Rather than accepting that we are the loving beings that He created, we have arrogantly thought that we could create ourselves, and then create God. Because we are angry and judgmental, we have projected those characteristics onto Him. We have made up a God in our image. But God remains who He is and always has been: the energy, the thought of unconditional love.

Marianne WilliamsonSome pain is simply the normal grief of human existence. That is pain that I try to make room for.
Marianne WilliamsonThe ego is always looking to find something. The Spirit can see what's already there.
Marianne WilliamsonThe choice to follow love through to its completion is the choice to seek completion within ourselves. The point at which we shut down on others is the point at which we shut down on life. We heal as we heal others, and we heal others by extending our perceptions past their weaknesses. Until we have seen someoneโs darkness, we donโt really know who that person is. Until we have forgiven someoneโs darkness, we donโt really know what love is. Forgiving others is the only way to forgive ourselves, and forgiveness is our greatest need.
