| e6e337f | Eastern religions tell us that if we go for God, all that is not authentically ourselves will drop. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| f12b03d | All of a sudden, you're not too proud to ask for help. That's what it means to surrender to God. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 998c857 | Love taken seriously is a radical outlook, a major departure from the psychological orientation that rules the world. It is threatening not because it is a small idea, but because it is so huge. | Marianne Williamson | ||

| ac14769 | The source of violence is in our heads. As it would not be appropriate to ignore "just a little" cancer in the body, so it is not appropriate for us to ignore "just a little" violent thinking. A little cancer, unchecked, turns into a monstrous killer. So do small, insidious, seemingly harmless judgmental thought forms become the pervasive cancers that threaten to destroy a society. As the body's defenses against cancer center around a healt.. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 95c8c76 | A healthy, civilized society can absorb some anger and dysfunction, as a healthy immune system can absorb some disease. But a massive buildup of anger and mean-spiritedness bombarding our social system day in and day out in millions upon millions of individual doses overwhelms our societal defenses. Medicine does little good in the absence of a healthy immune system. Likewise police and other institutional efforts to counter violence do lit.. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 091c0e7 | United States today, there is a widespread, malignant thought form that other people are the problem. Conservatives tend to blame liberals for our problems, while liberals blame conservatives. The media blames almost everyone, and almost everyone blames immigrants. Some people are convinced homosexuals are the problem, while others think that single mothers are the problem. Still others think the Christian Right is the problem, and far, far.. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 98fb21f | Dear God, Please impress upon me The vision of whom I am meant to be. Reveal to me the bigger life That You would have me live. Undo the forces that keep me bound, That I might serve You more. Amen. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 2775044 | My ego mind--my own self-hatred masquerading as self-love--would point me always in the direction of fear, luring me toward the blaming thought, the attack or defense, the perception of guilt in myself or others. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 2a56a75 | Looking for Mr. Right leads to desperation because there is no Mr. Right. There is no Mr. Right because there is no Mr. Wrong. There is whoever is in front of us, and the perfect lessons to be learned from that person. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 5e05b11 | When two people come together in God, the walls that appear to separate us disappear. The beloved doesn't seem to be a mere mortal. They seem for a while to be something else, something more. The truth is, they are something more. No one is anything less than the perfect Son of God, and when we fall in love, we have an instant when we see the total truth about someone. They are perfect. That's not just our imagination. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 19981f2 | Ego says, 'Once everything falls into place, I'll feel peace.' Spirit says, 'Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place.'" - MARIANNE WILLIAMSON" | Ziad Masri | ||
| 0b3b170 | According to A Course in Miracles, this separation from God first happened millions of years ago. But the important revelation, the crux of the Course, is that in reality it never happened at all. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 0b2d80a | Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 26b955b | Jesus lived within this world of fear, and perceived only love. Every action, every word, every thought was guided by the Holy Spirit instead of the ego. He was a thoroughly purified being. To think about him is to think about, and so to call forth, the perfect love inside ourselves. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 1c40437 | A Course in Miracles says that only love is real: "The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite." When we think with love, we are literally co-creating with God. And when we're not thinking with love, since only love is real, then we're actually not thinking at all. We're hallucinating. And that's what this world is: a mass hallucination, where fear seems more real than love. Fear is an illusion. Our crazi.. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 024457d | T]horoughly unprepared we take the step into the afternoon of life; worse still, we take this step with the false assumption that our truths and ideals will serve us as hitherto. But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning; for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie. -- Carl Jung, Stages of Life | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 9258415 | If we're talented at music, that talent is of god. If something makes our heart sing, that's god's way of telling us its a contribution he wants us to make. Sharing our gifts is what makes us happy. We're most powerful and god's power is most apparent on the earth when we're happy. A course in miracles teaches that we are only truly happy when we're doing god's will. The only thing to be saved from is our own negativity and fear. The cr.. | purpose talent | Marianne Williamson | |
| f6f17b4 | As we let our own light shine, we... give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. --MARIANNE WILLIAMSON | Amy Cuddy | ||
| 4dadeee | Your job is to allow the Holy Spirit to remove the fearful thinking that surrounds your perfect self, just as excess marble surrounded Michelangelo's perfect statue. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| e2671a0 | In the Christic tradition, this is the meaning of 'becoming as a little child.' Little children don't think they know what things mean, in fact, they know they don't know. They ask someone older and wiser to explain things to them. We're like children who don't know but think we do. We're meant to shine. Look at small children. They're all so unique before they start trying to be, because they demonstrate the power of genuine humilit.. | inspiration humility | Marianne Williamson | |
