i don't understand why people didn't take you seriously when you ran for president! the content of your views are so obviously correct ! - what more can i say - you see clearly - with an agenda of benefit to PEOPLE and to the potentialities of a democratic system (which really cannot operate when greed is the driving force.) keep seeing and talking - hopefully more and more will listen, heed and act

People did take her seriously, except for those in the media and political world who felt properly threatened by her presence on the stage and whose world view would have been grievously disrupted had Marianne been successful.

There is a segment that takes her seriously and it's the one that is fighting hardest against her progressive arguments. If you follow the money it leads back to those who have the unfair economic advantage right now and they want it to stay that way forever.

The Truth will reveal itself, each and everyone of us are the Light to shine on the darkness.

Marianne is one person, we are many. We who stand with Marianne need to start seeing and

talking... I believe we need a strong Slogan, a strong Song and strong Belief that people can

Walk, Sing and Stand by, maybe even to Dance. Let’s all make this come ALIVE!!!

Hi Olga, I think the best way to win is to enjoy your own revealed truth RIGHT NOW! You don't have to struggle with anyone but yourself. Given that "there's nothing new under the sun", there probably is already a song and a slogan to be re-discovered. I like Ray Ruiz's song "Muevelo" which means "move it". If people would move (their minds, bodies, homes) a little more, we'd all be healthier.

Here's what I don't understand Marianne, I'm born and raised in England, lived in Oz 8 years, why isn't it explained to Americans healthcare in England is paid for by the people. So much is deducted from your wages each week depending on how much you earn. If you aren't sick much then that goes to help those that are. It's an altruistic system.

Yes thank you Marianne. Since I heard your podcast with Harvey J. Kaye, I’ve started reading and studying about Franklin Roosevelt and all his accomplishments during a horrific time within our history. I am so inspired by this man. It’s as if a light has been turned on… thank you again Marianne.

Yes, all true. But this last week in the US has been a triumph of sorts for democracy. Things can change. November.

Richard, just a few baby steps to please the masses. The inappropriately-named Inflation Reduction Act is so watered down. Also, why are taxpayers to subsidize the semi-conductor industry? What? Just like we've been subsidizing the fossil-fuel emitters! Corporatism still rules supreme, and not the people by any stretch in the U.S. So sorry. I feel as bad as Marianne about America for years on end. The paradigm shift must begin now.

Joan, the longest journey starts with the first step. We should count our blessing’s President Biden can get anything passed with republicans obstruction. Also, the semi-conductor industry is extremely important because it will create many jobs here and lessen our dependence on one country (China) being a supplier. Your " fossil-fuel”comment seems absurd, a compete false equivalency. Your cynicism seems an excuse for doing nothing and will not create the “paradigm shift” you claim. MW may point out problems with US but she always leaves room for hope. I only wish your comments did.

I have served on a sustainability commission for three years; plus; am educated in regenerative ag as well. Did you read the details of the climate section? It is a slick sell out with false data that doesn't make the grade. It makes good sense for renewables but seriously impairs the reduction of fossil-fuel emissions. You don't know me or my background so I forgive your comments. Take care.

I don’t need forgiveness for an honest criticism of a mistaken assumption. A good word to think about and practice is gratitude. Take care.

Richard, you take care as well with gratitude! It's always good to hear others views.

Beautifully said, Marianne. I consider you one of the great thinkers, up there with Krishnamurti and the like. I look forward to meeting you in Vancouver and hear you speak some more. God bless. Keep up the good work and keep remembering that love always wins in the end.

Light overcomes darkness by replacing it, there is no win or lose. There is only one real power, Light. Darkness is merely an absence of light. Shine on Harrison and Marianne🙏

Anyone who has experienced the friendly, competent medical staff in a "socialized" medical system understands. Medicine SHOULD be a service, not a for profit endeavor with over worked/underpaid staff

intent on getting billing codes correct lest their own heads roll, vs tending to their patients. Yes, we americans have been sold a TON of BS. Thanks for your clear and present gift of clear sightedness and truth telling.

This is so good Marianne. Thank you. Stephan Schwartz calls our health care system the “Illness Profit Industry.” I wonder when people will wake up and get angry enough to toss the corporate lackeys out of Congress and replace them with women and men who actually represent us, the people.

Yes, incredible. My baby was born in Ireland I had to stay in the hospital for 10 days due to complications and I owed 0 $. I got special care because of my condition. In Ireland they have

A maternity hospital just for women, It was a wonderful experience, this was 30 years ago. 💗

Hi Marianne,

I'm glad you got to visit Australia, and that we can be an inspiration for you.

It's not just health care and education that we have here in Australia, it's the whole social security safety net. It's unemployment benefits, parenting payments, student allowances. It's minimum wages and holiday pay.

But the big difference between Australia and the USA is possibly the preferential voting system, which encourages a range of minor parties, especially in the Upper House.

The beautiful public spaces that you admired attract the tourist economy, as well as making livable cities.

You're doing great work, and I love your combination of ACIM and politics. It's great for us to do the inner work, and then to apply it to the world.

I'm sorry I didn't get to see you when you came to Australia. Next time you'll have to come to Tasmania.

Couldn’t agree more, thanks for this Marianne. We mustn’t rely on the politicians to make the change you speak of, it’s up to each of us to be informed and active on the solutions, starting with the most powerful tool at every American’s disposal… VOTE and promote THE VOTE.

Tom, unfortunately, there's a segment working very hard to make our votes worthless with new state laws underway to overturn outcomes--this is the new battle to add to all the others.
