- čas přidán 13. 11. 2017
- Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple, shares her perspective on cultivating resilience and equanimity by mindfully tending to painful wounds caused by sorrow, anger or despair.
This event was presented by the Stanford Contemplation by Design Summit in partnership with BeWell Stanford, the Office for Religious Life and The Stanford Storytelling Project.
" I work for the ancestors... I've never worked for anybody else." -Alice Walker
She just blessed my entire soul. My entire perspective just shifted.
Nila Curry My sentiments exactly sis. Very powerful.
💜🧡💜☮️💟🖤💜☮️🌎🧡
This!!!! Please if you haven’t already read The Temple of my Familiar and her journals ‘Gathering Blossoms Under Fire’
She is remarkable and FREE. Her mind and heart is just phenomenal
she's working for the ancestors alright
How, on earth, can Alive Walker see so much, -- with only one eye and one lifetime?!
Please read her journals ‘Gathering Blossoms Under Fire’ because that is one of the overwhelming impressions I got from this remarkable human is how does she live so FREELY and thinks and feels about so much. She is mind blowing.
This is saving my life today - a day of many many tears. It has been feeling like the end of the world and these words give me peace.
Earlier today I watched a video here by a sweet man who was showing his method of raking leaves and it was fun to watch and made me happy. Then I read the many comments, most of which were mean and in my opinion cruel. I thought what has our world become that so many would be so mean and ugly to a nice man like this? Not a kind word. Is this what we are now? What has happened to our hearts that we can be this way.
Well this video has saved me today and I thank Alice Walker. My tears are still there but their nature is a bit changed and it feels like a glimmer of hope.
This is so beautifully written, especially the last sentence
Steady hugs XXX 💙💚🧡
That’s beautiful
She's so graceful poised and magnetic. I can listen to her ALL day. She's magical, really. A treasure for the peaceful. We're lucky and blessed.
Dear Alice Walker. I met you at a progressive festival. delight beyond imagination. I suspected we were sister, and after hearing your sweet songs then, hearing them now, I smile and flutter on a wave of loud silence knowing the naked secret of commrades, sisters and sobbing giggles. Thank you
What a courageous and brave woman. I made a comment on facebook about Ms Walker and it wasn’t kind but was later gravitated to her Spirit. How wrong I was.
We love Ms. Alice 🌸🌸🌸🌸 I love listening to her speak.
Suffering is the universal equalizer...
What words for us to ponder. Wonderful lesson, and beautiful squash blossom necklace☆
Alice Walker...an amazing woman who is presenting something we need to hear today.

The video has only just begun and I can already feel tears welling up my eyes. :')
Dear Alice ,You are just awesome. Such a blessed soul. Love You.
What a treasure! Thank you
I ❤ this woman too. Age happened after I got serious brain injury from a Goldman Sachs Gorter Family Foundation narcissist empowered by a missionary on a private prison island empire begun by Governor Grey a Portuguese Man of War sent here from South Africa where he controlled the Southern Hemisphere as England was loosing its income from the slice of the America's it's pirates of the Caribbean had won. Piracy was the only true form of democracy the English knew. Every human had a vote as to who was captain. Voting wasn't held during battle cos if everyone didn't work together as a team, they all got killed. AGE, you melted my heart and I'm do very glad that seven years of brain injury later, I've been healed enough to see your video ❤
Many Thanks, Elder Alice Walker!
Thank you so much for this 💜 love you
WOW is all I can say. The way she ended that speaking of the water, the stars and the earth when the ship got there in comparison to accepting the foreign god forced upon the Africans! Whew!!!
@AliceWalker Blessings sister!!! Love your spirit and message. Your voice is so needed. You’re an inspiration
You are loved. Thank you Mrs. Alice Walker.
