Marianne, your perspective is right on! I liked this sentence: "While the ways of the past are a catastrophic guide to the future, the current administration is not so much transitioning to something better as doubling down on what has not worked before." Sadly, the old paradigm of patriarchy that encompasses power, domination, and control isn't applicable in this century! We, indeed, need co-creative collaborative processes to achieve justice and peace.

I look forward to reading your foreign policy ideas. Your steadfast convictions to keep writing, speaking, and showing up gives me the courage to go on and fight for truly progressive policies for the people that you offer in spades! I thank you for your courage every day! Joan Halgren

I am not certain American Zoetroper what you are trying to exactly say here. However, I agree with Yuval Noah Harari that 2/3 of life is fictional; all we need to be aware of are our senses, imagination, feelings, and thinking. And probably the only thing that truly matters is getting into the gap, within silence. to gain some sort of insights by observing one's feelings and senses--learning something new. Yet, to what extent anything really matters we do not really know nor, perhaps, does it even matter. It's amazing we exist here at all! But the narratives we tell repeatedly are significant and create history: true or not. Funny!

Your right. Great, positive progress can happen when folks abide with the same story! Any idea on which one will help humanity evolve? Or will AI do that? Anything seems possible. Enjoy your day 🤗,

Your voice needs to be heard by the global community. I don't have a solution to the resistance from major news outlets and the politics as usual status quo, but wise voices of reason who can lead the way to peaceful solutions must be heard. I know what you can do as President and at the same time, I pray you can find a way to raise yourself and others who can lead the way to peaceful sustainable solutions for the 21st Century to the fore now, before it is too late.

As in Scilla Elworthy's book "A Business Plan for Peace"! (And, sometimes the only thing that can meet someone with a gun is someone SANER with a gun ie: Ukraine fighting Putin). I heard Biden mention the 2 State Solution but neither Israel nor Palestine seem to want that? Or am I getting that wrong?

Thank you for standing up Marianne!

Some in the Middle East are seeking a one state solution. Hopefully, ASAP, the conflict will end and a permanent peace process can truly happen!

Absolutely. "It's hard to wake up." Am I fully awake? Likely not, I am sure there is more to see that I would find acceptable and more unacceptable. I am attempting to be and do what I think I know is best. I suspect you are doing the same.

Interesting and i look forward to reading your ideas on foreign policy. There seems to be a swing in global opinion supporting the Palestinians and now Gutierrez has spoken up. I believe part of Biden's motivation is that Israel is seen as a necessary ally in the Middle East (along with Saudi Arabia). The USA believes a network of alliances is necessary to protect the American way of life. I must admit as a UK citizen I subscribe to this to some extent. It appears for instance we do have more freedom of speech than many other countries. How can a multipolar world be a safe one?

Simply by respecting one another.

Joan Halgren's avatar

Yes, Oscar. Respect is key and also the realization the we humans are all one--different religions, income, etc. but at our core we all want the same: life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness--being loved and secure too. This doesn't require division but collaboration of thought to achieve! I remain hopeful:).

Thank you Marianne for being the voice that resonates with many. Unfortunately in my neighborhood and my own family it’s difficult to talk about politics and it saddens me. Keep being that beacon of light in this dense world.

Just as we have dangerously militarized our domestic police forces, we have dangerously militarized America’s foreign policy as well ... We need a new beginning and a season of repair. Let us choose a better way ... Let us choose ... MARIANNE WILLIAMSON!

"Our salvation comes by recognizing all this is only a dream in our mind. Nothing in the dream is true. Nothing that seems to happen in a dream has ever occurred in truth. It is possible to wake up from a dream. We have a loving Companion Who constantly calls us to awaken. He represents our Father, Whose limitless Love for us has never changed. He will help us undo the belief that made the dream. When the belief is undone, the dream is gone. We remember that we are safe and loved in the Heart of Love." © 2018, Pathways of Light. http://www.pathwaysoflight.org
