It's amazing to me how different people can look at the same person and get a totally opposite interpretation/reaction. My brother once told me that he thought God had raised up Bush to save our country!! And this, even towards the end! Can you believe it?
There is so much I could say on this...but I don't want to turn this thread into a political debate. There are plenty of other forums for that!
So, I shall attempt to keep my comments within the context of the Law of One.
We live in a holographic UniVerse. We mirror to one another. Ra has stated that we could all harmonize in one fine, strong moment of inspiration. What does all that really mean?
When I first heard Obama speak, I was impressed. I thought he was surely a Lightworker! But later, doubts surfaced. Conspiracy theorists (who, imo, are right about many things but also wrong about many things) told me not to fall for his slick persona - that he was really a puppet controlled by the power elite. They told me Ron Paul was our guy.
I check out Ron Paul and was extremely impressed with his sincerity, integrity, and brilliance. Whereas I had doubts about Obama, there were zero doubts about Ron Paul. No one owned Ron Paul. His loyalty was to Truth and the Constitution! He could not be bought or sold.
Alas, the media censored him (this isn't conspiracy talk but I actually saw it happen - details upon request) and, despite raising more $$ than all the other candidates, the organized parties seemed to have an agenda to discredit him.
I was devastated when he dropped out of the race. I thought we had failed to get in the one man who could save our country...and maybe the world, from economic collapse and tyranny.
During this time, I felt gripped by fear. I actually began to wonder whether perhaps I had missed the boat and had somehow gotten stuck on an Earth-lookalike planet that would now be destined for another long cycle of barbarism and violence. The future looked bleak. Alex Jones et al were pushing this bleak scenario of a one world order complete with total control of the populace...and of course the same power elite who controlled Bush also controlled Obama, didn't ya know? Concentration camps were now being built and we'd all be rounded up by Oct. 2008. There would be no election, and by 2009 we'd be living in a police state.
The more I dug, the deeper the rabbit hole got. There are numerous websites devoted to this stuff, providing compelling evidence for their conclusions.
But wait! Did anyone catch what I just said? Police state and concentration camps by 2009...hmmmm...that didn't happen did it?
We didn't have an alien mass landing either, which was 'surely' going to happen last year.
What's wrong with this picture?
FEAR. That's what's wrong with it.
While I was in the midst of fear, it all made sense to me...just like Bush being a good guy made sense to my brother. I used to email my Obama-supporting friends with website links, trying to get them to wake up to the deception they had been gullible enough to believe.
This is where I was at just one year ago.
Fortunately, I recognized that I was in the throes of fear and sought help. I asked for guidance and clarity. I made a conscious choice to get out of the state of fear and into trust and hope. I realize that being fearful was feeding the negative elite and actually contributing to the very scenario I wanted to avoid.
Q'uo answered my call in the form of a channeled session about the failed STS coup. You can see it in the 'Sessions' section. This single piece of guidance completely wiped the mud from my eyes and I realized how the game was played. I was relieved to hear that the bad guys didn't have it all wrapped up, but in fact were in their last throes! I vowed to renew my commitment to seeing the love in every moment.
There was still the issue of whom to vote for. With a new sense of clarity and a clean slate, free of preconceived biases based on faulty info, I made a conscious decision to look at the candidates with neutrality and simply observe. At this point, I realized that writing in Ron Paul's name would be throwing my vote away, and I rejected the slogan that the lesser of the evils is still evil...I made up my mind to vote for the lesser of the evils.
Then something very surprising happened. As I watched the debates and how the campaigns were run, I began to notice interesting patterns of STS & STO behavior. One side was focusing on FEAR...it was Bush all over again. Talk of good guys vs bad guys, a refusal to use diplomacy, an attitude of bullying the rest of the world, to the point of making jokes about war. It turned my stomach!
Meanwhile, the other side seemed to be taking the high road: An insistence on sticking to the issues instead of mud-slinging...And, more importantly, arguing in favor of actually - gasp! - trying to TALK to the perceived enemies!
Now keep in mind that, at this point, I didn't identify with either party. I had just come out of a mindset in which Obama was more evil than Bush! (because he was slicker) so my observations weren't based on biases, I don't think.
