Our economic system is basically a scam, a markets-rule-no-matter-who-or-what-gets-hurt organizing principle guaranteed to make a few rich & the majority unable to get there. It’s a corporate aristocracy that views most people as serfs & finds democracy inconvenient. VOTE IT OUT

"Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure" - so this doesn't apply to the majority? I am a bit confused, bcoz I knew you Marianne for motivation, self-improvement etc, but your political tweets contradict to what you teach. So how is it?

Spirituality isn’t denying a problem, pouring pink paint over it.That’s not transcendence, it’s denial. ACIM says you can’t bring the light to the darkness, you must bring the darkness to the light. Seekers should be the biggest grown ups in the room, not children unable to see.

Thank you for replying. No pink paint. However, there are many self made millionaires who started from very low and created their own wealth. Anyone can become such an entrepreneur, with the right attitude, no?

The first thing you said is true & to be celebrated! But the second thing not. Millions of American children go to schools that don’t even have functioning toilets, much less basic school supplies. It’s unreasonable to suggest all they need is a better attitude and to work harder

To be a successful entrepreneur is one thing, and possibly a great thing, but vampirism will not make anyone great. And you don't have to wallow in vampire capitalism to be successful.

You see, THIS is exactly what I don't get: you mean that all the "You can do everything", LOA, empowerment, motivation etc doesn't work for everyone, people are influenced and determined by their circumstances and the system is to blame, their lives are in the hands of others?

I disagree. When I think of my grandfather coming here to America on a boat from Italy, with nothing in his pocket but a few cents, entering this country legally, and starting a successful business from basically nothing, I believe anything is possible.
