A difficult post

It is very difficult for me to write this post. I am torn between bringing a new perspective to a particular issue, and running the risk of adding to the issue. The issue is some people’s fear that Barack Obama will be killed if he is elected President of the United States of America.

I have heard so many repeat this view – teenagers on a radio show in Jamaica, interviews with African Americans on CNN, friends and acquaintances and even my own dear, loving mother. They want him to win, but this declaration is quickly followed by the big “BUT…. “.

My view on this which I have expressed in many a conversation is that such a thought is not worth thinking, much less repeating. You see, all our thoughts are energy, and every thought has within it tremendous force. It is my belief that the more people think a thing, even if they are not wishing it to happen, the greater the energy field created and therefore the more force there is to actually bring it into being. When we verbalise the thought we are adding even more energy to it, thus increasing the force. It’s as if the energy is now coalescing around a point of focus that becomes more and more powerful the more thoughts are added to it.

What is backing such a thought, and why would people think such a thing? For surely such an event is not worthy of our consideration? This is something that we do not want, so why think it and why add power to it by saying it? We really must guard our thoughts vigilantly – not just about ourselves but also about others. We may find it difficult to not think a thought, but what we can do is not verbalise it, thus reducing the force.

Here is my reason for being reticent in writing about this issue: in speaking about it, could I possibly be adding energy and force to the thought? At last, I have come to terms with this, and believe that my helping others to understand the futility, nay danger of thinking and speaking such a thing, will actually dissipate the force.

I suspect that Sen. Obama has no such fear. He just knows that he has a job to do and is 100% focused on that. I have chosen to join him in where I focus my energy. I do so unequivocallly with the total unwavering love of my being. I invite you to do the same – no fear, no but, no what-if.
