More quotes by Marianne Williamson
We need not wait for the world to become more mystical the world is mystical. Our problem is not that the world lacks magic our problem is that we don't believe in its magic. We do not show up fully for life, and then wonder why life is not showing up more fully for us.

I think future generations will see the invention of the Internet as having been as important as the invention of the printing press. It’s the democratizing tool of all tools. As long as no one can control the flow of information, then freedom always has a chance.

Claim the possibility of a miraculous shift toward global transformation, allow the thought to move through you like a wave of energy, then emerge ready for the task of doing your part to make it happen.
Marianne Williamson
The world loves us when we choose to love the world.
Marianne Williamson
Our religious institutions have far too often become handmaidens of the status quo, while the genuine religious experience is anything but that. True religion is by nature disruptive of what has been, giving birth to the eternally new.

When we stay close to the wisdom of our knowing, seeking solutions to our problems in the sanctuary of the heart and not in the vanity of the mind, then we can pretty much trust in the unfolding, mysterious wisdom of life.
Marianne Williamson
With every prayer and every thought of love, we release the light that will cast out darkness. One light alone seems small and weak, but no one's light is ever alone, for all our lights are part of God.
Marianne Williamson
Life is a constant back-and-forth. We take a breath in and then we breathe out. The same is true for the culture as a whole.
Marianne Williamson
Behind every fear, there is a miracle waiting.
Marianne Williamson
You don't have to be a spiritual seeker, you can be a businessman dealing with the revolution in computers. You could be a congressman, or a scientist. No matter what area of life and endeavor we are in we are seeing the signs of new-paradigm thinking.
Marianne Williamson
People crave comfort, people crave connection, people crave community.
Marianne Williamson
Beyond drama and chaos, beyond anxiety and fear, lies a zone of endless peace and love. Let's all take a very deep breath, slow down for just a moment and remember this. That alone will open the door.
Marianne Williamson
A certain desperation is usually necessary before we're ready for God... Until your knees finally hit the floor, you're just playing at life, and on some level you're scared because you know you're just playing. The moment of surrender is not when life is over. It's when it begins
Marianne Williamson
From a pure metaphysical perspective, there is no world outside ourselves. So, at the deepest level, the state of the planet is more a reflection of the consciousness of mankind than the consciousness of mankind is a reflection of world events.
Marianne Williamson
Nobody wants to die feeling that they have not sung their song.
Marianne Williamson
As we become purer channels for God's light, we develop an appetite for the sweetness that is possible in this world. A miracle worker is not geared toward fighting the world that is, but toward creating the world that could be.
Marianne Williamson
Only what I am not giving can be lacking in any situation.
Marianne Williamson
You must master a new way to think, before you can master a new way to be.
