The truth behind
illusions
T-30.IV.4. Reality observes the laws of God, and
not the rules you set. It is His laws that guarantee your safety. All illusions
that you believe about yourself obey no laws. They seem to dance a little
while, according to the rules you set for them. But then they fall and cannot
rise again. They are but toys, my child, so do not grieve for them.
A Course in Miracles . Foundation for Inner
Peace. P.634
This is, of course, the laws of God and the laws
of the world. We follow most often the laws of the world which are also called
the laws of idols like money, sex, power, fame, status, etc. We falsely believe
that it is these things we idolize which will make us happy but as it says in
the quote above our believe that these things can bring us happiness falls
apart and what are we left with back at the drawing board so to speak? It’s the
laws of God, of course. We have ignored them and repressed them and when we
have hit bottom it dawns on us that must be a better way. And then we begin our
search for what is really important.
Unitarian Universalists covenant together to
affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. We
will never find what we are looking for in the laws of the world, in the world
of idols. What we are looking for is in the world of God, the Tao, the Oneness,
that makes us whole as we realize the interdependent existence of which we are
apart.
