Marianne Williamson is what some would call a spiritual activist. A Spiritual activist si a person who" helps awaken the World to Oneness everyday," or so says http://www.humanitysteam.org/spiritual-activism, 2009. While she is politically and spiritually active, Williamson is probably most famous for her avid support of a book published in 1976 by a group known as the Foundation for Inner Peace titled, A Course In Miracles. (ACIM) She is also co-founder of a group called the Global Renaissance Alliance (GRA), part of Humanity's Team, and she lobbies the US government to form a cabinet-level US “Department of Peace.”
Since reading ACIM, Williamson has written many books herself, books that teach others to use the ACIM principals in their lives. Besides writing books, Marianne Williamson gives lectures, classes and workshops, teaching her students something she calls the Miracle Matrix, which is a series of lectures based on the spiritual Christian conterfiet, ACIM.
ACIM is a Christian conterfiet. This means that some people might think it is Christian when it is not. This is because it snegates Christianity while teying to sound like it. ACIM uses biblical sounding phrases, even talks about Jesus Christ... but it denies the bible's teachings on the reality of sin, the humbling of self and the way to God being only through Jesus. The course, came from JEsus, just the same on page 41 of williamson'her book, AReturn to Love, Williamson assures her students, "A Course in Miracles does not push Jesus." She says, " Although the books come from him, it is made very clear that you can be an advanced student of the course and not relate personally to him at all." This is antithetical tohwat the scriptures about Jesus really says.
This imperial concept is amazing since the entire ACIM courses originated with "JEsus." All f the ACIM uderstandings is said to have come directly from the resurrected mind of "Jesus" to a woman named Helen Schucman. He gave her inner dictation while her friend William Thetford typed out her words and published them. The student of ACIM is so close to JEsus, but yet so far. "Jesus" simply dispensed the information, like some sort of machine; ACIM's JEsus has no love relationship with those who take the Course.
In addition to her books, Marianne offers her fans and followers the opportunity to subscribe to her website, (only 19.99 per month or 199.00 per year.) If you join, your membership entitles you to download the ever growing number of lectures on her website called the "Miracle Matrix" as well as her teaching videos and live telecasts and the opportunity to be a part of the Matrix message boards. Chances are you can help her lobby too.
Williamson's Miracle Matrix is people learning from Marianne, and the psuedo Jesus of ACIM, even praying together in the hopes of seeing miracles happen in thier own lives and in the world. co creating the perfect human world. They do this of course, by things learned from ACIM and Williamson as thier spiritual teacher. They purchase Williamson's books, pay her fees for being part of her matrix... (website) and being politically active at her suggestion, in the hopes of creating a beter world and a future of peace and happiness on earth. Unfortunately this is all without real Christian concepts and the true, life-giving words of the biblcially understood Jesus.
