Welcome Back America – 3 Changes Obama Will Bring

November 4th 2008 was a historic day but not just for the obvious reasons. It was important, not only for the US, but for the world and especially as a turning point for our journey to the next age of our evolution. I’m from Canada and this blog isn’t about politics but I wrote a couple of posts about Obama. One about the possibility that Obama is a lightworker and the other that the universe was lining up for an Obama win. They weren’t political but were about how the presidential campaign and changes happening in the US both politically and economically fit into our collective journey to a spiritual awakening. Now with the election over, one more observation needs to be discussed. I believe Obama’s win will initiate three major changes that will contribute to our global awakening.

I am not so naive to think that Obama is the messiah or even a lightworker as I alluded to in the previous post. He has grown up in the old political system so may be prone to the influences by the special interest groups and lobbyists that pervade the system. That is yet to be seen as is any of the changes that he has promised in his campaign. One aspect that he has been criticized for is his lack of experience in foreign affairs. But a consistent theme I have heard from him and a major change in the way the US deals with the world is that he says he wants to talk to so-called enemies instead of dealing with them with six guns blazing while dictating how they should live. An approach of cooperation, communication and an allowing of differences all of which are aspects that I use to describe new human behaviour. This change, if it happens, will help to bring the first of the three positive results of the Obama Presidency.

The US And It’s World Reputation

It’s not news that the actions of the Bush administration has given the United States and by extension it’s citizens a negative image in the world. After the election, I was speaking to a guy from Cambridge NY who was vacationing here in Mexico and he said  that he could now tell people he was from the US instead of saying he was from Canada. I have spoken to lots of Americans while travelling out of North America that have told me that they often tell people they are from Canada. In the last 8 years the reputation of America around the world has gone from respect to one where some are embarrassed to say they are American. Such a shame that a governments actions have to reflect on its citizenry. No one likes a bully and unfortunately that is the label that has been put on the Bush administration. The election proved to me that these foreign relation tactics are not held by the majority of the people.

On Tuesday populations around the world celebrated Obamas victory. I read a interview with a man-on-the-street in Africa who said, “I thought The US was run by white people. Now I see that I was wrong.” This is the start of a new era for the US but especially for the attitude of the global community towards the US. This is a positive step for accomplishing the world unity and co-operation that are aspects of the next age.

Empowerment Of All Americans

The second change I see from the election of Obama was described perfectly by Mark Cuban on his blog – Blog Maverick. Mark is a self professed Republican that voted for Obama. This is his reason why;

Its simple. Having an elected black President will do more to energize this country than any economic or social policy ever could. In a single day of voting, our amazing country once again reinvigorated the dream that any child in this country, no matter what circumstances they are born into, can grow up to be anything they want, including President of the United States.

That dream, staying viable, being reinvigorated, will do more for this country than any economic policy or any legislation that could ever be passed.

Color Blind

The last and biggest factor that the election results demonstrated to me was that, as of November 4th 2008, the United States became officially color blind. There may be some areas of the country where race was a factor in deciding the vote but obviously by the results, the majority of Americans looked past the factor of skin color and elected the person they felt would be the best for the job. Awesome stuff, citizens of the US. I applaud you. This one factor in itself can be the catalyst for adopting the key factor of the shift – understanding we are one. When we can see past the color of skin or gender or any other seeming difference to examine the heart and intent of the person we are getting closer to the realization that there is no difference or separation. That’s unity consciousness in practice.

Energizing. Empowering people. Increasing self-esteem. Showing them that they can trust in their abilities. Understanding that people can create any reality for themselves they choose. These are all factors of the awakening human that I describe for next age. Mark may be describing this from a different perspective but we are saying the same thing.

It feels like the slate is clean. A new beginning for not only the people of America but for the world. We were all watching and cheering for the American people and they came through with flying colors. Now if we can take the feeling generated by this event  and put the promise of real change into reality, we will look back on these days as a major turning point in our awakening to the next age.
