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:

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!
My name is Burt Goldman. I’m one of those “lucky people” who discovered a secret early in life. For the last 50 years, I have been traveling the world and meeting and studying spiritual masters from every inch of our planet. Now, at the age of 82, I'm ready to share with the world what I have learned. I started this blog to be able to share with you my most valuable teachings and insights I have gained over the past few decades. Here, you'll find plenty of valuable information on meditation, energy healing, spirituality, and my latest revelation, Quantum Jumping. I look forward to connecting with you and I sincerely hope you enjoy being a part of this blog.
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.
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).
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
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
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
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.
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!
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?
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

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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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
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.
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 ...
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
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".
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.
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
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.
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.
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.)
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
).
Thanks for sharing the heartfelt video.
Love,
Amy
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.
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!
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...
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.
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.
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.
