THE EDGE OF THE CLIFF

1 week ago | transformarticles.com | Marianne Williamson

It’s not an accident that those doing the most to harm the world are doing the most to protect themselves from the harm that they are causing. From building massive nuclear fallout-resistant compounds to rocket ships to take them out of here, those whose idea of utopia is more more more are creating a dystopia for the rest of us called less less less. It’s not that these guys aren’t brilliant, because many of them are. The problem is that their vision of the future has no soul.
THE MAGNIFICENT CRONE

Dear Friends,I realize my readership here is varied: some of you are interested in my writings about spirituality and personal growth, while some are more interested in my political essays. Some of you find meaning in both. This particular substack is about a seminar I’m doing on June 8, meant specifically for women over the age of 50. If that’s you, please read on…Thanks,MarianneWhen I turned fifty, it felt difficult. When I turned sixty, it felt powerful.
WE'RE AMERICANS. WE GOT THIS.

Many clergy, psychotherapists, healers and social workers these days are seeing in the people they deal with a high level of anxiety, much higher than usual. That’s in stark contrast, of course, to the MAGA enthusiasts celebrating what they deem to be the beginnings of a marvelous Golden Age. As one woman told a friend of mine recently, she feels like “America is back!” To many, however, it feels like the America we knew is shutting down.

Current time: 0:00 / Total time: -1:16Audio playback is not supported on your browser. Please upgrade. May I do one thing today that interrupts my fear. Today is the day of my release, as I declare myself free of the bondage of the ego. I will do one thing, however small, to forge a path of greatness where I have formerly cowered in fear. I need not repair every aspect of my wounded self today. I need only practice the thinking and behavior of a greater good.

Current time: 0:00 / Total time: -1:18Audio playback is not supported on your browser. Please upgrade. May I see myself as God sees me. God created me as a perfect creation, and so in spirit I remain. May the light of my internal perfection cast out any darkness in my mortal self. Thus may I express in the world the love that is in my heart. May God's opinion, and not the opinions of others, determine how I see myself. May God's thoughts, and not my own, determine what is possible for me.
MY THOUGHTS ON MOTHER'S DAY

3 weeks ago | transformarticles.com | Marianne Williamson

I’m sorry to enter your inbox twice in one day, but I shared some thoughts on video about Mother’s Day and I want to send it along…Many children in this country live in constant terror now that their mothers will be torn away. Unfortunately their fear is justified. The ICE raids now going on are traumatizing innocent men, women, and children who do not deserve this. The raids are helping no one and are harming millions.
PAINFUL TIMES CAN BE SACRED TIMES

I once read a story about an experiment involving a village of chimpanzees. A few of the chimps were what we might describe as “depressed” - they didn’t eat, sleep or play with the rest of the community, but rather hung around its edges in what mimicked a morose state. Wondering what effect it would have on the rest of the community if the depressed chimps were taken away for a while, researchers removed their part of the population. What happened then was astonishing.

It is not what I do, but rather who I am, that determines the quality of my lifeI center my mind on the love in my heart, that I might be a beam of light to whomever I meet today. I need not worry what to do or say, for the Holy Spirit will guide my thoughts and actions. My highest function and greatest mission is simply to be, in any moment, the person I am capable of being. May the love of God extend through me to bless the entire world. Thus may I shine and feel the joy of being my true self.
THE SATYAGRAHA POPE

4 weeks ago | transformarticles.com | Marianne Williamson

Humanitarians, progressives and Christians who are truly interested in the teachings of Christ are jubilant over the choice of Robert Prevost as Pope. At a moment when American public policy reflects a moral abyss - inverting every injunction to heal the sick, feed the hungry, and help the poor into its opposite- the first American Pope stands as a reminder of the American soul we seem to have misplaced.
TYRANNY IS A REAL THING

1 month ago | transformarticles.com | Marianne Williamson

Given that the federal workforce comes to 4 per cent of our national budget, the continued DOGE-inspired slashing of its ranks does next to nothing to save taxpayer money. It’s causing great harm to people’s lives, however, as well as threatening the health and safety of our country. For all their talk about efficiency, it hardly makes government more efficient if you kneecap its ability to function. Make no mistake about it, that was their intention all along.
