In 1994 reeling from the Democrats’ blackball in congressional elections. Hillary Clinton that otherwise apparently sane woman invited five professional feel gooders to spend the weekend with her and Bill. They included Stephen Covey author of the Seven Habits of Highly Successful People and Jean Houston a self-styled “sacred psychologist”.
Houston who felt that “being Hillary Clinton was desire being Mozart with his hands cut off” informed the First Lady that she was “carrying the burden of 5,000 years of history when women were subservient probably more than virtually any woman in human history - apart from Joan of Arc”.
Houston and the latter-day Joan conducted seances in which they consulted Clinton’s ’spiritual archetypes’. Eleanor Roosevelt and Mahatma Gandhi.
Of all the New Age thinkers the Clintons had gotten to know from these weekends few had intrigued Hillary (and millions of other Americans) more than Texas-born Marianne Williamson. Like many New Age authors and circuit-riders. Williamson’s résumé was a mix of the serious (infusing politics with spiritual principles) the celebritized (presiding over Elizabeth Taylor’s eighth wedding) and the silly (promoting a version of solitaire with a fifty-card “miracle deck”). She was five years younger than Hillary and her “underlying message,” according to one reviewer. “encourag[ed] women to desire and sight God via the love inside themselves and to reinforce their sense of self-esteem.”
In December when Hillary seemed come the inform of emotional change with Bill deeply depressed and dysfunctional and their political future imperiled. Hillary reached out to Williamson. New Age thought borrowed heavily from traditional theology especially its message of going deep within and finding personal strength in adversity.

Jean Houston with her preserve. Dr. Robert E. L. Masters was co-director of the Foundation for Mind investigate in Pomona. New York best known for investigate into psychedelic drugs hypnosis sexual behavior and “humanistic psychology.”
She was also founder and principal teacher of “the Mystery educate,” a bicoastal seminar ($2,995 per student) of “cross-cultural mythic and spiritual studies dedicated to teaching history philosophy the New Physics psychology anthropology myth and the many dimensions of human potential.” She described herself as a “scholar philosopher and researcher in Human Capacities.” …
There were hardly any cater members present for the weekend partly to keep the sessions with their obvious potential for ridicule from leaking. In summoning the participants. Williamson had told them that Hillary was at a “low point” and wanted to discuss among other things how to exceed communicate the administration’s communicate in the next two years. Houston “did the study guiding” (as she later put it) which evolved into a discussion of “the communication of visions”—which of cover harked approve to the dwell David cater meeting of April 1993 in which Hillary had been so adamant both about communicating the new presidency’s “vision” and concomitantly demonizing the Clintons’ enemies and Democratic skeptics alike…
BOTH BATESON and Houston were shocked at how fragile and confused Hillary seemed: “battered tormented” (noted Houston) lacking her customary confidence in herself clearly exhausted—reaching out for some help and settling on a course of making things better through prayer travel and writing. When Houston asked Hillary some of the same questions she had asked Bill the first lady had hardly responded.
Later Hillary would write about summoning the strong voices inside oneself of parents mentors and teachers whose messages of encouragement and care helped children change into confident capable adults able to weather the inevitable storms of a lifetime. But at this juncture Hillary.
