I'm making an effort to find people with the most sensible and productive comments and liking them.
There are some strange people on this blog. One of them is very very stubborn. I usually know better than to give people like that oxygen.
I just realized what I need to do is feed it to people like you. That's a practical action connected to the idea that I could See Peace instead of this.
Thank you Marianne. I watched the DNC chair debate and you and Faiz were the clear winners. I was hoping you would post something about endorsing Martin. I call / email my senators and house representative every month and will use your recommendation for my next calls. You are a truly amazing person Marianne.
Thank you. I spent today fueling my anger and transforming to determination. I know my congressional representatives are opposing this brazen attempt to destroy our democracy and wrote to thank them and encourage the battle. I needed your wisdom to close my day with light.
I called the office of Sen. Adam Schiff last night, but i couldn’t get my call to go through, so I wrote a letter instead. I will call again tomorrow, and also Sen. Alex Padilla, and my new congresswoman, Laura Friedman. Thank you, Marianne, for keeping up the fight and encouraging us to do the same.
The 51 Intelligence Officers who signed a letter lying that Hunter Biden's laptop was a Russian Hoax were weaponizing Intelligence and illegally interfering in the Election and Trump is right to revoke their Security Clearance. Do you agree or disagree with that?
Your daughter is on top of it all. Congress has been bombarded, and like you said, this is a bridge too far. One other thing, Musk is not a governmental employee, he is a consultant. He can be sued for the intentional infliction of emotional distress he has caused all of us who freaked out over this, and that is likely going to end up being a class action lawsuit against him, personally. I know many of us have suffered anxiety and fear for the future because of what this monster has done. I am glad you have a good feeling about the new DNC chair. I am also happy to see David Hogg, the young man who has done so much to make people aware of gun violence in schools. His group attended every protest and were in the crowd registering new voters. I think he's a big reason we won in 2020. Personally, I think we won in 2016 and 2024, too. Apparently some people want to reward Trump's strategy of accusing his opponents of that of which he, himself is guilty, by not accusing him of what he, himself is more likely than not guilty of doing. With our own eyes, we've seen his support fall, both right after his mishandling of COVID and during this campaign, yet he ended up with more votes in 2020 and in 2024? Not likely at all.
Yes... the highwire has a seriously good track record of getting almost everything right. The media that puts so much fear into people about Every Single Thing has a dismal, horrific, embarrassing track record.
Please don't misunderstand, I'm not saying there's nothing Trump/ Musk are doing that deserves criticism and push back. Just saying it's harder to discern which parts those are, when the "news" manipulates fear and gets so much wrong, and some things that sound extreme are more like reactions to what's already extreme and needs being stopped.
That's true in at least some cases (like freezing communications of FDA, NIH, CDC). Also, USAID is a massively corrupt, dangerous, behemoths. That organization, which funded the creation of the sars-cov-2, is deserving of the label "dangerous" that they smear Bobby Kennedy with.
And this flood of fear-based-gaslighting, where they run with headlines "Trump shut off Medicaid!" - AOC (no, no true), amidst such secrecy, makes it harder to discern what of these actions / agendas is actually, in reality, harming, not healing.
Even if things don't have the energy of healing, there is an astoundingly corrupt situation already, just not as obvious (because of groups like USAID), much of it created by "Biden" executive orders. (And the censorship industrial complex).
I'm not defending everything being done, just saying there's more background than being reported on at least some things. Which makes me doubt other things.
Almost done with first post on a Substack that goes into this more ... about information discernment ...
Background on the executive orders around turning children into lifelong medical patients who can't have informed consent because the organizations trusted with that are using crappy-quality "science", and getting angry at those bringing better science (as they do ... )
It dislodges the guidelines created by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health—a group that has suppressed evidence and proven itself entirely unreliable—and quite unprofessional." - Lisa Selin Davis
Thanks for the time you took to say what you genuinely needed to say. I genuinely needed to hear someone else put it out there. :) All of it was good; second paragraph was gold.
Hi Elaine, I've been working on that for hundreds of hours, after thousands of hours of learning. I tend to write too long, and have health challenges, but perhaps everything is in the right timing. First post will be soon.
So you are anti-trans as well. Important for me to see this on Marianne Williamson's blog. Important for me to see how her defense of RFK Jr brings all these elements into her following and people like you would be surrounding her should she have been elected to any consequential political office.
I didn't vote for Trump, but I haven't loved a Democrat since Barack in 2008. I don't know Ellen, but she feels like a "betrayed liberal," and I understand where she's coming from. She doesn't deserve to be dismissed as "these elements" or "people like you."
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."
"By this they will know you are my disciples, if you love one another."
