I really admire how Russell sat back and allowed her to fully develop her ideas & statements and gave her that platform to speak uninterrupted. He very easily could have talked over her relentlessly but he chose not to and it's a phenomenal interview because of it.
Eric Duffert
One cannot have reached his level of Wisdom without having a well-developed ability to LISTEN and OBSERVE. It was phenomenal to watch him wield the Power of Listening in this clip! I'm going to save it as an example in my inchoate teachings in the art, power, and skill of listening. Well done Russell!
And well done Eric!--the construction and depth of your comment identified the unknown zeitgeist warming my cockles as I watched--a refreshing (new) experience of seeing a conversation BALANCED in the listening/talking. I'm saving your comment as well!
Yeah thank god theres one man who doesn't interrupt everyone
Listen, study, meditate
I have often seen him interrupt and take over. He is learning and growing....
you mean like Joe Rogan? hehe
Please have her on again to talk about her run for the Presidency of the USA. She is bringing so much to the conversation and needs all the press she can get!!!!
I appreciate that LOVE is being added to the political discussion but wish that more people understood that LOVE and compassion without wisdom is usually misguided.
I love this lady. Ever since learning of her beautiful quotation about shining your light, and painting it on the walls of my room over 20 years ago, I have been inspired by her way of being to be the best version of myself. Thank you for speaking with her, Russell, and sharing her with us.
This is an extraordinary interview. I think even Russell Brand himself was subdued (somewhat) by Ms. Williamson's passionate and perhaps unexpected responses to his questions.
I just wish this interview was longer. Jordan Peterson got so much more time. Marianne is a true visionary. Please give us more of her. Her wisdom is transforming.
Gwen Bardon you can hear the whole interview on his podcast 👍
She will be on the Democrat debate stage this year.
I love what she says about there being an Art to despair! It’s so true, rather than get taken over by your emotions. Realising that I am not my emotions yet come back to them each time and clear the space. Honouring and even listening to what the internal stories are, is healing and therapeutic as once you hear what’s being said you realise you are not what you think you are and can let them go, without being attached.
Progress & Momentum is everything and not stopping!
"Let me not squander the hour of my pain..." -Rilke
As an Atheist and secularist, Marianne Williamson's spiritualism does not resonate with me, however her positivity and moral stance moves me, and I believe she would be the greatest at reaching out to the Religious Right and Evangelicals in showing them the "light" on progressive policies that will benefit them.
-medicare for all as a human right
-money out of politics - remove the dark money and corruption in government
-criminal justice and law enforcement reform.
As an atheist why do you care about giving everyone free healthcare?? We are just random particles floating around the universe, why should healthcare be a right??? Who cares if we all die randomly???
“Let me not squander the hour of my pain” love that
All my life, I was ridiculed for expressing my deep feelings. A passionate person was simply not allowed. After most of my life was spent in various medicine induced apathy sprinkled with terrible depression, I have weaned off all psycotropic meds & lo & behold, learned to accept my feelings. My biggest current sadness is how much time was lost trying to be "acceptable" to others. I'll use the time left to communicate my love to my family & make up for the time we lost. Dr's & psychiatrists have a vested interest in keeping you from dealing with life, see me again next week!
I discovered Marianne Williamson and the Course in Miracles, 23 years ago when my life fell apart. I saw her on Larry King talking about Miracles. And then I started reading the Course. I believe it saved my life...... and helped me create a positive vision for my life and deal with the pain with love and forgiveness.
If she was on the Larry King show, she is not the person she says she is 😁
damn she's good!... the content of her words articulates everything so precisely!... i used to go see her speak every monday at the saban theatre in LA... she's still there sometimes, i believe... thanks russell!... you're amazingly conscious woke soul!
I love how incredibly honest Russell Brand is. He's quick to offer his personal thoughts as something helpful to consider, even if they make him vulnerable in revealing his weaknesses.
So relevant to me, my awakening came after 2 years of depression, I woke up inside someone else's body and saw exactly where my life was leading.
I call it a spiritual slap to my face to wake me up.
Needless to say that I told others, it just seemed the right thing to do and became a spiritual healer to help others.
Thanks for this upload Russell and thanks for the interview Marianne :)
Yes! Marianne Williamson rocks!
I'd love to see you interview her on running for president
I appreciate Marianne's practice for helping depression .Bubble baths were always a favorite of mine for the blues too but we shouldn't ignore that there are biochemical causes for depression needing to be addressed and treated..In Joan Larson's book,HEALING DEPRESSION NATURALLY, she describes several different types of depression and their natural treatments ,using vitamins,minerals and amino acids and other natural supplements, with absolutely no use of pharmaceutical Drugs,whom she also believes are overprescribed and can be damaging.Also,it is true that 90% of seratonin(the feel good neurotransmitter in our brains) is produced in the GUT,meaning that a compromised intestinal microbiome is closely related to depression.Leaky gut,candida,low stomach acid ,gluten allergy,GMO foods,processed foods,Inflammatory foods,low intestinal flora,allergies,sibo, demineralized food,ect.ect ect..., all compromise the guts ability to digest and absorb nutrients and produce adequate amounts of seratonin.Heal your gut,heal your depression .
