pickMarianne Williamson‘s book should really be required reading if you‘re a registered voter. She combines her course in miracles with a civics lesson. My mom taught high school social studies with an emphasis on government. I wish schools still taught how important our responsibilities are as citizens. Williamson really elevates our current discussion on American politics. A must-read! 🗳
pickIf you think Williamson is a bit strange, that‘s okay. But she says a lot things that make sense. This book isn‘t religious, it‘s about getting back to where we should be, to helping each other, to realize our strength when we come together. Please read this book, look around, and ask where our country is going. #vote
Politics... when we get it right, it can be a beautiful thing, but when we get it wrong it can be a terrible thing. And we are all responsible for that. With every election, with every campaign, we are deciding something extremely important. We are deciding what is possibly the fate of millions, the fate of the earth, even perhaps the fate of humanity.
The whole idea of national boundaries is a man-made material category. National borders have a place in our material functioning. But they should be used to organize our societies, not to divide our hearts.
Demonizing others brings out the demons in those who demonize.
For every problem, whether personal or societal, the solution lies in the realization of our oneness and the expansion of our love.
As with any other species, our opportunity for survival lies in the presence of an evolutionary alternative, or mutation. For the human species, that mutation is a mutation of consciousness.
A world in which we habitually and powerfully attack not only each other but even our own habitat, is a world the laws of evolution will not support.
History has shown us what fear can do, but it also has shown us what love can do.
Peaceful revolution is waged not with guns or bullets or violence, but with votes and consciousness and love.
A democratic revolution can‘t be fought once, as in 1776, and then simply considered handled. Democracy is never safe from those who find it inconvenient to their purposes. Every generation has to rise up in its own time, face the challenges of its own day, and continue the revolution in its own way.
Went to the library yesterday looking to check out Williamson‘s book—got it and bought these other three. I am really excited to read this in her perspective. Our nation is in a dark time and it is critical that we turn it around. #lovewins
