Without doubt, and this trauma generally seems to result in people shutting down their mental processes, forsaking their reason, talents and abilities in favor of the very beliefs and practices that inflicted the trauma. Is this not the same majority that held our last President in such esteem? Are these not the same flock so tenderly cared for by the bishop with his crook and crown? The Vatican or a Mullah speaks and millions bend their knee and beat their breasts or go beat someone else's. It's a vicious cycle that may as you say be impossible to bottom. However, I am not the only one to notice that Obama included non- believers in his Inauguration address. Maybe it's not so impossible after all because, after all, fifty three percent of them elected him. Go BO! I think he is the one. I've noticed that it often takes some inspired leader to move us forward to the next level of society and civilization, someone to come forward and -- like prayer and meditation can be used -- inspires us, galvanizes us to a greater effort resulting in a higher state of being. Not all of us, but enough to make it significant, to make it work. I just happen to think Obama's the one for this time and this place. But I'm not alone in that belief, obviously. /e --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
