Today’s passage, is a quote taken from Marianne Williamson on the first night of the second Democratic debate in 2019. In response to the 'Flint water crisis' Williamson made the point that the decision to cut costs and allow the largely, community of color in Flynt, to suffer would have never happened in the affluent rich, white town of Gross Pointe, a place where she once resided. During the debate, she stated, “This is the part of the dark underbelly of American society. The racism, the bigotry, and the entire conversation that we’re having here tonight—if you think any of this wonkiness is going to deal with this dark psychic force of the collectivized hatred that this President is bringing up in this country, then I’m afraid that the Democrats are going to see some very dark days."

Marianne Williamson is often ridiculed for using the phrase “dark psychic forces.” 

The term 'psychic' may be defined as something inexplicable by natural laws, involving telepathy or clairvoyance, which is what most commenters choose to focus on. However, ‘psychic’ also means ‘relating to the soul or mind.'

A year and a half after Marianne Williamson suggested that Democrats either deal with the dark psychic forces  stirring up the collectivized hatred against non-white races, or brace for the impact, The U.S. Capitol building was stormed by racist, white nationalist groups, toting confederate flags, wearing Nazi slogans and other symbols of hate, while carrying nooses to spark the remembrance of hanging black slaves in the south.

It was a traumatic day. the hatred juxtaposed with signs that stated, “Jesus saves!” A schism. It was as if there was a  dark psychic force-- of the collectivized hatred--that the President was bringing up in this country as it was the President who had energized the insurgence only hours before at a rally.

We live in a binary world of black and white thinking often dismissing the creative, prophetic thinkers of our generation, because they do not fit the societal norms we've bought into from our conditioning.

So, now a year and a half later, after all the ridiculing, shaming and  celebratory name-calling that Marianne Williamson is “crazy” or ‘bonkers” --where was the fault in her Democratic debate ‘dark psychic forces’ statement?
