Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasna. Today I welcome my old friend, Marianne Williamson, back to the show.

Marianne is a best-selling author, former presidential candidate, and spiritual leader.

She burst on the scene in the early 90s with her best-selling book, A Return to Love,

which synthesize the teachings of A Course in Miracles.

Though in our conversation today, we explore key themes in her latest book titled The Mystic

Jesus, where she re-examines the teachings of Jesus Christ through a modern psychotherapeutic lens.

Marianne discusses how these ancient spiritual teachings can serve as modern tools for inner transformation and collective healing.

She touches on the limitations of institutional religion, the search for inner peace,

and the importance of addressing societal issues like justice and equality.

She also highlights the need for an integrated politics, an approach that combines internal development

with systemic change to create a society rooted in compassion and love. Reflecting on her

past presidential campaigns, she shares her vision for a political system that genuinely serves

people. Whether it's addressing the inner journey

or societal information or the future of democracy, Marianne's insights always inspire and help us

think critically about our role in creating a world that is in alignment with our highest values.
