I believe sincerely that if we listen deeply, we can all hear Truth . It is a practice of tuning in frequently to separate the lies from the truth.
We find that the Truth is not dividing us, fear-mongering is.
If we bring down the volume, and get closer to our heart and to other people, we can speak softly and allow the power of truth to remove the emotional pain insanity is causing all of us.
We live our truth that we are simply NOT at war with ANYBODY. When necessary, we must speak to the false narratives, but not to shout them down. We can not force anyone to love. Each person must chose to do so. Let's give them good reason to chose love not by shouting, but by being the presence of goodness and peace. I've tried both and peace works better.
We heal not by might, not by power, but by God's Spirit.
The weapons of this warfare against tyranny etc, are powerful but they do not look like conventional weapons of engagement. Let's not make the same mistake the women's movement made which was to take the male defined standard of success and apply it to women as a goal to be coveted while it ignored and despised the beauty and the contributions that only women can make to society. NOW, nobody wins.
I do not want to win at their game by shouting louder. I want to change the game entirely.
I think peace is IMPARTED, not discussed, AND certainly not legislated. If we chose peace, we are armed with unshakable power. We can not be moved to be like "them".
While we respond every chance we can at an individual level to the questions and the fears, our equanimity shouts for us. My dad never had to shout so great was his power and my love for him.
Compare Sars cov1 worldwide fatality number of around 3000 deaths to covid19 fatalities in the US alone to around 700,000 and MAYBE you will understand a truth which you are obviously missing. Don't blame media, get a vaccination.
Good example Lynn as what the corporate media tell you is not the truth .
The RT PCR test that creates the " case numbers" you refer to cannot ever detect 1 whole transmissible virus it is being fraudulently misused.
Media is spreading fear and divisiveness memes this is a fact it is not blame .
As far as the injection big pharma call a " vaccination" it is a human GMO trial that ends in 2023.
If you want to participate fine its not my decision its yours, but mandating what others do to their body and taking away their autonomy and then livelihood if they do not get injected in the trial is wrong action
It is a good heated topic to discuss in a mindful political forum.
We are seeing the constitution and people's human rights violated by corporate "mandates".
It is essentially the topic of politics , media mind control and the spreading of fear(in thought form " covid19) .It is the literal Chinese whisper as the consortium that started this hoax did not isolate/purify a sars cov2 virus genome they computer generated it. And no govt has an isolated or purified sars cov2 virus. The media dont deal in the truth, they are a corporate propaganda machine.
Please cite your credentials and your references. My credentials include a DVM degree (yeah I know all about herd health, the value of vaccinations in an air borne infectious disease outbreak, and the difference between a mild, self limiting Corona virus diarrhea case in a cat vs a fatal FIP disease in another cat, caused by the same Corona virus. Do you?
Oh, Marianne, your voice is so eloquently and articulately LOUD on all the issues that matter - and followed up by meaningful action! You encourage & inspire us all to do the same!
I also find that we're insulated from each other more and more. People are actually hostile about talking on the phone and say they want to communicate by e-mail and text, but then they don't read them. There's a mass disconnection that is only getting worse.
Johnny, I hear you! And the suicide rates are rapidly rising. So we must return to in-person meetups more now than ever since virtual reality is unreal. At this rate, we are surely destroying humanity and taking the planet with us! This must stop. We all need to be what Samantha Powers mentions: upstanders and not by standers! I'm in.
Marianne, you are such an inspiration. I don't know much about American politics, but because of you, I am eager to learn, especially with everything that is taking place in Afghanistan at the moment. Here in South Africa, in a small distressed community, I seem to be able to relate the politics to the situation everywhere else and I have come to realise that even within the politics, if we are not able to start seeing each other as beings and from a place of love, which does not necessarily mean keeping quiet and not demonstrating anger. For a long while, I was silenced on matters that are rather urgent, such as the children of the community and their wellbeing in every sense and I am finally utilising my voice to stand up for what I believe is best for them.
