For years, Marianne Williamson has been offering weekly lectures based on A Course in Miracles. These lectures are profound, insightful, and compelling with an always-relevant message.

We're all on a journey. The journey started in love...and will, ultimately, finish in love. Between the beginning and the end, though, we have to walk through pain. We're faced with challenges and obstacles that test our patience and our wits. These tests truly become the measure of who we are. In this program, Marianne examines why we sometimes journey so far from the love where we begin, and discusses what we have to do and overcome in order to get back to it.

A Course in Miracles tell us, "The journey to God is merely the reawakening of the knowledge of where you are always, and what you are forever." Marianne Williamson, the internationally acclaimed lecturer and author of four number-one New York Times best-selling books, including A Return to Love, is one of the foremost teachers of A Course in Miracles. In these dynamic teachings recorded live, Marianne encourages us to remember the divinity within us all, and she offers ways to summon its power and love to share to those around us.

Illuminata brings prayer into our daily lives, with prayers on topics from releasing anger to finding forgiveness, from finding great love to achieving intimacy. There are prayers for couples, for parents, and for children; prayers to mend broken relationships and prayers to overcome obsessive and compulsive love. There are prayers to heal the soul, prayers to heal the body, and prayers for work and creativity.

This recording of Marianne Williamson's seminar at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, helps listeners to see the luminous light within themselves and within each person in their lives. Williamson's meditations, prayers, thought-provoking lectures and exercises take us on an exploration of our human potential and are designed to help us return to our "Serene Centers." By quieting our minds and going within to that still place that exists in all of us, we can find the courage to look at ourselves in a new and "luminous" light.
