Do I really want to see what I denied?
If you say “yes”, it
means giving up the ego and many people find this hard to do wholeheartedly.
Are you really willing
to have your identity obliterated?
If you say “Yes,” then
eternal happiness and bliss is yours. If you say “No,” you will continue to
live in purgatory if not hell.
As it is written in A
Course In Miracles, T-29.VII.1.
Seek not outside
yourself. For it will fail, and you will weep each time an idol falls.
Heaven cannot be found
where it is not, and there can be no peace excepting there. Each idol that you
worship when God calls will never answer in His place.
There is no other answer
you can substitute, and find the happiness His answer brings. Seek not outside
yourself. For all your pain comes simply from a futile search for what you
want, insisting where it must be found. What if it is not there?
Do you prefer that you
be right or happy?
Be you glad that you are
told where happiness abides, and seek no longer elsewhere. You will fail. But
it is given you to know the truth, and not to seek for it outside yourself.

Unitarian Univeralists
covenant together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for
truth and meaning. Where is that truth and meaning to be found? Many of us are
afraid to look within. It is much less scary and comfortable to look without.
It distracts us from what we fear lurks in our unconscious.
What is in our
unconscious, our Oneness with our creator from Whom we have separated, we deny.
Some say that “denial is a river in Egypt” and laugh. Some of us with a sense
of adventure and stage fright decide to look within and we are richly rewarded
discovering our Holiness and the Tao of which we are a part.
