Hi Jonathan, Bruce, Hillary, S'ace, et all,

This is simply wonderful to see your references about the Spirituality at work. And given this opportunity to ponder over them. However, for the practical spirituality to prevail in any area of life including politics/ statesmanship, we must individually and collectively experience the reality of the Spirit, the Spirituality and the Integral connection. And for that to happen; in simplistic terms; we must have purity (of purpose), openness, aspiration, humility and determination. And we are so fortunate that we are seeing the President-Elect Barak Obama as a role model on a world-wide basis right in front of us. Whatever he has done so far in politics and his swift/diligent work agenda (i.e. his recent appointments in his administration..etc) clearly reflect where he is coming. In this witnessing, one cannot help but be touched with the integrity and charm of his bigger picture that makes our vision bigger. Nature is extremely benevolent in presenting us with this many life times opportunity to deeply see our position in the totality. Once it is known, we behave accordingly. Being an integral part of the Infinity as IS, we all need to recognize this connection and conduct ourselves accordingly. The Real Game has begun now and the foundation for the Direct Spiritual Connection is quite visible both to the external and inner eyes. We can all grow with it together as the gems are strung together on a beautiful necklace. I think that's what the Spiritual politics or wisdom is all about. Once we truly/deeply recognize this opportunity of the unified connection, we begin to conduct ourselves accordingly and the universe begins to shape/orchestrate itself accordingly. How about this universally powerful link?

With the connecting love of the Spirit as such for all of us........Ram

Thanks for this message Jonathan -- and also, thank you Hillary. I happened to see the Redford interview on the Rachel Maddow show. He makes the point: we're not going to drill our way out of our problems. We need green methods.

Regarding the Obama article and the Center for Visionary leadership -- that article is a good start on linking into real-world spiritual politics as it is beginning to emerge. I/we met the Davidsons at the recent AGNT conference -- and I have had their book, "Spiritual Politics", since the early 1990's...
