my Eng­lish was ZERO!! If we culd make it — EVERY sin­gle AMERICAN with spo­ken ENGLISH can become a mid­dle class per­son. The Motto os Russ­ian Rev­o­lu­tion was “Lets get rid of rich peo­ple” — dont you think he con­try would be bet­ter off if we would not have poor peo­ple??
Social­ism DOES NOT work!!! We know it first hands! Even the USSR is no longer there. It took them 70+ years to show the Entire World — DONT GO THAT DIRECTION!
If Obama would apply to FBI posi­tion he would not pass the secu­rity check. He never pro­duced any­thing in his life — never being an enter­pre­neur. He bought $2.5M house being com­pen­sated by our tax money! not bad life! Tax­ing those who pro­duce work­ing places is a sick idea!
Dont vote for a man who is sup­ported by Rus­sia, Europe, Hamas, His­b­bo­lah — they hate us! Thank you

Mary Madeline says

Wow, this cer­tainly has struck a cord in almost every­one. What a charge we have on this, not only elec­tion, but pol­i­tics in gen­eral! (Let’s tap on it — and release this emo­tional charge that is com­ing up)! I believe you should go with your heart in this mat­ter and that vot­ing is important.

My life started in Nor­way — born and grew up there. I have lived in France, Italy and Ger­many before I came to the USA and went to Col­lege. Also trav­eled to many coun­tries in Europe. What I found is, that it does not mat­ter where you live, you will find the good and the bad — but what are you going to do about what you don’t like? I have now been liv­ing in the US for 18 yrs and am a proud US cit­i­zen. Not because I think US is bet­ter then Nor­way or any other coun­try, but I met my hus­band and we have two beau­ti­ful chil­dren. And I made the choice to stay.

As men­tioned by some­one else we are ONE, and we all helped to cause this mess — YES, we are all in on it. It is played out by cer­tain indi­vid­u­als, but the our thought and feel­ing about the world cre­ated what we are going through. So now we have to look at this like a mir­ror, start releas­ing all of our fears and wor­ries and find grat­i­tude and love — and make that grow stronger. There is a shift going on and change has never been easy for us humans. Change many times cre­ate fear in many forms, because we have to get out of our com­fort zone.

Are we all doing what we are sup­pose to? Prob­a­bly not, with Burt’s method, go into Alpha zone & ask you higher self (from heart cen­ter) what is the best choice from Love and I believe things will work out the way it is sup­pose to. Every­thing is in per­fect order from our thoughts and expec­ta­tions. If we don’t like it — we have to change it, but start­ing with our­selves, then every­thing else will follow.

What my charge is on (all) the elec­tions, is how much money is spent and wasted, that could be used else where. And also that there are other peo­ple on the elec­tion bal­lot to choose from, but we don’t hear much about those indi­vid­u­als. WHY? Is it because they don’t have all that money that the Repub­li­can or Demo­c­ra­tic can­di­dates have? What would hap­pen to the elec­tion if we had the other can­di­dates from other par­ties, be able to be on the debates and TV to tell their story and changes they want to see for the coun­try? Why do we rely on only TWO.

To me nei­ther is show­ing me any Great­ness, that I am look­ing for. With my heart I will vote and pray for the ben­e­fit of this coun­try and the world. And keep on work­ing on myself to clear all my lim­it­ing and neg­a­tive beliefs and emo­tions that are com­ing up. My goal is to live with uncon­di­tional LOVE, then there is no room for judge­ment, because we are all of the same Light, Uni­verse, GOD, Divine, what­ever you call it. We are just cov­ered up with so much sot (our writ­ing on our walls — our belief sys­tems) to not be able to clearly see the full picture.

Have a Blessed Elec­tion. Thank You for reading.

I LOVE YOU,

Rev. Mary Made­line Day

r says

I agree with Neale and
I am so dis­ap­pointed at the lack of thought­ful­ness on the part of oth­ers who have responded to you.
I am per­son­ally see­ing the seri­ous results of the last 8 years of a repub­li­can pres­i­dency.
Do not peo­ple want life in this coun­try to improve?
Do not peo­ple want the rest of the world to look at us in a bet­ter light than now?
Inter­est­ing to learn today that Osama bin Ladin wants McCain to win because oth­er­wise it shows that our coun­try is open to a black can­di­date win­ning .….….……show­ing that our coun­try is becom­ing be more tol­er­ant and chang­ing for the bet­ter?
Greed is a dri­ving fac­tor. The intel­lec­tual level of this coun­try, unfor­tu­nately, is not mov­ing fast enough.… and as we were not ready for high level ide­ol­ogy in the past it seems we still are not ready.