I'm definitely no better than you, Amylouise, but I'm not worse than you, either. I don't care if you and I don't see everything the same way. There must be something common between us, since we're both here reading what Marianne Williamson has to say. That's more than good enough for me. And I'm going to say a big prayer for you tonight, and it's going to be full of love, and it's really going to be just for you.
You know, that's very sweet of you. I've been kind of grumpy on this blog today. I don't know what got into me, probably the general atmosphere of the country right now.
Your answer is wise and kind and generous. It's the antidote to my grumpiness that I really need. I'm going to receive your prayer with an open heart and thank you for the time you took to write to me.
It's the end of the day here, where I am, so I went ahead and did it right after I wrote you. I loved you til I cried; I sent you a really good one. :)
Me too I'm grumpy sometimes. We will forgive each other!
You have a beautiful open heart. Goodnight. XOXOXOXO
Hi Amylouise, I'm not "anti-trans", a reductionist, divisive label. I have profound respect for trans people like Cori Cohn and others who understand that what's happening to kids today is indoctrination with no informed consent.
I used to listen to Marianne's Tuesday Course in Miracles livestreams most weeks, I did some volunteering for her when she ran for president in 2020.
I tuned in to her less as I began to learn more about the manipulation of fear and data that was the tragic public health response to covid.
Some of her recent statements have shown more humility than most on the left about being willing to listen.
Anyone willing to actually "follow the science" all the way down on the covid response will find that at the same time we were being assured "safe and effective", "no signals of harm", "safe in pregnancy", etc - at the same time - they had data showing the opposite.
In both vaccines and "gender medicine", is a complete lack of informed consent, trust in organizations who have Not earned trust (like WPATH, and the captured medical orgs) - and also an immediate hostility to anyone who questions - and especially, super-tragically, a hostility to those who trusted and then were injured. The contempt and erasure that detransitioners face is similar to what the vaccine injured have faced for decades.
This is something I hope Marianne will feel called to focus more on, the spiritual wound of lying to so many vulnerable people, who were made more vulnerable by messaging to be constantly afraid, or to ruminate about being born in the wrong body.
It's impossible for the Democratic Party to continue on with any respect without addressing how they manipulated information people had access to - denied people correct info on early treatment for covid even before there were vaccines, and also manipulated information telling kids that puberty blockers were "safe", "just a pause button".
Yes, there's plenty of "information" out there that declares vaccines safe, says it's "settled science" that they absolutely surely have no relation to autism.
Just like the statements that if parents don't let their children become lifelong medical patients, they'll commit suicide, these declarations are based on low-quality "evidence", and statements by captured "experts". And those asking the difficult questions have much better science, including honest interpretations of original clinical trial data.
The entire point of science is because there is no such thing as "settled science", science is a process of discovery.
(And I may be wrong, but I don't think Marianne has a chance of being elected to any consequential political office on the Democratic party. Even tho she believes much of the official narrative, sadly, and still trusts the NY Times (??!?), after they have lied constantly, I don't think she has sold her soul in the way that would make it possible for her to be allowed to get to any powerful position in the Democratic Party.)
I think she's missing a lot about the crimes that happened during covid. Even Just looking at the suppression of early treatment, or the lies about the origin, any one of those things shows a huge apparatus of lies and censorship that did demonstrable physical, emotional, and spiritual harm.
But I think Marianne's good soul and her ability to be curious make it Possible for, at some point, for her to go there and grapple with how profoundly we were lied to. (Again, this is not conspiracy theory, this is all obvious and out in the open, see links below, I could share thousands more, people just refuse to look).
And that capacity of having the potential to look in those places, not being completely captured / owned, and hostile to anyone asking questions, is why I love and respect Marianne, and also why I doubt the corrupt DNC machine would let her near any levers of power.
It's important for me to see things like this on Marianne's blog, so we can witness the effect of her attacks on the Democratic Party.
Also, the people she brings into her political Community by her friendship with and defense of Robert Kennedy Jr.
I saw this happen when she ran for office in 2020. Toward the end of her campaign her social media and her blogs were swamped with Qanon and followers.
Marianne has a robust following of vaccine resistors. Well she herself claims to defend the efficacy of vaccines she has also questioned the science of those who build them and the financial motives of those who market them.
I find this to be the most troubling part of her political ambition. She's not clear about what she wants to see happen in the public health sector and what she does not want to see. I believe it's because she doesn't understand public health.
She reads but she reads in a biased manner. That leaves her and especially her following vulnerable to confused and even distorted information about Health and Wellness.
Please don't confuse vaccine literacy and being vaccine risk aware with Qanon.
