Obama’s Acceptance Speech: Analysis by Iranian TV

New age spiritualist Deepak Chopra may seem wacky to some, but what do you think of his analysis of Palin?

[Sarah Palin] is the reverse of Barack Obama, in essence his shadow, deriding his idealism and turning negativity into a cause for pride. In psychological terms the shadow is that part of the psyche that hides out of sight, countering our aspirations, virtue, and vision with qualities we are ashamed to face: anger, fear, revenge, violence, selfishness, and suspicion of “the other.” For millions of Americans, Obama triggers those feelings, but they don’t want to express them. He is calling for us to reach for our higher selves, and frankly, that stirs up hidden reactions of an unsavory kind…In her acceptance speech Gov. Palin sent a rousing call to those who want to celebrate their resistance to change and a higher vision.

So, we have another person claiming that Obama is “the light” and his opponent is the shadow. This is another claim that Obama is the chosen messiah.

It amazes me that so many are falling for this bs.

Everyone has light and dark within. The greater the light one has, the greater his or her shadows are.

I’d rather have a leader who is well balanced and doesn’t shine so brightly.
