Sunday night

“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.”

~Marianne Williamson

This is a beautiful piece of inspiration that seems oddly familar....almost like I had a dream of the very same thing. Thanks Katie!

I think this one saved me today.

And by the way, Marianne Williamson has gotten much of her wisdom from studying the Seth material. (Just a shameless plug for my favorite dead guy!)

Love,

Katie

I wasn't dreaming. Wendy told me that her parents have had this quote on their fridge for years, except that it is attributed to Nelson Mandela...is everybody into Seth these days?

Katie Bowen said...

People were introduced to Seth by Jane Roberts back in the 1960s, but the teachings, well, they are as old as the Universe...

Katie Bowen said...

This quote was authored by Mariane Williamson but is often incorrectly credited to Nelson Mandela.
