Thank you, President Obama!

Growing up in an era when the US went to, and returned from Vietnam; the cold war between Russia and the Western nations was at its peak and then 'Glasnost' followed; people were dying or being killed as they sneaked over the Berlin Wall, and then it was torn down -- I just stared in shock at the TV screen all those years ago in India, totally incredulous that I would live in a time which would be witness to these 'unimaginable' changes that were not expected, at least in our lifetime. We were all fatalists and felt there were powers stronger than us who controlled the world, and what as a result happened to us! Each time these 'symbols' came crashing down I was just that - incredulous!

Thank you, Spirit, that I learnt over time, about the power of the mind, about our own strength, about positive thought and language, about believing in ourselves and our capacity to bring about whatever positive change we believe in creating.

And so, today, I want to thank Barack Obama, with all my heart, for giving me a dream...to see a nuclear-free world - and this time I won't be incredulous, but KNOW that I and others like me, did it with our minds, our positive intentions and expectations.

This just in, from his speech to 20,000 people in Prague today:

BARACK OBAMA CALLS FOR NUCLEAR-FREE WORLD

U.S. President Barack Obama called for the elimination of nuclear weapons on Sunday, calling them "the most dangerous legacy of the Cold War" during a speech given just hours after North Korea launched a rocket in defiance of international requests not to do so.

Obama said his government would "immediately and aggressively" seek a ban on the testing of nuclear weapons.

"Some argue that the spread of these weapons cannot be checked -- that we are destined to live in a world where more nations and more people possess the ultimate tools of destruction," Obama said to a crowd of more than 20,000 outside the Prague Castle gates.

"This fatalism is a deadly adversary," he said. "For if we believe that the spread of nuclear weapons is inevitable, then we are admitting to ourselves that the use of nuclear weapons is inevitable."

Obama indicated that the United States would host a summit within the next year that would include discussions to reduce and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons.

********************************
Let's join hands, all healers, all well-wishers of the world and the planet, all peoples, all children, all parents, all grandparents - and with our positive intention, expectation, and affirmation support Barack Obama in this new dream, so our future generations live in a safer world!