| fc235f6 | I love this Marianne Williamson quote: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other peo.. | Jessica N. Turner | ||
| 1e87e67 | We're not aligned with the Holy Spirit until people can behave in any way they choose to, and our own inner peace isn't shaken. There | Marianne Williamson | ||
| c6acf9d | The difference between a friendship and a romance is illustrated in the image of a long-stemmed rose. The stem is the friendship, the blossom is the romance. Because the ego is sensation-oriented, our focus automatically goes to the blossom, but all the nourishment which the blossom needs in order to live reaches it through the stem. The stem might look boring in comparison, but if you take the blossom off the stem, it will not last for .. | romance | Marianne Williamson | |
| 3035da4 | because only love is real. It is our function to see through the illusion of guilt, to the innocence that lies beyond. "To forgive is merely to remember only the loving thoughts you gave in the past, and those that were given you. All" | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 3106d6f | It amuses me to think how angry I used to get when people wouldn't sign my peace petitions. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 774c5b4 | that is real in our past is the love we gave and the love we received. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 1f6441e | I remember spending years of my life so upset about all of the life choices I felt I had available that I never moved. I was paralyzed by all the possibilities. I couldn't figure out which road would lead me to the fulfillment of my potential, this glorious, neurotic myth that lay always just in front of whatever I could manifest now. So I was always too scared to move, and fear of course is the great betrayer of self. The difference betwee.. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 6304088 | Meaning doesn't lie in things. Meaning lies in us. When we attach value to things that aren't love--the money, the car, the house, the prestige--we are loving things that can't love us back. We are searching for meaning in the meaningless. Money, of itself, means nothing. Material things, of themselves, mean nothing. It's not that they're bad. It's that they're nothing. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 36b69bc | Love is within us. It cannot be destroyed, but can only be hidden. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| ecca271 | A certain amount of desperation is usually necessary before we're ready for God. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 687d09b | We're affected by other peoples' lovelessness only to the extent to which we judge them for it. Otherwise we are invulnerable to the ego, as the Son of God is meant to be. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 68375e6 | The irony is that the opposite is true: available people are the ones who are dangerous, because they confront us with the possibility of real intimacy. They might actually hang around long enough to get to know us. They could melt our defenses, not through violence but through love. This is what the ego doesn't want us to see. Available people are frightening. They threaten the ego's citadel. The reason we're not attracted to them is becau.. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 012350f | Whether we're forgiving our parents or someone else or ourselves, the laws of mind remain the same. As we love, we shall be released from pain and as we deny love, we shall remain in pain. Each of us have different fears and different manifestations of fear, but all of us are saved by the same technique: The call to God to save our lives by salvaging our minds. 'Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For love is the kin.. | love personal-growth | Marianne Williamson | |
| a7d883e | Sometimes, in fact, it was the people who loved us the most who felt it was their responsibility to train us to struggle. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| abeeed8 | Forgiveness is like the martial arts of consciousness. In aikido and other martial arts, we sidestep our attacker's force rather than resisting it. The energy of the attack then boomerangs back in the direction of the attacker. forgiveness works in the same way. When we attack back, and defense is a form of attack, we initiate a war which no one can win. | inspirational | Marianne Williamson | |
| 4c4f0c5 | God has lit your mind Himself, and keeps your mind lit by His Light because His Light is what your mind is. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 0bb295c | If we really desire a moral answer to the Holocaust, we do everything in our power to create a world in which it could never happen again. As | Marianne Williamson | ||
| cd6c416 | Partners are meant to have a priestly role in each other's lives. They are meant to help each other access the highest parts within themselves. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| c8559b2 | What the ego doesn't want us to see is that our pain doesn't come from the love we weren't given in the past, but from the love we ourselves aren't giving in the present. Salvation | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 06fc5f2 | The ego is our pain, but it is what we know and we resist moving out of it. The effort it takes to grow out of painful patterns often feels more uncomfortable than remaining within them. Personal growth can be so painful because it can make us ashamed and humiliated to face our own darkness. But the goal of personal growth is the journey out of dark emotional patterns which cause us pain to those which cause us peace. | personal-growth | Marianne Williamson | |
| a92ec15 | and seeing that face, touching it and loving it in ourselves and others, is the experience of God. It is our divine humanness. It is the high we all seek. | Marianne Williamson |
