Marianne Williamson considers what Martin Luther King, Jr. would be challenging us, as spiritual beings, to do regarding our political system if he were alive today. A transcribed excerpt from this inspired lecture, recorded live as part of Williamson's L.A. Lecture Series, follows:
I think if Martin Luther King were alive today, he would not only be challenging and holding our feet to the fire about political establishments, but our religious establishments as well. When you read the biographies of Martin Luther King, they talk about what happened one Sunday in January of 1960 when by all accounts and according to all historians it seems that Martin Luther King went from being a preacher with a kind of political conversation as a harmonic to a movement leader who had a spiritual conversation as his harmonic. Let me read to you this quote from Martin Luther King in his book, Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story.
He said, “Nonviolence in the truest sense is not a strategy that one uses simply because it is expedient at the moment. Nonviolence is ultimately a way of life that men live by because of the sheer morality of its claim.
