4-CD Set: The Age of Miracles - Marianne Williamson

Embracing The New Midlife

The need for change at midlife— an emotional pressure for one phase of our lives to transition into another— is a human phenomenon, neither male nor female. There simply comes a time in our lives— not fundamentally different from the way puberty separates childhood from adulthood— when it’ s time for one part of ourselves to die and for something new to be born.

The purpose of this CD set by best-selling author and lecturer Marianne Williamson is to psychologically and spiritually reframe this transition so that it leads to a wonderful sense of joy and awakening. In your ability to rethink your life lies your greatest power to change it. What we have called “ middle age” need not be seen as a turning point toward death. It can be seen as a magical turning point toward life as we’ ve never known it, if we allow ourselves the power of an independent imagination. 

When we were young, we had energy but we were clueless about what to do with it. Today, we have less energy, perhaps, but we have far more understanding what each breath of life is for. And now at last we have a destiny to fulfill— not a destiny of a life that’ s simply over, but rather a destiny of a life that is finally truly lived.

Midlife is not a crisis; it is a time of rebirth. It is not a time to accept your death. It is time to accept your "life"— and to finally, truly live it, as only you and you alone know deep in your heart it was meant to be lived.