I thank you deeply for teaching me and allowing me to pass on everything I am learning from you, onwards in these children's lives. We need a politics of love and humanity more than anything.
Love you spirit, your fierce compassion and razor-sharp, yet gentle analysis of the inner and outer vistas we roam about in…
It is all energy and how we choose to use that … creatively or destructively…there is a time and season for all things…energy is constantly deconstructing or morphing, it abhors sameness and stagnation…it is without limits and resists useless hoarding…
I too wrestle with my energetic being. When to speak, when to stay silent, when to act. Like someone has already mentioned … the wisdom to know when, where and how to make that decision in each moment presented to us. What has Covid taught us? Nature speaks to us and within us. She is both gentle and disruptive in her use of energy in guiding to necessary balance within and without. She knows how to rumble and roll, blow steam, whip the winds, rain and fire.
And she knows how to give and “time-out.”
All the things mentioned in this article are deeply valid and on point as to the changes needed. There is also a great cry for things to just return to “normal,”… God forbid! Which is actually a misnomer. Normality would be closer, but a better term is “Homeostasis”… the tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements,
Money is energy. And it talks, nowadays louder than any human voice and takes over rulership… seems to be the only thing that moves mountains and makes humans feel powerless and often hopeless like a slave to it. I’ve had a vision, ever since back when the women’s movement was going on, that women needed to just go on strike in mass. No shopping, no cooking, cleaning, working, volunteering…a complete sit-out. This thought has percolated back up in recent years in regard to our power-money issue. Stop! Yes, just halt, stop, take advantage of what the recent “time-out” has shown us. Take back the day and night in mass. Don’t run to the stores and hoard. Just take 3 days or a week. Majority of Americans go on strike, stay home. No work, no TV, radio, computer, cell phones. No shopping, no fast food, no food delivery, no driving, no gasoline, no purchases … no money circulating. Have safe block parties, talk with your neighbors…not about politics. Get to know each other outside of were you work, what your job is, where you want to vacation next, what your next purchase is going to be. Play games, sing, dance. Share your true hearts desires, hopes and dreams…just be, just breathe together, actually look each other in the eyes and sense each other’s humanity.
There is power and energy in numbers. Big numbers!
Let the media come, but ignore talking with them. Let the world see. Let’s see what happens here and around the world.
Carol, I adore you idea on dropping out of it all en mass! I have pondered it too. I actually think it would work!
When things get real bad, as I suspect they will, well, dropping out of all the madness for a few days to even a week or month would really impact the global powers, who are now running all of us into early graves--or so it seems. (Let's keep this in our back pockets as a reserve currency to survival!)
Meanwhile, remember people invented money--it's fictional and got its power by an awful narrative that's been running our world for far too long! How about back to sharing? That's how our ancestors (hunters/gatherers) thrived happily before agriculture divided us 10,000 years ago with fences as well as owning women and children as human capital, etc. From a historical perspective, together we can ignite a renaissance and overcome our collective insanity. Let's keep that dropping out idea front and center! Cheers!
Thanks Joan ... feel less crazy knowing the idea/thought has crossed other's mind...but seriously, so much hasn't worked and the problem(s) have grown so large the previous ones used don't come close nowadays to make much of a bunch ... it will take a grand new gesture/statement...out-of-left field to turn the tides...we have to face the fearful stranglehold in mass, together in a big new way...men, women, children together ... does anyone remember block parties ... it was about sharing and playing with each other...making crazy loud unexpected might set the rumbling earthquake needed...smiling for the media camera's, no talking...would they come or be in fear of giving such energy legs? America could lead a world-wide movement.
Unfortunately, I don't think the worldwide movement will start in the U.S.--maybe in Europe, the UK, Australia or New Zealand that always shows grace under fire with the great Jacinda Ardern leading her nation.
Dear Carol, thanks for sharing your budding thoughts and vision! I love it! I can see the power in it. I think you’re on to something — taking back our humanity is something we’re free to do at any moment, and the action would speak more loudly than words (and be fun, too!).
