This psychobabble is brought to you by MBC, who herself, if rumor is correct, may have been fleeing from a notorious past in Argentina. If you read the infamous e-mails there is a spot where they touch on “living in the moment.” This is typical of ego-centric people with a nasty self-serving history who have lost touch with the good old fashioned “Golden Rule.” This becomes their replacement ideology. But notice, it is still all about them and non-judgmental awareness (don’t make me deal with and sincerely repair the damage). Kind of like the unconditional love he was whining about to his former wife without ever being prepared to reciprocate it.

True. Will we ever know the real Belen? And will we ever know how much influence she will have on Mark’s voting in the House if she was able to get him away from Christianity to ease his guilty conscience? The greatest sin a man/women commits is going against his/her conscience so to me they are worst kind of sinners.

His new life philosophy with his revered life couch is only another bridge taking him away from dealing with the real Mark Sanford. The mystics believe soul-mates are supposed to teach or heighten each others awareness in their lifetimes together, so look for him to start incorporating that in his spiel.

Sad, he had to blow up his family unit, when he could have earlier taken the more prudent advice from his former wife when she was trying to have him slow down, appreciate what was before him, and understand about happiness coming from within.

It’s funny how society has turned against “being judgemental” in some cases….I’d love to see what society was like if everyone ran around never making judgements…lol (which pretty closely resembles a lot of Mark Sandord’s life choices….no “judgement” necessary)

Guess it is true what they say about it never being too soon to start running for your next office. The P&C ran a piece today on Mark Sanford. The tone was admiring and deferential a la Presidential historian mode.

On Chris Wallace show this morning, Sanford mentioned that some people have mentioned the possibility of his trying for higher office. You could see that he is thinking about it.

One more thing, he refused to tell Chris what his boys think of Belen and when he will get married.

By the way Chris said that the Sanfords’ story is like soap opera. How true that is.

This guy is completely out of his mind, maybe even worse than Richard Eckstrom. I hope his mistress-turned-fiancee doesn’t trust him to be alone in DC.

I’ve heard that he is/was a member of St Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Charleston. Which was in what was one of the last remaining orthodox diocese in TEC until it was purged by the national church late last year. However, St Stephen’s was always a major thorn in the side of the diocese. Super-LGBT affirming and all that comes with it. In other words, they’ll believe “anything”. This revelation of Sanford’s embracing of eastern meditation comes as no surprise here.
