Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONLove is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONThought is cause: experience is effect. If you don’t like the effects in your life, you have to change the nature of your thinking.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONWe are not here to fix, change or belittle another person. We are here to support, forgive and heal one another.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONLove is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONDarkness is merely the absence of light, and fear is merely the absence of love. If we want to be rid of fear, we cannot fight it but must replace it with love.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONBehind every fear, there is a miracle waiting.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONAny situation that pushes our buttons is a situation where we don’t yet have the capacity to be unconditionally loving.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONTo the ego mind, surrender means giving up. To the spiritual mind, surrender means giving in and receiving.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONWe are not held back by the love we didn’t receive in the past, but by the love we’re not extending in the present.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONJust like a sunbeam can’t separate itself from the sun, and a wave can’t separate itself from the ocean, we can’t separate ourselves from one another. We are all part of a vast sea of love, one indivisible divine mind.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONA miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONWithholding love is a form of self-sabotage, as what we withhold from others we are withholding from ourselves.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONCarrying the past in to the present, we program the future to continue the past. Letting go the past in the present, we free the future to be something else.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONThe goal of spiritual practice is full recovery, and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONLove is a wave flowing in the direction of bliss for all living things. It will carry you if you allow it to flow through you.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSONThe one good thing about failure is that it makes you consider doing things a different way.