Great comment. I must learn more on this.
how do I heal my gut? what do I need to do?
I've read a course in love during my first months in NA which has had a profound effect on me and my beliefs on the concept of love and what love really means on an individual as well as a collective level. It's comforting to hear that many out there are waking up and taking responsibility for themselves and the world around them. Thank you for the beautiful work you're doing!
I love Russell!
Russel Brand had an enormous influence on me when he was interviewed by Rolling Stone Magazine, maybe ten years ago. He spoke of being an anti consumerist. I adopted that immediately and it works well for me. I have and have read two of your books Marianne.
Two of my most favorite people in such a needed conversation is heavenly! Please do it again! Thanks to both of you for your willingness to share your spiritual quest. I too, am presently in a study group learning about the "Course of Miracles". I began it after I read Marianne's book, "Return to Love". It opened up a new & hopeful world to me. I went on to read Russell's books about his journey from drug dependency to freedom, they too were very inspiring. My love & gratitude to both of you.
Russell please give us the full interview. You two are my fave souls in the world. To have you both talking together is a blessing. Just keep downloading Grace!
OMG, Rusty - you answered my prayer/suggestion of YOU and MARIANNE having a sesh! 💖
You are so wonderful; I Love you.
This lady is going to be on the Democrat debate stage this year....i can't wait.
Have her on again, Russell now that she is running for POTUS. 💖 You get her.
Thank you for the sweet message, Kelly. Jenny forwarded your fb post...what a surprise! Hope you are still learning and receiving all the gifts of experiencing life. Love you, Ami.
Her method of dealing with depression and showing up is the natural and insightful truth in experience with it. She is this presence and awareness that is needed everywhere, including President. She embodies wisdom and love is her commitment. Beautiful Marianne and Russell, that was a significant pathway to understanding and healing.
I’m loving these bite size under the skin videos! All the topics resonate with me deeply and I’m glad to find something more meaty than the shallows I’ve been wading in on UA-cam. Thanks Russell!
Love love love her - I do want to add though, that I don't think that it's always possible in the midst of severe depression to "show up for other people". When it's at it's worst you can't show up for yourself let alone anyone else. You can't just put it aside. That's sadness, not depression. There is definitely a time when you need to honour yourself and say, "I know others need me and I'm very sorry but I have to put myself first right now".
Thank you so very much for this message. It was exactly what I needed to hear this morning.
Russell, I listened to this interview on your website in its entirety. This is probably the best interview I have heard. Your questions were intelligent and thoughtful, and brought out a different side of Marianne I hadn't heard before. Brilliant!
I only recently (because of her candidancy) have heard of her she is amazing I'm just soaking it all in
I love these shot videos. Thank you Russell!
Marianne Williamson for President - I'm Reality and I approve of this message.
Two years later and I'm even more convinced
My favorite people!
SAME
What she said about real spirituality recognizing pain reminds me of what my therapist said to me about why I decided to get help and get better "Looking at the pain became lesser than living with it (and keeping it buried)". And I find that concept to be profoundly brilliant. Its refreshing seeing someone else recognize that.
Wow! An art to navigating despair . Whole new out look on my pain
Two great loving minds riding in tandem.
Very good. Helpful advice for someone in this situation. I know this for myself but struggle with keeping myself out of that place. She is exactly right.
an art to navigating depression
let me not squander the hour of my pain
and keep doing your daily prayers
also don’t isolate
excellent advice
you are awesome marianne !!!
Anderson Cooper's interview pointed out that she's speaking from Scientology which we all know is very dangerous.
The pain of death can kill you.
You can literally die from a broken heart. Some need to be medicated for short of time.
I do agree that Americans don't let people mourn.
Other countries mourn for at least a year.
I just lost my daughter a week ago.
The pain is excruciating.
I know nothing of Scientology and make my own deductions. If Anderson Cooper did refer to it as such im not sure he understands her work. I simply read her book return to love and it changed my perception and my life. The world needs more if that.
Woah. Her opening remarks strike me as being very deep. Spooky almost.
Daniel Bigham “there is no coming to god except by the person in front of you“ - very powerful.
This lady talks sense!!!Thank you so much for your precious thoughts!!!🌹🌹🌹
Brilliant snippet. And the podcast is one of the best conversations with Ms.Williamson I've listened to.
