<p>Williamson also says in this interview: "I have never been in a situation where it is more challenging to do this." As she is referring to what A Course in Miracles Teaches: "That each decision is a choice between choosing love and choosing fear" (paraphrasing): </p>

And, then you get on the opposite side of the political divide a Republican like Haley, in a recent speech (CNN Town Hall) telling of what she and people did in 2015 with a shooting there, and as govenor of the state, she too "turned away from fear" and that's her leadership. But you'll see she has another agenda and brings in God, where Williamson could use that language too, but she prefers to use Love. These are words from contemporary women leaders in politics in the USA and we ought not to ignore this. </p>
<p>Yet more importantly, we ought to realize, there is an option to the Love or God talk ways... and, that the very act of "turning away from fear" is not so simple as these leaders tend to share and teach about. The path of fearlessness teachings is way more in depth and complex and in touch with reality and offers yet, a very similar result as what Williamson and Haley are preaching about. The Fearlessness Movement is a whole other way of knowing fear, not just turning away from it. </p></div>Cory Booker's Social Diagnosishttps://FearlessnessMovement.ning.com/photos/booker2022-07-29T18:00:13.000Z2022-07-29T18:00:13.000ZR.Michael Fisherhttps://FearlessnessMovement.ning.com/members/RMichaelFisher<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10733274661?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p>I am curious why "culture of fear" is no longer getting so much discussion? </p>
<p>Now, with the "polarization" big worry (especially in the USA, but global too)--the new term more popular is "culture of contempt" -- that's really too bad, because the notion of "hate" gets used with it and the real core problem of "fear" (terror) beneath is further repressed and our analysis gets worse and distracted as to what is really going on... </p></div>Marianne Williamson Book by Fisherhttps://FearlessnessMovement.ning.com/photos/mwpp-ad2021-03-09T14:46:39.000Z2021-03-09T14:46:39.000ZR.Michael Fisherhttps://FearlessnessMovement.ning.com/members/RMichaelFisher<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8646559060?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p>Here's a quick ad for my new book just coming out in hard cover. </p>

<p>The most important national election in U.S. history is underway. Marianne Williamson stepped-up to show she is confident to be president of the United States in 2020. She had to step down. Many people are supportive of her provocative healing vision for American, and that fan and voter-base is growing. She may run again in 2024. However, many are puzzled by her and many are critics on the Left and Right and in between. The book is a thorough case study of Williamson’s speeches, writings, and interviews. lt documents and analyzes the thoughts and feelings of her supporters and critics based on what they have written, performed, and published. It records history while it is being made. The author offers support and criticism of how Williamson’s leadership and her team could have done things different so as to be more successful in the presidential campaign. The big idea throughout the book is to emphasize, as does Williamson’s teaching, that <em>spirituality and politics</em> ought never be separated completely (as religion and the State), if we truly desire more than mere reforms of society, but desire a transformation to a truly better and more liberated world. The book highlights productive guideposts for Williamson and other leaders like Williamson in future campaigns. It offers Americans, and others, a view of "what happened" in 2019-20 that made Williamson an outstanding phenomenon. Students, scholars, journalists, politicians, and the general public interested in the improvement of politics will want to study this book.</p>
