The way I see it, we teach our children through modeling.

If we come to see that this world does not have the final word, then we open our mind and therefore our entire lives to experience the possibility of infinite possibilities.
Marianne Williamson
-
To bear witness to all the unnecessary suffering on the planet and make ourselves available to service - whatever that means for each of us. We go deep in our personal relationships in America, but we need to go deep in our public relationships as well.

Our career is not something that we go out and *find.* Your perfect career is something that emerges from deep within you. When you are aligned with the truth within yourself, then you magnetize people and circumstances which align with that truth.

Sometimes when we don't know the answer, it's time to simply be with the question.

Pleasure can be used to enslave a people just as effectively as pain.

Imagine any problem you have to be a huge, locked door standing in front of you. Now see yourself taking a golden key out of your pocket. You brought the key here with you when you arrived on this planet, but you sometimes forget to use it. See yourself putting it into the keyhole, then watch the door swing open. On the key are inscribed these words, "Unconditional Love."

Nature is infinitely creative. It is always producing the possibility of new beginnings.

Spiritual Work is not easy. It means the willingness to surrender feelings that seem, while we're in them, like our defense against a greater pain. It means that we surrender to God our perceptions of all things.

God is the electricity and we are the lamps.

To me, when I think of New Age, I think of crystals and rainbows and platitudes.
Marianne Williamson
-
No conventional therapy can release us from a deep and abiding psychic pain. Through prayer we find what we cannot find elsewhere: a peace that is not of this world.
Marianne Williamson

There's no reason to think that you'll be capable of loyalty to a diet until you address your basic disloyalty toward yourself.
Marianne Williamson

If we only identify with the mortal world, then we identify with a level of scarcity and lack and brokenness, and that will be our experience.

The fact that the commercial success of my books has allowed me to buy a house for myself and my daughter I think is a lovely thing. I don't think there is anything wrong with that.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

Forgiveness is key to enchanted love because it is key to living right, period. It is the capacity to see beyond the veil of personality and worldly illusions. No one is perfect or attractive every day. Forgiveness means we are capable of relating to someone on a deeper level than the ordinary self. And that we are committed to doing so no matter what the appearances are, no matter what the situation is.

I love prayer candles, and I use them often.

Sobriety itself is today's high, for it is ultimately in the most centered consciousness that we find our power to transcend the world.

Calling something "new age" is one of the media's biggest canons. If you're called "new age," you couldn't possibly be serious, you couldn't possibly have anything deep to say, and you probably hang out in California too much - and we know that no one in California reads books or has any serious thoughts!
Marianne Williamson
-
We live in a world of easy friendships - people here for you when it's easy, 'so-sorry-but-I-have-an-errand-to-do-now' when it's not.
Marianne Williamson
-
Each of us is born with an internal navigational system. The thinking of the world has a way of switching the system off, but we can always turn it on again through prayer, meditation and forgiveness. Doing this puts us back on track in our lives, making us wise, convicted and powerful.
Marianne Williamson
