The Power, the Glory, the Reaction : THE REAL THING . . .
Call me naive, but I never realized the extent to which the press can distort the truth.
Williamson is most certainly not New Age. Whether New Age thinking is positive or negative is not the point. Neither Williamson nor “A Course in Miracles” advocates using crystals, Tarot readings, channeling, visualizing material wealth or other such ideas.
The implication that “Course” lectures are aimed at the rich and famous is preposterous. Williamson’s lectures are full of people who work as insurance agents, plumbers and even journalists.
I am not a dazed cult follower who sees her as goddess incarnate. Instead I see an excellent inspirational lecturer-teacher.
Williamson does believe in the power of God and of miracles in all areas of her life and work. And it’s a little frightening that such beliefs are considered the New Age craze of the moment.
