Our internal state determines our experience of our lives our experiences do not determine our internal state.

Our divine perfection - not registered by the physical eye but only by the heart’s knowing - is who we truly are. Our mortal imperfections - registered by the physical senses - are not who we truly are. Yet we keep trying, in love, to find each other’s perfection within the world of imperfection. And it simply is not there.

Image
When we do align with it, we thrive. And when we do not, we suffer. This is not punishment. It is merely the Law of Cause and Effect. With each thought we think, we either align with universal love, or we disconnect ourselves from it. Whichever is our choice determines whether we then feel connected to, or disconnected, from our own true Selve

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.

Image
Like a great athlete, we must have a very clear vision of what we want to accomplish before we make a move. Vision, in preparation for an action, is as important as the action itself.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The world as it is perceived by most people, is a world of finite resources.
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
We tend to have tremendous faith in the power of our disasters and far too little faith in the power of miracles.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.

Family... a group experience of love and support.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I find being a mother harder than I though it was going to be. That is a tremendous revelation for me personally. Much more time, more care, more attention and more effort needs to be spent on care for the children. That will save the world at large.
Marianne Williamson
Image
You are emerging from the cocoon of your former self. There are no limits to the extent of the transformation that's possible for you.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Fill you mind with the meaningless stimuli of a world preoccupied with meaningless things, and it will not be easy to feel peace in your heart.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it. If we're frantic, life will be frantic. If we're peaceful, life will be peaceful. And so our goal in any situation becomes inner peace.

Anybody can be heard. Anyone can express their truths. And communication is possible without the confines of the body.