The way I see it is that humanity (some 7 billion of us worldwide, now) is, truly, “The Sleeping Giant” and we are waking up! As we realize our collective power it will be impactful. Marianne is such a clear, powerful catalyst for our “waking up.”
I’ve had the thought of a type of “strike” too. The thought was of women going on strike and refusing to have more babies until certain conditions - society, environment, security, equity - were met for all.
I feel power in these visions and thoughts. Hopefully, that we’re tuning into these ideas are signs of “The Sleeping Giant” waking up!
thank you...yes, I feel the power in such thoughts and potential such a mass peaceful strong courageous action ... a big NO More ... there is fear in setting such boundaries against giants of power...but such action done right, I feel their fear to be greater ... our unity, our unionizing is what they have been repressing all along...I think of the Dalai Lama..."The World Will Be Saved By the Western Woman"
from 2020...Author and leader in the higher consciousness movement Caroline Myss applies her wisdom to America’s predicament today. In her first episode, Marianne sits down with her longtime friend for a conversation about America’s psychological dynamics, spirituality, politics, and the over-secularization of our society.

Marianne, I see the deep truths you cite herein. I moved to Austin, Texas in 2004, where I often visited the outstanding Lyndon Johnson Library. On my first visit there with my sister, we both cried after realizing all Lyndon had done for the people and what hasn't happened since! Then, I worked editing legislation at the Texas Capitol and realized the power there maybe even stronger than in DC or equals it for the worse not better.
I fled Texas in 2008 since most of the population didn't seem to care about a social safety net with horrid socio-economic metrics. Today, Texas laws diminish democracy, instill more violence with new gun laws, and are damaging women with terrible reproductive legislation that makes the whole state seem misogynist. Tragic. (I can hear Molly Ivins speaking louder in my mind. I only wish she was still with us but now in spirit.)
Right on Marianne! We must speak louder, louder, and louder still!
There is no hiding anywhere anymore anyway even if there ever was and what we do is a product of who we are and who we are is an ever- unfolding mystery of infinite degree! Thank goodness for Marianne and her words and her heart keeping us on track and ever mindful of our soulfulness and connection and power.
I meant to say people are hiding in their delusion or illusion--depending on their minds. My major sanity these days is being in nature with river walks, etc. Even meditating is difficult as one's mind whirls with all the goings on but still worth the endeavor to seek inner peace so the Great Creator can get a message through!
You are ON FIRE Marianne. You came to my home in Hidden Hills some years ago when you ran for District 33. You were amazing then...and now you are 'next level' as the kids say. I am deeply moved by what you are doing, how you are doing it and the words you are choosing. THANK YOU!
And lets not forget to Listen harder.
Media are pathological an amplification of unconsciousness
Can we be aware of this?
To me it seems humanity is in state of regression, a collective insanity.
Society has a mental infection caused by a media spread thought form" covID19".
This has caused a collective psychosis, FEAR, so now healthy normal people are know seeing each other as threats.
Why did this collective hysteria not happen with the alleged 2002 global spread of MERS or Sars cov1?
The media.
And it is the media that makes so much noise, but only if we listen to it.
So many are now addicted to the daily ego feed of fearmongering, outrage and anxiety .
On foot in being and openness to the present moment and we will do/say whatever is needed in the moment.
Truth, even when whispered, is heard.
Exactly. I totally agree.
I believe sincerely that if we listen deeply, we can all hear Truth . It is a practice of tuning in frequently to separate the lies from the truth.

Yes!! Yes!! This is so true. Thank you for putting it out there.
We can talk louder without saying a word. Who we are and what we do has more impact than loud angry words that only serve to deepen divides.
It's the "what we do" that needs to accelerate. Too many folks hiding out at home hoping things get better:).
There is no hiding anywhere anymore anyway even if there ever was and what we do is a product of who we are and who we are is an ever- unfolding mystery of infinite degree!