"Let me not squander the hour of my pain". Exactly. Thank you Marianne.
I Love this! So many golden nuggets. “Let me not squander the moments of my pain!”
I loved this nice tidbit from the topic! Wonderful insight. “Let me not squander the hour of my pain.”
I love that quote of hers near the end, what a beautiful line... "There is an art to navigating despair, an art to navigating depression." Doesn't that fill you with hope, even in that terrible darkness, that there can be something beautiful of anything and everything? There is some graffiti I've seen on a wall I pass often that says, "Every stumbled step can become a pirouette." I love concepts like this. It can be so easy in today's world to fight evil with good, but I find it so much more powerful to continue finding the good within the bad and point it out and let the evil do its transforming on its own. Very beautiful.
I also really loved Russell at 3:50 I hate to pick apart someone's every move but he makes a drastic movement, and I think its him dealing with that very heavy thought and reaching out for whatever is in his coffee cup, probably coffee, maybe even tea, but still I recognize so deeply that impulse to search for the answer outside of yourself like that, and I absolutely adored watching him yank his hand away and then look up at the camera as if to say, "Did you see that?" What a beautiful slice of reality thats been cut out and given to us. Thank you Russell Brand and Marianne Williamson!
Yes, the voice of sanity!
Very refreshing!
Wow, I love her. And love the music at episode's end!! Who made this may I ask?
"If we accept suffering
As the seeds of awakening
We grow - we ripen
We feast on the harvest of Love's desire
Love deepens"
This is a quote from my song - I Found My Love Inside
I like that
Great thoughtfull calmness in the interview, well done Russell!
Thank you, Russell. I really love the way you share so many different takes on the world and spiritual/religious beliefs
I love both of them. It strange because I was thinking about them earlier today on how they are so much alike in their teaching and in their writing and thinking
Let me not squander the hour of my pain....love that. 💖
☺me too
I needed fhis concept of managing my despair. Thank you RB thank you MW. Namaste
i think theres need to differentiate between endogen and exogen depression. she mentions people being depressed due to external circumstances and i do definitly think she has a point behind pharmaceuticals not being the optimal way to overcome such hopefully temporary despair, however endogen depression is not triggered by the romans crucifying you or your gf breaking up with you. also, there is a timespan of mourning in the dsm to differentiate it from depression.
The exact same take I had but articulated better than I could have done. Thank you.
Nicely said. It's important to mention that endogen depression is likely treatable with psychedelics like psilocybin, as the FDA has just fast-tracked major research on this. The level of "spiritual" experience on the psychedelic seems to be the curative factor in the process. I have a feeling that consistent spiritual practices in general can target this, as well.
Thank you for your comment Byron, it really helped me calm down knowing someone else recognized this. What she said about depression really hurt. My family has a history of severe clinical depression and bipolar disorder. My "clinical" depression is genetic. According to her my experience as well as my family's is not real. Also, I don't understand how she disregards postpartum depression; she is a woman. It is more often than not hormonal and can be artificially replicated in animal models. Endogen depression is real and she has no idea what she is talking about. Rant complete.
Good to see a psychological comment because as far as I can see, everything that's happening is psychologically based.
Thank you Byron, you have hit the nail on the head of what bothered me about what she said.
Love you Russell, looking forward to being interviewed by you. ☺
Love you Russell! I can listen to you for hours!
I feel like a lot of people who “overcome” depression don’t really do it they just cope well with it
Wish I was there for the whole interview...what a pair!!
We are all ONE .
Just like the story of The Egg, I love it. If you folks haven't seen this, give it a read, it's fantastic.
Absolutely. I C U

i don't need this crap - do you even know what you cause with the things you consume? probably not

as usual Russell, you challenge me and make me peep out from my comfort zone. Thanks for the videos
This video came at the right time for me as I was processing something difficult , thanks to you tube, russell and marianne :)
I love Marianne and have learned so much from her teachings over the past 30 years.
From the inside out...
Love.
This is the real revolution in real time.
Thankyou for sharing the pearls.
Peace...
Imagine if we had a mental healthcare system that actually provided the level of support needed so that if a person really needed anti-depressant they'd get them. And the support and follow-up needed to make sure the black box suicide warning wasn't rearing up? THAT is what she's proposing.
