Home Actress Marianne Williamson HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers May 2024 Marianne Williamson Instagram - The history of Mother’s Day is about a whole lot more than brunch or flowers. It was about war and peace, life or death. So let’s reclaim it and make it real… MOTHER’S DAY PROCLAMATION Boston, 1870 “Arise, then… women of this day! Arise, all women who have hearts, whether our baptism be that of water or of tears! Say firmly: We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies. Our husbands shall not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience. We, women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs. From the bosom of the devastated earth a voice goes up with our own. It says: Disarm, Disarm! The sword of murder is not the balance of justice. Blood does not wipe out dishonor, nor violence vindicate possession. As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil at the summons of war, let women now leave all that may be left of home for a great and earnest day of council. Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead. Let them then solemnly take council with each other as to the means whereby the great human family can live in peace, each bearing after his own kind the sacred impress, not of Caesar, but of God. In the name of womanhood and of humanity, I earnestly ask that a general congress of women, without limit of nationality, may be appointed and held at some place deemed most convenient, and at the earliest period consistent with its objects, to promote the alliance of the different nationalities, the amicable settlement of international questions, the great and general interests of peace.“ ~ Julia Ward Howe This year, let’s embrace the meaning of these words more deeply than ever before. May they blossom in our hearts and turn our tears into powerful action. This is a good one to read aloud, by the way, to each other and to our daughters. May peace prevail, today and forever. 💙

MOTHER’S DAY PROCLAMATION
Boston, 1870

“Arise, then… women of this day!
Arise, all women who have hearts,
whether our baptism be that of water or of tears!
Say firmly:
We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies.
Our husbands shall not come to us, reeking with carnage,
for caresses and applause.
Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.
We, women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country
to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.

From the bosom of the devastated earth a voice goes up with our own.
It says: Disarm, Disarm!
The sword of murder is not the balance of justice.
Blood does not wipe out dishonor,
nor violence vindicate possession.
As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil
at the summons of war,
let women now leave all that may be left of home
for a great and earnest day of council.

Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead.
Let them then solemnly take council with each other as to the means
whereby the great human family can live in peace,
each bearing after his own kind the sacred impress, not of Caesar,
but of God.

In the name of womanhood and of humanity, I earnestly ask
that a general congress of women, without limit of nationality,
may be appointed and held at some place deemed most convenient,
and at the earliest period consistent with its objects,
to promote the alliance of the different nationalities,
the amicable settlement of international questions,
the great and general interests of peace.“

~ Julia Ward Howe

Marianne Williamson Instagram – In ACIM it says you can have a grievance or a miracle, but you cannot have both. Holding a grievance is a way of keeping your personal universe frozen. Continuing to attack someone else in your mind, you are attacking yourself. Why? Because there is only one of us here.

So when you think of people towards whom you hold grievances, your emotional salvation lies in letting it go. There is something profound about accepting things – and people – exactly as they are. It isn’t condoning anything, it’s simply allowing a power higher than yourself heal the situation. Once we get to this place, then even if we need to hold a person or system accountable we do it in a different way. We’re coming from a different place within ourselves. 

Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it. If we are judging people for the way they acted, we are wrong even if we are right. Only when we give up the judgment, can we be a conduit for a miraculous shift in the situation. 

The universe is intentional, always bending in the direction of the next best thing, the miracle, the healing, the repairing of the wound. But by holding grievances, we stop the action and stay stuck in the place where our victimization supersedes the possibility of a new beginning.

Whoever it is towards whom you hold any level of grievance right now, consider that it’s fine the way they are. At the deepest level, your pain doesn’t come from them being the way they are but from you wanting them to be different. By  judging them, you are judging yourself. By releasing them, you are releasing yourself. Let it be. The universe will handle this much better than you can.
Marianne Williamson Instagram – In Martin Luther King Jr.’s words, “Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial.”
 
I believe that too. 

People would often say to me, “Why would you want to go into politics, Marianne? Don’t you know how toxic it is?” Of course I knew that politics is toxic. But having seen up close the ways in which bad public policy creates intense human suffering, I felt it was something good people couldn’t in good conscience avoid taking on. I also thought it might take someone speaking from the deepest moral commitment, to move people on the level required to create genuine political force. And I still believe that. I have seen how audiences respond to a political message grounded in the pursuit of justice and love.
 
The American people are not the problem; the problem is a political system that’s like a fist holding down the will of the people lest it become too pesky. Audiences might be moved by talk of principle and compassion, and recognize the relevance of such things to politics and to their lives. But America’s political establishment is not about justice and love; it’s about power and greed. And it’s difficult to change Washington when the opponent owns it. I’ve tried, and what I have seen is disturbing.
 
Towards the beginning of my campaign I received a call from the FBI asking me to come into their office in D.C. I was told I would be given the exact same briefing they gave every other candidate; then was informed of all the dirty tricks I should expect from foreign adversaries such as China, Russia or Iran.
 
I did experience those dirty tricks, but they weren’t from there. They were from here.…
