I saw myself referred to in a few articles yesterday as a “New Age” author, and of course I cringed. I know how the label is used to marginalize and minimize, as though it means someone… instagram.com/p/BmDh2rhlp0o/…

Inspirational and transformative you are.

When I’m labeled in that way, I respond, “I subscribe to a belief system shared by many ancient civilizations, not really new at all. Perhaps what you mean is that my beliefs are not those of modern, western Christianity.” It usually results in a nice dialogue. ❤️

MW is a national treasure for US, & a light for the world. I'm proud & blessed to share this time w you. Lost track over th yrs of how many copies of A Return to Love (et al) I've given - imho divinely inspired. Now I just say: "Read everything MW, & follow her, I do." 💙XX🕊

Bought ur bk Return to Love in mid-90s. B&N had it in "New Age" section, then. Felt like U re: label. 4 me it mnt not convnt'l / trad'l. I was disillusioned w/convnt'l religion; not relatable to daily life. Ur bk was! Invaluable 2 me&kids then. Still is! ❤️

Yesss!!!! When I explain things like energy, frequency & vibration to ppl & correlate it to God, ppl give me that, is this 'new age'?look. I'm embracing those labels, because I understand the ignorance is fed to ppl. You are so important, keep fighting!! #OneLove

It’s really Leading Edge thinking that we’re talking about. And it’s being obfuscated and hidden by people afraid of change and losing power. “New Age” was a glimpse into the possibilities. It wasn’t irrelevant people weren’t ready.

You're one of the most brilliant, grounded, and fearless "guru" of this time combining physical and spirituality. Thank you @marwilliamson ♡♡♡ I know you're trying to promote heaven on earth.

“New age” isn’t anything to cringe about - they are just letters - you add the meaning to them - you / message are incredible - yeah - so happy it is “new” or anything!

If you had yo create a label, what would it modern? I know what you mean, new age sounds like it is not real....almost made up. They call my healing work “ wooo wooo”.