Mel says

Get over your­self richard…most things in life are more impor­tant than black or white…that is an old shoe that has been beaten to death. Change is good, but most of the time things are what they seem to be. Hitler also preached a new was of life and look what Ger­many ended up with? Be very care­ful what you wish for…you just might get it. Look deeper into a mans char­ac­ter other then color, and what in it for you. You may not like what you see…Dont throw away your coun­try, and your way of life…just because its not perfect.…nothing is!

Richard says

The U.S. needs a big change — a shakeup if you will — because things are look­ing grim world­wide due to the country’s mas­sive igno­rance. Also, a com­ment to Bill who posted on Octo­ber 22nd: Seems to me that your 80 years on this planet have yielded no growth. Why don’t you just admit that the rea­son you rather not see Obama in office is because he’s black?

H.V.R says

Spitu­al­ity and Pol­i­tics can­not be dis­so­ci­ated .
What we are going to have in our day to day lives depends on polit­i­cal rea­sons and deci­sions .
So it’s good to have Spritual teacher’s like Burt giv­ing us insights and his Expe­ri­ence on what To DO in order to make our lives BETTER AND BETTER .
Keep it Up !
ALWAYS

Laura says

Sen­a­tor Obama has shown the Amer­i­can peo­ple his basic char­ac­ter over these past 20 or so months as well as Sen­a­tor McCain. He too has shown his char­ac­ter as well and I am not going to blindly look at his POW sta­tus which is con­ve­niently brought up by him when he feels that he shouldn’t be ques­tioned at all about any­thing includ­ing his expe­ri­ence of being the Pres­i­dent. My point is this; Unless you live on Mars, most Amer­i­cans have heard the speeches and the tones from each one and the actions of these men. Many con­ser­v­a­tives are vot­ing for Obama because of Sen­a­tor McCain’s jus­ti­fi­ca­tion and judge­ment on his run­ning mate as well as the tone of his cam­paign. If you don’t like Sen­a­tor Obama, it’s not because of him sit­ting in a pew for 20 yrs which most of the time he wasn’t there as echoed by Rev. Wright at the Press Club inter­view. This man is an African Amer­i­can and let’s face it, many of us can’t deal with see­ing a his­toric real­ity of an African Amer­i­can in the White House even though he wants to end the war and take the bil­lions of dol­lars being spent monthly over there and re-invest in this country’s infra­struc­ture, put Amer­i­cans back to work, start build­ing and pro­duc­ing prod­ucts from this coun­try again, and regain our stand­ing in the world which has been tar­nished within the last 8 years. Now Sen­a­tor McCain just on an inter­view with Brian Williams this evening con­tin­ues to mis-state this man’s pol­icy on cut­ting taxes for 95% of Amer­i­cans which are Joe The Plumber, Nurses, Police­man, etc. and if you are a small busi­ness owner he will give you a 15% tax break and you pay no cap­i­tal gains tax. Now McCain stated why would com­pa­nies want to stay over here when they can hire work­ers for less over­seas and get tax cuts? This was tonight with Brian Williams. I was stunned. I thought to myself, does this man know what he’s say­ing? He has pretty much stated he’s not even inter­ested in his base core con­stituents who are for the most part hard strug­gling Joe the plumber types who are blindly fol­low­ing him because of their prej­u­dices towards this man who if elected will work hard to help their fam­i­lies too. It’s amaz­ing to me. So my sug­ges­tion is let us all really search our hearts to see the truth for what it is and not hide behind deci­sions many of us have had to make one time or another. On the other hand, if McCain’s policy’s are your cup of tea, and you don’t care about what has hap­pened for the last 8 years then vote for McCain!!!

