When we begin to see each other through what the metaphysician calls, the third eye, we begin to know each other on a level that is beyond what our physical eyes can see.
Marianne Williamson
Image
When an idea reaches critical mass there is no stopping the shift its presence will induce.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The only thing we have to give to the world is our own grasp on it.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Our internal state determines our experience of our lives our experiences do not determine our internal state.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The pain itself is a product or a reflection of how I am interpreting whatever it is that is causing me pain.
Marianne Williamson
Image
There is no way that carrying fifty or sixty extra pounds is easy on your heart, your lungs, or your liver. That's a fact. Every person in the world, no matter what size, shape, or form they are, deserves respect and love. But that doesn't mean we are supposed to pretend that something is healthy when in fact it is not.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Obviously, I don't want to minimize the patriarchal nature of our media, our government and our culture as a whole. But I think it's our refusal as women to own our power that is our biggest problem, both individually and collectively. The linchpin that holds the current system in place is the slumber of women.

Just like a sunbeam can't separate itself from the sun, and a wave can't separate itself from the ocean, we can't separate ourselves from one another. We are all part of a vast sea of love, one indivisible divine mind.
Marianne Williamson
Image
At the highest level of awareness, the greatest gift given and received when you give someone flowers, is the joy of living a life based on love.
Marianne Williamson
Image
There is a point at which we begin to receive a diminishing return on the accumulation of sacred knowledge unless we use it to at least try to improve the world.
Marianne Williamson
Image
From a mind filled with infinite love comes the power to create infinite possibilities. We have the power to think in ways that reflect and attract all the love in the world. Such thinking is called enlightenment. Enlightenment is not a process we work toward, but a choice available to us in any instant.

Image
Always be open to new beginnings. To the universe, every moment is the start of the next big thing in your life.

Image
Bless more blame less.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Joy is our goal, our destiny. We cannot know who we are except in joy. Not knowing joy, we do not know ourselves.
Marianne Williamson
Image
If you are not grieving, you are not conscious. But if you are not rejoicing in the possibilities of how this could all change, then you are not looking through the filter of the greatest spiritual perspicacity.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The key to a successful career is realizing that it's not separate from the rest of your life, but is rather an extension of your most basic self. And your most basic self is love.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The world won't step into its greatness until we step into ours.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Problems come about when we try to direct the flow of the universe rather than allow it to reveal its own design. Inherent in that design is a love for all living things.
Marianne Williamson
Image
In asking for miracles, we are seeking a practical goal: a return to inner peace. We’re not asking for something outside us to change, but for something inside us to change. We’re looking for a softer orientation to life.

The Law of Divine Compensation posits that this is a self-organizing and self-correcting universe: the embryo becomes a baby, the bud becomes a blossom, the acorn becomes an oak tree. Clearly, there is some invisible force that is moving every aspect of reality to its next best expression.
