Quotes from Marianne Williamson

Love is within us. It cannot be destroyed, but can only be hidden.

Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists.

we're going to set any goal, let us set the goal of being healed of the belief that God is fear instead of love

It has been said that love brings up everything unlike itself, and sometimes just when we feel we are moving towards a solution, the problem comes up again and grabs us by the throat. That is natural. It is part of the process. Do not despair.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

The universe provides us with a clean slate in every moment; God's creation holds nothing against us.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous.

T]horoughly unprepared we take the step into the afternoon of life; worse still, we take this step with the false assumption that our truths and ideals will serve us as hitherto. But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning; for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie. — Carl Jung, Stages of Life

God knows our crooked places that need to be made straight, the wounds in our hearts that fester for years unhealed, the broken pieces of our lives that seem beyond repair. And He who is the author of miracles has infinite desire as well as power to heal them all.

We're affected by other peoples' lovelessness only to the extent to which we judge them for it. Otherwise we are invulnerable to the ego, as the Son of God is meant to be.
