According to Marianne Willamson, we’re all pregnant with possibility, especially at Christmas. I heard Marianne speak yesterday at Unity & ’twas reason this season to be jolly indeed! More than a simple sermon, Marianne led a call to action, challenging each of us to give birth to the potential gestating inside.
She laid out a metaphysical metaphor, with Mary standing for the mothering, creative part of each person. Doing so, Marianne implored us not to abort the process of giving life to our greatness, as is often the fearful human way. She went on to say that the “Angels heard on high” represent our own inner voice, foretelling of an incredible idea incubating inside. The baby Jesus is a symbol for that potential brought fully into form. Fragile at first, our creation requires time & attention to grow so we have Joseph, standing steady nearby, to play the practical, masculine part.
Marianne remarked that God will use me & he’ll use you for something extraordinary if we listen & let him. So often we create our own glass ceiling with a bunch of buts. Adding, “the data collection is done, people,” Marianne incited us all to stop stalling & do it now. She reminded us that we’re equipped enough already (with technology & money) & cautioned that we cannot afford to say the next generation will take care of saving our endangered Earth.
Marianne ended by encouraging us to motivate each other to start shining in the now. I know that I gotta do it my way, as no one else possibly can, & so do you. So, pregnant party-people, are you ready to pop out your potential this Christmas? If so, please join me in saying, in the words of the lovely & talented Ms. Williamson, “This planet ain’t seen nothing yet!”
