Marianne Williamson posted this video before the current coup in the US--it was posted five days ago. However, she offers coherent and useful words of hope and wisdom that apply now, along with a new insight on what effective resistance actually is.

I think what M.W. is doing is very important.

I also get the value of her limiting herself in this video.

However, I must say that Trump dismantling the U.S. government... is not his goal.

His goal is the destruction of the world, if he doesn't get his way.

"In his groundbreaking new book Bottom Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution, Rob Kall invites and eases us into in a much-needed meta-level shift -- a truly basic paradigmatic shift from top-down to bottom-up. He capably and imaginatively explores the differences between these ways of approaching life, clearly demonstrating that bottom-up allows us to flourish. His vision and his book are enriched by telling references to interviews which he has engaged in over the years with bottom-up researchers, theorists, activists, and dreamers in a variety of areas. Think about Rob's interviews. Read this revolutionary book. And take one step further into the bottom-up universe yourself. You will not regret it."
