What might happen if someone of the stature of Lao Tzu, the Buddha or the Christ became leader of one of the world’s most powerful nations?

IMAGINE a sage in the White House and a Sufi Master in the mountains of south Lebanon.

IMAGINE them drawn together, these men of different cultures and one profound insight, men of wisdom and understanding.

IMAGINE what it’s like to speak truthfully, with no desire for self- importance, power or a place in history.

IMAGINE men with checkered pasts and the wisdom of experience  whose only desire is to serve the well being of all.

IMAGINE living in today’s world, from a place of peace and profound understanding; with the ability to see all perspectives with compassion.

When taxes are high

People go hungry.

When government interferes

People lose their autonomy.

When rulers demand too much

People are not afraid to die.

Not being afraid to die they cannot be controlled.

Why do people care so little about death?

When life becomes intolerable

Death is welcomed

And,

He who has embraced his death

Lives without fear.

A man like this makes a formidable enemy!

Lao Tzu
