As a speaker and writer on transformational wisdom for over four decades, Marianne Williamson has delved into the metaphysics of great religious and spiritual figures. She has come to the position of radical responsibility for her thoughts and actions, and offers vulnerable lessons on how to thrive with that outlook.

Williamson’s newest book, THE MYSTIC JESUS: The Mind of Love, liberates the very idea of Jesus from the narrow confines of Christian dogma or doctrine. Seen through the lens of A Course in Miracles, he is regarded not as a religious figure but as a spiritual force, a non-exclusive yet universally available portal to the deepest regions of the higher self.

In shifting from an over-identification with the material to an all-encompassing embrace of the spiritual, your life transforms on the deepest level. How do you attain that transformation? How does it affect your life? And who is Jesus in the process, should we wish to call him in?
