Mary Morrisey

The New Thought Movement, or simply New Thought, is relatively a new spiritual movement that started in the USA that is based on metaphysical beliefs. Since its inception during the early 19th century, many religious dominations, secular organizations, authors and philosophers have sprung out from the movement. And one of them... is a personal favourite guru of mine Mary Morrissey. I have decided to begin my blog journey with a homage to Mary.

When it comes to credentials, Mary´s are right up there! She has a Bachelor's Degree in Education, Master's Degree in Psychology, and honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters. She has been an ordained Minister for over 30 years (she did most of her work with Unity Church). Regardless of all the degrees and honours she has obtained for herself, however, nothing is more important than the two black belts she has earned: one in success and one in for failure.

She´s written two books - No Less Than Greatness and Building Your Field of Dreams - which eventually became bestsellers. She also has a PBS Special. Apart from books, she has also authored and contributed work to many audio programs, one of which is Working with the Law with another hero of mine, Bob Proctor. 

Mary Morrissey hails from Oregon, USA. She is one of the best speakers in the industry and a top-notch consultant even after three decades. Mary's teaching skill is so influential that her transformational talks and seminars have put her on the map as one of the best teachers in the field of human potential. She is also the founder and the current president of LifeSOULutions, a company that helps transforming dreams and aspirations into possibility.

Mary also co-founded Association for Global New Thought, and she is its first President. She was the first New Thought Minister to be appointed to the Parliament of Religion's Executive Counsel alongside Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith from Agape (another personal hero of mine). She´s spoken 3 times as the Co-Chair of A Season of Non-Violence at the United Nations and, to top it all, she was inducted into the Martin Luther King Order of Preachers.

Mary has been linked to many influential world leaders. She has co-assembled and assisted the progress of 3 different weeklong meetings with nevertheless, His Holiness The Dalai Lama. She has also met with South Africa's visionary Nelson Mandela in Cape Town.

However, even with all these achievements, Mary also has had her share of public pain and obstacles, most notably with her ex husband. When I first saw Mary it was on the Bob Proctor Cruise in Oct 2007 and she was so open with the audience about her ex husband. She spoke with such humility and warmth it was impossible not to feel for her. She did, however, stress that obstacles will never stop her from doing good for others with her teachings. On that cruise as she took daily worship alongside Rev Beckwith of Agape, she touched many people's hearts and minds. People like Dr. Wayne Dyer, author of Manifest your Destiny and Marianne Williamson, author of A Woman's Worth have continuously praised her, claiming that she is, indeed, one of the best teachers of life around. And I couldn´t agree more!
