2)yeld happiness through mental visualization (empathetic acts with our chosen destiny)3)achieve higher levels of counsciousness and “oneness”: realize that individual choices are not athomistic but holistic, that is interconnected(empirical evidence is ASTONISHING:environment, human body, technology, all feedback positively or negatively with each other)”It’s a beautiful beautiful thing” D.Lynch

This is a terrific clip.I hope Obama keeps up this emphasis on the importance of reading/learning, because people are really listening to him at the moment.

Walk in somebody else’s shoes? That would be an excellent idea Mr. President! You can start by not sending your girls to elite private schools and sending your kids to crappy public schools in the DC area just like everyone else! Next, you can get rid of your airforce one used to travel to other countries to talk to other leaders and log onto youtube to talk to world leaders just like everyone else! Lastly , You don’t need the limosines and just drive around in a 1988 nissan sentra! Like me!!!

Great Mr. President, now pass the knowledge on to the Federal Reserve Elitist who have enslaved the world and their affiliates within our govt who help them to do so. Maybe EMPATHY should be utilized by those who use war to make billions off of weaponry sales, building contracts, Centralized banking and corporation monopolies.Find a way to stop this madness, Mr. President. The world is hijacked and suffering because of sociopathic addiction to money and power by elitist.

Hah. Empathy requires logic & experience.How can you see emotion in someone if you’ve never experienced it yourself? How can you define the difference between paranoia and truth without logic?I’m bipolar, this gives me a range of emotion to work with rated as “extremes”. This doesn’t mean shit without understand, it takes label as disorder and deficit and no book or form of literacy will bring a whole world to an understanding. This world falls to religion & Greed, thus holocaust.

When everyone demands to be paid in advance, no deal ever gets done—the pipe goes dry with bubbles of suspicion, and fear of poverty (itself) makes us poor….fear itself.
