You're a much needed voice in our society.

God bless you Maryanne for standing up. As a Canadian, rather a citizen of the Earth, I pray everyday for a resolution to this mess we all find ourselves in.

So right on. Ban military riffle, shame the NRA, shame the lobbying they are doing and those who profit from it. Denounce the vocal violence on social media, denounce it when our politicians use it. Denounce relentlessly the vocal violence of our politicians whichever board they are from.

We need to shame the violence on games, making our children an adult immune to the effects of violence.

So right on Marianne.

Denounce publicly, daily, calmly, relentlessly the violence in the words of our politicians, and ask at grass root levels from everyone a return to courtesy and respect of the other one.

Marianne, I have been a CIM student since 1995, listening to you every Tuesday as well. I am 70 and a Democrat. This week I heard myself say, to my daughters one being for Trump the other Biden, that I was voting for you for president and making no apologies for it, so to speak. I told my daughters I raised them 'with spiritual ideas' and they knew the difference between right and wrong. No one had to convince them, and I would not be the first to try. They just looked at me. Perhaps, that is all that I needed to say. Thank you Marianne for your Souls Knowing that too is mine. May you stay well...love to you and all your efforts. As you have said 'Angels to your left, Angels to your right, Angels above you and below, in in front and behind. May they watch over you and all....Namaste...Lygia

Marianne; well said, I’ve thought for a very long time that we need to come and understanding that we can’t talk out of both sides of our mouths and come to a set agreement. The gratuitous violence that is shown in our motion picture industry that is for no real value other than to make a buck needs to be addressed. Also Video games that occupies so much of our younger generations time, it’s like a breeding ground in the mind for this violence, mindless violence , with no repercussions. I fear some cannot tell the difference from that to real life. As a nation we need a reset on common decency and civility.

Truth be told our greatest problem is fear, which is a total lack of love.

Changing one thing will not solve our problems, we need to change our hearts and do what is right regardless of its popularity. Thank you were in your corner hoping that this turns around and we will be able to call you “Madame President.” When you are on the Ballot in 2024 it will be the first time in “60 years I’ll vote as a democrat

Marianne, thank you for your boldness and integrity...I share your belief that we all need to go further much further dot remedy our addiction to violence on all levels! I taught Conflict Resolution for over 10 years as a High School English teacher in NYC and then this highly effective program was defunded at the start of the 2001 school year on Sept. 4 ...coincidence? I wonder. I taught Dr. King's Beloved Community as a part of the program I created. It takes every ounce of hope for me to not become a cynic. Thank you for your continued resolve and inspiration!

Marianne, I support almost everything you say. Love is the way. People's hearts need transforming. Current governments around the world are corrupt and cannot be trusted, driven by money, power, exploitation and greed, and with this in mind, while I believe in non-violence, I don't believe we should disarm the public. If people in governments did their jobs better, the public would experience less pressure and internal dissonance (fear). Already the public are "thrown under the bus", brainwashed and bullied and disempowered by fear thanks to corporate and government agendas, and their mass marketing and media. Only heart-shifting love can set each individual free. Non-violence is a natural "byproduct" of a change of heart. As the public we need to hold government and their systems accountable. We cannot keep accepting what we are told and cornered into. We have to question everything, learn, think, be accountable for ourselves and our choices, and take appropriate action. Power is with the massses, the public. We have forgotten this. It is in the interests of those in government and the growing financial elite to create divisiveness in the masses they seek to continue to control and exploit. Living in South Africa we are crippled by centuries of corruption at the highest levels, which has filtered down and broken the fabric of society. There are few role models of love and integrity. People are challenged by daily survival and this leads us to forget we can be the change, with heart. We need to evolve heartfully or we, and Earth our beautiful home, may have no future. The time is now. May Great Love and Great Wisdom guide us.

I am always turned off by these discussions that try to ascribe the actions of one, or a small number of individuals, to our entire society. This is usually done by saying such things as "WE are a violent society", etc. Not everyone in our society is violent (although obviously there are a few who are). I think this is to try to lay a guilt trip on as many people as possible who had nothing to do with whatever the violent incident is that triggered that type of comment. I think that people who do this (including Marianne) are usually capable of much clearer thinking than this, and would do well to work on it.

If you are concerned about reducing these kinds of incidents, study how the Israelis provide security in their school system. Something like Uvalde would be very unlikely to happen there.

I will add that I do find most of Marianne's teachings to be very spiritually valuable and excellent. But she is way off target here.

Thank you.

Fail, more laws will not change anything. It's a people problem, not a tool problem.

Thankyou Marianne. Wise words as always.

Am I being too picky, thinking of you as President and not wanting to see your cleavage?

It may be today's style (I'm your age) but to me, just not classy.

Thank you Marianne for keeping it as you always did, classy.

This is our next President, provided we are smart enough to vote for her. We aren’t on a collective level yet. We must become so immediately. 💝 Please support her and vote for her. Marianne is the only one with the massive intellect, foresight, spiritual discernment and heart led inclinations to help us save our species to the capacity that we need. The exception to the fallow political field we endure is Bernie. Marianne must align with Bernie to win 2024. I’ve communicated as much to her. She’ll win in 2028 without him should she choose to run again. But that will be too late. While I sound fatalistic, I’m intuitively gauging the tipping point and have been for some time. We don’t have 5 years to lose because we must begin restorative measures immediately regarding our Mother Earth, our habitat. The damage done in the interim, especially regarding environmental issues like the Willow Project in Alaska will have us in dire straits as humans seek to survive the catastrophic floods, fires, earthquakes, ozone depletion, water pollution, etc.

I am sending out unconditional

Love, which is holy light, to each who sees this post. Have a wonderful weekend, full of all good things. 💝🙏🏻✝️🤗

These are for me. These are my babies. Mine.

I may not support her politics but that one stop me from admiring her for being the intelligent, love full person that she is.

You give Joe Biden too much credit. He has done nothing in his decades long political career to help this.
