Marianne Williamson Instagram – Certain principles should guide us now.
1) Do not go to sleep. Do not allow yourself to minimize the problem or to nullify your seriousness. Just make sure it’s a quiet, centered, fiercely loving intention. Think Mother Nature when she’s simply had it. She’s not mad. She just won’t take it anymore. This isn’t about hating anyone. It’s about loving freedom so much, and you’re absolutely adamant we will pass it on to future generations. You will not allow your country to bow to authoritarianism.
2) Do not cave. Do not allow yourself to do one single thing out of fear of unpopularity or retribution, or out of obedience in advance.
3) Remember: Nature is organizing the resistance. The most important thing is to make yourself receptive and available. Do not allow yourself to emotionally spiral down, and if you feel it starting to happen, reach out to a friend for help. Grief is appropriate, but you can’t let it run you. The point is to focus on action. It could be reading a book or an article and continuing to educate yourself on what’s happening. It could be attending a local protest. It could be communicating with your own legislators, particularly if they are Republican. Attend any town halls that are related.
What’s important is not the specific action right now so much as the accumulation of energy. People are waking up all over the country, but we have to add to the momentum every day in every way. Do not shy away from posting. You don’t know who is reading and if even one person today opens their eyes to what’s going on because of something that you said or did, you had a successful day.
You were born for this. You are not alone. You are part of a field of energy connecting millions of people in this country and around the world.
Despite it all, life is beautiful.
“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”
― Albert Camus
You have that invincible summer within you too.
