Jennifer Mclean’s interview with Marianne Williamson from last Thursday is online for today till midnight California time at ‘Healing with the Masters’.
(And Carol Cook!, as an extra gift, great conversation too!)
Beautiful meetings with beautiful women.
Friday night (in the Netherlands) before I went to bed I listened to this interview.
I felt that night, with the hassle with my daughter and school, (again) indignant and angry. I told ‘the story’ to my dear neighbor-friend and by telling her I went into criticizing school again. Right or not, I felt it didn’t do me any good.
Jennifer and Marianne talk about prayer.
Marianne is a teacher who works with the book”‘ A Course in Miracles’ and is well known because Nelson Mandella used a paragraph of her book ‘A return to Love’.
A RETURN TO LOVE
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that
other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.”
Marianne says in the interview, when we feel angry with someone or a situation and we don’t know how to stop, we can state the intention we are willing to let the situation develop in love with a payer. That we don’t yet know or see how. That we feel the habit of hanging into the angriness and the outrage , and because we think we are right .
The ‘I’m willing to’ has touched something in me.
That’s how I went to bed. And from that moment on I thought at least 50 times, ok, I give my angriness and outrage willingly to god. And I am very willing to let this situation be handled by spirit with love.
It makes me stop my resentful thoughts who still can become more and more angry fast.
It’s an exercise. Apparently lol.
I so don’t know how it can be different, what I could do or say, how I could behave. I can only feel a good end.
When I think about, I don’t know how, a dutch song pops up in my head which has the words,
‘He doesn’t know how, he doesn’t know how, he doesn’t know how.
I sing it in the she-form.
‘She doesn’t know how’.
And than I start to laugh.
I’m putting my whole self into building a new thought pattern. To change the habit of criticizing and judgement in an automatic thought pattern of ‘Oh, that is a peace of cake. No problem. They are such sweet people and they are so willing to create the best solution. School is open minded. I am open minded. I’m very curious too, about their story’s.’
It is only 1 new path of neurons. I can do it!
Practice makes perfect, repetition works.
An other dutch song pops up in my mind.
It says, “We will continueeeeeee. Till we are in peace!’