Loved to hear and learn about what Marianne had to share. Thx.
this is incredibly beautiful
Love this! To be sad and in pain is OKAY as long as you have help and know you will get through these times. I think there’s a particular beauty in sadness in which you can transcend further than you have before the depression in spirituality relationships and your own strength. Love you Russell ❤️💕❤️
Love these two souls
When she described depression, she seemed not to be talking about depression at all, but the hardships we all go through in life. Depression is different for me. It goes beyond mourning a loved one or financial suffering. Not sure how I feel about this talk, but I do agree that depression can be a gateway to enlightenment.
thank you to both russell and marianne for sharing their love
Hi Russell, interesting conversation for me... revisiting the COM I explored some 20 years ago. As a seeker, I was excited to find the Vedanta philosophy (Guru, Vedas, Upanishads) which rings true for me... that our true self is God, the supreme truth. Tapping into this lovely mindset reminded me of a way of being which has brought a certain comfort and joy, despite the discomfort I still experience maneuvering the material world. xo
Thanks Russell for the topic st hand . I have suffered more than my fare share in life and when one sees me they would not notice . Through suffering and being alone l have transmuted all my thoughts and feelings into a state of a fearless being .
One aspect of qi gong that stuck to me is prostate tensing that creates an inner orgasm . I’m sure you know what lm talking about.
Here is the magic . Always, and l mean ALWAYS when you sense fear of any aspect , physical, mental or emotional , show gratitude with the inner orgasm .
I kid you not it works always .
We are led to beLIEve that we should fight our inner demons . Be grateful for the darkness for all is within , right ?
I love you both. Honestly. Where can I find the full version of this?
This was great! I was very much looking for this very answer about the spiritual take on depression. I can plainly see why I've been depressed. Not connecting enough
My depression had me maturing and made me a better human being. I'm grateful for that "season" of my life and wouldn't have rather skipped it at all.
Enjoyed the video, would have liked to seen more!
I Love A Course In Miracles, it's a daily practice which helps keep you centered on what matters most, awesome book!
Marianne is one of the true voices of spirituality for me because she is able to acknowledge both the human experience and the spiritual experience. She acknowledges pain and suffering while also aiming to look beyond it .
One of my dinner guests was just quoting Marianne Williamson last night.
wish i was a dinner guest
Your dinner guest sounds like somebody I would love to have dinner with!
What was this channel five/four.....Come Dine With You
Her poems, especially “who are you not to be...” is often heard in a yoga class to remind people of their Light and Love. 💚
Marianne is always a joy to watch and listen to.
The more I meditate, the more I begin to see other faces as my own
The more I meditate, the more I think the washing up needs doing.
Thank you for this Russell and Marrianne! I’m on my way back and I get it
Loved the Course in Miracles, life saver...love both of u people on the screen, beauties💕🙏🏻🍉🇨🇦
I love how you are you! Thank you!
wow I love this
I don’t believe in anything and I’m cool with that. I’ve been financially poor my whole life and have been sick and lived with chronic pain for half of my life. I read “Steal This Book” when I was a teenager and lived in Cuba for a short time during its Special Period and learned how to have a beautiful life despite my problems that have been created by a corrupt society.
I had that Abbie Hoffman book (I paid for it, I think). I had a long talk with him at the St. Marks Bookstore in the East Village. The real deal. Persecuted by the government. He lived it. Member of the Chicago 7.
'The Power' was a good read for me. Helped me dodge homelessness.
Marianne will never need to have her speeches written for her. She is so natural, profoundly deep, fresh and extremely intelligent.
I saw Marianne in a Cafe in my city a few weeks ago, not purposely either I was sitting drinking a coffee at the bar facing the wall with my music plugged in..the place was empty when I walked in and I turned around shocked the place was packed and was introduced to Marianne she blew my mind with the amazing things she said, so happy I got to meet her! Even got a pic 😊😊😊 She needs 60,000 sponsors to be able to run in candidacy and she is at around 30,000 and needs them by April idk what day. She said even if it's just a 1 dollar donation it counts as a sponser!
I think she's just gonna make it in time, do you?
She has helped me many times....this is one of them.
I adore Marianne, I traveled 120+ miles each way, by myself to see Marianne speak about 10 years ago. When I gave her one of her books to sign that I had been reading and highlighting, Marianne was so humbled and happy to see all the highlights. She said this mean't so much to an author to see this. I am so glad she is running for President so people can hear her and her ideas. I think she is too ahead of her time to win the presidency, but I would love to see her as Secretary of Education or as an ambassador.
I really would like to hear that whole conversation...
This was amazing. Thank you
Literally have not watched this yet and the title alone has me like, say whUuuht?
Russell she has my vote, does she have yours? Marianne Williamson 2020!! A campaign run on love rather than hate. I cant wait for the debates. I wish I was as peaceful and poise as she is.
Marianne Williamson 2020
Donate so she can get on the debate stage.
Imagine what contrast she will be compared to the last presidential debates.
Love your new show 😊❤️🙏
Amen. Listened to this twice
Words of wisdom.Thank you.
Love this discussion.... love Marianne! She is beyond brilliant.
