Does Obama Use Neuro-Linguistic Programming Techniques in Speeches?

Jack, I think you make a perfectly valid point, but does it factor in the extra dimension that we know about, which is that people can "awaken" to thier purpose at strategic moments?

I have lived "two lives" myself in the 45 years I have been here. For the first 22 I was a hard-core materialist - quite ready to be one of "Thatchers Storm Trooper Yuppies - Thatcher's Britain". I was materialist, ran my own business, had strong selfish tendencies, was reasonably effective in business and disturbingly ruthless at times. When I look back on some of those years I could see that I knew there was more to life but was ignoring it, and then a couple of years before I met my wife I started to change and shed some of those older behaviour patterns and ideals.

Knowing then in myself that this is possible, I am quite prepared to accept that Obama's higher self has timed/programmed his incarnational mission to sneak into position under the radar and awaken at the appropriate moment. I support all the light inspired work that he is here to do and wish him all the success possible.

I dont know about him selling "hope" - I thought it was change. No one here would disagree that change is necessary.

"We are the ones we have been waiting for", albeit borrowed, one of the great lines in his speeches.

A..
