0:00.0 | Welcome to Commune, where each week on the show, we explore the ideas and practices that bring us together and help us live healthy and purpose-filled lives. I'm your host, Jeff Krasno. In addition to being a podcast, |
0:22.2 | commun is also an online course platform hosting some of the world's greatest teachers, |
0:27.2 | like today's featured voice, Marianne Williamson. We've had Marianne on the show before, |
0:32.7 | but since then, she has declared her candidacy to be president of all the United States. So we thought it would be a |
0:40.5 | great time to revisit her teachings. Marianne's commune course, teaching the teachers, aims to deepen |
0:47.5 | students' understanding of spirituality and their own devotion to practicing it, to help us become |
0:53.7 | someone who not only understands spiritual principles, |
0:57.2 | but can convey them to others in the deepest possible way. |

1:35.9 | transmission, even going so far as to say that to be ambitious is to doubt God, that ambition |
1:42.9 | is saying, I need to walk ahead of God here. I need to make |
1:46.9 | something happen. Running for president of the United States might seem like one of the most |
1:51.9 | ambitious things a person could do. But listen to this segment and you might see how the process |
1:57.7 | could be approached from a different perspective. Here's an excerpt from |
2:01.4 | teaching the teachers with Marianne Williamson. If you want to try the full course for free, |
