During a recent spiritual conversation with my friend Howard Jameson Psychic, we found ourselves immersed in the topic of power—specifically, those who rise to positions of influence and how they choose to wield it. Naturally, our dialogue led us to reflect on the stark contrast between two prominent figures in American leadership: John F. Kennedy and Donald Trump. It was a deep and thoughtful conversation. It triggered me to write this post “power and purpose powerful insights with Howard Jameson”.
Growing up with my parents and their generation, they admired JFK deeply. He was the symbol of hope in a generation yearning for progress. To many of us, he wasn’t just the President—he was the future of America. He represented vision, courage, and a rare grace in power. We debated how different the world, and the United States in particular, might be today without Kennedy’s assassination.
What struck me in our discussion was how JFK’s destiny, karma, and spiritual essence seemed so deeply intertwined with the idea of service over self. He was a leader shaped by responsibility, not ego. He carried the karmic weight of legacy and privilege, yet his soul seemed driven by the need to uplift, inspire, and unite. He was a visionary with a poet’s heart—a noble spirit whose light was extinguished too soon.
In contrast, when we examined Donald Trump’s rise, we saw a strange use of power—one often centered on financial gain, division, and dominance. Whether one supports him, it’s undeniable that Trump’s leadership has evoked powerful emotions: loyalty, anger, fear, and fervent identity politics. But what it has lacked—at least in the spiritual sense—is the humility of stewardship, the sense that leadership is about lifting others rather than lifting oneself.
Our conversation left us with a question that lingers:
What does the world become when power loses its connection to purpose?
JFK once said, “A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.”
It reminded me that legacies aren’t built by popularity—they’re built by the intentions behind the actions, the truth in the words, and the sacrifices made in service of the whole.
If JFK’s spirit still whispers through time, perhaps it urges us now—to seek leaders of vision, wisdom, and moral clarity. Not perfect people, but principled ones.
And maybe, in our own lives, we’re being asked the same thing:
Will we use what we have to build bridges or burn them?
Will we choose to live for something greater than ourselves?
John F. Kennedy (JFK) destiny, legacy, karma, and spiritual essence
John F. Kennedy (JFK) remains one of the most mythologized figures in modern history. When considering his destiny, legacy, karma, and spiritual essence, we must look beyond politics and tragedy to understand the soul of the man and what his life represented on a deeper level:
🌟 Destiny
JFK’s destiny was to serve as a symbol of hope, idealism, and renewal in a time of global tension and national transformation.
- He was destined to be a torchbearer—young, articulate, and visionary—ushering in what became known as the “New Frontier.”
- His presidency was marked by pivotal moments: the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Space Race. These were all crossroads of global and human evolution—and he stood at their center.
🔮 From a soul perspective, his destiny may have been to ignite a collective awakening, challenging humanity to choose between fear and courage, division and unity.
🕊️ Legacy
JFK’s legacy is layered—both earthly and spiritual:
- On Earth: He is remembered for his eloquence (“Ask not what your country can do for you…”), his push for civil rights, and his vision for space exploration.
- He planted the seeds of hope, courage, and service in the American psyche.
- His tragic death immortalised him—not just as a president, but as a martyr for progress and possibility.
🌌 Spiritually, JFK’s legacy transcends politics. He became a symbol of what could have been—a reminder that leadership with conscience and charisma is possible, and that even the brightest lights can be extinguished too soon, urging us to carry the torch forward.
⚖️ Karma
Karmically, JFK’s life may represent the intersection of privilege, power, and purpose.
- Born into wealth and influence, his soul might have chosen a path where he could balance past power with present responsibility.
- The intense challenges of his presidency—cold war tensions, assassination attempts, and health battles—suggest he carried heavy karmic burdens, perhaps repaying or healing from past lives connected to war, leadership, or the misuse of influence.
- His sudden, violent death may have been a karmic conclusion—closing a cycle with sacrifice and impact, rather than longevity and comfort.
✨ Spiritual Essence
At his core, JFK’s spiritual essence feels like that of a visionary warrior—a soul drawn to inspire, lead, and stir change, even in the face of personal risk.
- There’s a poet’s heart beneath the politician’s exterior—someone attuned to beauty, words, and ideals.
- His charm was more than charisma; it was soul recognition. People felt seen by him.
- He embodied the Archetype of the Noble Leader—flawed but striving, charismatic but contemplative, destined but doomed.
🦅 He carried a Sagittarian fire (his sun sign)—a restless search for truth, meaning, and expansion, both outward (space, global affairs) and inward (justice, integrity).
🪶 Final Reflection:
JFK’s life whispers a lesson: We are all capable of greatness, but greatness comes with responsibility. His spiritual message might be:
“Live for something larger than yourself. Let your time on Earth move the dial forward for others. And even if your story ends before you’re ready—make it one worth remembering.”
