Do you recognize this renowned quote below?
“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.”
That quote came from renowned author Marianne Williamson’s book, A Return to Love. The quote is so pivotal and so truthful. Indeed, it is just as truthful as everything that she writes in this book.
According to the Publisher: “This book is based on Williamson’s discovery of A Course in Miracles , a self-help guide whose provenance she doesn’t explain. Age 26 at the time and feeling lost and desperate after indulging in the excesses of the 1960s, the Jewish author had no real hope for inspiration from the course because of its Christian terminology. But, she writes in this guide to the guide, the program works “miracles” for herself and for others who adopt its principles.”
The book will deeply change your life. As one Amazon.com reviewer wrote:”Where do I even begin with this review? This book has entirely changed my life, my perspective, my attitude, my feelings about myself and others, I could go on and on. This is something that I cannot stop talking about. Anyone who is lost, confused about religion, who feels poorly about themselves or others, depressed, or just doesn’t feel like life is much “fun” anymore…..read this book! I can’t even tell you what a load it takes off and how wonderful it is to learn that God LOVES you, is not out to punish you, and only has your happiness in mind.
For those of you who have ever felt lost within the world, this book is truly for you. It teaches you to return to One Being/ Person who really truly matters, who will give you comfort, and who will give you peace. This One Being is: God.
