“Our deepest fear is not that we
are inadequate. Our deepest fear is
that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness,
that most frightens us…”
The book those lines are written in, the author who wrote them, and our chance to delve deeper into what they mean.
Join us for a season of discovery with
A Return to Love: Reflections of the principles of A Course in Miracles
I started lecturing on A Course in Miracles at the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles in 1983.
Five years later, I was having dinner before my lecture in San Francisco with Dr. Jerry Jampolsky, one of the original “founding generation” of Course students. During our conversation he suggested that I write a book…
“Others have told me that,” I said, “but I don’t feel pregnant with a book.”
“It’s all in those little tapes you make!” he said.
“Well, I don’t know how to get the material off the tapes and onto a page.”
“So let’s just agree in consciousness,” he said to me, “that there is someone out there who could help you do that.” He reached across the table and shook my hand.
Exactly one week later, I gave a talk in New York City. At the end of my talk there was a line of people waiting to talk to me. I glanced at the man at the end of the line and had the thought that I would have some kind of destiny with him.
When he reached the front of the line, he introduced himself as a literary agent and asked if I had ever thought about writing a book.
“Others have told me that,” I said, “but I don’t feel pregnant with a book.”
“It’s all in those little tapes you make!” he said.
“Well, I don’t know how to get the material off the tapes and onto a page.”
I’m sure you know where this is going by now. “Well,” he said, “I can help you do that.”
Five years later, in 1992, the book was published. It was called A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles. Originally due to my appearance on Oprah! the book became an overnight success and ended up being the fifth best selling book in America that year. It has sold over three million copies and has had an extraordinary life of its own.
A paragraph from the book beginning “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…” (often misattributed to Nelson Mandela) has found its way into everything from greeting cards to tattoos. The book has been a blessing on many lives, including mine. Now, over thirty years later, I am delighted to do a teaching that will hopefully enhance the material.
I hope you will join me for an intense experience — and hopefully intensely fun! — studying the book together. I think I’ll have some anecdotes about my life at that time, and the world around me, that will add to our understanding. The book itself has been a bit of a miracle, and after 32 years I’m looking forward to the revisit.
The world is so in need of miracles, and we’re the miracle-workers we’ve been waiting for. Let’s join together and up our game.
Much love,
Now for the first time in more than a decade,
Marianne is leading a LIVE series
based on A Return to Love.
You’re invited to join Marianne for six transformative weeks as she takes the principles of A Course in Miracles and presents them as simple concepts that feel easy and natural to apply to your daily life.
She’ll share how love is the essential existential fact. It’s our ultimate reality and our purpose on earth. And to be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life.
As Marianne writes in A Return to Love, “it takes courage…to endure the sharp pains of self-discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.”
Transformation indeed requires courage — but you won’t have to embark on this deep spiritual work alone…
When you join Marianne for these illuminating six weeks, you’ll be surrounded by a worldwide community of fellow seekers — as one of the world’s most renowned spiritual teachers guides you to your true identity, love.
During these six transformative weekly sessions, Marianne will guide you to explore:
- How you can cultivate the spiritual discipline to become the highest expression of who you are, which is Love itself.
- How to work miracles in your everyday life
- What it means to surrender to God – and why it’s such a relief
- How to forgive others – and yourself – to release yourself from a painful past and initiate a new beginning
- How thought is Cause, and experience is Effect — so if you don’t like the effects of your life, you must change the nature of your thinking
- Why your internal state determines your experience, and never the other way around
- Why all of our unhappiness stems from fear
- How we’re all connected through a unified field of Love
A Course in Miracles, weaving in her own lessons as both a student and a teacher.
