Presidential Religion

A recent article in the New York Times showcases the president’s spiritual advisers—five Christian pastors. The lack of any Jewish, Muslim, Buddhists or other practitioners of the spiritual world is disturbing. Just as the president invites disparate perspectives into the debate of how to fix and run the physical aspects of our country one would think the president would also invite different ethereal ideas into his spiritual development.

The integration of ideas, particularly spiritual ideas, is fundamental to real change; the segregation of spiritual ideas is as dangerous as is the segregation of the races.

The Cabala describes beauty as being the mixture between many colors—one color, insists the Cabala, is not beautiful. The president has chosen five different hues of the same color to guide him to his soul.