There is a ton of honest info about public health that shows its roots. We were lied to about covid, its origins, treatment, masks, distancing, who to trust, who not to trust, the fatality #s, and the safety of the injections. I know covid is real and potentially awful, because of the potential for long covid, and the doctors who treat both long covid and vaccine injury say that vaccine injury is even harder to heal. People who died from (instead of "with") covid died from a combination of terrible hospital protocols and Lack of Early Treatment.
Talk about a spiritual rupture that needs acknowledgement and healing. From day one the inflammation, viral replication, and coagulation were treatable. Not a 100% assurance against long covid, but a near-certainty to stop the disease from progressing to needing hospitalization or dying. And - even when there were no vaccines out yet - we were lied to about that.
Meant with respect. Credible info below, if you're interested ...
I hear you about your mistrust of covid and the science that went into developing mRNA vaccines. Some people definitely had a problem with those vaccines. Many more did not and many lives were saved, hospital admissions were reduced, and eventually our society was able to return to some normalcy because of those vaccines.
I used to be a vaccine exceptionalist. I wouldn't let any modern vaccine let alone a flu vaccine into my system. I thought that if people ate better and took better care of their immune systems they would be fine.
One hospital admission for septic pneumonia changed my mind. I let them pump every conceivable antibiotic into my body in order to save my life and when I was done with all of that I followed the recommendation of a doctor who had worked with AIDS patients in Africa and got all the vaccines I needed to protect my lungs and keep that from ever happening to me again.
Marianne has a lot of RFK Jr fans on her pages. Weather it's opposition to covid vaccines and covid public protocols or other objections to the way this deadly pandemic was handled it all comes down to the same thing. Democrats are dangerous, their science cannot be trusted, they killed people unnecessarily during a pandemic, and putting them back in office could be dangerous.
It all led to the same result. Donald Trump is in office tearing apart our government and our democracy. RFK Jr may be in his cabinet but that's small compensation for the great damage that is being done to the United States right now.
I will be happy to look at your links later. I will send a few of them to my brother, a PhD scientist whose Labs developed a number of different drugs. His most recent accomplishment, a medicine that targets certain glioblastomas and kills them.
My brother knows more about this than I will ever know. If he agrees with the points that are made in your articles I will follow his experienced and careful thinking.
But I will tell you. He has never told me he thought the mRNA vaccines were dangerous. And he hasn't let any of this sway him from being a committed Republican.
I'm an avid reader of your letters from across the Atlantic... And this one too echoes deep within me, and hits so close to home, as always, Marianne. And your daughter's reflections (the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as the saying goes ;-)) are absolutely spot-on too.
I wish I could help but as an European citizen I can only support you in my thoughts during this terrible time your country is going through. And indeed, in its wake... the whole world. Europe isn't doing very well either, with authoritarian regimes gradually gaining ground in Hungary, Italy, Slovakia... and now these threats to democracy in Germany (where Musk believes he has the power to parade around sickeningly in support of the frightening far-right AfD party). And also in Austria, the Czech Republic, Romania... Not to mention Georgia, with its illegitimate pro-Kremlin regime. As for France, where I live, the far-right National Rally (RN), narrowly avoided in the last parliamentary elections, is now lying in ambush, and no less dictating its agenda in the background – like the AfD in Germany and its obsession with migration –, polluting the whole political atmosphere with notions – which you've heard all too often on the other side of the Atlantic too, alas – like "migratory submersion"...
Faced with this despotism on the march, the world desperately needs enlightened leaders. And enlightened peoples. Or at least, an enlightened minority within those peoples, since we know that it is they who can make all the difference. I've always thought that someone like you should be in charge of the United States, dear Marianne. Which would then have a much more welcoming and friendly face, in the eyes of the world. And even be a source of hope and inspiration for other nations...
This is all I wish for your country!
But for now, it's a rough ride... Take heart, dear friends. For as the poet Hölderlin said: "But where the danger is, also grows that which saves."
Today as a student of the course for decades, along with all I have practised to remain sane aka optimistic about life, regardless of what i cannot control.
This weekend with the threat of tariffs which sent most of us Canadians in a tail spin, having a practise to hold to as in love is all that is really all else is and illusion, plus a rubber mallet i use to smack myself in the head, and demand optimistic thoughts only. The fearful thoughts are very dominate in my life, i have mental lifepreserves, but this is taking Hercules mental strength. Good thing i have taken most of my life to convince myself i can control my thinking. Thank you to my dear departed Dr. Wayne Dyer, give us some mystical assistance, please. And Jerry Hicks, Stewart Wilde, Martin Luther King, etc etc etc. I am/we are open to a or many miracles.
I can see peace instead of this. ACIM workbook lesson #34. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The 51 Intelligence Officers who signed a letter lying that Hunter Biden's laptop was a Russian Hoax were weaponizing Intelligence and illegally interfering in the Election and Trump is right to revoke their Security Clearance. Do you agree or disagree with that?
