Marianne Williamson Instagram – Tomorrow I go to New Mexico, then Oregon. I will end the trip with talks in Baltimore and Puerto Rico and then finit! Politically, I will have said my piece. I’ll have done all that I can do this political season to suggest to the American people that there might be a better way. My last campaign event will be April 22nd, and the book will be published on May 7. I do wish, as I’m sure they do as well, that we had a bit more time to transition from my political to my spiritual offerings. But such schedules work the way they work, so we have seventeen days to switch from one part of the brain to the other… Maybe it’s my Gemini ascendant that’s responsible for the way I go back and forth between two such different sets of mental operating systems. In my mind they’re not contradictory, however. As Martin Luther King said, “The desegregation of the American South is the political externalization of the goal of the civil rights movement, but the ultimate goal is the establishment of the beloved community.” He was a movement leader and also a Baptist preacher, saying it was “time to inject a new dimension of love into human civilization.” He, like Mahatma Gandhi before him, urged inner as well as outer change. By both realms of life I am intrigued, and to both I’m equally devoted. We need horizontal change that transforms our politics and vertical change that transforms our souls. The universe is recalibrating itself in all of us, giving rise to new portals of possibility. If we’re alert, we see changes in both our circumstances and in ourselves. But there is a mystery to change and we should respect it. Sometimes we have to let go of what is no longer ours in order to receive what is calling to us now. There was such a mystical hush during the eclipse on Monday, reminding me of when our electronics are on the fritz and we turn everything off for a few seconds to let the system reset itself. Surely the world is trying to do that. We are trying to change. We are trying to renew ourselves. One season passes and another now begins.
