You receive the light through what you read, through what you hear in meditation, or through some spiritual practice.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The highest level of creativity consists in being, not doing. When the being is intense enough, when the words are spoken enough, when the thoughts are thought enough, the doing will automatically follow.

Image
I believe that the spirit of God enters into the details and if we ask for guidance we will be led to the places where we can learn most fully because we can be most joyful. If I'm in a place that's lonely, I think God has one or two things to say. Extend your hand in service so that you might meet people or go somewhere else - or both.

Image
I want to be a cheerleader for women who have never even considered running for office or being involved in a campaign, but who in the quietness of their hearts might think, 'Why not me?'
Marianne Williamson
Image
I don't think that my twenties were any more dramatic than those of most people I know. I was never that bad and I never became that good.

Putting love first means knowing that the universe supports you in creating the good, the holy, and the beautiful. It means knowing that you're on the earth for a purpose, and that the purpose itself will create opportunities for its accomplishment.

Marianne Williamson
Image
The bottom line in love is not whether someone loves you, but whether someone chooses you.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Love is a hero’s journey, and the hero’s journey is a noble but difficult path.
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.
Marianne Williamson
Image
To me, that's the important issue about spiritual principle: that you recognize it as both that which saves you from the self-sabotaging mind and that which heals you and lifts you up when you succumb to it and attract whatever personal disaster you attract.

Image
Things don't spiral out of control when we surrender them they spiral out of control when we try to control them!
Marianne Williamson
Image
While overeating would be seen by some as an indulgence of self, it is in fact a profound rejection of self. It is a moment of self-betrayal and self-punishment, and anything but a commitment to one's own well-being.
Marianne Williamson
Image
It is not too late. You are not too old. You are right on time-And you are better than you know.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Whether we love, or close our hearts to love, is a mental choice we make, every moment of every day.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We are all part of a vast sea of love. One indivisible mind.

The Goddess doesn't enter us from outside she emerges from deep within. She is not held back by what happened in the past. She is conceived in consciousness, born in love, and nurtured by higher thinking. She is integrity and value, created and sustained by the hard work of personal growth and the discipline of a life lived actively in hope.
