Marianne Williamson Instagram – Martin Luther King Jr. said “The desegregation of the American South is the externalization of the goal of the civil rights movement, but the ultimate goal is the establishment of the beloved community.” We need external as well as internal change, a genuinely holistic and integrative model of politics going forward. The 20th century was dominated by a different worldview then the 19th, and the 21st-century is dominated by another worldview still. The 20th century mindset was filtered through a very mechanistic perspective, while the 21st-century is far more holistic and whole person. We’re ready to look not only at symptoms but at root causes. we want to bring more of ourselves to bear upon problem-solving than simply the application of external remedies. It’s now believed by scientists that a partnership between brain and heart is the true intelligence center of the body, and the same must be true of society if we are to repair our wounded selves. Again in the words of MLK Jr., “We need quantitative changes in our circumstances and qualitative shifts in our souls.” Full video of my talk in Eugene, Oregon at the link in bio.
