Marianne, I’ve been watching you mix it up with Robbie on Rising—and needless to say, you are doing a brilliant job of bringing forth the depth, insight, and thoughtfulness this moment in our nation’s history demands. The way you and Robbie engage in this reciprocal tango is fascinating to watch. Normally, he turns me all the way off, but the contrast and complement between you two? Powerful. Keep it up!
Tonight…
Of course, I love the spiritual perspective you bring—it should always stay front and center in a country that, at least at its inception, openly proclaimed spirituality…
Marianne, you are so spot on here.
Just last night, I found myself in a deep spiritual state, a sort of walking prayer in the supermarket, realizing I was being called to die to yet another part of myself—the part that is angry, resentful, and wants to see those who are actively trying to ruin our children’s future in this beloved country immediately held accountable... arrested... imprisoned.
Yes, beloved. We love our country. And those who attack it from within like these fiends are doing? They are enemies.
Yet, as I was holding back tears,in my "walking-prayer" recognizing this call to surrender familiar emotions, a young man in a store scooter called out to me from across the aisle.
He spoke as if he knew me—though he couldn’t have. Then he handed me a book: Enchiridion: The Key to Light, Life, Peace, and Prosperity. A beautiful green velvety binding with gold letters.
I don’t believe in coincidences. God was winking at me...
Then tonight, I read your words.
And now I know I can.
Hold on, everybody.
It’s going to take everything we have to get through this… but perhaps, less than we think.
This world—our country—needs our light.
Marianne, thank you for keeping yours shining so brightly.
I am so very grateful for your insights of the path to the present moment. There truly needs to be a movement like Gandhi or King to address these troubled times. With your insight
it is a shame the DNC isn’t asking for your input this weekend at there gathering.
Your ability to see the political and spiritual sides of this culture is something that needs to be seen and addressed by us all.
I pray every day for nonviolent resolution to this mess.
So much depth of wisdom here. It is a tumultuous road as we navigate to a new paradigm where respect for all life is honored and everyone has the opportunity to thrive. You are a beacon of heart based light illuminating tangible possibilities. Thank you Marianne!💕
Just some additional thoughts that I’d like to know what your take on this would be Marianne:
What solutions might we have that are right in front of us that we don’t see yet? Is there a way to collapse the value of the billionaires assets or currency? Can we create a currency that is far more valuable because it is circulating in a heart based way that makes it “alive” with kindness and the light of Love verses the stale, dead, hoarded greed based currency of the corrupt billionaires (maybe there are heart based billionaires that can flow vast amounts of authentic high vibration currency that blesses others??). I believe we can find the fault lines of this corrupt power grab and collapse the whole thing. There are a lot more of us. We can do it. When we create something so awesome the brainwashed might look over and see and want what we have, joining in too. Could be I’m crazy yet could be I’m on to something…?
Gorgeous. And about that prescient comment: I may have asked this before, but it’s a sincere question. How do you deal with being so insanely right on such things? Where does that experience fit into the spiritual ACIM framework, aside from the practice of forgiveness? I can barely handle the challenge of finding myself proven right (“prescient” is a much better, less loaded word, but I’ll leave “right” bc it’s how I feel in my more egoic moments!) on a much smaller scale; I cannot imagine how that must feel for you and am genuinely wondering how you grapple with it as a human being :-). And to be clear, I’m not talking about being right for its own sake; but specifically on topics of such unimaginable consequence.
It’s been very difficult. A tremendous ego challenge - not the part about having been right, but about having been so mocked, like I’m not smart, crystal lady, snake oil salesman, crazy, all that. Ego crushing, but then on the other hand I guess crushing our egos is the whole point of being on this earth! I’ve known that my challenge is to clear all that and forgive. Otherwise, I will age into a very bitter and angry old woman, and I do not want that.
I could cry. Yes. I feel it, all of that, all the way. Bodily. The fact that you come out every day—for us, for beauty, for humanity, for principled living, clear-eyed seeing, democracy, coexistence, nuance in the face of enormous complexity, hope, faith, consciousness and aliveness and curiosity and purpose, for grace and graciousness, in the very blinding spotlight, that you haven’t receded or become bitter (or haven’t let it define it dominate you, keep it in its place, work through it)—-that’s an example for the ages (and for me, now, today) and I am certain will be revealed as such to a degree that it hasn’t yet been in all of the swirling. Thank you very much for this answer. I will never forget it.
YESSSSS. This writing called to me so powerfully. MW your truth, your voice...THANK YOU. You give me hope... and sanity amid all the chaos and destruction.
Read this during the lunar eclipse in EST -in MLK jrs words, where do we go from here? I too wish that you were on retreat withe the DNC this weekend. As always, thank you for your words.
Hi Nancy, I just noticed your Note — I thought you might be interested in my piece which touches on political astrology (this is part 1, the next piece will consider what has happened within politics once we have the second eclipse at the end of this month).