Mari says

I changed my party to Green know­ing very well that Cyn­thia won’t be the next Pres.
I find disin­gen­u­ous that Neal’s preach­ing that there’s a dif­fer­ence between vot­ing for one ani­mal or another. The Presidency’s one big vac­uum any­more. They really work for the cor­po­ra­tions that are now in charge around the world.
That’s why indi­vid­u­als who buck the sta­tus quo are soon out of the main stream.
Is it any coin­ci­dence that Obama declared him­self pro-nuclear energy (besides the obvi­ous dan­gers, a nuclear plant requires a super-duper coal plant to run it –coal plant, you say? Isn’t that the most pol­lut­ing form of power?…).Hum…
Is it also coin­ci­dence that his 1st speech after being anointed was to to the Israel lobby, promis­ing to “help” Israel…? Israel already receives more US dol­lars than any other for­eign coun­try but, where’s the promise of sup­port to the Pales­tini­ans? Well, I guess the Pales­tini­ans have enough pop­u­la­tion so they can just con­tinue explod­ing them­selves out of frus­tra­tion from hav­ing to live under occu­pa­tion of their own ter­ri­tory.
After all, god said that it’s not theirs, and the oth­ers are Daddy’s cho­sen peo­ple, right?
I’m Brazil­ian and have no fam­ily in either place, but friends in both — I just dis­like any kind of human or ani­mal abuse.
Admit­edly, McCain has no cre­den­tials for becom­ing pres­i­dent, being placed 5th from last of his grad­u­at­ing class of 800+. He’s more like a McPain whose tem­per seems to be about to explode at any sec­ond. Scary!
Well, after Georgie’s “bought by Daddy” diploma,it may be progress.
Palin’s record’s no more impres­sive.
Oh,Bummer! has the edu­ca­tion to prove his intel­li­gence (so does his wife), and his run­ning mate is the usual polit­i­cal
milk toast– not much to say, pos­i­tive or neg­a­tive.
So, the cor­po­ra­tions will be well served either way.
Busi­ness as usual is the order to be fol­lowed. Change’s the illu­sion we buy w/ our vote.

Saida says

Cathy, I lived in one of the republics of for­mer Soviet Union. I knew many nice decent peo­ple who had racist incli­na­tions. In many occa­sions I heard them mak­ing unpleas­ant com­ments about for­eign Negroes. I didn’t turn away from those peo­ple who were friends, col­leagues and so on. I didn’t agree with their posi­tion on this issue, that’s all. I’m choos­ing Obama in spite of the fact that I was raised in the cul­ture that didn’t favor black peo­ple. If you believe that Obama’s beliefs are of hatred, you prob­a­bly also believe that he is a ter­ror­ist and a Muslim-those things just go together in this cam­paign. Again, it is your deci­sion to make, I just shared my view.

Laura says

Well Cathy, you must be the only human being I’ve met that is so well evolved that you have done every­thing just right in your life there­fore nobody has to look at the pos­i­tives in your life because every­thing in your life is pos­i­tive. I’m in awe of your per­fec­tion. Maybe the rest of human­ity will one day reach such a pin­na­cle from their glass houses.

Cathy says

Hello,

How can a man like Ombama attend a church that preaches hate,all of a sud­den not go to that church any more & feel like every­thing in his life is ok.I ques­tion him & I do not trust him.I agree with the for­mer email that stated he took his chil­dren to that church as well.
I would not vote for him.

Cathy

George says

Let’s face the facts, both Obama and McCain are politi­cians and like all other politi­cians, they’ll say any­thing to get elected. Peo­ple like Neal Don­ald Walsh get them­selves all worked up and actu­ally believe that either can­di­date will make a dif­fer­ence. You would think that with all his con­ver­sa­tions with God, Walsh would have fig­ured it out by now. The only dif­fer­ence we can make in the world is within our own selves. Shut off the TV, put away the news­pa­per, close the polit­i­cal web­sites and put the tools that Burt teaches to work in your life. Nei­ther Obama or McCain can change your world. Only you can.

Mary K says

Ahhh… “pol­i­tics is your spir­i­tu­al­ity DEMONSTRATED!”

So true. And I, for one, am thrilled that I hear a ‘new’ voice and a ‘new’ call to step forth as a more highly evolved human being!

Thank you for shar­ing this inter­view!

EXPECT MIRACLES!

