If we only identify with the mortal world, then we identify with a level of scarcity and lack and brokenness, and that will be our experience. But if we shift our experience of self-identification - and this is what enlightenment is - from the body-self to the spiritual-self, then we place ourselves under an entirely different set of possibilities and probabilities.
Marianne WilliamsonAngels light the way. Angels do not begrudge anyone anything, angels do not tear down, angels do not compete, angels do not constrict their hearts, angels do not fear. That's why they sing and that's how they fly. We, of course, are only angels in disguise.
Marianne WilliamsonIf a train doesnโt stop at your station, itโs simply because itโs not your train. Donโt try to flag down the conductor and convince them to stop there, even if their own map says that they should just keep going. You may not realize it, but thereโs another train trying to come toward you, unable to get into your station because a train that doesnโt even belong there is being delayed there by your intensity.
