Tonight we will begin our first discussion thread for paying subscribers. We can talk about spirituality, or we can talk about politics. We can talk about the wounds of the heart, or the wounds of society. We can focus on forgiveness, or we can focus on public policy. I’m game! Your call…
Someone told me recently that it’s hard to keep up with what’s going on in the world, given how complicated everything has become.
The truth, however, is that things aren’t really so complicated at all. A very simple truth underlies the complexity: humanity has lost its heart. We live collectively without reverence or moral responsibility towards people, animals or planet, and this separation from the angels of our better nature has thrown us into chaos.
On an individual level, I have great faith in people. I believe that the vast majority of us are decent and dignified and want to do the right thing; if our democracy truly represented us, we would be faring pretty well.
But our representative government does not represent us now - neither our will nor our consciousness nor our needs - so much as it represents the will and consciousness of a soulless corporate order that puts its own profitability before all else. That corruption, due to the undue influence of money on our political system, has caused immeasurable suffering and will continue to do so until, in the words of Jimi Hendrix, the power of love overcomes the love of power.
We will begin the live discussion at 7pm PT, 10pm ET. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to be with you. Meet me here at mariannewilliamson.substack.com. Paid subscribers will receive an email announcing that we’re beginning the Q and A.
See you tonight!
A question to ponder: How do we resist the urge to meet force with force among those that disagree with us, to wallow in the world of absolutism within aggression? At that moment we first react, how do we #GetYerGandhiOn and step beyond the black and white of adversarial roles and understand the shades of gray, the commonality visible if we choose to see it? It seems completely inaccessible at that pivotal moment when judgement is so easy.
I think we can never lose heart, we just become disconnected (unconscious) and that seems to be the (regressive) state of the majority.
The media plays a big part in amplifying human unconsciousness( in this case done in the fear psyop "covid19").
Are we going to have the intensified old fear based world( the central banking cabals reset )with egoic systems or are we going to create the new systems of spirit( love) that are trying to be born?
When you have a central banking economic monopoly and it runs the govts (set up as corporations with debt slaves/taxpayer) there can be no political democracy.
We have an economic and political monopoly and have for some time.
George Carlin had a great understanding of politics " No matter who you vote for the govt always gets in" . Controlled opposition was a psychological tool, a political development for totalitarian control.
Political parties keep us divided, and the " party" ideology keeps our minds identified with a political party.
Are we ready to put aside what is not true and what does not work , discarding the corporate values and govt -media indoctrinated cultural beliefs.
Letting the seeds of new spirit based health, education and philosophy spread into creation and grow.
Can we develop a way of setting being as primary goal rather than the current imbalance of what is grounded less doing?
