From Library Journal
Lecturer and popular author Williamson (A Woman's Worth, Audio Reviews, LJ 6/1/93) bases her talks on A Course in Miracles but mixes in tenets from Christianity, Judaism, Eastern religions, and her own experience. These four tapes are based on lectures she has given to packed houses around the country. "Letting Go and Becoming" deals with getting rid of thought processes and ideas that weigh one down; "Spiritual Victory/The Power of Forgiveness" is about truly forgiving and getting in touch with one's true purpose for living; in "Balancing Masculine and Feminine," Williamson discusses achieving a psychological balance between male and female thought and behavior patterns both within the individual and between the sexes; and finally there is "Unlimited Power and Possibilities for Change." Here Williamson counsels releasing fear-based thinking and replacing it with thoughts and actions predicated on a loving relationship with oneself, one's fellows, and the world. Amid the New Age ramble, she delivers a dose of common sense (which of course isn't common at all) and surprisingly grounded observations on how to proceed in life. She's your grandmother stirring a kettle of chicken soup and dispensing hard-won wisdom and a New Age guru speaking of cosmic concerns, rolled into one. Williamson is thought-provoking and funny, even if you don't buy into the total vision. This program will be popular with self-help devotees.ANancy Paul, Brandon P.L., WI

From AudioFile
With an exquisite understanding of the various ways we resist God, the author gives a series of talks on how our restless egos trip us up as we try to order our lives, especially in the interpersonal and romantic realms. Like most of her live recordings, the monologues are spontaneous and energetic. Yet they stay connected to the central lesson of reconciling our free will with God's love and direction. "We're addicted to noise," Williamson believes, and that's the reason that meditating is so hard for people. Yet it's an essential practice for healing and discerning God's will. A strong and memorable listening experience by one of our most provocative spiritual teachers. T.W. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Customer Reviews

Thought Provoking
My first thoughts of this book were, I won't be listening to this one more than once. Then as I listened further and began to try to really get what she was saying. Most of it was about getting rid of attachments I had a hard time with this one at first but now I realize she was saying, get rid of the physical and attach yourself to your Spirituality and that is the most important thing in our growth. When you go to work, you don't do it for money you go to work to grow and be what God needs you to be and create. In fact everything in our life should be dedicated to spreading joy from the depths of our soul. She talks alot about women and our the empowerment that we have and how to use that power.
The bottom line is that you rule your life with the constant aide of the universe. It is up to you what you do with the aide. I listened to it three times to make sure I got it.

Bad CD quality
I love Marianne Williamson but this product should have never hit the shelves. The sound quality is very poor and I can barely hear most of it on a couple of the CD's. I am disappointed.

Letting Go and Becoming
I keep this in my car and listen to it over and over,on long drives. Never boring and it is always an inspiration.. I end up feeling better off for having listened to it.
