A LITTLE BIT OF OBAMA AT THE ASHRAM

Nov. 7, 2012- 8pm

I don’t really know how to describe how I felt today while I was viewing all the Facebook feeds of people commenting on the election coverage. I’ve never been so out of the loop and the journalist in me couldn’t help feeling like she was missing out on something important. Being on the other side of the world having realizations about life daily is definitely much more important to me however I still had this urge to watch Obama’s presidential victory speech on-line and so I did this evening on my little Lenovo laptop outside my room alone in the dark. I was surprised at the strong Internet connection which made for uninterrupted viewing but I was even more surprised at the goose bumps I felt popping up while watching him speak about hope. There’s a reason America voted for him. He provides hope- a reason to keep trying for something better. And it’s a wonderful message and much needed I’m sure but if only all knew the truth about life and why we’re here on this planet perhaps we wouldn’t need to put our faith and trust in one man, in one administration.  Perhaps we could rise up above politics and discover that we’re here to unite with one other, we’re here to unite with the Supreme Consciousness-The Divine in each of us. We all need to rise up and become our own leader.
