It's soul force that removed the English from India. It's soul force that brought down the Berlin Wall. It's soul force that gave life to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s struggle for civil rights.

Family... a group experience of love and support.

With every thought we think, we either summon or block a miracle.

Image
There is a lot to look at when you are serious about transformation. You look at everything you've ever done, every circumstance you've ever been in, cleaning up everything in your past. Reconciling, forgiving others, forgiving yourself. It's a lot of work, actually.

There are clearly times when quieting down and bringing our energy back into ourselves is a step toward inner peace. Yet the most powerful life is not one in which we bring ourselves back to our center when we have spun away from it, but rather one in which we seek to live from that center at all times.

As long as we remain vigilant at building our internal abundance—an abundance of integrity, an abundance of forgiveness, an abundance of service, an abundance of love—then external lack is bound to be temporary.

The sense of endings as well as beginnings in the air is now so obvious in so many dimensions of our experience that a critical mass has been reached.

Image
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

People who are meditating every day and involved in a serious spiritual practice don't usually wake up in the morning and want to rush out to eat a bunch of junk food.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Maturity includes the recognition that no one is going to see anything in us that we don't see in ourselves. Stop waiting for a producer. Produce yourself.
Marianne Williamson

Today is a day for sober and mature reflection, not glee. Mindless celebration is both spiritually inappropriate and politically naive.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Any situation that pushes our buttons is a situation where we don't yet have the capacity to be unconditionally loving.
Marianne Williamson
Image
You can't remove that layer of pain by just saying, Okay, I'm not going to wallow in it. The only way to remove that layer of pain is to face what it says and to recognize it as the look in the mirror that it is, reflecting the things you did that you wish you hadn't done and the things you didn't do that you wish you had done.

May my heart be your shelter, and my arms be your home.

Every relationship either gives energy to us or withholds energy from us, according to what we give to or withhold from it. And it's not only our behavior toward others, but our very thoughts about them, that builds and/ or destroys relationships.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We aren't bodies at all who we are is the love inside us, and it is that love alone that determines our value. When our minds are filled with light, there is no room for darkness.

Image
When an idea reaches critical mass there is no stopping the shift its presence will induce.

Don't think small and expect to have a big life.

Behind every dark cloud there is an every-shining sun. Just wait. In time, the cloud will pass.

Miracles begin when we consider the possibility that there might be another way.