Albert Nightingale says

Thank you for the courage of giv­ing us your hon­est opinion:at least some­one wants some­thing bet­ter for this planet. Change is very often scary, but wise­dom over­comes those fears. Who­ever becomes the pres­i­dent of the U.S.A.,I hope he will open his heart to the needs of of humanity…and not only to those who have put him “power”…

Albert Nightin­gale

Carli Bauzá says

I think many read­ers (in this case mostly spir­i­tual seek­ers) are expect­ing our cho­sen spir­i­tual guides like Burt and Neale to not have polit­i­cal opin­ions, or at least not be open about them. I think this is unre­al­is­tic and self­ish, since thanks to peo­ple like them we have all ben­e­fited in our own lives. I can under­stand that the cur­rent par­a­digm of pol­i­tics and spir­i­tu­al­ity is to keep them sep­a­rate, but given the igno­rance and greed that has come to rule our polit­i­cal “lead­ers”, I think it quite per­ti­nent to receive guid­ance from more spir­i­tu­ally devel­oped human beings on this topic. Of course, whether we choose to fol­low this advice is up to every indi­vid­ual. This is not an impo­si­tion of a view, but rather an expres­sion of a highly devel­oped opinion.

The open­ness and knowl­edge that allows our teach­ers to share what has helped us on many lev­els in our lives irrev­o­ca­bly gives them a per­spec­tive from which they can see through a person’s mere words and facade and the con­se­quences of their char­ac­ter ahead of time. Many of us still can­not see that far, and thus com­plain about their giv­ing their opin­ions, which in my view, is extremely impor­tant right now. Would we rather con­sider views of some­one whose mes­sage is of peace and human devel­op­ment, or some­one who can­not see through their own emo­tional turmoil?

Burt, Neale, and all other spir­i­tual guides are human beings just like you and I, and going from what we know about them, I can see that they are sup­port­ing the pos­i­tive IDEALS and the long-term vision that are reflected through Sen.Obama, more so than him, the indi­vid­ual with such and such back­ground. The ideals and thought processes that are evi­dently show­ing through him come from a far higher per­spec­tive than those McCain has dis­played, since bit­ter­ness, intol­er­ance, impa­tience, and arro­gance have all been evi­dent through­out McCain’s mul­ti­ple per­for­mances dur­ing this cam­paign and his pre­vi­ous years in his career. A very sim­i­lar dis­play of one-sidedness is also evi­dent in his choice of VP, Gov.Palin.

This is not to say that Sen.Obama is an unequiv­o­cal human being, but given a com­par­i­son between the two peo­ple we have to choose from to rep­re­sent OUR inter­ests for the next four years, it is clear that he is much more likely to actu­ally respond to the peace and true pros­per­ity that the pub­lic wants than his opponent.

Ulti­mately it is each person’s respon­si­bil­ity to choose for him/herself whom to vote for, or whether to vote at all. Fur­ther, I think that we must all real­ize that our vote DOES count toward choos­ing what the coun­try (and the world) will be like after this elec­tion, not only for the next four years, but for as long as the results of the winner’s poli­cies will be present on this planet. At the tip­ping point in human­ity that we have reached, I firmly believe that we have the respon­si­bil­ity to edu­cate our­selves about the issues that will poten­tially cre­ate an abun­dant civ­i­liza­tion never seen before, or keep us plung­ing into fur­ther war, sep­a­ra­tion, and suffering.

To “wrong” our spir­i­tual lead­ers for voic­ing their opin­ions is to wrong our­selves, for free­dom of speech applies to every human being, espe­cially in the “free” coun­try whose pres­i­den­tial elec­tion is com­ing up.

Thank you, Burt and Neale, for all you do to improve our present con­di­tion. And thank you all for tak­ing the time to read this, whether you agree with me or not.

Stay con­scious,
Carli Bauzá.

Tom says

This video can be viewed and inter­peted in many ways, as for who to vote for it is up to you.
Com­par­ing Social Secu­rity to Hand­outs, that is not what it is for, it is for peo­ple who worked hard their whole life and con­tributed to the fund, and the “dis­abled” who would have love to have been able to con­tribute, but it is not a hand out. The coun­try needs less “hand outs” and more “hands up”, unfor­tu­nately hand­outs are made easier …

Suzette says

I may get a whole bunch of flak but I do see how impor­tant this inter­view is the aware­ness of the elec­tion out­come. Thank you & Blessings

Tim says

I have to con­cur with Bill. Char­ac­ter is the best para­me­ter to eval­u­ate these can­di­dates, and, in my opin­ion, Sen­a­tor Obama falls short.
Our respon­si­bil­ity is to work on our­selves first. A say­ing from the Tao comes to mind ” The more laws, the more law breakers”.

