🌿 “The reason we’re such fertile ground for the dark forces of such lies and social manipulation is that we’re dissociated from the genuine light of self-awareness.” ~Marianne Williamson 🌿

🌿 “When infants aren’t held, they can become sick, even die. It’s universally accepted that children need love, but at what age are people supposed to stop needing it? We never do. We need love in order to live happily, as much as we need oxygen in order to live at all.” ~Marianne Williamson 🌿

🌿 “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 🌿

🌿 “There’s no real mystery as to what created the wealth inequality that’s now higher in this country than at any time since 1929. The systematic removal of American wealth from the middle and lower classes to the very richest among us has been happening for decades. ~Marianne Williamson 🌿

“78% of incarcerated inmates in America came out of the child welfare system. Sex trafficking of American girls is a $91 billion business, making us number one among sex-trafficking countries around the world. Some 120,000 girls were shipped into Minneapolis for last year’s Super Bowl, making it arguably the largest sex-trafficking event in the world.”  ~Marianne Williamson 🌿

🌿 “In the words of Nelson Mandela, ‘There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.’ Yet the US ranks at the bottom, or near the bottom, on almost every indicator when it comes to governmental policies toward children. In the US, youth homicide rates are more than 10x the rate of other leading industrialized nations.”

🌿 “Social scientists and psychologists describe our own ‘war zones’ — areas in some of our more violently charged homes, communities, and inner cities — where levels of trauma and post-traumatic stress among children are similar to those experienced by returning vets. But there’s nothing ‘post’ about their traumatic stress, because it’s triggered and retriggered every day. We’ve simply normalized their despair.” 
~Marianne Williamson 🌿

🌿 ”I used to think that top global environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and climate change. I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address these problems, but I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed, and apathy, and to deal with these we need a spiritual and cultural transformation. And we scientists dont know how to do that.” ~Gus Speth 🌿
