The look on his face brings tears to my eyes.
He has such a youthful look. It's like looking at a little boy, a little boy who had hope for his future. And that future has been denied to him by the very country he lives in, solely because of the color of his skin.



This time, it has to be different.
This time, it has to change. It just has to.
White people, myself included, wake up to all of the injustice. WE are the ones who have to make it change.
WE HAVE TO DO THIS. NOW.

If so, we’re in a fight for the soul of the US. I think we have more people with us than against us. The whites supremacists need to go hide under their rocks again.

Events which reveal the powers of Mind. He proves that Mind extends far beyond the capability of brain. One experiment involved how our attitude, positive or negative, affects the growth of a test subject. Good thoughts produced better results. Extended over time, they discovered that the good or bad results grew exponentially rather than linearly.

This is probably what produces a positive blip when the power of prayer is tested. It also reflects the basic truth of Jesus's statement that if you think murder or adultery, it's real...thoughts are things! If you've ever watched The Dead Files, the psychic medium who participates is amazing; she picks up negative residual energy left by our dearly departed all the time and explains how that would affect the living....
Confirmed by the living.

SO...I'm going to vote for a nation having the possibility of a national Mind depending upon how it is shaped by society and culture!

...grabbed me, hard, because he said what I believe: that we are in a fight for the soul of this nation.
