Politics and ACIM

political stage

Marianne Williamson, known for her teachings on A Course in Miracles (ACIM), has recently made headlines by running for president. Many wonder if her political aspirations align with the principles of ACIM., which emphasize love, forgiveness, and spiritual growth. Williamson's campaign focuses on bringing a message of compassion and unity to the political arena, advocating for policies that prioritize the well-being of all individuals. Her unique perspective and approach have sparked important discussions about what it means to incorporate spirituality into politics and promoting a more holistic vision for society. Regardless of the outcome of her presidential bid, Marianne Williamson's presence in the political sphere undeniably brings more attention to issues of ethics, morality, and consciousness in governance.


While Williamson's campaign may not appear to some to directly mirror the teachings of ACIM, her message of love, unity, and spiritual growth resonates with many who are familiar with the course. It's interesting to see how her beliefs influence her approach to politics and leadership. Whether or not Marianne Williamson's presidential run follows ACIM principles to the letter may be up for debate. However, it's clear that her platform is rooted in compassion and a desire for healing - values that are central to A Course in Miracles and reflect in her actions as well. Her emphasis on love and unity in the political arena is refreshing, especially during a time of increasing polarization and division. While some may question the practicality of applying spiritual principles to governance, Williamson's advocacy for compassion and understanding brings a unique perspective to the conversation. It will be interesting to see how her campaign continues to evolve and influence both politics and society as a whole.


We know from studying the course that the world is an illusion, however she has confirmed that she is following her inner guidance while still living in this dream. While we understand the illusory nature of the world, there is a deeper guidance at play guiding us through our experiences. It's like navigating through a dream where things may not be as they seem on the surface. Perhaps embracing this perspective allows us to move through life with more awareness and openness to the unknown possibilities that lie ahead. While you may not agree with Williamson, the important part is to forgive any annoyances you may have towards her. This could be one of your important lessons. It's not for anyone to judge another's path, because we can't possible see the bigger picture at play.


One of the most famous quotes from ACIM is "I need do nothing." This statement can be a bit perplexing at first glance, but its essence lies in surrendering to a higher power and trusting in divine guidance. It doesn't mean being passive or lazy, but rather letting go of ego-driven actions and allowing space for spiritual wisdom to guide your path. So, whether you're exploring ACIM, following Marianne Williamson's journey, or simply seeking inner peace, remember that the core message is about love, forgiveness, and spiritual awakening to a deeper understanding of the self and the universe. By practicing love and forgiveness, we open ourselves up to a more profound connection with the divine. Remember, you are a vessel of love in this world - let that light guide you on your journey.
