Okay, everyone. Let's say a prayer...

Dear God,

In this painful hour we are filled with fear for our country, for our fellow citizens, for the

earth, and for ourselves.

We give thanks for all the United States has meant to us and to the world.

We pray for forgiveness for all the ways in which our country, and we ourselves, have not lived

up to the responsibilities of a great nation.

Forgive us for all the ways we have not been who we were created to be.

We pray for forgiveness for having taken for granted such a sacred honor,

for failing to live up to the examples of our ancestors, and failing to live up to what we owe

those who come behind us.

Dear God, please help us begin again.

Take away from us our judgements of Trump, of Musk, of others who we know are innocent

children of God yet whose actions fill us with fear.

Awaken all to the spirit within us, and allow no ill intent to hurt our nation.

May no weapons formed against us stand.

Take away the sword from those who do not wield it responsibly.

Put courage in the hearts of those who can make a difference.

Work a miracle of our behalf, dear God, and use us in any way that we may be of service.

Strengthen us, encourage us, and prepare our hearts for the road ahead.

Work miracles in our lives and teach us how to perform miracles for others, that the darkness of this hour might dissolve in the Light of Your Love.

For You are more powerful than any darkness in the world. In this we believe and to this we pray.

May this hour awaken us, make us better people, and may our democracy survive.

Save our nation, dear God, from those who in their blindness do not see.

Thank you God, for the miracles that have been and that shall be.

Amen.

Hey Marianne. Just finished mystic Jesus and it touched me sooooo deeply. I really believe we will transcend this crucifying moment. I pray for love every moment of every day. Thank you for walking this walk with us. Pouring it into my art and rising to this occasion the best I can. 🙏🏼♥️

I am all for a peaceful but fierce revolution against this illegal abuse of power. I see the momentum of “We the people” growing stronger. Educate, organize & GO!

Enjoyed your talk with Daniel Pinchbeck earlier, I transcribed a few sections for my own sort of pep talk. I agree that now is the time for us all to be true to our dharma, even if it seems less "activist," like making art, or growing things, or connecting with others.

Yesss!!! I had a friend the other day remind me. The monk on the mountain and the activist in the streets are both contributing to the collective field. We all have our part to play ♥️

I will be inviting congresswomen who have been outspoken and have shown strength against the forming oligarchy to speak, followed by a panel of the speakers for Q&A. I would love to have you join this panel. I am just now putting this together. Monterey, CA is where Ted Talks got their start and is home base for the Panetta Institute. We have progressive people here that I want to put a fire under.

From my friends at The Carter Center:

So sad Joanne! But a little confusion....it is not The Carter Center but the Carter Presidential Library who has the oversight by the National Archives/government. The Carter Center is a non governmental organization. So yes unfortunately the Library has been instructed to restrict these events based on. approved topics and staffing is affected as well. The Carter Center has been affected by the end of government funding for aid programs but luckily it has never been more than 10% of our funding. Jimmy Carter was a smart man! For now affected staff have been guaranteed 90 days pay and we are readjusting internally. ❤️

Marianne, my sweetheart and I were just talking about you this morning. I said to him, “I really want MW to know about our global humanitarian project for the New Earth. Wouldn’t that be awesome?” And here we are now, in a live chat with you! How miraculous is that? ❤️

What is your project?

In a word: *SAFETY NET* Life Independence Project (LIP) is about laying down new, regenerative foundations for a world that works for 100% of humanity. Our framework and methodology enable the co-creation of neighborhoods and villages where residents can thrive in a money-free lifestyle with housing, food, water, and energy independence. We prioritize uplifting the most vulnerable populations first.

LIP communities come in three forms:

-Urban Support Communities – Offering stability and resources for those on the fringes.

-Refugee Communities – Providing safe, self-sustaining havens for displaced individuals.

-Like-Minded/Eco-Villages – Designed for those committed to sustainable, regenerative living.

💖💖💖

We know that when we unite our hearts and consciousness in service to the whole of creation, we will astound ourselves with what we can achieve together. Co-creative synergy is our natural state—it’s in our hearts to care for one another and in our divine blueprint to thrive in harmony with nature. ✨🌎✨

Preserving family lands and creating a continuity of sustainable legacy in a local community and extended family system. Preserving tradition of creativity, competency, empowerment, truthful and honest interaction that allows continuity of connection and relationship, as well as individual liberty and freedom of self expression. Functional dialogue that allows for sustainability and stability in the face of this wild ride we're all being taken on by the soul starvation of rootless and alienated people. Keeps me busy 24/7/365!

Thank you for being a voice of inspiration and sanity in our current political environment. I am taking a page from your playbook and asking “What is mine to do?” I am speaking out whenever I can. Calling my congressional representatives. Looking for grassroots movements to support.

My family is extremely upset but they asked me to put my phone away. I picked it up again and miracle Marianne went live at the same time. 🥰

Marianne,

I need someone to hear this and help communicate the importance. After stepping back and observing Elon Musk's behavior, something rang familiar. I have worked with children on the autism spectrum for many years of my life. I've worked with minimally functioning, nonverbal people up to and including those with Asperger's.

It hit me today seeing the week in review with Musk's. I recognized his behavior. It was so familiar to me.

Yes, he has a brilliant mind. Autism. Centric of the self.

He cannot understand or has very little ability to empathize!

Trump is Narcissistic and Elon doesn't compute the pain or feelings of others.

I so want to post something but I'm not sure how. After listening to you the past couple of days,I got quiet in thought. The light suddenly went off. I am praying that you see this. I'm coming from a place of peace, but posting anything with a “label of diagnosis” isn't helpful.

I'm letting this go in hope you will see it.
