Barack Obama a Lightworker? (New Age Kookyness)

Outside The Beltway ^ | June 6, 2008 | James Joyner

[an amused spectator]

Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul.

Uncle Joe Stalin was a Lightworker, too - he helped many, many people evolve...

Wel-l-l-l...if you're going to get touchy...

The late astrologer Gar Osten wrote The Astrological Chart of the United States several decades ago. He did pretty well in his predictions. For example, in this year's election he saw one of the political parties splintering. He also predicted the return of the Iranian question.

But his most interesting prediction involved a religious revival at this time, based not on the old-time religion, but on New Age religion.

"...there will be a religious awakening, and important changes will take place in the spiritual and church system. There will be increasing interest is areas to do with the mind and in spiritual healing and psychic development in a religious sense. New religious leaders will come forth -- perhaps as many as three: one is likely to other than white, and one will be a woman. Science and music will be very much a part of the new religious revival..."

My personal guess is that the 3 religious leaders are Eckhardt Tolle, Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama.

We're living in interesting times.

Mark Morford: Lightworker in the loafers.

I had to look up Mr. Tolle. It seems he is also One Anointed by Oprah; his book is her selection for March of this year.

Very interesting....

Events will show whether The Astronomical Chart of the United States proves to be accurate, as well.

We think we know what New Age Religion will look like. It may not be about crystals and channeling, but about a different kind of theocracy, one led by Oprah and her minions.

The entire Obama phenomena creeps me out.

I tend to doubt that. I see a lot of crystals, aromatherapy, astrology, music therapy and "fixing auras". In other words, a lot of foolishness.

Structurally, I see it functioning as 3 teaspoons of Judaism, 1 tablespoon of Christianity and a dollop of Islam dissolved in a warm bath of Buddhism. I expect a lot of emphasis on reincarnation, past lives and the Law of Karma. (The Law of Karma states than any good or bad you do will come back to you in this life or in a future life.)

It looks to be interesting era.

Good point!

Obama could have been the love child of Jim Jones and George McGovern.

Through the miracle of Google, I see a discussion from February that points out that, “There is one candidate still left in this race who is an Earth Ally. His name is Barack Obama. Yes, thats right. Barack Obama is an Earth Ally. He is a light worker. He is a being of light. He is not conscious of this, but subconsciously he is. His speeches of change and hope are evidence of this. He is the candidate the Galactic Federation of Light would like to win.” It is also noted that “Obama is a Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member. The CFR IS THE ILLUMINATI!”

Now we know where the Ron Paul supporters went.

a light worker is someone/thing who stands on his head while he uses a light saber emanating from his genitalia to ward off the cops. it happens all the time in san fransisco. police are usually terrified.
