So here goes Free Your Dome Series 1:
I just caught the last of Senator OBama’s FOX interview this past Sunday. Just a couple of weeks ago FOX was whinning about him declining their interview requests…guess he gave in
Senator OBama’s most interesting response was to the question on what he’s learned since campaigning for president. He said
I’m not too high when I’m high and not too low when I’m low…I believe I have the temperament for the presidency.
- Isn’t this what the people need?
- One who knows how to maintain balance?
- If you can’t balance yourself,then how can you possibly balance the scales of justice for the people?
- And if these scales aren’t balanced,then how will we -as a nation- truly enjoy freedom?
Once balance is achieved the way ahead is made straight. When there is too much excitement your attention is drawn more into that…when there is too much depression -or any at all for the matter- you’re pulled into that. Then the vision becomes tainted and does not see reality as it really is. And since actions are based from your “visions” you end up doing things that cause unnecessary obstacles to form in your life. Therefore,you can’t be too high when you’re high and not too low when you’re low if you want to see things clearly.
But I know what you may be thinking: That’s easier said than done! When you are right in the grips of an emotion -whether positive or negative- it seems you have no choice,no other options besides the ones the emotions suggest to you at that moment. And again,you end up doing something stupid,something you’ll regret later.
So how does one escape the grips of the moment…how does one become FREE? Obviously,we can’t have freedom on a national level regardless of what the Constitution says if you’re not totally free on a personal level. Stay tuned for Free Your Dome Session 2
One Last Thought: It’s interesting that Senator Clinton called her adversary an “elitist” and that he thinks he’s smarter than the average. Jay Leno said it best:
Isn’t what you want? A guy who’s smarter than us? I mean shouldn’t that be like one of the qualifications?
