Marianne Williamson suggests using ‘the power of the mind’ to change
Hurricane Dorian’s course.
This has generated
many amused and sarcastic comments from media and the general public
alike.
While the power of
prayer to affect outcomes is claimed to be accepted by a great many people, it
seems that since Williamson is running for President, faith in her promoting prayer
as an option is absurd to any actually rational person.
“The Bahamas, Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas … may all
be in our prayers now,” Williamson tweeted, according to images posted by
several Twitter users. “Millions of us seeing Dorian turn away from land is not
a wacky idea; it is a creative use of the power of the mind. Two minutes of
prayer, visualization, meditation for those in the way of the storm.”
In response to people who found the statement foolish, Ms. Williamson’s
campaign responded by deleting the tweet.
“It was a metaphor,” Williamson spokeswoman Patricia Ewing said in a
statement. “When others speak of prayer and the mind it’s considered profound,
but Williamson is held to a different standard”. I personally think Marianne Williamson should
have been more like our current President and double down on her statement
regardless of how it might be criticized.
I happen to believe that many in this country and around the world do
believe prayer can have an effect on shaping reality.
Ms. Williamson believes this and nothing in science can
prove it false. In fact ideas arising out
of Quantum Physics are affirming that consciousness can have an impact on the
results gotten in an experiment.
There are some famous photographs by a Japanese scientist named
Dr. Emoto. His series of photos were of
various water samples, and they clearly demonstrated the power of thinking on
“reality.” He divided the samples into
groups and then had his volunteers direct their “thoughts” at individual
samples. Here’s the revealing
result. The photographs taken of water
molecules exposed to “positive” thoughts formed beautiful crystal shapes. The water molecules exposed to “negative”
thoughts became chaotic, with no patterns forming. Same water; the only difference was how some
random people “thought” about them.
Thoughts of love and appreciation resulted in beautiful patterns
forming. Send hate and anger toward
those same samples, and all the beautiful patterns breakdown. Order is
lost. That belief is not a part of the
reality most people live in.
To someone with no
appreciation for the power of consciousness to influence the future, Williamson’s
ideas would of course seem ridiculous. One
should be reminded that much of what we accept as simple fact today was once
considered ridiculous by most. As the inevitable
evolution of human consciousness continues, those who thought Williamson’s “power
of mind” idea ridiculous will likely be viewed simply as less informed or individuals
less conscious of the actual workings of reality. Not enough of us have reached the level of
acceptance of our actual capabilities to appreciate the power of prayer and in
a future day they will be simply be considered less evolved primitive thinkers.
It probably will hurt her chance of reaching a high place in
the government of this country but we encourage Marianne Williamson to keep
reminding people that they can consciously impact the realities they experience
in the world around them.
Are you, are
we willing to regain the faith in our ability to shape our world.
