Why is Marianne Williamson trending? She is a two bit, grifter whose books are an atrocity. She apparently met Jesus at a party. Not an analogy, she says she shook his hand. I read her books so you don’t have to!

Ugh. I remember.
I read Marianne Williamson’s book on depression. It is horrific. Her premise is you are just super sad and maybe you need to lose everything to get to the place where you can accept God’s love. Also, she claims psychiatrists referred people to her.

You get your information from a tweet like that, do you? You didn't read the book - you read a lying tweet, and you're buying it. But you're the sophisticated professional here, right?

“Sickness is an illusion/does not actually exist.” “How many public personalities on antidepressants have to hang themselves before the FDA does something, Big Pharma cops to what it knows, and the average person stops falling for this?” Isn’t that you? google.ca/amp/s/time.com/564…

That line is misleading taken out of context. I teach metaphysical subjects: Buddha said the world is an illusion. "Time and space are illusions of consciousness." - Einstein. It doesn't mean you're not sick and you don't go to the doctor! I have never said anything like that.

That line certainly is misleading. I’m glad to hear that it sounds like you’re retracting it. I hope that you can appreciate just how stigmatizing it can be for people to hear sentiments that undermine the reality/severity of psychiatric diagnoses and the benefits of treatment.

I retract nothing. I hope YOU can understand how stigmatizing it is for people who write about serious spiritual subjects & have had serious careers to be called wacko nutcases by those who know nothing about their work & pre-judge it harshly.

I hope you are so ashamed that your profits come at the expense of human lives lost that you can’t sleep at night. You are worse than Trump.

You just said that my profits come at the expense of human lives lost? How dare you. I earned not one penny from sick or dying people, and hundreds of thousands of dollars that I did make went to their care. marianne2020.com/mariannes-w…

It’s great to discuss spiritual subjects. But to do so while irresponsibly/inaccurately pontificating about the nature and treatment of depression to a large audience without mental health expertise is to stigmatize/compromise patient care.

Good for YOU! I didn’t read your book but I imagine I see this bc I hate BULLIES and those who push drugs over Spiritual enlightenment and the power of positive thoughts...and Jesus!!!

I went and looked at the 1st quote and I get the meaning, but I think even really charitably you've been cavalier with your comments, only to walk them back later - particularly on antidepressants, but esp your comments vaccines (which btw are inconsistent w/ your spiritual arg)

Did you just compare real, actual ableism to people calling you names for peddling woo? "Sure, people with mental illness may harm themselves without access to support and care, but someone accused me of selling snake oil! Will my oppression ever end?!"

Do YOU understand how dangerous & harmful it is for someone who sits there w/ their blue check to talk about illness, physical & mental, like you do? I am an ill person who finds your bullshit DANGEROUS.

You write mythical fan fiction. Your sentences could be made in a deepity generator.

If you had any decency or understanding of the subject matter you would retract it.