One of my Ron Paul 'friends' actually ended our friendship when she learned that I had decided to vote for Obama. Others shunned me as though I were a traitor! I quickly learned to not even mention it. I was still a little shaky as to how I felt about him. I found myself being defensive and saying stuff like, "Well, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt...and I'm trying to see the evil in him, I really am! But I'm just having a hard time!"
And it was true. As I watched how he treated his wife with such respect, as I saw him with his children, as I listened to his talk about peace and diplomacy, and really, really listened, what I heard were STO principles.
And this gave me hope that maybe, just maybe, he wasn't an evil STS deception after all! I decided that if this guy were really an evil puppet, then I could also start believing the fundamentalist religious people who think that whenever someone is healed because of a non-Christian method, that's it's really the devil healing them. Say, what??? Whatever happened to 'judge a tree by its fruit?' I reject the notion that we must live in fear of everything beautiful, because it 'might be the devil in disguise.'
Some of these same people still now say that if Obama succeeds in facilitating world peace, then that confirms he is the anti-Christ! Because, didn't ya know, that's what the bible predicts!
So, where is the true deception? That is the question we must ask ourselves. Are we going to cower in fear that works of peace/healing/beauty are actually deceptions of evil? Or do we embrace the very things that we know to be hallmarks of the STO polarity?
Here's what happened next: On election night, as I was watching the news footage, and keep in mind that I STILL did not have much vested interest in Obama winning, I had one of the most intense psychic experiences of my life! It came from...I don't know...because I surely didn't seek it out. I surely wasn't praying for my chosen candidate to win. I was still unsure whether I'd done the right thing by voting for Obama, or should I have made a stand and written in Ron Paul. So I wasn't like those people who were praying that candidate X win. I prayed only that the highest good for our planet would manifest.
Well, suddenly and inexplicabley I was bombarded with feelings...INTENSE feelings...of relief, joy, hope, and love. I felt that I was suddenly a radio station picking up a signal loud and clear...I could FEEL the emotions of millions of people, rejoicing! And this was before the results were even in! It was as though a huge karmic burden had been lifted...and fear had been replaced by hope. Waves upon waves of ecstatic joy swept over me...and I am certain these were real, coming from other-selves, NOT from me, because, as I said, I just wasn't that into the whole thing. These weren't my feelings. I was picking up some sort of planetary awakening and it was powerful!
I believe that something significant happened that night. It was a practice run for that 'one strong, fine moment of inspiration.' For that is truly what it was! Obviously, there were plenty of people who weren't rejoicing, so it wasn't enough to instantly transform our planet, but it WAS significant!
Does this mean that I now think Obama is perfect? No. But I now realize that, like Bush, Obama is a REFLECTION of our collective consciousness, and will be whatever we want him to be!
In other words, because a significant percentage of the world's population has chosen the principles that Obama (whether truthfully or deceptively) stands for, which are peace, diplomacy, a sustainable future, etc., I truly believe that Obama will be what we need him to be, regardless of whether he started out that way.
It's sort of like in the Oversoul Seven books, where the past was changed because of choices made in the present.
Now, when I look at Obama, I am amazed that I ever thought he could be an STS infiltrator. I just don't see it! I have searched to find the evil in him, and failed. I now question why I did that at all. Didn't I have it backwards??? Aren't we admonished to find the LOVE, not the evil? Do we not draw out the love, the good, when we seek it? Why, then, would we want to entertain the notion that someone who is outwardly doing good things (and yes, I do think Obama is doing good things - the Cairo speech alone was huge, yes, huge!) is really a fraud? Why even go there?
If evidence for deception stares us in the face, then yes, pay attention. For example, we were lied to about 911. The forensic evidence doesn't match the story. So yeah, in a clearly tangible case like that, I do think action is warranted. But a tangible case of forensic evidence proving corruption is a far cry from a nebulous "Despite what you see on the surface, Obama must surely be evil because he associates with so-and-so and we know he's evil because...because...oh yeah he's surely an illuminati because...because..." and their voice trails off because it's all based on fear and speculation!
Obama may make mistakes. Sure, speak up. We don't all agree on his economic policies. So yeah, speak up. But disagreeing on economic policies is a far cry from being an evil STS infiltrator with an agenda to take over the world! (or the anti-Christ!)