IF that's true, and if they knew they were lying, then yes I agree.
Fake investigation to create a false impression as a Republican campaign strategy. The person whose testimony they relied upon in this false accusation has since admitted it was all a lie. Hunter Biden is innocent. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/former-fbi-informant-to-plead-guilty-to-lying-about-fake-bribery-scheme-involving-the-bidens

Many more did not and many lives were saved, hospital admissions were reduced, and eventually our society was able to return to some normalcy because of those vaccines.
I used to be a vaccine exceptionalist. I wouldn't let any modern vaccine let alone a flu vaccine into my system. I thought that if people ate better and took better care of their immune systems they would be fine.
One hospital admission for septic pneumonia changed my mind. I let them pump every conceivable antibiotic into my body in order to save my life and when I was done with all of that I followed the recommendation of a doctor who had worked with AIDS patients in Africa and got all the vaccines I needed to protect my lungs and keep that from ever happening to me again.
Marianne has a lot of RFK Jr fans on her pages. Weather it's opposition to covid vaccines and covid public protocols or other objections to the way this deadly pandemic was handled it all comes down to the same thing. Democrats are dangerous, their science cannot be trusted, they killed people unnecessarily during a pandemic, and putting them back in office could be dangerous.
It all led to the same result. Donald Trump is in office tearing apart our government and our democracy. RFK Jr may be in his cabinet but that's small compensation for the great damage that is being done to the United States right now.
I will be happy to look at your links later. I will send a few of them to my brother, a PhD scientist whose Labs developed a number of different drugs. His most recent accomplishment, a medicine that targets certain glioblastomas and kills them.
My brother knows more about this than I will ever know. If he agrees with the points that are made in your articles I will follow his experienced and careful thinking.
But I will tell you. He has never told me he thought the mRNA vaccines were dangerous. And he hasn't let any of this sway him from being a committed Republican.
Thanks for your time.
And and for your good heart.
Thank You Dear Marianne. Love and Appreciate ALL You Do. XXOO
I'm an avid reader of your letters from across the Atlantic... And this one too echoes deep within me, and hits so close to home, as always, Marianne. And your daughter's reflections (the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as the saying goes ;-)) are absolutely spot-on too.
I wish I could help but as an European citizen I can only support you in my thoughts during this terrible time your country is going through. And indeed, in its wake... the whole world. Europe isn't doing very well either, with authoritarian regimes gradually gaining ground in Hungary, Italy, Slovakia... and now these threats to democracy in Germany (where Musk believes he has the power to parade around sickeningly in support of the frightening far-right AfD party). And also in Austria, the Czech Republic, Romania... Not to mention Georgia, with its illegitimate pro-Kremlin regime. As for France, where I live, the far-right National Rally (RN), narrowly avoided in the last parliamentary elections, is now lying in ambush, and no less dictating its agenda in the background – like the AfD in Germany and its obsession with migration –, polluting the whole political atmosphere with notions – which you've heard all too often on the other side of the Atlantic too, alas – like "migratory submersion"...
Faced with this despotism on the march, the world desperately needs enlightened leaders. And enlightened peoples. Or at least, an enlightened minority within those peoples, since we know that it is they who can make all the difference. I've always thought that someone like you should be in charge of the United States, dear Marianne. Which would then have a much more welcoming and friendly face, in the eyes of the world. And even be a source of hope and inspiration for other nations...
This is all I wish for your country!
But for now, it's a rough ride... Take heart, dear friends. For as the poet Hölderlin said: "But where the danger is, also grows that which saves."
Dear Marianne
Thank you for walking your talk.
Today as a student of the course for decades, along with all I have practised to remain sane aka optimistic about life, regardless of what i cannot control.
This weekend with the threat of tariffs which sent most of us Canadians in a tail spin, having a practise to hold to as in love is all that is really all else is and illusion, plus a rubber mallet i use to smack myself in the head, and demand optimistic thoughts only. The fearful thoughts are very dominate in my life, i have mental lifepreserves, but this is taking Hercules mental strength. Good thing i have taken most of my life to convince myself i can control my thinking. Thank you to my dear departed Dr. Wayne Dyer, give us some mystical assistance, please. And Jerry Hicks, Stewart Wilde, Martin Luther King, etc etc etc. I am/we are open to a or many miracles.
Thank you
Marianne

I love how you close with a message of hope. We all need it so badly.
And thank you so much for the detailed, actionable instructions!
Thank you Marianne for all you do and all you are. I was there at The Wilshire in LA and I'm here with you now.
Thank you, Marianne. Your light and wisdom shine so brightly for me. I will take action and I will share your message.
