I am here because this lady touched my soul in a Presidential Debate. You drew a picture of me while using the paint of my pain. Thank you!

[@techwhiz527]

Her speeches are just so factual, soul-stirring and profound! She addresses the burning issues and hit the genesis of the problem with her astute analytical skills. She is one of the best orator I have ever heard! She just speaks her heart and soul out in every speech. She is full of wisdom and courage. She will make a great President!

[@jamienatalia]

This is absolutely incredible! Her spirit is on fire! Every word she says comes from her spirit. Extraordinarily articulate and inspiring. It is Time to collectively put all of our compassion into action NOW! Bless you Marianne for being a vessel for LOVE, TRUTH and CHANGE!

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 I met her, and she is the real deal, her energy ......omg there is no lanuage!💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

[@lorewebb8980]

Our country needs this woman! Please contribute to her campaign. The children of today don't stand a chance unless we have wise people such as herself in office.

[@cynthiareedy5704]

Just as powerful in 2023. She has it !! Prayers to her as she faces the issues and also gratitude for her strength and leadership. ❤

[@lowercaseT1110]

Every single is positive.. Every. Single. Comment. Is Positive! No one doubting her message, no one calling her cooky or crazy & I gotta tell ya, I am so very excited. When Obama ran for President, no one thought he had a chance. He ran on the message, "We Can" and "Change!", and he won. WILLIAMSON FOR PRESIDENT 2020

[@dawnjacobs355]

I love you!! Pay attention to your thoughts, they matter and so does what we do!! No time to waste, treat everyone you meet as if they are Christ ,because they are... their very essence!! LOVE RADICALLY!! If you haven't read A Return to Love... read it!! It changed my life!💚💜

[@regielb1]

Wow! She just presented me a new way of thinking about the universe and life.

[@mwhite9395]

Thank you, Marianne for so gently, and lovingly introduce the concept of Science of Consciousness into you talk. Peace to All, Mitch White

[@elizabethfreer1948]

LIVING IN LOVE NOT FEAR TAKES COURAGE NOT CONTROL BUT WILLFULLNESS SELF AWARENESS AND CONVICTION..THANK YOU MARIANNE..

[@JoeSegal]

I think this is an amazing talk. Love is a "force multiplier". I think she is brilliant, loving, and passionate in her search for growth, redemption and transformation. So what is the prescription? What is the first or next step? Stand up! Speak out! That's Bernie Sanders message too. But in my experience people need a blueprint, checklist and guide showing steps they or we can take each day to create change. And it's got to be rewarding in some way or people don't do it. People learn by stories. Like this one Marianne tells and all the billions of video stories on KZbin. I think if Marianne created a story like Wayne Dyer did with his movie The Shift and used it to inspire people to make healthier more loving choices we can change our culture. If we want to change our government and priorities and laws we have to change what we think and how we think and how we feel. We have to change our culture from the one it is today that puts fame and fortune above all else to one that makes love our new bottom line! I hope Marianne will create some story based content to demonstrate how we can all do this and have that love revolution she speaks of here.

[@quadroeffects9316]

Marianne is a motivator like no one I knew. If she doesn't become the president in 2020, the US doesn't deserve her.

[@Dannyspla]

Marianne Williamson changed my life! the Course in miracles teaches me that love prevails above all. thank you so much

[@truthlivingetc88]

The best speech I have heard for a long time.Bring out our force multiplier of real love!

[@manufacturedreality8706]

She is the candidate that I have been waiting for.

[@dawlatalexander6580]

My god, Marianne Williamson is so talented!

[@dessertray]

The future is here and it's ours to shape. It's so encouraging to know that others are full of concern re: the dangerously precarious state of our nation and our beautiful, delicate Planet Earth. We've desperately needed a leader. Thank you, so much, Marianne, for stepping up. How can we help?

[@Howard3S]

Thank God we have a true leader. Thank you President Trump. I now await the party of inclusion, tolerance and acceptance to label, dismiss, be intolerant, and unaccepting.

[@mooncho6032]

wow, I am sooo inspired beyond belief!

[@ninameiller7818]

Incredible to read comments from back as far as 5-6 years ago. She is so consistent & has been speaking the truth long before her candidacy! She is the only one who gives me hope for the future of our world!

[@KevinUnlimited24]

The thumps up button doesn't do it justice. We need a love button!!!

Marianne is a force to be reckoned with!

[@sallyburrell9570]

Thank you, Marianne! "Stand up and speak out" is our responsibility and our gift to each other.

