Marianne

If you’re into spiritual studies and you’ve never heard of Marianne Williamson, read on because you should check out this amazing spiritual guru. Marianne’s been on the book-writing and speaker circuit consistently since the early 80’s. Back then I lived in New York City, and she used to speak at the Town Hall theatre every month. Me and some co-workers at my night job would jump on the subway over our dinner break and rush downtown to catch as much as we could of her lecture. Yes, she’s now become pretty commercial and she’s one of “Oprah’s Friends,” but the real treat is listening to Marianne speak. For the past 30 or 40 years, she’s been preaching spiritual concepts from A Course in Miracles — an inspiring and radical book about dissolving the spiritual ego, unconditional love, and universal peace. Marianne has an incredible energy when she lectures. She never refers to any speaking notes and can easily evangelize on The Course non-stop for 60 or 90 minutes straight. When she takes questions from the audience or you hear her on radio Q&A shows, she tells it like it is and cuts right through a person’s ego nonsense. Check out Marianne’s web site to see if she is lecturing near you or you can also hear her on XM radio at different times throughout the day and Sunday mornings from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. (eastern) — C
