Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Dear Amma Family ~ in light of our recent discourse about whether or not their is a spiritual basis, or as you can now see, an anti-spiritual basis, I wanted to share this with you. I had already heard about Obama getting death threats, but this startled me beyond even speaking. It's frightening, and as some have indicated, for some of these people, they may think their spirituality is behind what they're saying and doing. But spirituality is more than just in the eye of the beholder; it's also in the heart of the doer, or in this case, the mind only. I am frightened for our black brothers and sisters, and I'm frightened for Obama and his family. I'd like to suggest we add them to the prayer list. If anyone is interested in reading beyond what I have quoted below, here is the link: _http://www.capitolhillblue.com/_ (http://www.capitolhillblue.com/) May Amma's Love and Compassion shine on all Americans during this time of a new transition from a more limited mode of thought and heart to a more open mode. Jai Jai Ma ~ Linda _Race crimes rise after Obama's election_ (http://www.capitolhillblue.com/cont/node/11890) Cross burnings. Schoolchildren chanting " Assassinate Obama. " Black figures hung from nooses. Racial epithets scrawled on homes and cars. Incidents around the country referring to President-elect Barack Obama are dampening the postelection glow of racial progress and harmony, highlighting the stubborn racism that remains in America. From California to Maine, police have documented a range of alleged crimes, from vandalism and vague threats to at least one physical attack. Insults and taunts have been delivered by adults, college students and second-graders. There have been " hundreds " of incidents since the election, many more than usual, said Mark Potok, director of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate crimes.
