No one can see the forest through the trees … one must rise above them to see what’s really happening … A skill that Marianne Williamson brings to every challenge we face … She makes these kinds of efforts on a daily basis to improve all of our lives.

Indeed. She rises above and is able to see the need of the moment and the long-term implications of choices. She is playing the long game, and has the intelligence and command of history and humanity (or lack thereof) to be a leader who can see the opportunity to rise above in the crisis.

I love her position of running for the position and staying in the game no matter what to be able to have greater influence.

I dream of many things and as minor as it may sound? Seeing MW have the opportunity to speak at the Democratic National Convention — and bring the freakin’ house down with a brilliant, reasoned, heart-driven oration that is one for the ages — is a vision I am holding.

Who knows what could happen were she to take the stage she has earned, and electrify the convention hall and viewers alike with the vision we share?

Who knows where that could lead.

I cannot help but think that had we had a true Democratic primary; the party would be in a far better position to respond to events going on today. Our campaign has engaged the American people in a deep and soulful conversation about political issues, a depth very much missing in mainstream politics now. I will continue to try to be heard. Thanks, Marianne for your continued commitment to our nation and democracy. I pray that your intelligent, compassionate ideas will be adopted by whoever is our next president, hopefully you.

God bless you always.

An Arab leader asked the Rector of my Episcopal Church, which side he was supporting – Israel or Palestine. The director answered neither. And added that he supports Justice for both Israel and Palestine.

According to international law the oppressing party cannot claim self defense!

Yes! Thanks indeed for your moral clarity and being willing to articulate it, and all those on college campuses across the country who know. Who have a pulse and are not willing to tolereate what is happening. I applaud their bravery and yours.

"We should be equally and robustly committed to the safety, security and sovereignty of both peoples. The greatest way we can support peace between Israel and Palestine is to do our best to love them both." Yes! Marianne, this is the root of our way out of this demented brain that thinks polarities must be maintained. Higher brain / Higher heart function is awaiting us in human evolution right now and that requires that we practice holding more than one view of everything. Holding BOTH is not even enough; "multi" perceptions and points of view and solutions all at once leads us out of this box that by its nature blames, chooses "a team to support: chooses a football mentality of offense and defense that keeps all of us prisoners of a world that sees conflict as our international pastime! Let's get off the "gaming" view of living, let's walk off the field of spectators and side choosers. We have been living out the roman coliseum programming of gladiators and spectators for millenia. It is an addiction and low brain functioning and politics is its lowest form of brain-child! WE can hold the entire world in our pursuit of a new paradigm and SEE that the so-called Palestine and Israel "question" is only one "coliseum" that bloodies life with the dementia of winners / losers.

The trouble is Israel has been eating away at Palestinian land and has been an Occupying force squeezing it into a smaller and smaller area. Piece by piece settlers have stolen in supported by the IDF. Netenyhua has always opposed two states and won't stop until all the land is Jewish land. Palestine should have the right to stop this and defend itself but hasn't been allowed to. Any opposition sees Palestinians put to languish as hostages on Israelis prisons and treated abysmally.. Israel has been funded to the tune of tens of billions of dollars and the Palestinians have been funded with cents in comparison.

Much of what you say is correct, but much of it is not. The occupation of the West Bank is illegal, and the settlements are illegal. That is true, and I have said so publicly and for years. The siege and the blockade of Gaza has caused injustices to be sure, but it was instituted - in partnership with Egypt, by the way - in response to Hamas activity. Hamas has in fact received many billions of dollars, the majority of which it is used to build its tunnels and military infrastructure rather than using it to help the people of Gaza.

It's clear that women's place needs to be in a position of power, authority, clarity and justice which is not something the world can comprehend and accept. Men run the world with the idea that war is inevitable and profitable and necessary. In these dark days, your words and intent and passion are a great comfort.

If you were President right now would you sign the bill to give Ukraine and Israel the money to continue their wars? I live in Pennsylvania and our Primary is tomorrow. My “progressive “ Democrat representative Summer Lee just voted to approve this legislation. Why is the U. S. government trying to start a nuclear World War III- either with Russia or Iran? Is all of Congress and Biden owned by the industrial military complex. I really would like to know if you support these never ending wars.

So eloquently and humanely written! Oh - if only the whole world could hear this message and then begin to put it into their hearts, souls and daily actions with one another. We will continue to try!

Yes, I pray every day for peace in that region, that the Gazans will realize that their indoctrinated hatred of Jews (which existed even before there was a Jewish state of Israel) will get them nowhere, that by accepting the idea of living peacefully next to the Jews (as they have been given that opportunity many times in the past 75 years but rejected it) will bring them peace, that not having a perennial victim mentality (which is nurtured globally as well as by their own non-democratic, misogynistic and homophobic culture/religion)) can empower them to create their own 'Singapore" on that beautiful- or what was once beautiful- Gaza strip right next to the Mediterranean, that they will stop electing and supporting terrorists to lead them. And I pray that someday the Israelis can forgive their neighbors for what was done to them so brutally and with such GLEE on October 7th, and forgive their neighbors for wanting them dead.
