The world that we know is dying, says Marianne Williamson, New York Times bestselling author, spiritual leader, political activist, and presidential nominee for the 2020 election. 

So how courageous are we willing to be? How blunt are we willing to be? How serious are we willing to be? How much truth telling are we willing to tell? 

Now is the time to say the quiet part out loud. 

Marianne recalls her father telling her as a child: ‘go and beat the system, kids, beat the system’. And she’s been doing that ever since: 

“They use the culture war issues to distract us from the real problem, which is the corporate ownership of our Congress and White House. You know, our Congress is a system of legalized bribery at this point.”

In this latest episode of Into The Magic Shop, Marianne discusses all things public policy, kindness, compassion and miracles:

“I have optimism about everything because I believe in miracles. But I believe that the moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”

We will get it right in the end, says Marianne, the question is though, whether the change will be a painful violent one, or a wise and tender one?

What is Into the Magic Shop?

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, many were overwhelmed with stress, anxiety and depression. While this epidemic of stress has been growing over the past decade, it has been exacerbated by the pandemic and the divisive nature of political discourse. As a result, many people feel disconnected, inauthentic, and unhappy, while questioning the source of their unhappiness when they presumably have “everything”—an absence of compassion, for oneself and others, is often the source of the problem.

Many of us don’t understand the nature of self-compassion nor the power of compassion to improve our lives and alleviate our suffering. By entering the “Magic Shop”, Jim will share his wisdom and introduce a variety of techniques to change the course of one’s life and share his own lessons learned through the exchange of untold stories of his guests. He will interview authors and experts in the fields of philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, spirituality and religion, as well as individuals with unique points of view. He will also engage his listeners by answering their questions and also at times interview listeners who are willing to share their own stories of challenge and hardship.
