.......against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.

"The small group sat in the chapel of a Northeast Side church, fans whirring as they closed their eyes and listened to the soothing, hypnotic voice of William Carpenter tell them they are breathing in peace as they inhale.
“We’re moving from praying to God to praying in God,” said Carpenter, the group’s facilitator. “There’s nothing you have to reach out for … There’s no effort to pray in God. We’re already whole, perfect and complete.”
The group was practicing “A Course in Miracles,” a text they and Democratic Presidential candidate Marianne Williamson follow. Though not known as a religion, the text, published in 1975, does reference God and Jesus.
Williamson, a self-help author, describes the course as “a self-study program of spiritual psychotherapy.” While some have labeled the practice as selfish and called Williamson wonky, there are more than 2,000 study groups like the one Carpenter leads around the world, with three in Columbus, according to The Foundation for Inner Peace, which publishes the book on the course.
As for Marianne Williamson, who hasn’t yet been confirmed to participate in the next Democratic primary debates on Sept. 12 and 13, Carpenter said he thinks she’s made a “huge difference” by running.
“She started another conversation,” he said, as she has helped people to understand there can be more than the bickering that exists between the two political parties. “As a student of the course, it’s really not her but the Holy Spirit working through her inspiring her to take on that endeavor.”
Mark Caleb Smith, director of the Center for Political Studies at Cedarville University in southwestern Ohio, pointed out how Williamson isn’t talking of race and gender, or identity politics, like other candidates, but is instead talking of what she sees as a moral, fundamental problem in the country that people don’t love each other.
Stephens feels that some of Williamson’s views don’t fit with the teachings of the course. For instance, her plan to pay restitution to the descendants of slaves is about going back to the past and correcting an error that happened decades ago, whereas the course teaches forgiveness and not living in the past, said Stephens, who has been studying the course for a few years.
“I don’t think she’s making a good representative (of the course) as I understand it,” he said. “She’s not telling people about the course, she’s talking politics.”
