Marianne Williamson on Body Vs Spirit [Abridged, Audiobook] [Audio Cassette]

Marianne Williamson (Author, Reader)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 24, 1996

"Food represents the digestion of the world into one's self."

In Food...Feeding Spirit & Body, Williamson addresses the spiritual dimensions of eating disorders, drawing on the wisdom of A Course in Miracles. We fail to control eating disorders and other compulsive behavior, according to Williamson, not because we lack willpower but because we unconsciously turn that power against ourselves. By shifting our focus from error to solution, we free ourselves of self-abuse.

In Holy Love and the Body, Williamson stresses the importance of escaping society's perception of personal identity. As our spiritual awareness increases, we recognize our oneness with others. We can then cleanse our minds and spirits of obstructions and unhealthy patterns of thought that prevent us from experiencing the latent inner peace that has always been within our reach.

Marianne Williamson is one of the foremost interpreters and guides to A Course in Miracles. She is the author of the bestselling A Return to Love, A Woman's Worth, and Illuminata.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, June 8, 2000

This review is from: Marianne Williamson on Body Vs Spirit (Audio Cassette)

Like all of Marianne's lectures, this one is good and worth purchasing, however it's not one of her best. I think it ranks in the lower 30% of her tapes. As far as discussing the issue of the food/mind connection, this tape touches on it somewhat but very lightly, so if you're looking for something that will address that issue, this one is not the best one.

This review is from: Marianne Williamson on Body Vs Spirit (Audio Cassette)

Marrianne Williamson's work is both real and honest. Rather than couch things in a concepts that are alien or extremely religious, she talks to you about the realities of existing. Of how things will not always be easy, about how you will lose your way, and honestly how to see people clearly. Growth is messy, it's not neat, maturity is not easy, nor is spirtiuality delicate work, but with assistance from a tape like this you can see yourself clearly and how to bridge yourself from concept to human to spiritual being.