Karen says

When i read or hear all these so called spir­i­tual messages,it makes me believe more and more that,these so called spir­i­tual teach­ers are not the ones to lis­ten too.Many of the things said are good,but many are not.
Also i noticed,that after buy­ing one item,email after email is sent to per­suade us to buy more.So are these teach­ers out to make the world a bet­ter place, or are they just try­ing to get in the top ten rich list.Also it is so wrong try­ing to influ­ence peo­ple on who to vote for.Maybe i could teach all you spir­i­tual teach­ers how to teach inner peace,and it won‘t cost you a penny.

Jenny says

Helena and Gregg you said won­ders if Obama is not voted in if there is an elec­tion than we will be using patsy palin to drill for oil in the antarc­tic also with the con­trol of the illumanat­tis we will have world order car­ried through with mccain as the other patsy all I can say is I love ET’s and I hope they keep inter­vene­ing so we can save this planet do you know who belongs to the Bohemian Grove ? do you know we are slaves to this coun­try did you know that god had not intended for all of this 1 ruler 1 planet sys­tem ? if Mccain is voted in than we are surely doomed as a race with the Haarp and Cern projects just like hur­ri­cane Gus­tav was knocked down to not per­mit dam­age to all the oil fields in Texas they thought they used there machines weather machines to destroy but than love was deployed from Ple­dias. wel­come them in your heart call them here to help us please open your minds to the world you live in not the illu­sion of another FEAST like 9/11

Johnikin says

Obama will win by a land­slide. I am a for­mer Repub­li­can, even in the Lin­coln Club When RR was Pres­i­dent and laughed ad Clin­ton. Bush betrayed me and the coun­try and invaded a coun­try that did not invade us or have any­thing to do with 911. Palin says we will wave the white flag in defeat. HOw can we win this war. HOW?? Kill every­body? Take over the Gov­ern­ment. HOW?. Get the troups to Afgan­istan. We can’t win we can go after the Tal­iban, Al’queda but no more EYE RACK civil­ians or Marines killed. I like Mck­ain but he made a huge mis­take. If he would have had Rom­ney or even Conaleeza it would have been much bet­ter. I stand with Colin POw­ell that if she is a mom­net away from pres­i­dent, this is not accept­able. I will NOT vot for Mcain.

Laura says

To Bill, You are cer­tainly enti­tled to your opin­ion. What I believe it comes down to is this — Most Amer­i­cans have got­ten a chance to know Sen­a­tor Obama and they have seen he is a decent man who loves his fam­ily, and loves this coun­try. His mes­sage has stayed pos­i­tive and uni­fy­ing. On the other hand, John McCain’s mes­sage has been about char­ac­ter assas­i­na­tion mostly because basi­cally grow­ing up in a wealthy fam­ily and mar­ry­ing a very wealthy woman doesn’t exactly make him empa­thetic towards help­ing work­ing peo­ple and their fam­i­lies get a leg up. After watch­ing McCain my opin­ion of him is he will say or do any­thing at this time to win period. I wish that wasn’t the case, but I’m see­ing it is. As for George hav­ing a con­cern about Sen­a­tor Obama stay­ing in a church for 20 yrs. and also hav­ing his chil­dren there lets me know, based on what I’ve seen of his great love for his daugh­ters and wife, that it is true about the many min­istries in that church, and that Rev. Wright didn’t preach what was looped 24/7 on the TV every Sun­day dur­ing main church ser­vice. I don’t know to many peo­ple who haven’t grown up in a church and haven’t heard their par­ents dis­agree with the min­is­ter and his mes­sages from the pul­pit many times on any given Sun­day, yet they remained in that church because obvi­ously 90 to 95% of the other activ­i­ties were pos­i­tive, inspir­ing, and nur­tur­ing to their souls. Let’s face a few obvi­ous con­clu­sions: This is a his­toric elec­tion year and Race is still a very big fac­tor as we see the venom and hate­ful acts being said and played out onto the peo­ple in this coun­try thanks to the divi­sive, coded mes­sages from McCain and his run­ning mate Palin. Although the media doesn’t want to be truth­ful, most Amer­i­cans have watched the can­di­dates speeches and have heard and seen the way each can­di­date responds to their sup­port­ers as well as lis­ten­ing to the mes­sage that was being given. In one camp you hear a mes­sage of HOPE and UNITY for the Coun­try. In the other camp you hear CHARACTER ASSASINATION, and Racial Code lan­guage that fans the dark side of our souls. So that’s my take. Now if McCain had stayed true to his 2000 Mav­er­ick per­sona and not got down in the mud and had a true eco­nomic pol­icy that could help my fam­ily who by the way is just under $200,000 yrly, but strug­gling, I would have seri­ously looked at sup­port­ing him, but these robo­calls filled with mis­truths about his oppo­nent is not work­ing. And nobody men­tions in the media that Obama hasn’t brought up G.Gordon Liddy a true Domes­tic Ter­ror­ist who now has an AM con­ser­v­a­tive radio show which McCain has been on and praised his patriotism,so it doesn’t mat­ter if Sen­a­tor Obama spends the rest of his life explain­ing any­thing, the fact is he wouldn’t be believed by cer­tain fac­tions of this coun­try because of a sick­ness called racism that still per­me­ates small pock­ets of this society.

