She's one of my favorite persons and truly an enlightened soul. Marianne Williamson is one of the ultimate change angents in the world and in this powerful, life-changing interview, I asked Marianne how she came to write and release this book, The Gift of Change. She said, "I think when you get to meet anybody as a reader; to really reach them is if you are speaking from what is true to you. All of my books are speaking from where I was at that moment; what am I thinking about, what am I going through? This book is no different. I was really fascinated by this principle in the Course in Miracles that the moment a mistake occurs, the complete healing of the mistake, the solution to any problem is born into the mind of God the moment the mistake occurs. I was really interested in how that applied to the World Trade Center bombings being hit by those planes. If you follow the principles in the Course In Miracles, it will tell that the moment the planes hit the World Trade Center this plan was created that would completely heal this whole problem but God can't do for us what He can't do through us." "We say that God has a plan by definition it's a plan that people carry out but the state of the world we are in now reflects the state of consciousness we've been in. so to say God has a plan for the healing of the world means also God has a plan for us becoming the people we need to be. It seems to me that the stress, not just that the world has been in but so many individuals have been in the last year or two has been as though subconsciously we've been putting ourselves through changes that would come about when we face the issues we need to face in order to breakthrough and become the people we need to be." In the introduction of the book, Marianne has a chapter entitled, "The Challenge to Grow", where she talks about a collective depression she explained, "I do think there is a collective depression because after 9/11 and what I talk about in the book is that we don't have a positive conversation about emotional depth, spiritual depth and intellectual depth. Case in point, there is a singer, Jessica Simpson and her husband Nick. Maybe I have heard this woman sing one song on television but I do know this, I can't go anywhere; buy a carton of milk or pass a newsstand without being confronted by these magazines that ask the question, 'will Jessica and Nick's marriage make it?' I don't even know who these people are but I do know this. There are people dieing in Iraq, I know that we have not handled this terrorism issue, I know that a lot of the world is angry at us and I know that there is a lot of human suffering so why are we obsessed and why is the media focusing on whether or not Jessica and Nick's marriage makes it? This is perfect example of the neurosis of our popular culture." You do not want to miss this candid SHOCKteleconference MP3 Download with one of the most forward thinking spiritual gurs of our time!
