and so more from the Marianne Williamson book.
Another thing that I like about this book was the hawk dove dream she had. Reminiscing about when she was a leftist. Fighting with people at a cock tail party (because they are wrong and she is right). paraphrasing here: She has a dream she is told that she thinks she is a dove but she is really a hawk. Fighting against Reagan and other republican paradigm's at a cocktail party... Who is to say that just because this is what we believe to be right- we are right. I love that. I am guilty of that.
and she says:
we are not policing the universe
sooooooo true. thank you.
there is really no right to judge people. And there is no reason to beat ourselves up when we do. She mentions a time when she is getting her nails done and a woman annoys her. She asks god to help her (love) fight these judgemental feelings of 'being annoyed' and she gets it. Automatically she realizes and is shown this formerly 'annoying' lady's struggle, childhood, upbringing, etc...and realizes it is her defense mechanisms wrongly presenting her in this way.
Hmm. I am eager to work on not judging. I mean, really what gives me the right?
