Personally, I love it that Marianne Williamson said this.

Nelson Mandela is a wonderful figure, who has said a great many wonderful things; but his work in the world of politics and morality is limited to our physical incorporation, and to the societies that we inhabit.

Having a spiritual teacher give this quote provides a spiritual context for the ideas, and asks us to examine the light that we shine in terms of our spirit, instead of our role in the world of humans.

I suppose that is some of the mystique that Mandela would have lent to this quote; being a man of the world, he encourages us to look to within to the grander vistas of the spiritual realm, and his worldly stance gives us a strong base from which we can gaze into the infinite.

So I see the attraction, and the validity, that having Mandela as the author of such a powerful passage would provide.

But unlike many modern philosophers, I often study the new-age authors, because they are not limited by the boundaries of the mainstream, and they can actively pursue deeper ideas. It is not as surprising when they turn a phrase so profound, as when worldly figures happen to do it, but that is why I love reading their woo-woo works; they are rich with profundity.

Thanks for taking the time to share this story, Samuel Rinnetmäki.