Speaking of the world, there is another issue that, imo, is crucially important, and that is what's happening to our planet. The subject of this thread, David Wilcock, thinks that the climate changes are further indications of an instantaneous shift. Perhaps. That's already been discussed. My conspiracy theorist friends think the whole global warming thing is just a hoax. ??? Yep, they really do. A hoax to further the 'one world order' agenda, which they see as inherently evil.
Just because there are changes happening on the Sun and other planets doesn't mean that humans haven't contributed to the toxic mess to the degree that our planet is really messed up right now. It blows my mind that anyone could look at how much we've poisoned our planet (and bodies) and upset the natural balance of Nature, and blow it off as nothing. How could this not affect the planet? Just because the negative elite try to exploit global warming to instill fear and seek control, doesn't mean that we didn't really pollute the planet to the degree that many species are nearing extinction and we just simply can't sustain our lifestyle much longer.
My point is: EVEN IF the 'power elite' uses global warming to further their agenda, so what? The bottom line is that a trend towards green/renewable energy is a GOOD thing. How could it not be? Regardless of the original intention regarding the political exploitation of global warming, can't we all agree that working towards a sustainable future is, helllloooo, in all of our best interests? How can healing the planet and cleaning up the mess be bad? That just doesn't compute! Look at the fruits! People coming together to create sustainable resource technologies is so obviously good that sometimes I wonder if some people aren't so caught up in fear that they'd think a trend towards a healthier lifestyle is somehow evil too. Oh wait, some do!
What I'm proposing is being less concerned about whether STS entities try to exploit global warming, or even whether or how much humans affected global warming, and more concerned about doing positive things for our planet. Why not forget about the controversy and just work together? How could working on better technologies and better utilization and preservation of resources have any down side whatsoever?
I just saw a video called Home that makes Al Gore's video look very dumbed down.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU
It was much more hard-hitting than the glossed over stuff we see on mainstream media, and painted a very bleak picture. Whereas mainstream media says stuff like "Over the next 50-100 years....blah blah blah" (and of course who cares about that?), Home bluntly states that we must do something NOW, that we have less than 10 years to avert major planetary changes that will radically affect us all.
I was feeling pretty bummed and wondering why I had subjected myself to this seeming negativity when, suddenly, towards the end of the movie, it took a positive turn. It started talking about all the positive things that are happening...the eco-city in Denmark, the windmill farms in the US, the acres and acres of huge solar panels in deserts...and WOW!!! There are many people out there who are DOING THINGS!
The movie ended on a very hopeful note, and I was brought to tears!
I was overcome with joy and appreciation for what others are doing to heal and restore our beautiful planet. And I realized that all is as it should be, in the present moment. I had to admit, that during that time I was campaigning for Ron Paul, the only issue I disagreed with him on was the environmental issue. He seemed to think that it would work itself out and was loathe to have any sort of govt. intervention. I am now glad that Obama is our president, because he seems much more aware of and concerned about global warming, and seems to be championing a shift towards green and renewable resources.
I no longer see the idea of a 'new world order' as the boogie man. A planetary govt. can be either STS or STO. Clearly, a tyrannical planetary machine would be STS...that's what they apparently have on STS planets, right? But why do so many people fear this? Why are they so freaked out about it? Well, methinks, because they know on some level that such planets DO exist...but they are gripped by fear, the very thing that could attract such a scenario, at least for them, if not collectively. We all go to the place we are the most comfortable, right? Perhaps that bleak scenario is being manifested, for those who choose it.
In contrast, look at the model presented in Star Trek: Countries ceased to exist long ago, in favor of a planetary govt. system that was, in the case of the Federation, GOOD. Is this not a crude model for an SMC?
The structure is being laid. That structure could be used for STS or STO. It's not about who's president. It's about US and what WE decide! Our collective choices determine whether our leaders further peace or initiate more barbarism. If we don't like what our leaders are doing, we must look at ourselves and see what is being reflected out into the outer world. It's not about whether Obama is a good guy or a bad guy. I now see him as a good guy. What do you see?
There is so much I could say on this...but I don't want to turn this thread into a political debate. There are plenty of other forums for that!
