Tom, it is interesting to watch what happens when an uninitiated “king” takes the mantle and realizes that hope/change only goes so far. I personally wish the US wasn’t involved in A too. I think Obama has integrity, but he’s still got to answer to the military/industrial engines that put him in charge. Lies and politicians, hand in hand….

Well I think Obama’s lies about change has been fully exposed.
Ony yesterday he announced to send an additional 30,000 troops for afgan, yet in all his pre-election speeches he says “If I am elected… the first thing I will do is bring our troops home… thats a promise you can take to the bank.”
Well obama, your promises are obviously worth nothing… and as such being the case, if policitians continue to get away with saying 1 thing to get elected, getting elected then doing the complete opposite, why dont they just openly say on ever speech “warning, this speech is riddled with lies”.

I’m feeling hopeful now, with the inauguration a week away. And I agree with the point artifact versus catalyst. Dark days also require more charisma than economic high points, and Obama fits that bill too.

As for the demand for dreaming…. it’s never been higher!

Hey Ryan–Really fresh thoughts on this post.

I’m a bit more hopeful, because I can’t help thinking about how an economy starts with its consumers, and a shift in consciousness could profoundly increase the number and power of conscious consumers, shaking the foundations of importation at its core. But I’d also contend that Obama is just an artifact of (rather than the catalyst for) an even deeper shift in consciousness that’s happening around the planet-one that I believe Tolle is pointing to in his work. And it’s my hope that this bigger shift would decrease consumer demand through their demands to live more simply.

And of course, it might also increase the demand for dreaming

David, right you are: only time will tell.

Gyrus, I think all aspects of life are improved by a Quantum Leap metaphor. That one was great.

Most of my voting life I’ve felt very “puppet on the left/puppet on the right” about general elections. The enthusiasm of this election caught me off guard, and while it’s true that real change won’t happen in this forum, it’s reminded me of how psychologically real this transfer of power is to to the world.

Looking to Obama to “save the world” = bad idea. Being inspired by Obama to bring order and compassion to our own lives and communities = that’s more like it.

Yes, it’s not a fundamental change, but it’s good. I think of it like going through some arduous ordeal, which isn’t going to get much easier in the near future, and you’ve got a companion hologram like Dean Stockwell in Quantum Leap. He can’t help much, but he’s got some influence. And he’s there in your face a lot of the time. And it’s George W. Bush. Even though you’re just switching holograms, you’d jump for joy if it was switched for Obama.

I guess the problem is that most people don’t see that it’s just a hologram. Within a certain range, switching makes a clear difference; but most of reality is outside that range.

This is a very interesting idea that’d I’d imagine most people would not consider. However, I am not a subscriber of the view that Barrack Obama is anything different than has come before. Just because he has black skin, a very different image of him has been painted than if he was white. If you take the skin colour away, his campaign and slogans are very similar to that of Bill Clinton. Rather than looking at his skin colour, I think it is more important to look at who has funded his campaign, who he has surrounded himself with and what is ultimately more important, who he appoints to his cabinet and where their allegiances lie.

If you look at Obama’s funding you will find that he was not far off double McCain’s campaign funding. Although some of this is due to his funding from the average guy on the street and more effective online campaigning, Obama also has more funding from corporations, most notably from financial institution despite Bush’s bailout proposals that would prop up financial institution that have abused the American people to the hilt and provide all involved with immunity and no questions to be asked.

Only time will tell if Obama is going to be the next JFK or just another stooge in the White House.

I think it would be a real change in consciousness if someone like Ralph Nader or Ron Paul would have become President. Obama challenges nothing.

It will also be interesting to see if Dubya will pardon more criminals than Slick Willy before he leaves to join the gravy train.
