Obama's integral message isn't quite hitting home with pre-orange and green altitudes, in my opinion. This is why the Republican ticket has any support in the first place. This leads me to believe that his center of developmental gravity is green. if he were to fully embrace lower developmental structures, and integral inclination, then his language would be more appealing to them.

We, as integral thinkers, need to do everything we can to get in touch with our own lower levels of development values and listen for what it is that we are needing to hear. Then we can more effectively meet the frustrations of those levels in our communications with them.

Most likely, we can do this through shadow work. What happens when we do shadow work with Republicanism. I did this, and came upon some astonishing insights. That got me thinking about all sorts of issues in less charged ways.

One thing I thought of that would be super cool would be if Obama invited McCain to serve on his cabinet during a debate. This would serve the purpose of helping Obama to understand the right wing better as he governs. He would be able to take that perspective into consideration much more accurately by having a right wing advisor close to him. Keep your enemies close as they say.

Basically, though, the biggest question I have in my mind is this: When we're in touch with the consciousness in our lower levels of development and we listen to Obama, what are we not hearing that leaves us frustrated? If we can answer this question, then we can help Obama and his campaign and our Dem ticket pushing communicate to the on-the-fense voters out there.

Hope this helps, and looking forward to fleshing out this idea with you all.

Thank you to Jesse (from the Integral Obama mail-list) for the http://IntegralLife.com link, that was very helpful. However, a link to the specific part of the website that you were referring to in regard to an Integral Obama message would be greatly appreciated as all but one of the Google search results for Obama on IntegralLife.com were negatively-oriented (like, "Is Obama the Anti-Christ?"). If I missed any integral concepts or issues below please do not hesitate to point them out to me, either publicly or privately. I tend to take a more practical approach to my explanations of things but I try to use integral languaging where it seems most appropriate. I did find value in watching this video that attempts to begin to explain Integral Political Challenges.

One of the main serious issues as I see it is the need to communicate exactly WHY a homogenized mostly non-essential-activity-based society is being FORCED upon the majority of people by the so-called globalists who sincerely want a one-world frame of perspective as a means of providing an overall peaceful environment. However, in this pursuit they seek to bring a lowest-common-denominator mentality to the masses which appears to be effectively neutering or otherwise rendering impotent people who are or may become potential enlightened individuals. Turquoise and above conscious awareness has no practical application of such awareness in a "dumbed-down" paradigm, i.e. no useful language to communicate such an awareness. Such an awareness exists in and of itself in each individual who happens to develop it, mostly by accident or at best by extremely rare syncronicity. Those such self-identified individuals of us need to figure out how to communicate integral concepts in non-integral languaging which kind of seems like a paradox to me.

I understand that in order to have peace that you need to speak in a style of language that the majority of people can understand. However, the very process of attempting to communicate in such a green language appears to be forcing people to be green people and hence adopt an actual green mentality or way of thinking. At that point such people are virtually lost until they somehow find a way to wake up again.

Obama tends to speak so intelligently that the Republicans/Neocons are able to make fun of him in the media and therefore lessen his inspirational messages.

How can "we" as integral communicators assist Obama in understanding this challenging dynamic and still have him help Americans do the right thing?

Clare Graves, Don Beck, and Ken Wilber did a great job of defining and effectively communicating the challenge in a useful manner/language/semantics however it is up to ALL of us to figure out the soulution.

Sometimes it is depressing knowing how things really work but being unable to communicate with people who really need to know how things really work (i.e. the truth about life/nature). Is it any wonder why some powerful (ADHD/Bi-Polar/Borderline?) people give up attempting to communicate and simply treat the green majority as sheeple? Psychological awareness began around 3,000 B.C. as philosophy however the so-called science of psychology only began about 200 years ago. What does that tell you about hidden psychology (esoteric wisdom) and how long certain groups of people who understood this wisdom have been actively shepherding virtually the whole of humanity by utilizing the principle of psychological leverage from the essential beginning of time? So, how do we as the new enlightenment deal with such a long-term force? The saying of, "May The Force Be With You" begins to take on a whole new meaning in regard to the hidden yet human forces for good.

We do it by having the Obama Campaign attempt to communicate with that ancient wisdom tradition/force by explaining our understanding of certain key principles openly in the media. This is quite literally a prayer to "G" (not necessarily THE God but a wide range of groups of people literally and effectively acting as gods on Earth or "The Force").

There is an aspect of socialism, or the needs and desires of the many, that can not be ignored as well as an aspect of corporate fascism, the needs and desires of the powerfully-intelligent few, that also can not be ignored (a case of rocks and hard places or unstoppable forces and immovable objects). This is why we have ONLY two major political parties in the United States. These two yin-yang / green-red elements are so immense that they have BOTH chosen to make a bargain, one very obvious demonstration of which was Democratic Majority Leader Pelosi agreeing NOT to impeach President Bush for OBVIOUS legal infractions (both the 9/11 events as well as the Iraq events and subverting both the people as well as the Constitution of the United States). EACH side needs to get some of its way from time to time in order for there to be a balance-of-power. Both are both so-called good and evil depending upon which side you choose to be on. This dynamic has also resulted in both the U.S. and Great Britain being friends with both Israel as well as Arabia, a partial history of which can be found here:

http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hegel/works/hp/hparabian.htm

So, there is an inherent inability for the Democratic (as well as Republican) Party to be as honest and upfront as they would like to be. Due to this balance-of-power Obama is literally prohibited from providing actual solutions that seem obvious for those of us who are paying close attention to what is actually going on. Money is NOT the issue because money can either be printed or debts otherwise forgiven to create it. Plus, with the advent of electronic currency and credit money does not even need to be printed anymore. Who to THEY think that THEY are fooling? Who do WE as integral-minded people actually communicate with to say, "HEY! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" (loud, NOT angry). There was enough money for an absurdly-expensive Iraq war but NOT enough money to deal with the environment that would cost a lot LESS money to deal with?!

Hopefully one of you reading this will forward this message to one of the secret few who will actually know who to advise about such issues and this prayer will ultimately reach one of the ancient wisdom gods here on Earth who has the power to actually do something that actually makes sense.

Thank you.

P.S. Here is a response from someone who read the above message outside of GAIA.com...

Forwarded message...

Purple People Power, I very much enjoyed your synopsis of the challenges of communicating an integral perspective in everyday language. We were inspired to follow an inspired vision and create an integral multimedia thoughtform combining positive music and Obama's powerful message of self responsibility "it's about you!" to promote the "YES WE CAN" movement. Please check it out and pass it on if you feel so moved.
