Authentic Living

Marianne Williamson is coming back to the Authentic Living show for the second time this week to talk to us about her latest book, The Law of Divine Compensation: On Work, Money and Miracles. Most of us already know several of Marianne's other books, including A Return to Love, The Age of Miracles, Everyday Grace, A Woman's Worth, Illuminata, Healing the Soul of America and The Gift of Change, for as Time Magazine puts it, Yoga, the Cabala and Marianne Williamson have been taken up by those seeking a relationship with God that is not strictly tethered to Christianity. We also know that thousands of books have been published on the subjects of work and money. And thousands of others on miracles. But bridging the gap between the work, the money and the miracle—now that's a subject worth considering. On this, the day after Christmas, you could have a life-changing experience through this discussion. Don't let yourself miss it!

Why don't we have wings? I mean, think about it. We can do just about everything else, but we can't fly, I mean, not without an airplane. Why not? Well, it could be because we are meant to grow our own set. And the kind of wings I'm talking about are inner-wings. They are the wings that allow us to assume our own empowerment, to fly into the heights of beingness, into the fullness of presence, into the power of transcendence while keeping our feet solidly planted on terra firma. But how do we do it? Well, the truth is that we don't really grow them—they are already there and fully grown. No, we find them. And once we find them, we can't help but begin to use them—for they are a refined essence of who we are. Finding our inner wings is the essence of authentic leadership. And it is through authentic leadership that we will change our companies, our businesses, our governments, politics, healthcare and everything else on planet earth. Got wings? Don't miss this show.

The problem with all of our talk about manifesting, is that we don't ever consider asking what it is within us that manifests. Jesus once said "I can do nothing of my own initiative." And yet with all the talk out there about how to manifest, we much more often hear about all the things we should initiate, all of the exercises we can do to elicit from ourselves the essential ingredients to the initiation of manifestation. But what if manifestation is actually conducted by the power of the divine within us—by some shear essence of who we are that is not made of our own initiative. So when it comes to manifesting our dreams, perhaps we need to be thinking about how it is that we get out of the way, how we surrender, to allow the manifestation of the divine to flow through us. And that's what we are going to be talking about today. At the beginning of this new year, and at the fringes of our new awakening, let's think about a whole new paradigm for manifestation.

How do people deliberately create the life they want—without creating it out of the intention of duality? Duality resides within us as a force, an energy to which we've given a lot of power. It tells us what to do based on the agenda that we are separate from the divine and each other. So, when we create on purpose, which part of us is creating? Can we just think that we want something and maintain a positive mindset about it and it will come to us? Anodea Judith and Lion Goodman are here today to discuss the concept of creating on purpose, based on their book of the same title. Here you will learn about creating on purpose from the deeper more authentic self. Anodea is the author of several classics on the chakra system, including the bestseller Wheels of Life, Eastern Body, Western Mind, and the award-winning DVD The Illuminated Chakras. Lion is the cofounder of the Luminary Leadership Institute, teaching leaders the principles of manifestation. Don't miss this illuminating show.

We've heard of the spirit of Christmas past, present and future. But what is the spirit of a new beginning? What is a new beginning? Here we are just a few weeks into the end of the Mayan calendar—have we begun again? Are their transformative powers at work? And what does it mean to begin a new year, to develop a new habit, to change a way of thinking? How does a beginning happen? Well it happens—or it doesn't—because of its spirit. There is a spirit base to a true new beginning because it is conducted in and by spirit. Its source isn't found in our thoughts, our emotions, or our actions. Its source is found in our essence, where all action that is action occurs effortlessly. So, today, at this time of new beginnings, we are going to be talking about that spirit: how we access it and its power to carry a new beginning through to its destination. Don't miss it.

When Don Miguel Ruiz was a young boy, his grandfather told him many stories from the Toltec Tradition. One of these was the story of the sleeping giant—who represents unaware humanity. He was told then that one day in Mexico, the giant would awaken and from there, he would rouse the entire world. Don Miguel comes to the Authentic Living show this week to tell us about the upcoming "Awakening the Giant" event happening in Teotihuacan between starting Dec. 7th and going through the Winter solstice on Dec. 21st. He and his family join together to bring in a new era of enlightenment at the place "where humans awake and become God." Author of the megabestseller, The Four Agreements, and The Mastery of Love, The Voice of Knowledge, and The Fifth Agreement, co-written with his son, he comes today to facilitate our awakening.

If you had the choice, right now, as to whether you would live or die, what reason would you give for staying alive? What do we live for? Or do we just live? Or perhaps, we just survive. These are not questions about life-purpose. These are questions about the now-ness of living. What makes us want to get up in the morning? What drives us home at night? What are we doing in the now of living that is all about being alive? This is the question for today. And it has everything to do with living authentically. Because here's the thing: We all have that choice about living or dying every single second of our lives. What are we choosing? You do not want to miss this show.

We are so excited this week to have Marianne Williamson on the Authentic Living Show to talk to us about her latest NY Times Bestseller, A Course in Weight Loss: 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering Your Weight Forever. Most of us already know several of Marianne's other books, including The Age of Miracles, Everyday Grace, A Woman's Worth, Illuminata, Healing the Soul of America and The Gift of Change, for as Time Magazine puts it, Yoga, the Cabala and Marianne Williamson have been taken up by those seeking a relationship with God that is not strictly tethered to Christianity. We also know that thousands of books have been published on weight loss. But none of these books can offer the permanent plan offered in A Course in Weight Loss. Nor do they offer the powerful lessons in transformational surrender that this book clarifies so well. This could be a life-changing discussion today—don't let yourself miss it!
