Quote

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.

Image
In a choice between love and fear, choose love.
Marianne Williamson
Image
There are people today who look to fear to take us out of fear. But I believe that there are many, many more people who would look to love.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Spiritual wisdom is now available to everyone, disseminated to the masses as never before in world history.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Given how deeply the ways of war have penetrated our collective consciousness, it will take spiritual power to turn the issue around.
Marianne Williamson
Image
If you're getting your guidance about who you are and what to do with your life only from the external world, then by definition you'll be led away from your authentic truth. Your authentic truth isn't in the material world. It's counterintuitive, but you have more power in the world when you know you're not of it.
Marianne Williamson
Image
As difficult as it can be to find genuine inner calm, it is the key to creating peace in the world as we know it. The world will not change until we do, and there is nothing the world can deliver to us that will give us the peace we crave. Peace comes not from the world, but from God.
Marianne Williamson
Image
If your eyes were open to all the beauty in the world, you would be overwhelmed with joy.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Personal growth can be painful, because it can make us feel ashamed and humiliated to face our own darkness. But our spiritual goal is the journey out of fear-based, painful mental habit patterns, to those of love and peace.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Enter any moment devoid of agenda, with an absence of posturing, and with your only intention being to send love to everyone you meet or even think of... Happiness, miracles and inner peace will follow.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Sometimes a miracle is a change in material conditions, such as physical healing. At other times, it is a psychological or emotional change.
Marianne Williamson
Image
A lot of us simply disengaged from politics altogether, but then we woke up and went wow, wait a minute. Why does that insane conversation get to dominate? Who made those people the creators of the conversation? And how can we start a new one?
Marianne Williamson
Image
A relationship is more of an assignment than a choice. We can walk away from the assignment, but we cannot walk away from the lessons it presents. We stay with a relationship until a lesson is learned, or we simply learn it another way.
Marianne Williamson
Image
There are other kinds of emotional pain that emerge from our own mistaken thinking. As we surrender that pain, we are inviting into our thought system a guide who will lead us to different thoughts. It’s like the song “Amazing Grace”: I was blind and now I see.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Sometimes we think, We're the only people who see it this way, but that's really not the case.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Obviously, our political system is profoundly corrupted by, among other things, the influence of money. But, at a deeper level, the current structure is flawed because it looks to citizens for only two things - votes and money. I don't think we will see any healing until citizens are viewed in a whole new way.
Marianne Williamson
Image
For many people, God is a frightening idea. Asking God for help doesn't seem very comforting if we think of Him as something outside ourselves, or capricious, or judgmental. But God is love and He dwells within us. We are created in His image, or mind, which means that we are extensions of His love, or Sons and Daughters of God.
Marianne Williamson
Image
If you want to end darkness you cannot beat it with a baseball bat, you have to turn on a light.
Marianne Williamson
Image
There is no amount of money, time or energy too great to spend on our children. They are our angels, our future. In failing them, we are failing ourselves.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I don't think making love the new bottom line is naïve I believe that thinking we can survive the next hundred years doing anything less, is naïve.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I feel that if your soul was branded by the sixties, you never lost the brand. It's like going into a nightclub and having your hand stamped so that you don't have to come back but you can come back.