[@99Babygangster]

She changed my life with her voice

[@LoveAndPeaceOccurs]

Thank You Marianne ... for such an important reminder and motivator. Mention of the 17,000. children starving everyday ... packs one potent punch. Love & Peace to All

[@lorenavelazquez1439]

Bravo 👏🏽 🙌🏼 at last a candidate with sublime intelligence and compassion!!! This is what the USA is starving for and would be the perfect inspiration for the rest of the world!!!!!!!! ❤ I am waiting to see you rise to the highest of your greatness!!! Politicians have had the sole access to mass media in communicating nonsense. We need to be fed with inspiration to humanize the inhumane! ❤

[@lorihoppa9970]

Thank you ! This really resonated with me. Spiritually waken and really focusing on Love My own Family is living in the false reality and I am the one left out of everything to them I have to come down to there level of thinking is built on lies false self. Been praying a lot for my family!

[@spiritwings9726]

One of the BEST talks I've ever heard ! 👍👍👍

[@jChristophre]

Thank You Marianne!!! "ALL systems breakdown means ALL systems response, all of us no matter what our age are needed NOW!!" ~M. Williamson | "Everything IS a miracle" ~A. Einstein ||| Thank You Marianne: Clearly the CHOICE IS LOVE! As Love is an intelligence that not only transcends "conditions that be' but Love has accurate and actual power to connect to ANY condition and TRANSFORM US NOW! Love reveals itself from within Us and extends outward to everything we perceive as our culture, technologies and conditions. .:. CHOOSE LOVE ~Cjm

[@janaabaskalova279]

Lol, Einstein's quote is taken out of context. He said it in reference to Arthur Liebert’s theory that uncertainty and in-determinism in quantum mechanics allows for the possibility of miracles, which was an argument Einstein couldn't accept, hence his answer. It's not an either/or for you (and Marianne) to pick and choose, then color to your liking.

[@GOGOLH]

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Marianne Williamson

[@LoveAndPeaceOccurs]

Thank You for placing this here ... I still remember how I cried when I first heard it ... So powerful and SO What We All need to hear and adhere to ... We need to remember in every moment of Our Life that No One is less or more than another ...not in value and worth and overall importance. Love & Peace to All

[@kreshia777]

Thank you Marianne for being a beacon for the people.

[@chrisosborn6815]

Truly inspirational words from the heart. I felt so inspired by her words and had tears running down my face with her closing sentence

[@christophersimmons6377]

Turn Love into a social and political force multiplier. Let us put forth a motion that requires that the word Love, should always be capitalized; for it is the most most powerful word that ever was, is and always will be. Eternal Love.

Thank you Marianne for giving me fire to my fuel today. I've been organically growing my integrative wellness and life coaching business for the past 5 years as I raise my 3 children to become the kind and loving teens they are today. And just this month am brainstorming with my small team of moms on how to reach more people in the world on what we believe is the secret to a better humanity. Then I saw this. We are totally aligned with everything you've said in this talk. You have given me the inspiration I need to branch out and reach more people. I'm right there with you and what you represent.

[@Alexandra-vm1ii]

Marianne, your coming on the catwalk Of politics is perfect timing. Now american people are ready to hear this message ! I wish you'll be the next US president and I'll pray for that to happen in 2020. Now is the time ! Maybe 2024 will be too late... Somewhere, it is written that America will have a female president ! God bless you and keep you.

[@Sheribeth55]

I hope all of you heard and understood her second message - to work together and speak out to stop the hate and violence - love alone will not do it.

[@itzik1000]

שנאה דבר מגונה הוא.

[@64Magick]

Acceptance, Forgive, Love and Appreciate.........is ALL you'll ever need.

[@Howard3S]

It all sounds wonderful, then you have someone like Hitler come to power in Germany. You can't love and talk you way out of that one. Chamberlain tried appeasement and look what developed. Some things are not resolvable with talk and loving thoughts. You cannot have one society totally focused on growing food intent on feeding everyone, while another only plans for war and takes the other society's food by force. You have to balance out real world realities and unfortunately forego some plow shears for swords.

[@patrickserrano5797]

I think Love can do it. If it doesn't then it's not love! It's something else

[@LoveAndPeaceOccurs]

@@64Magick ... To, Accept, Forgive, Love and Appreciate you must make those terms manifest through Action. Thank You for sharing ... I do appreciate your time and effort ... It is an act of Love. Love & Peace to All

[@summondadrummin2326]

To turn the ship around we need to Reinvent and Rewrite the Economic Coding which is incentivizing perverse and maladaptive behaviors. That Economics is a discipline studied apart from Ecology, Biology and Sociology etc ought to tell us something.-Its basic assumptions are completely inadequate to the task of seeing and feeling the world as a whole system. The monetary game needs to be unveiled and we need to Reinvent Economics.
