Marianne Williamson joins us to discuss her newest book, Tears to Triumph: The Spiritual Journey from Suffering to Enlightenment , to argue that our desire to avoid pain is detrimental to our lives, disconnecting us from our deepest emotions, preventing true healing and spiritual transcendence.
Our culture, she says, encourages us to numb, medicate or divert attention from our pain—anything to avoid facing it. But in refusing to acknowledge our suffering, we prolong it and ultimately limit our growth and our opportunity for enlightenment. Frozen by denial, we are left standing in the breach. Whole industries profit from this immobility, and while they grow rich, we become spiritually poorer. True healing and transcendence can only come when we face our pain and wrestle with what it has to teach us, to come to a deeper awareness of our feelings, our lives, and our true selves.
Marianne Williamson, an internationally acclaimed lecturer and massively best-selling writer, is the author of such classics as A Return to Love, Everyday Grace and, most recently, Tears to Triumph. Williamson also founded Project Angel Food, a meals-on-wheels program that serves over 1000 homebound people in the Los Angeles area daily, and co-founded the Global Renaissance Alliance (GRA), a worldwide network of peace activists. www.marianne.com See her at the Open Center in NYC on July 12th.
