Marianne Williamson Instagram – Einstein said we would not solve the problems of the world from the level of thinking we were at when we created them. Spirituality and psychotherapy at their peak are the same thing, both having to do with a healing of the mind. No fundamental external change will occur without a massive healing of the heart.
Spirituality isn’t a separate category of existence; it speaks to the underground river of consciousness that either feeds or depletes our individual and societal life force. The universal theme at the heart of all the great religions and spiritual traditions are love and mercy and dedication to justice. How ironic, and how horrible, that religions created to promote such themes have become tools of separation rather than conduits of unity.
So we must do the work ourselves. As the Dalai Lama said, “To save the world. we must have a plan, but no plan will work unless we meditate.” Whatever our spiritual or religious process, it’s vital now. The world will not change unless we do.
“The Mystic Jesus” is an exploration of the metaphysical, psychotherapeutic meaning of one who has been trapped for too long within the narrow confines of institutional religion. Seen through the lens of the mystical heart, he is not so much a religious figure as a universal spiritual force. In rethinking him, we rethink ourselves and we rethink the world. And then the world can change.
It’s available online or at bookstores everywhere. Let me know your thoughts as you read it. I hope it opens new dimensions of life for you.🙏
