[@queergrrl83]

Thank you so much! I adored The Book of Longings! I look forward to reading more of her books. Thank you both for such a deep, and meaningful conversation. And thank you Marianne for answering those questions. I really appreciate your thoughts.

Read the Invention of Wings some time ago, the sisters are incorporated in my list of heroes who inspire me to keep going. Sad that in today’s world speaking out against injustice is still often a lonely isolating world where you lose the life you had before you spoke up. Knowing that sparks can be lit against injustice that have the potential to make the lives of future generations better eases the loneliness. Will fill the empty spaces in life by rereading The Invention of Wings to gain more inspiration. Namaste God Bless🙏🏻🌈🦉

They hit the chord when Susan @25:59 talks about hope &it being truly what is needed. I study the Law of Attraction from Abraham-Hicks & hope is the vibrational place from which all solutions arise.

This elevated my consciousness, knowledge, womanhood...everything!

This is quite good. I would invite you to seriously look into Dr. Joy DeGruy and her book "Post Traumatic Slave Disorder". That book was the lightbulb that tied everything together for me. I have always appreciated your take on racial issues in the United States. I think looking into this would tie everything together. Great job with the Podcasts.

Marianne, I love you so much. My husband & I supported your run for POTUS. I love that your convo went to Jesus & his life & his missing years. I have read a book called The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ. There is controversy around the author &how he got the information. But this gospel tells EVERY minute of the life of the man we call Jesus. During the time he was missing much happened & he was communing w/the Sages & high priests at the time. He went to a temple in Heliopolis and was recieved as a pupil. The Heirophant exclaimed, "Rabboni, why come you here? Your wisdom is the wisdom of the gods; why seek for wisdom in the halls of men?" He said, "In every way of earth-life I would walk; in every hall of learning I would sit; the heights that any man has gained, these I would gain..." He then was required to pass seven tests of this secret brotherhood- the 7th degree being THE CHRIST. One of the tests was love divine where he was introduced to a beautiful woman. He did not move to physical action w/her; it does speak of the deep love he then felt that he never felt before. She becomes part of the group called the Christines &travels w/Jesus. I am intregued by Mrs Kidd &her desire to think of Jesus w/a wife. I believe after reading the aquarian gospel Miriam was the closest to a wife he had!

We are insane. Some are peaceful. Some are compassionate. All are insane. Each mind is incarcerated or liberated by the beliefs that obtain faith. Racism is bad. Patriotism is good. Patriotism is racism.

There is a book called Anna grandmother of Jesus. By Claire Heartsong. It puts this discussion to sleep. This is so 90s ladies Or A course of Love (Perron) to know Jesus intimately. (It’s also a primer for acim)
