Tony:

I'm confused, Dr. Chopra. You donated the maximum amount several times to Senator Clinton when she was leading. It's easily checked with a google search. But now you seem to be supporting Senator Obama???

A poem I wrote 56 years ago when I committed to the Christian ministry:

Sidewalks Of Fog

The literal minds must swallow
Jesus' pedestrian aquatics to
Prove their right to salvation's
Clique; but we
Stroll on sidewalks of fog
without a second thought.

Excellent post and point, Dr. Chopra. As with some of your other posts, there is nothing else to say.

Dear Deepak,
Your answer is written in love, in the hope of awakening spirit within all of us. We need spirit, we need to step up to the plate of our actions and stop pointing fingers.

Now is the time to stop creating, by realizing that we are the creators of the differences we see in this world.

empyrius:

"a revival of spirit, without which every social reform is little more than bickering over entitlement while hiding the heart from view"

Indeed! Time to show this world how vastly superior, how Christ-like, compassionate socialism is, in direct opposition to "compassionate" but we are inherently selfish so make more money conservativism.

Amen

Deepak,

A profound message, thank you. I only disagree on one point: the assassination of Dr King was not a fatal blow. His message lives, and is still strong. His dream goes marching on.

All in all a close approach to reality of the Assassination but far to shallow.
