C. Biscuit Letter for Marianne Williamson

Dear Ms. Marianne Williamson,

First and foremost, thank you for being a peaceful leader in times of chaos and confusion, your words are profound and carry a true message for all human beings. My attention was initially directed to your Miracle Matrix website via a man who called himself, John F., and he corrected me for a quote from your book, A Return to Love. Unfortunately, I misquoted your influential passages and cited them to Nelson Mandela instead. This blunder has since been corrected, but falls tangential to my primary reason for contacting you.

After following up with the Mandela speech, I continued to search your website, following through with a few suggestions and getting to know a little bit more about The Peace Alliance of which you are a member (president?). Wow. Your “conscious citizenship” journal entries help me to see that an influential and clear perspective is present in our legislative system, again, thank you for your continued efforts. As a human being, you’ve really focused your attention through all the right places, harnessing the power of communication through the internet and governmental actions. With that said, I pursue similar goals both through conscious living and purposeful and productive habits, yet my communal focus lies in the realm of medicine and health, searching for a truly integrative health care system.

In short, my chosen purpose for this lifetime: increase the awareness for a quality-based, effective, and benevolent health care system, as well as finding sustainable support systems for health care practitioners starting with graduate school and lasting to the end of their professional career. Currently, neither population base is adequately supported by the local communities or government on a wide scale. The “Universal Health Plan” touted by our politicians only offer part of the solution; a holistic way of approaching health care is in order, and is in fact underway at two internet locations: The Helfgottblog and The Archimedes Movement. Many community-based organizations have also touched my heart, one such compassionate attempt to reach Oprah Winfrey moves me to this day: the Operation Oprah Campaign implemented by the National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM) and the Helfgott Research Institute. It just goes to show that anyone can create change. The process of creating working interrelationships for medical communities remains optimistic and creative, pulling everyone together for a truly benevolent cause.

Your Ask for a Miracle page caught my attention, and I figured that it wouldn’t hurt to try. So here goes: the miracle that I seek is not for me, rather it’s for those out there that suffer needlessly, those that cannot afford health care, and those that are denied health rights based upon superficial qualities like geographic location, socio-economic status, or the color of their skin. Health is a basic human right, and I wish for everyone to have equal opportunity to experience and understand optimum health and happiness. I see unnecessary suffering on the streets of Portland on a daily basis, and my heart swells with compassion.

Perhaps you could inspire your audience to seek quality in their health care options, voice health concerns, ask for viable health solutions that seek the root cause for dis-ease, and encourage others to work locally in order to educate our populace about basic health through community organizations and schools. If more people become aware of what is possible, simply asking for balance in all aspects of life, the needless suffering may cease to exist; and we can all begin to work together as a global collective, supporting one another as we each experience the preciousness of life.
my miracle request. It’s rather lofty, but the way I figure it, the internet is rather vast, filled with infinite potential… abundance abounds for those that dare to ask the difficult questions.
