Did this make John feel special ? Did he actually believe this ?

"Her [Rielle] purpose on this Earth, she said, was to help raise awareness about all this [New Age Philosophy], to help the unenlightened become better reflections of their true, repressed selves. Her latest project was John Edwards. Edwards, she said, was an old soul who had barely tapped into any of his potential. The real John Edwards, she believed, was a brilliant, generous, giving man who was driven by competing impulses-to feed his ego and serve the world. If he could only tap into his heart more, and use his head less, he had the power to be a " 'transformational leader' " on par with Gandhi and Martin Luther King. " 'He has the power to change the world,' " she said". Jonathan Darman/Newsweek/August 9, 2008

This video sums it up!!!

I don't guess the New Age Philosophy worked too well. This is part of John's statement after he didn't feel special anymore:

"It is inadequate to say to the people who believed in me that I am sorry, as it is inadequate to say to the people who love me that I am sorry. In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic.... ".

"See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ". Colossians 2:8 (NIV)
