I think those of us on a spiritual journey can help create a new conversation, a new America, and a new world.

You are free to experience life negatively or positively, and the choice you make determines whether you are at cause, or at effect, of the life you are living.

If there is anything interesting about my story it's the fact that it's not unique at all. I feel that I have been through what almost everyone I know has - a slow and gradual maturation process.
Marianne Williamson -
You must master a new way to think, before you can master a new way to be.

Forgiveness is like the martial arts of consciousness. In Aikido and, other martial arts, we sidestep our attackers force rather than resisting it. The energy of the attack then boomerangs back in the direction of the attacker. Our power lies in remaining nonreactive. Forgiveness works in the same way. When we attack back, and defense is a form of attack, we initiate a war that no one can win.
Marianne Williamson -
The spiritual meaning of every situation [is] not what happens to us, but what we do with what happens to us and who we decide to become because of what happens to us. The only real failure is the failure to grow from what we go through.
Marianne Williamson -
Love is the intuitive knowledge of our hearts.
Marianne Williamson -
If we had the government we deserved we would have the most righteous government, because we deserve the best - everybody does.

Imagine how differently American business would function were our faith in the power of goodness to replace our faith in the power of money. Huge industries would no longer make billions of dollars on activities that diminish the well-being and safety of our children, our health, and our environment, on the pretext that it's "just business." To put money before goodness is idolatry, and the laws of the universe ensure that in the end all idols will fall.
Marianne Williamson -
We will have gone from men telling us condescendingly to not bother our pretty little heads about important things like politics, to not bothering our pretty little heads without even being told not to! The suffragettes struggled and suffered so much on our behalf; what a travesty of everything they stood for, if we simply look away as though we can't be bothered.
Marianne Williamson -
Institutional memory is important in any organization, but so are fresh ideas.
Marianne Williamson -
Each of us has a unique part to play in the healing of the world.
Marianne Williamson -
I am a student of universal spiritual principles, and I read theology and spiritual writings, so my grasp of basic spiritual principles is fairly good.
Marianne Williamson -
Sometimes when we don't know the answer, it's time to simply be with the question.
Marianne Williamson
-
Sobriety itself is today's high, for it is ultimately in the most centered consciousness that we find our power to transcend the world.
Marianne Williamson -
Children are happy because they don't have all the "facts" yet.
Marianne Williamson -
We are more afraid of excellence than of failure.
Marianne Williamson -
The pain itself is a product or a reflection of how I am interpreting whatever it is that is causing me pain.
Marianne Williamson -
The part of the brain that is watching the television and is on the computer at the same time, preparing to jump onto the treadmill for 15 minutes, might be able to lead into sex, but it would be hard put to lead us to romance, or to real authentic human connection.
Marianne Williamson -
I feel that as women we've allowed ourselves to be deluded by certain ideas that hold us back, such as the over-glorification of masculine consciousness.
Marianne Williamson
-
It is your thoughts and your thoughts alone that determine what's possible for you now.
Marianne Williamson -
I trust that when people meet, we meet for a transcendent reason, and that the challenges we face in life are always lessons that serve our soul's growth.
Marianne Williamson -
The deepest feelings always show itself in silence.
Marianne Williamson -
We cannot get to our knowledge because the world is too loud. And we tend to make it louder as we cry out in pain, pretending we are singing.
