Marianne Williamson Peace and Spirituality Expert

Author Marianne Williamson is one of the most recognized names in contemporary spiritual literature and philosophy. She has published eight books, including her national bestsellers, “A Return to Love”, “A Woman’s Worth”, and “Illuminata”.

Born in 1952, Williamson explored a number of careers before she started lecturing professionally to small groups in Los Angeles in the 1980s on A Course in Miracles. A Course in Miracles is a contemporary expression of New Thought, which she describes as “a self-study program of spiritual psychotherapy.” Her talks became very popular and soon attracted a large following. She began creating audiotapes of her lectures, and after their widespread success, eventually moved on writing books.

In 1989, Williamson founded Project Angel Food, a meals-on-wheels program that serves homebound people with AIDS in the L.A. area. Today, Project Angel Food serves over 1,000 people daily. She also co-founded the Global Renaissance Alliance (GRA), a worldwide network of peace activists. The mission of the GRA is to harness the power of nonviolence as a social force for good.

Getting Started with Marianne Williamson

A great place to get started with Marianne Williamson is with her New York Times bestseller, “A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles.” This book is based on the author’s experiences as a teacher and lecturer on the study guide A Course in Miracles.

“A Course in Miracles” has been described as a complete self-study spiritual thought system. As a three-volume curriculum consisting of a text, workbook for students, and manual for teachers, it teaches that the way to universal love and peace—or remembering God—is by undoing guilt through forgiving others. The Course thus focuses on the healing of relationships and making them holy. “A Course in Miracles” also emphasizes that it is but one version of the universal curriculum, of which there are “many thousands.” Consequently, even though the language of the Course is that of traditional Christianity, it expresses a nonsectarian, non-denominational spirituality. A Course in Miracles therefore is a universal spiritual teaching, not a religion.

Williamson writes about love, relationships, God, self-esteem, and more. In a clear and understandable manner, “A Return to Love” describes what A Course in Miracles is about, outlining its basic principles and ideas. “A Return to Love” has sold over a million copies and is also available in audio format.

Favorite Quotes and Thoughts
from Marianne Williamson

 

  • The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.

  • Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle.

  • Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

  • It is our light, not our darkness which most frightens us.

  • We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be?

  • You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

  • We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And, as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

  • As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
