A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson
Marianne Williamson is one of the better-known followers and teachers of A Course In Miracles, a book explaining a spiritual program dictated to Helen Shucman by a being she identified as Jesus. Marianne has based her book on the principles from A Course In Miracles (hereafter referred to as ACIM) and interpreted them in an easy-to- read format.
The central concept from ACIM is that nothing is real except Love. This Love is synonymous with God. The human ego has overshadowed Love with its illusion of a world based on fear. Fear permeates every aspect of this illusionary world, and ego wants us to believe in its reality. As long as we operate in an existence that is fear-based, we are unable to accept our true reality that we are spiritual beings immersed in the energy of Love.
Marianne uses examples from her own and her friends’ lives to illustrate how living in our illusionary fear-based world has caused us to feel separate from God and from each other. In our fearful, illusionary state, our ego tells us to believe that Heaven and Hell are places that we will be sent to after we die, depending on how we are judged by God, a being who has the power to condemn us to everlasting misery. We have forgotten that Love is God / God is Love, and is not a being outside of us, but is always within us. God’s will for us is for all of us to be happy. It is by existing in God’s will that we find this joy. We reach Heaven by going within ourselves where Love has always been and always will be.
Our experiences in this illusionary world offers us the opportunity to heal and grow by learning to love unconditionally. This love dispels the fear that has been holding us back from accepting the miracles that God freely gives us to navigate the illusionary fears we have and bring us back to the only reality there is—Love.
Namaste!
