Marianne Williamson's 11th tape in her series of lectures based on A COURSE IN MIRACLES includes Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother and Releasing Your Family which discuss the necessity--and difficulty--of making peace with our families, our past and getting on with our own lives.
Marianne reminds us that our parents did the best that they knew how and that they need to be loved, too. The judgments we make against our families only serve to keep us separate from the gifts they can give us and hurt ourselves. What our families didn't get right, we can get right by focusing on what we learned from our pain and sharing this strength with those in our lives today.
The feelings and issues that come up from our past return t be healed and released, not held in. Marianne tells us that by looking for what our families did right-remembering the loving, tender moments-we can recall what was real in the relationship. Listeners and assured that every generation is given the opportunity to improve; we need only to look where we came from and where we are going.
Marianne Williamson continues, to expand the growing international audience for her profound yet down-to-earth interpretations of A COURSE IN MIRACLES, the revolutionary self-study program of spiritual psychotherapy.
