and life you love, and this is not Q&A Tuesday. It's a very special day. Why? Because I am

here with one of my favorite authors of all time, a woman who has made such a huge impact

on my life, and I'll tell you about that in a moment. But first, I want to read you her

Marianne Williamson is an internationally acclaimed spiritual author and lecturer. Six

of her ten published books have been New York Times bestsellers, four of these have been

#1 New York Times best sellers. Her first book, A Return to Love, is considered a must

read of the new spirituality and in 2006, a Newsweek magazine poll named her one of

the 50 most influential baby boomers. Her newest book is called The Law of Divine Compensation

on Work, Money and Miracles. Marianne, thank you so much for having us in your home today.

I have to tell you this before we get into it. I want to tell all you guys. When I was

in my early 20s, I was having such a hard time. I was just starting out as a life coach

and I was questioning everything and I was having a hard time with my parents, with my

vocation and I was really in a tough space. I remember being in Union Square in the Barnes

and Noble and looking around for a book and your book A Return to Love just jumped off

the shelf at me and I picked it up and I started reading it, and I cried right there at Barnes

and Nobles because your words and what you put down in your work spoke so deeply to where

I was in my life and you gave me a pathway to get back to what I felt like was really

me and to do what I really wanted and to reconnect with my parents in a way that I've never even

imagined possible. I just wanted to thank you publically.

Thank you. You know so much of that book is based on the agony that I felt much like the

one you just described when I was in my 20s, and so much of that was spent in New York

City and I found A Course of Miracles in New York City. I was you wandering through Barnes

Thank you. It was just awesome. First thing I want to ask, we're talking about your new

amazing book, The Law of Divine Compensation, which by the way, if you do not have this

book, you need to get your hands on this book now. Get five copies, ten copies, and give

it to your friend and as we go through this interview, you're gonna hear why. You've written

so many books over the course of your career which has been amazing, and this one being

about work, money and miracles, when you first started as a writer and a teacher, did you

struggle to make ends meet and tell us just a little bit about that part of the journey

I'm of the generation that grew up in the late 60s and the 70s and everything wasn't

so financialized the way it is now. I grew out of a hippie ethic, I needed to work, I

needed to pay the bills, but I didn't have this ambition that is so rampant now. When

I started lecturing on a course in miracles, there was no reason to think that I would

be able to make a living doing that because this career niche did not exist then. You

could be a clergy and I didn't see myself being clergy or you could be like a professor

of comparative religion in a university somewhere and I didn't see that for myself either. So

when I first knew about Judy Scotch going around the country talking about a course

in miracles, I thought that was just the most amazing thing, but there was no conceptualization

of that as something that you would do for a living. When I started lecturing on a course

in miracles, I remember I was working as a temporary secretary and I was working at a

building in Santa Monica here in LA that at that time was called the World Savings Building.

I'd been doing this temporary secretarial job and I was standing at the elevator bank

there and it was as though I heard a voice in my head say "this will be your last secretarial

job." It was really one of those things of like "who said that?" and at that time, I

had started lecturing on A Course in Miracles at a place called the Philosophical Research

Society. I didn't think I would pay my bills doing that and yet more and more people came

and I don't remember the specific day, but in fact it happened that enough people were

coming to my lectures with their $3 or $5 or $7 donation that I could live on that.

For me, that was so amazing. I was bringing in money that others would be strategizing

how to make more that I just thought was the coolest thing in the world. Then when my first

book came out and it was very successful mainly because of Oprah Winfrey, that was just such

a delight and a miracle but nothing I would've ever even conceived of.

Wow, so beautiful. What exactly is the law of divine compensation?

The law of divine compensation is just a phrase I came up with to describe a particular action

of how the universe operates. The universe is both self organizing and self correcting.

What do I mean by that? An embryo becomes a baby and a bud turns into a blossom and

an acorn turns into an oak tree. Clearly there is an invisible hand of sorts. You have a

sperm and you have an egg and then the next thing you know, cells are dividing and the

little brain is formed and toes and spleen and heart and lungs; it's so extraordinary.

From a metaphysical perspective, that amazing way that the universe supports life in moving

forward all the time is not just in physical nature, but in all aspects of things. Just

as the little embryo is programmed to become the baby, you and I are programmed to have

the best relationship possible. You were programmed to have the best career possible. There is

a programming by which this television show would be its best. The difference between

you and me and the acorn is that we can say "no."

We can think thoughts and behave in ways that make us deviate from that otherwise perfect

self organizing pattern. Usually when we think of making things happen in our lives, we think

like you're looking at a computer and you bring up a blank document and then you have

to figure out what to write on it. That's one way of looking at life. If you want to

make anything happen, you have to bring up that blank document and figure out what to

do. Another way of looking at life is to think of an undeletable file that is always in your

computer. You might think of it as God's will. You might think of it as divine intelligence.

By whatever name you call it, that same force that makes the embryo turn into the baby.

The embryo didn't have to figure out how to become a baby. When you think of life that

way that I don't have to pull up a blank document and figure things out so much as I have to

bring down to the screen, this undeletable file always there but usually not brought

down to the screen because it's not the button I push or the file I select, by which every

thought and every action not only on my part, but on everyone else's part, including this

divine bio-computer of the universe that will make sure that everybody meets who we're supposed

to meet and everything happens that's supposed to happen, I can have that. Let's say I pick

up a file and the file is God's will document my career. File God's will, natural intelligence,

divine hand, whatever; document, career, document, money, and that is a programming in our minds.

This is no more true about money and career than it is about anything else. The quote

I have at the beginning of the book is from Einstein when he said:

"The most important decision we ever make is whether we think we live in a friendly

If you believe you live in a friendly universe, then you believe that you are supported just

the way the embryo is supported in becoming the baby. The acorn is supported in becoming

an oak tree. You were supported by a universal plan of sorts, a divine architecture. That

architecture for the oak tree is within the acorn and there is an architecture within

your consciousness by which Marie becomes the highest creative possibility for Marie

this lifetime. Every aspect of the universe is already at work making sure every aspect

of your life unfolds according to that same divine perfection, but because we are treated

to think according to a mindset that rules the human race that is based on fear rather