Chris says

Per­son­ally, I think both can­di­dates are equally use­less. I don’t think Obama has a clue any more than McCain. Sure, he makes a lot of really nice promises, but we put the chuck­le­head in charge of the nation right now because of promises (and I voted for him…needless to say that I’m disgusted.)

I’ve been watch­ing the whole dark com­edy since it started and I think now what I think then — we are in a lot of trou­ble. I’m vot­ing Nader.

(Yes, I know he’s not run­ning this time. It’s called sarcasm.)

anil p says

Frankly, we don’t have two good reli­able can­di­dates and hence I have to go for Obama. But as in first two responses, the things that bother me are: from first response: “We do need more peo­ple express­ing the Amer­i­can Dream by becom­ing self suf­fi­cient and self reliant.” And from sec­ond response:“he attended a church for 20 years with a Min­is­ter who weekly preached hate and racism. He named this man as his “Spir­i­tual Advi­sor”.
What is your answer to these two issues?

Helena Jackson says

To Bill, the first post. I see you are no fan of FDR. I assume you are enjoy­ing the fruits of Social Secu­rity. Or did you say, “Thanks, but no thanks?” This coun­try and the world is in a world of trou­ble, and I put my faith in the man with the steady hand, and that’s not the one tot­ing the polar bear killer.

Iain Walker says

As an UK cit­i­zen I don’t have a vote on 4 Novem­ber, but I am extremely inter­ested in the out­come of the Pres­i­den­tial election.

Amer­ica led the world into the cur­rent finan­cial cri­sis and into wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We do not need this type of lead­er­ship, espe­cially when our PM was weak as only Tony Blair could be.

The world needs Amer­i­cans to make the right choice now! From my point of view McCain/Palin could only bring dis­as­ter. Give Obama a chance. Bring hope to the world.

Hedy says

What peo­ple do now does speak more than what they say they’re going to do. Nei­ther cam­paign is on the side of angels, tak­ing a non­judg­men­tal view, but look­ing from a spir­i­tual per­spec­tive of unity and har­mony, which cam­paign is fos­ter­ing divi­sive­ness by label­ing peo­ple pro-American, not real Amer­i­cans? Which can­di­dates respond to their hate-filled sup­port­ers by encour­ag­ing tol­er­ance and unity, and which announce that the other is decent, but not a Mus­lim (implies inde­cent)? Which cam­paign appeals to fears and which to hopes? Which is fueled more by anger?

Greg says

I just want to add that there is noth­ing to worry about. We are all like stars, there is noth­ing that we have to do, we just need to be. And also, even if the Earth is destroyed, there are infi­nite other world sys­tems that we can be born in to. This whole world is like a snow­globe inside a room inside a vil­lage and so on, when com­pared to the non-physical dimensions.

Glenn says

The U.S. Con­sti­tu­tion says one its goals is, “To Pro­mote the Gen­eral Wel­fare”. Jesus also asks us to help the poor and to love our neigh­bors. Let your own hearts answer how you may best do that. Peace.

Greg says

I write to you from the van­tage point of a very deep per­spec­tive. I have stud­ied global his­tory, geog­ra­phy, astron­omy, Bud­dhism, and prac­ticed much astral travel and med­i­ta­tion. I have also been around since the begin­ning. My insight is that this elec­tion may mean make or break, not just for this coun­try, but the entire planet due to our inter­con­nect­ed­ness. All actions have sig­nif­i­cance, and if we want Earth to have a bright future then we can’t keep treat­ing her the way we have dur­ing the past eight years. This not about you or me, it is not about Obama or McCain, it is about some­thing much larger than all of us. We all need to get over our­selves and start to act upon what is right. We need to stop mak­ing assump­tions about peo­ple, for no one is who we think they are. EVERYBODY is “I”.
Have you ever looked at the Earth from space? How could it not be One?

