Marianne Williamson
Updated: Mar 22
In the coming year we will once again choose those who will lead our country. I confess that this process seems redundantly silly and futile to me, but I also acknowledge that its outcome has important implications and affects each citizen’s life, including mine.
So, despite my inclination to dismiss the process, the publicity, and the participants who seek office, I do care about those whom we follow and trust.
For this reason, a person who has expressed a desire to serve and comes forward to present oneself as a potential leader, earns attention and honest evaluation.
I, however, follow neither a particular political “party” nor lean “right” or “left”; instead try to intuitively listen to the thoughts and words, as well as the actions of the person who presents as a potential candidate.
Sadly, there is very seldom one who inspires genuine respect and confidence; the current state of life throughout our country is a reminder that renewed leadership is needed at all levels of government.
Once in a while a special person steps forward to offer insight and hope, a person who comes not from the traditional political forums but from an entirely different perspective; drawing new and valuable attention.
Marianne Williamson is such a person. Her life’s work seems to be a wonderful testimony to her intentional goal of helping others seek and attain a higher consciousness that affects their life and all those around them.
The word “consciousness” may be mistakenly misunderstood as relating to “New Age” thought, when instead it is a concise explanation of how a person “thinks” of him/herself, his/her essential origin, purpose, and relationship to others. One’s consciousness then affects all aspects of one’s life; and is the directing guideline of all actions.
The beauty of “consciousness” is that it is a constantly changing and growing process; beginning in the first years of life and fed by learning, experience and choice, throughout one’s time on earth.
There are special souls, such as Marianne Williamson, who inspire, teach and lead others on this journey of growth and discovery. Stepping forward to offer herself in a very public position of leadership would bring her own higher consciousness into the decisions and policies that impact the citizens she leads.
Her example then, is the greatest principle of her leadership; she is led by a “higher’ mind that intuitively guides and directs. The Source of this higher mind is innately known, though so often hidden, within each soul in the great adventure of Earth life.
Take care here to not mistake this explanation as a “spiritual” explanation relating to either churches, dogma, philosophy….the word spiritual refers to the ageless, timeless soul which has no beginning and no end, has earthly lives, and returns Home to rest and renew at death.
Those who do not yet recognize this old truth and whose consciousness has not grown beyond “earth mind’, will often denigrate what they do not understand (as the Spokesperson recently did regarding Marianne Williamson’s candidacy using words such as “yoga” and “aura” in context).
The predominant “earth mind” is evident throughout our world, and especially in our country; greed and avarice create a climate of great fear which is widespread and highly contagious.
The prevailing leadership displays and supports earth mind; the collective consciousness stagnates, and does not change and grow without dynamic “spiritual” leadership…..which addresses the soul of mankind and elevates thinking beyond the miasma of clouded earth mind.
A uniquely qualified candidate such as Marianne Williamson will choose a different path of leadership; surprisingly practical in that her decisions yet aligned with the powerful wisdom and direction of Highest Mind.
Mankind exists now in a most urgent state, throughout the world and in the disintegrating society of our country; past experience has shown the inefficacy of “world mind” leadership.
I believe that she, Marianne Williamson is being directly inspired and led to step forward in dynamic and powerful leadership, which will be guided by her own great consciousness.
