Marianne Williamson tweets using ‘the power of the mind’ to deter hurricane
Marianne Williamson, the New Age author and Democratic presidential candidate, posted, and then quickly deleted, a tweet suggesting that it was “not a wacky idea” to collectively visualize Hurricane Dorian turning away from land.
The Category 5 hurricane devastated the Bahamas this week, killing at least seven people with dozens more missing. Thousands of homes were destroyed. Williamson, whose dogma is based on a New Age text called “A Course in Miracles,” had a series of viral moments in early debates touting the power of love over fear and the danger of “dark psychic forces.” Her anti-hurricane idea is similar to the “thoughts and prayers” generally expressed by politicians following mass shootings.
Visualizing the hurricane away is not the only unconventional anti-hurricane policy that’s been suggested recently. Last month, Axios reported that President Trump asked advisers multiple times if it made sense to fire nuclear weapons at hurricanes to slow them down.