Bill Houghton says

If this is an attempt to manip­u­late my vote I would never have pur­chased the mate­r­ial. Com­mon sense still holds sway in what I believe and Obama in not it.

Amy says

Burt,

Neale’s mes­sage is won­der­ful and each per­son can cer­tainly intuit what it means to him or her. This is cer­tainly a turn­ing point in his­tory — my love sur­rounds it :o ).

Thanks for shar­ing the heart­felt video.

Love,
Amy

PJ says

I can see the pre­vi­ous posts are vic­tums of the dis­tor­tions by the RNC. While like all of us who are search­ing and grow­ing we lis­ten to all ideas and then form our own opin­ions based on find­ing the truth and using our God give intel­lect to find the truth in all we are exposed to. Obama has done this and yes lis­tened to the hate and lies but formed a dif­fer­ent mind set of Love and Peace. He is try­ing to change the mind set of a whole nation that is built on greed and self­ish­ness. He is about tak­ing care of the need­ing and mak­ing those with more to share. He wants to empower every­one not just the select few. Health care is not a privlage but a right. Every­one should have one uni­ver­sal health insur­ance like the fed­eral gov­ern­ment has for all its employ­ees. The Rich Fat Kats have run wild with greed and self­ish­ness for too long as evi­dent by the whole wall street mess. Yes inno­va­tion and hard work should be rewarded but not cor­rup­tion, greed and self­ish­ness. Look at how the early chris­tans took care of one another. Not how they judged one another. That is the mes­sage of the great­est teacher Jesus Christ who spread the idea that we are to love one another and not to accept the hypocracy.

Susan says

Bill, you don’t have to deter­mine what every­one else needs, only what YOU need. We’re all in this together. The peo­ple need­ing hand­outs are your broth­ers and sis­ters and could prob­a­bly ben­e­fit from a hand­out of com­pas­sion. George, what if lis­ten­ing to hate and racism once a week for 20 years caused some­one to deeply under­stand the human mind? There is a lot of spir­i­tual teach­ing avail­able within very chal­leng­ing sit­u­a­tions. It’s like being in an abu­sive rela­tion­ship. You even­tu­ally (hope­fully) con­nect with who you really are and gain the strength required to say to your­self “Okay, I’ve had enough, learned my les­son and now I’m choos­ing to try some­thing new”.
It is dan­ger­ous to assume one’s present thought is the only right way to think about a sit­u­a­tion or per­son.
Don’t get too wrapped up in it all. Make a deci­sion that feels right to you, in the moment.
Either can­di­date will pro­vide you with a wild ride, guar­an­teed. It’s politics!

George says

What both­ers me about Obama is that he attended a church for 20 years with a Min­is­ter who weekly preached hate and racism. He named this man as his “Spir­i­tual Advi­sor”. But most dis­turb­ing is that Obama brought his young chil­dren to lis­ten to this hate­ful preach­ing dur­ing their most impres­sional years. And now, my spir­i­tual advi­sor is urg­ing me to vote for him. Interesting…

Howard says

Obama IS a new voice in a dark world. He speaks for those of us who believe the Amer­i­can dream is for all Amer­i­cans, not just the wealthy and priv­i­leged. I have seen the gap between rich and poor grow wider and wider.

Obama is not about a hand out. He’s about a hand up.

Bill says

Burt — if this is your attempt to influ­ence votes for Obama (if I read this Walsch cor­rectly) you are mak­ing a mis­take. If Obama wins because he is thought of as a new voice in a dark world, this dark world ain’t seen any­thing yet. We do not want Marx­ism to spread the wealth around. We don’t need more, so called, Class Envy. We don’t need more Gov­ern­ment doles. We do need more peo­ple express­ing the Amer­i­can Dream by becom­ing self suf­fi­cient and self reliant. I know we no longer have a UNITED States. And we are con­tin­u­ing to lose our coun­try to those who refuse to con­tribute because it is becom­ing eas­ier to live with a hand out than work for one’s keep. I have only lived 80 years, but I still remem­ber what FDR did TO this coun­try, and we don’t need more of that = we already have enought of it now.

Nanoo says

It is a ques­tion of choice. For every action we take there is a reac­tion. So the ques­tion is what is the impact on you. For me in Sin­ga­pore Clin­ton was a bet­ter choice than Bush because we are see­ing reces­sion dur­ing his reign.