Thank you so much mama Alice 😍
our daughters rising & the gospel according to shug...
my daughter is rising
inspite of & because of my gifts & flaws...she/he is a miracle, a most precious gift...
during our troubled journey she somehow softened the blows of the consequences of my
confusion & blindspots...
having my daughter reflected back to me has inspired me to reflect a more conscientious daughter back to my mother...
i thank G.O.D. that i am also now among our daughters rising...
terri a.
i really enjoyed the gospel according to shug as i also enjoy matt's gospel chptr 5...
however, shug's gospel had a slightly different modern day but no less savory, flavor...several specific practicals of "self help" love to 1self, inspires me & reaffirms to me that those who perhaps consider themselves my enemy rather than my created sibling (& likewise applied to me-vice versa) really hv no capacity to restrict me; as i really hv no capacity to restrict them...& that's good to realize...
ms alice walker, your gift of sharing your serenity through your speech makes it difficult to speak your words in my mind without attempting to become an impressionist...lol...
yur speech/your spit vibrations are as to nature as are the created bird's tweets & chirping, which serenade me from about 3:00a.m. to about 4:30a.m. & this, while living just a few blocks outside chitwn...
you spoke the word "perilous" & it vibrated as "i love all of u"...
terri a.
Alice Walker. Thank God for you.
Thank you so much, Alice Walker.
seeing some of the comments about people coming here in light of a mass shooting and here i am day after uvalde in 2022 and there are just no words, just numbing grief. alice walkers words will get us through
I never imagined this saddest point in history. The synagogue massacre last month, The Tree of Life, in Pittsburgh is a few blocks from where grew up. I heard you speak at the Chatham Campus a few years back, the energy in the neighborhood is without compare.... I’m listening to this again again
Hi… I just found this video and it’s so intelligent, empowering, full of empathy and wisdom… I’ll be listening over and over as well. 😄💕
This touched my soul today 😊❤️🙏🏾
Thank You my fellow Aquarian God Writer Mother I love you ❤️💕😘 #iworkformyancestors!! 💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏾🙏🏾💫💫♒️♒️🕉🕉
Well Said!!! Thank you Alice Walker!
Love Alice Walker.
It's sad our uneducated people ridicule them. We must take each moment to have teachable moment.
GODSPEED 💜
Truly powerful! You look so much like my mom.
Russell means wud be happy to gear this..rest in peace
Thank you for existing ❤️
Thank you Ms Alice x
I love this, and an enjoying the shivers it sends through my soul. One small correction, "I Will Always Love You" was written by another poor and marginalized woman, Dolly Parton. Dolly grew up very poor, and as I think you know, all poor people experience violence. Gandhi said that poverty is the most pervasive form of violence. It doesn't diminish Whitney Houston, and yes, all who pass on are ancestors. I experience Whitney as a tragedy of the homophobia that she let destroy her spirit. As a Gay man, I also know the "arrow in the heart" that so many of us experience in our "incredibly toxic culture" (to use your comment about Zora Neale Hurston at the Greenspace a few years ago). This share is amazing, and I will share it extensively. Thank you Ms. Alice for your life and work, and your most loving heart.
James Baldwin: "Our suffering connects us."
"I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it." alice walker
i totally agree with this sentiment...
Life only brings forth life of His kind...
my child, i also think it saddens G.O.D., to the point of G.O.D. hving arrows in the heart of G.O.D., when Their children believe that they are somehow spiritual orphans, abandoned & parentless...
gns 1:26-28 bblhub bsb
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness...to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it."
So God created man in His own image;
in the image of God He created him;
male and female He created them.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth.”
my child where are your Initial Parents of your kind...?...We assure you, the heavens are not your mother of your kind, the erth is not your father of your kind...from where do you initially come & so on & so on...?
in your suffering you hv resolved not to acknowledge Us; We understand...the lies & pain of this world hv blinded you & harden your heart against your True Mother, True Father & True Eldest Sibling...again, We understand...
therefore, We hv giving unto you a heart for the garden...a heart to cultivate & appreciate the garden & all of the beautiful & various patterns of your siblings, the animals, the plants, the seas & the erth...this, along with the magnificent rises & depths...up to the highest height of the firmament; which We hv spread over you as a protective tent-dwn to the established foundations that keep your feet steady & which can never be moved or measured other than by Our hand...
