But of course it would have been much worse with Hilllary, what am I thinking?
Hi Jurgen
Your sarcasm seems to imply obvious stupidity for those that were not Hillary supporters, the same with those who smell a rat with the 9/11 attacks and Trumps victory heralding change. Are we to listen to you because you have many years of meditating experience, because you see visions of Obama being arrested? You may be thinking that I'm saying this because I have a chip on my shoulder because I am not able to see visions, or have not meditated for decades. Maybe I have, maybe I haven't. You are just another of the many 'sources of information' that we are able to seek guidance from. Would you agree that you are in fact one of the extremes that you talk about?:
This makes it possible that any belief, no matter how extreme, can be substantiated with fact and quotations.
In fact, I am inclined to 'believe' everything you say in your books, (I've bought and read them all) and Tom Campbell too. But my mindset is exactly what Tom encourages, open minded scepticism, until I experience things for myself,
nothing is for real! As frustrating as it must be for you, your own experience must remain just that - your own. As much as I'm a fan of both Tom and yourself, I have my own thoughts about your ideas, some I'm happy to be associated with, some not so much.
So where does that leave people like me? I like to think that all of us are equal, people that do or don't meditate, 'good' or 'bad', Muslim or Christian, Jew or Arab, we are all doing the best that we can. My 'vibes' are sometimes weak or there is nothing there, but sometimes I feel very strongly, in my gut. Not intellect, my intuition! One of these was Hillary Clinton.
I watched her in videos, I listened to what she said, I had a feeling. The same feeling that you seem to be encouraging here:
No matter what will happen after Trump and our fragile planet we live in, my hope is that we will instinctively tell right from wrong.
Would you encourage us to vote for a human being that laughed manically when she said about the brutal murder of Saddam Hussein "We came, we saw, he died!!!" She was also a blind follower of Israel's Zionists, she said that she would enforce a no fly zone over Aleppo, she would be strongly anti-Russia etc. Who is to say that the dreadful battle for Aleppo would not still be raging if she was to be inaugurated tomorrow? Or are you able to judge what is best for Syria and Iraq, like all the US Presidents seem to be able to?
Or Obama, crying crocodile tears in between mentioning himself
seventy-five times during his recent speech. Just being able to accept the Nobel peace prize without a hint of irony, while bombing the shit out of countries by 'drone'. Allowing the protestors at the pipeline to be shot and injured while saying nothing? My lefty friends all seem blind to this, or at least happy to overlook these weaknesses, as long as he and Michelle smile sweetly for the cameras.
And Trump, good ole Trump. We in the uk have been obsessed by his victory, yelling 'how did it happen'? I agree, I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him, but is he that different from the others? Is he 'worse' than people like Obama and Bush and Clinton who are very happy to bomb countries many miles away, killing foreigners of no little consequence for the sake of what? Maybe it's the threat of him suddenly kicking off ww3 that people are afraid of, who knows?
So I'll stand by my choices, or non-choices, such as they are, stupid or not. Being British they might appear to be none of my business. I wouldn't agree. The US has made itself everybody's business in my opinion.
I am much more inclined to put my money on the 'love message' that is so vividly described by many NDErs, it's plain and simple. Not wrapped in language that I find hard to understand, or with years of meditating which is surely bound to affect things. Only yesterday I was listening to Rick Archer saying that many long term meditators supported Trump. What are we to make of that? I think that we get the leaders we deserve, whether that's the US or UK. So for me, it is fitting that our leaders are insane, both Trump and May, and most of the others. Until we start to prioritise differently and choose Love over fear, I think we should just accept what we have and make the best of it, rather than whinging and complaining! ;)
