Marianne Williamson's greatest quote is there
https://naturalfreedom.info/viewtopic.php?p=236#p236
“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 that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were 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 own 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.” - Marianne Williamson

As a speaker and writer on transformational wisdom for over four decades, Marianne Williamson has delved into the metaphysics of great religious and spiritual figures. She has come to the position of radical responsibility for her thoughts and actions, and offers vulnerable lessons on how to thrive with that outlook.
Williamson’s newest book, THE MYSTIC JESUS: The Mind of Love, liberates the very idea of Jesus from the narrow confines of Christian dogma or doctrine. Seen through the lens of A Course in Miracles, he is regarded not as a religious figure but as a spiritual force, a non-exclusive yet universally available portal to the deepest regions of the higher self.
In shifting from an over-identification with the material to an all-encompassing embrace of the spiritual, your life transforms on the deepest level. How do you attain that transformation? How does it affect your life? And who is Jesus in the process, should we wish to call him in?
Towards the end of the show we talk about Kennedy, Trump, the DNC and the blessings and dangers that lay ahead.
What a podcast, and what a legacy!

Some good quotes :

**"The course of Miracles says, 'You are totally free to think whatever you want to think... What you cannot do, however, is diminish the power of your thought.'"** - Marianne Williamson, highlighting the importance of responsible thinking.

And similar to Grinus's sig, when she talks about Michelangelo :
"God is a great sculptor, and the marble is the human mind. He chips away at it, and the figure that emerges is the true self."
"The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material."
"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free."