I am new to your work, but have spent decades studying what I personally would call the "deep psychology" of our shared human nature. And, while I couldn't say I agree with everything you say here (example: I view astrology as riddled with misunderstandings) I am more and more impressed with your understanding of some important things, eg thoughts are things, and have very real effects on how other things (our lives) unfold. This is not 'woo woo' but a phenomenon many scientists have described within the context of their particular disciplines, one of the most far-reaching of which is quantum physics which has indisputably demonstrated, as ecological science has, that we are intimately connected with, responsible to, and responsible for, each other. We are so clearly in a deep crisis created in large part by our greedy and callous thoughts and actions. How tragic. Because if we were more open to awareness of the intersection between our smaller selves and our deeper selves and how loving and creative our deeper selves are--one with the divine, you could say, how different this world would be. My hope is that we begin to 'get' this connection, welcome our awareness of it, and act accordingly--in love, in compassion, in beauty and in joy. Tall order maybe, but one we need to embrace.
Yet, many still have to get to a place of acknowledgment and acceptance (not surrender) of the times we're in to know enough about the importance of "staying connected to our Creator" and ask for help or better yet, be grateful, in advance, for it paving a way for justice and peace BY guiding us to know when and when not to act, and when and when not to speak, and if and when we do speak, exactly what to say, no more and no less, in order to get the desired outcomes.
Let's put out a blessing over Rubio's trio to Canada that cooler heads will prevail AND spend some time in mindful meditation tonight and tomorrow a.m., or in mindful breathing, with the intention of placing the very will of the Creator over the Congressional Continuing Resolution tomorrow, 3/14/25.
It's a blood full moon eclipse tonight which one way or another will, surely, give us knowledge about things that are, or have been hidden, as well as things that will be revealed. And the energy of an eclipse lasts beyond the actual event.
If you get a chance to view the eclipse tonight, ponder the significance of the sun, the moon and the earth aligning in one straight line, at this particular time. We can only hope that those in Congress might take the chance to look up tonight and feel their connection to our colossal galaxy, and that they remember how small they are in the big picture, and remember that there is an intended NATURAL ORDER of things, so it's not about their egos, their wallets or about who wins or loses. They just have to examine their own soul's purpose in this earth and get out of their own way and let things unfold. (Desiderata Poem)
Maybe fly your American flag for the veterans tomorrow or every day for that matter. Peace!
We can be mindful of, and grateful for, the good things that are happening. Rep. Jamie Raskin achieved getting a judge to agree that DOGE is a federal agency and thereby, has to be accountable to the American People through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) as much as any other federal agency. They have been ordered to reveal what information they have on us, who they have shared that data with, and whether or not they have manipulated that data. It legitimizes DOGE, but I guess it's one way to get Musk, et al. to come before Congress and be accountable. I suppose it can always be closed at a later date by the next POTUS.
We need chaos to rebirth. This Earth and Solar System was once a chaotic swirl of gases.
I know it may appear that what is happening as detremental and I know Trump doesn't know WTF he is actually doing, but I know in my heart humanity needs everything up ended, because the grooves of the past need to be broken. These are grooves that go back thousands of years to the fall of greater empires then the US even has a finger to compare itself to. Trump is shadow, but shadow doesn't get that when they crack open the vessel, the light comes in.
I Ching 1 is called Heaven or the Ideal. All of Creation, no matter how dark, always returns to Heaven, back to the Ideal. It is inevitable. And all that does not serve the Ideal Entropies. We are in a falling apart, we are in this Entopy. We can fear it or surrender to our higher nature.
New ways, new systems less based on our mental limited mindsets (and both sides of the political fence has these.) are needed. Humanity is going through an Energence, a quickening, a mutation. Mutations happen fast not slowly. This Emergence is what we often call our Spiritual Body, but we call anything we don't understand Spiritual. Anything veiled from our physical senses. Yet it is us. Our minds no longer have the capability to understand our reality and all we are learning without this Emerging Conscious body that is coming on line.
I know Trump is not the answer, and watching what you walked through your campaign, I don't think the Democrats are the answer either.
I actually challenge everyone, including Marianne, to think more oytside the box. We can still keep the spirit of your founding fathers, but all nations need to mutate and become more. This is what the people need, and they don't realize it yet.
We have never had a democracy. Representation is not Democracy. Democracy is everyone voting on everything directly. Guess what, we have the technology to do that now. The issue with all governments is they are run by personalities with agendas, not by the people.
- This is a stretch, but I know this is the future we should be working towards.
PLEASE REMEMBER: In a country that is determined to keep us in fear and chaos staying in peace and sharing your bliss is a form of social defiance!!! Stay centered, breath deeply, find joy in the present moment. They can NEVER take that away. I personally recommend leaning into Animal Communication, but that is where I find my peace and joy. Yours may be the sunset, the laughter of a child, or a good book!!
So the thing to remember is … to repair a system you have to go back to the source … The Declaration of Independence… The Constitution … The Bill of rights … The Gettysburg Address … These documents hold the “ideas” and the “words” on which this country was founded … These documents … These words … give us our direction and our meaning …

Integral thinking on display. I have not seen that yet in anyone offering to take political responsibility. Thank you.
Thanks for the incisive spiritual analysis of the current situation!
Indeed and Amen!
