Forget “Which candidate would you like to have a beer with?” The question should be “Which candidate would you do ayahuasca with?” And the answer is very clearly Marianne Williamson.
Kamala Harris may have been the consensus victor of Thursday evening’s Democratic primary debate, but because this is America 2019, the media frenzy, of course, is focused squarely on the night’s breakout star in author and activist Williamson.
Radiating a possibly lethal dose of Big Yoga Retreat Energy, the friend of Oprah captured attention for her head-scratching scorn for New Zealand and her just-returned-from-a-yearlong-stay-in-Sedona vibes while ranting about harnessing the power of love to defeat President Trump.
Williamson was almost immediately parodied by SNL star Kate McKinnon and, of course, the newfound attention for an otherwise obscure candidate sent reporters—most notably BuzzFeed’s Ellie Hall—digging through her Twitter feed for pearls of wisdom you’d expect to gently roll out your hippie aunt’s mouth after the room has been properly smudged, the edibles have been consumed, and the negative energy banished.
So remove your ear candle, take off your magnetic bracelets, dim the lights, put on some Enya, and join us for a trip through the greatest Marianne Williamson tweets.

Just beneath the surface, this isn't politics it's black magic. Entirely a psychic battle. Use your shield of Virtue and your sword of Truth

Humanity needs a mental shower: we need to wash off all prejudices of the 20th Century and stand naked beneath the waters of eternal Truths.

Yin is feminine, earth; yang is masculine, sky. When God is seen as He, the soul is seen as She. Just archetypes. Spirit impregnates soul.

The same planes that deliver bombs also drop food. We could change the military-industrial complex into a humanitarian-industrial complex.

OK, UH, WHAT? THIS ISN’T RIGHT...
There is a blood test for diabetes. There is no blood test for depression. Anti-depressants are overprescribed, often for situational depression that is part of a normal range of human despair. As far as brain chemistry is concerned, meditation is known to affect/change it.

The psychotherapeutic-psychopharmacological-industrial complex is one of the most threatening forces in America today. Putting our children on psychotherapeutic drugs does more to cause depression than to heal it. Parents awaken.

For those too young to remember, trust me: who killed Kennedy is indeed a big deal. A nation, like an individual, is as sick as its secrets.

OK, BRING BACK THE POSITIVE ENERGY
A natural intelligence turns embryos into babies, acorns into oak trees, and you into an enlightened being if you will allow it to.

The real you is not a body. Your body is merely a suit of clothes. Physical birth was not your beginning and physical death is not your end.
