The Awakening of the American Spirit
New York Times bestselling author and activist Marianne Williamson often quotes this line by Mahatma Gandhi, “…politics should be sacred." She argues that America needs a new political conversation, a new dimension of citizenship among all of us, a new awakening of the American spirit, and a recognition that our country should not be run like a business. It should be run like a family.
At a time when fear has been harnessed for political purposes, Williamson says our task is to turn wisdom and love into a political force. She argues that as we write the next chapter in American history, our task is to change the conversation from a transactional, mechanistic politics to something more soulful and connected to the truth of who we are. Listen as Marianne discusses how we can best contribute to the spiritual awakening that will transform the multiple crises our country now faces.
