Your words continually amaze me. The depth, your perception of the world is so spot on. I know… we need to act not just speak. I just wanted to tell you! 💕🙏
Thank you Marianne. This genuinely resonates. Even spiritual teacher Byron Katie says that if she were hurting someone, others should stop her, that it would be the kind thing to do.
My Goodness, these words struck to my very heart and I will be re reading again to help anchor them. Hope your voice is improving. Remember, thyme (the herb) steeped in boiled water in a cup for a few minutes, is very soothing and anti viral and other great things, but particularly good for throat, larynx and lungs. 2 -3 cups a day.
Marianne, I want you and all your readers to know how grateful I am to you for your wise counsel. This past April, you listened to my tale of woe, during the seminar you taught via the Sophia Institute You encouraged me to leave the small Midwestern river town where I live, if I wasn't finding meaning and purpose, based on my background--once the pandemic subsides. Well, we are still in the throes of the Delta variant, and I haven't moved but here's what's happened!
I've been listening to your ACIM every morning since January 1, and it's been immensely helpful! The personal stories you weave, aligned with the workbook text, have enabled me to start transforming my negative sitution into a very positive one by "looking at life differently," as you always stress. And it works! Here's my proof: I am getting community leaders to come together to declare "a climate emergency" for starters; then, I am advocating the city's development of a plan to help the homeless includes city-endorsed policies that support a thriving, healthy environment applicable to all building construction. So this means any new, affordable housing, transition housing, or rennovation as well as shelters must be energy efficient to reduce green house gas emissions; plus, use 'green' materials and practices too!
Marianne, I now walk into every situation aligning myself with our Great Creator, and focus on love--no judgment or criticism even needed! And it works!
So anyone reading Marianne's piece herein, please know I am an example of seeing how the consciousness of love (creative positivity) produces the difference: It's a force from a higher place that helps manifest collaboration and healing too. I encourage everyone to give it a try under all circumstances and learn how your life can change as well as the external situation around you!
Combined with this morning's daily meditation, you have shared many words and ideas. I'm doing my darndest to stay caught up.
I hear you.
Earlier I came across the word coalesce. When might that happen around the ideas you share? I also follow Charles Eisenstein, who has been building a community on the Mighty Networks platform. Coalescing is happening there.
Do we need a new political party? A new organization?
The pen is mightier than the sword. Your writing is inspiring Marianne, so please keep going knowing that when you show up with this gift of writing, you inspire others to show up with their gifts. Thank you from my heart💜🌹💜
so very fine - so very fine - so very fine - and so obvious!!!!!!! - keep on keeping on speaking out praying,, offering your prayers, teaching others how to do so, and to listen for the action that will help this world
You describe the current situation beautifully -almost poetically. How I would love to hear your thoughts describing the ideal, the vision, the goal. We so need to join in a united vision. Like the hands you describe, we can meet in synchronous action naturally when we have a clear internal vision. All of One mind and heart is what harmony is. Let's define that heart.
Truth already exists and we all know it. Each one practicing the stillness that allows Truth to rule, would bring us a gentle, easy course correction because Truth expressed itself naturally from within. Leaders call it forth from us and prepare us, like Martin Luther King, for a mighty flow of inspired, easy, natural, intelligent action.
Perfection is a default condition. We need an expectation of its flow. Of one breath and one desire. I think we are already here. The unrest is the best indication of how much we care. Now where do we go from here?
Hi Marianne, I loved today's post. It's extremely insightful and that is what we need most today. I agree with you that we are being asked to wake up, wise up, and rise up to greater awareness and understanding. In an attempt to add further insight to this discussion, I majorly updated a post I wrote last year for my Story Room. The title is: Religion's Role in Shaping Human Behavior. Yes, it's time for us to look behind the veil of fear and earthbound thinking. Cheers!
As a New Yorker who now lives in Mexico and lived previously in Indonesia, I am curious to know what we can do to include more countries - regardless of their political system - in this conversation. I agree the political intelligentsia currently in power who is hell bent on driving us into another "Cold War" needs to step aside and engage with billions in China, Russia and other autocracies. Perhaps it's necessary for all of humanity to see the world as the indigenous Kogi in Colombia do - as one unified body - knowing that if we cut off one limb, the whole system suffers.
Powerful medicine! Thank you for your words Marianne 🙏. Words anagrams to sword. Your words are like a sword that cuts to the core of the seriousness of our times.

We need new. What is it's genesis?
thank you very much Marianne

Thank you for clarity, brilliance,. compassion, and enduring hope.
I saw Condoleeza Rice on “The View” and had the same reaction. Being black, or female, or lgbtq, or progressive doesn’t automatically confer anything!
If we’re not part of solutions, we are huge sustainers of the problems.
Marianne Williamson has written an essay for the ages! Brava! Let’s Share widely!

Faith is visionary.

Can we please include the planet and not just one country in this..
"What is going on in our country is not just a political crisis; it is a moral and a spiritual crisis." Truth.
Powerful medicine! Thank you for your words Marianne 🙏. Words anagrams to sword. Your words are like a sword that cuts to the core of the seriousness of our times.
I choose love in action .