Yes, in Our Divine & Eternal enthusiasm & Divine & Eternal wisdom We gave all of the domed sea-erth plane & its contents unto you, for you...however, as you hv passionately & compassionatedly pointed out, time & time again, not to abuse, nor to lay heavy burdens upon them or 1 another but also & certainly not to worship...
We simply did so for your good because Our love for you is perfect & eternal...We know that at this time you do not understand these things but in time & in a very short while, you will come to understand them...
We love you...you are Our created children, created children of The Divine Supreme Parents...none are mistakes, for We are perfect in purpose; Perfect in Our Purposed Good for you...
don't you realize you are by nature & spirit, a reflection of Our Divine Essence & Eternal Power...?
do you not realize that all of nature speaks to Our Divine Essence & Eternal Power...?
rmns 1:19 & 20
"For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse."
you my child, are the most precious of G.O.D.'s creation...
We hv always been here..We know your pain-your suffering & of every soul...yes, it is time to pull out the arrows that hv festered & become infected within Our children's hearts...it is time, so the beloved community is at hand & soon, shall be established upon the domed sea-erth plane...
be still Our children & know that We are G.O.D...The Generating Omnipotent-scient-present Designer...

is there a transcript for these beautiful teachings
Believe it or not this is my 4th cousin❤️
Such a wise woman Alice Walker ❤️
❤❤❤❤
-Si realmente vives en un país y eres ajeno a sus raíces difícilmente seas un árbol. Estas vacilando por ahí. No tienes una conexión real. Puede que pienses que si la tienes pero no es así. Y siento esto con mucha fuerza en este país porque una de las cosas que notas mientras manejas un auto es que el paisaje esta en silencio. Éste paisaje que habitamos aquí no se supone que sea tan tranquilo. Se supone que tiene todo tipo de vidas gritando y mujiendo y cortando el césped y estrellándose. Es anormalmente silencioso porque han matado todos los seres que deberían estar aquí. Cuando tomamos un tren desde New York o desde cualquier otra parte del país deberíamos estar mirando millones de búfalos. Eso es lo que hizo ésta tierra tan viva. Y eso es parte de la razón por la que la gente que mataba a los indios desecaba los búfalos. Los mataron para que la gente no tuviera nada que comer y porque en sí mismos no tenían espíritu al que aferrarse. Lo que el búfalo era para la tierra y lo que la vida es para la tierra. Es como si la tierra hubiera sido asesinada junto con la gente. Entonces la tierra esta muda, simplemente esta ahí. Y es por eso que puedes tener un fertilizante terrible, puedes hacer que venga Monsanto, puedes hacer que la gente piense que es solo una cosa. Pero no lo es. -Alice Walker
Damn Alice ain’t holding back lol. Teach!
Nice lady, some wise words
I Will Always Love You was written by Dolly Parton
Lennonesque dig Dolly! But Whitney made it ours.
I really dig me some Dolly. She’s not typical.
❤
Strange; - this is what I SEARCHED FOR; - HOW DOES HUMAN SUFFERING LOOK FROM THE PURPLE CUSION I WONDER?

Loved the movie Color Purple, but Alice Walker is way off when it comes to understanding God and spirituality. Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Prince are her ancestors? Very loopy concept. She should go back to worshiping Jesus like she was told as a child.
Absolutely!
Capitalism is the crisis!!!
When she starts dissing Bobby Brown talking about Whitney Houston she just loses me...Your whole argument is based around "My Perogative"! Everything the RAM does he does for EWE!
Take the anti semitism out your writing instead.
down with capitalism. property is theft
oh man , preaching about child abuse pain and oppression and look how she talks about the nikes
