Thank you Marianne💚I’ve been following you here in Michigan for 17+ yrs!😇CIM started & committed to this year 2021…Transformation & Transcending are happening and a rapid pace for me🙏🏻I Am Grateful🌻your Tues talks, to your books, to now having you on Substack📚I/We need all the Support we can…Being a Miracle~Worker in this world is a Blessings, and a great Responsibility! Thank you for your assistance and Guidance all these years💜Keep on keeping on! Peace in troubled times🕊
I have made a practice of praying every single day for at least three hours. I do not know how anyone can survive happily without this connection to the inner world. Prayer and meditation focused on the changeless ONE is an antidote to all the lies and storms created by the lies that are in media circulation today. Above all, we understand which statements and directions are contrary to the ONE good having spent time in the Presence of the True ONE. Marilyn, I appreciate this space to call us out from the chaos and into some kind, gentle fellowship. May GOOD prevail and sanity return to our country and to the world.
So true! We can accomplish tranquility and power of purchase with just the practice of enjoying our own company quietly and lovingly. Thank you this morning for reminding me of the power of meditation.
You know something resonates when tears spill down your cheeks. Deeply grateful for this experience. One line that really hit me was, "We are not just physical beings on the earth to serve a finance-driven order of things." Because despite everyone saying it's essential (driving revenue as the priority in life), I always felt like there was something never quite right about that. I get the fundamental role and purpose money serves, but it's been made to be more than it should--it's turned into mission critical and people (including myself) have placed their entire self worth on it in various ways and levels. It's wrong and we really are so much more. When we invest in LIFE as the critical/essential priority, (financial, etc.) abundance will organically follow--better than ever before. I needed this right now (timing is everything). I like to infer a form of love/positive energy at every touchpoint and believe this will help my ever evolving process, including the goal to weave it into a full time career. What could be better! Thank you with all my heart, Marianne.
Hello Marianne - I have been reading your books since the 1990's when I was first introduced to ACIM. You continue to inspire me (and awaken me) with your writings. I have been meditating for about 25-30 years now. The past year and a half I have been doing a mantra based practice I learned from a class with the Chopra center. I look forward to my meditation every day - even when I can feel how turbulent my mind and thoughts might be on any given day. There is always good that comes out of it. It really does calm you - you feel the effects of it and it brings more clarity. I am in total agreement with your comments here - we can only change the outside world if we are willing to take the time to change the thoughts we have inside. It can certainly bring up a lot of 'stuff' though - it did for me the past year and a half. But you have to find the courage to allow it to come up and be released - to listen to what those negative thoughts are trying to tell you. I read 'The Shadow Effect' during this time (with yourself, Debbie Ford and Deepak). That book came into my life at just the right time. Eye-opening. It also makes me think of this line from the 23rd psalm: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me". I hope I am writing this Wayne Dyer quote correctly when he said "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change". Many Blessings
Thank you so much for this reminder Maryanne. Meditation very first thing in the morning is a practice I have great difficulty returning to, and what I need most. I lost my husband in traumatic circumstances 18 months ago and suffer from PTS that seems to affect me ONLY in the morning. Something in my unconscious return to these causal moments and wake me up. So I wake up in a deep state of anxiety and dread. In that state, I am finding it almost impossible to function and only jumping onto my computer seems to get me out of quicksand. This morning, the very first thing I looked at and read is your newsletter and this powerful reminder so I commit to do exactly what you are just suggesting. Mediate even if it is a few minutes before anything else. Ask for personal relief from PTS so that I can be more effective in the world. More authentically loving, more authentically contributing to transform the direction we are collectively taking. Thank you dear Maryanne.
Truth well written, "If we want to repair the world, it’s not enough to ask ourselves what needs to be done. We need to also ask ourselves who we need to be - not only in order to discern what it is that needs to be done, but in order to be people strong and wise enough to be able to do it."

Thanks for the extra motivation to get into silent meditation again <3
My goodness, Marianne...your words have come along at just the right time. Thank You.

So lovely. We all can do it. It costs nothing and the rewards are priceless and rippling.
