Lesson #126
All that I give is given to myself.
There are many paradoxical and counterintuitive ideas taught by the Course. Things like you learn what you teach and to give is to receive. The idea that I give to myself is based on the idea of non dualistic Oneness before the separation. Are we separate beings or part of the same whole? Are we mundane entities or holy?
In Alcoholic Anonymous, it is encouraged in the twelfth step, to share what we have learned, to give what we have acquired. We are taught that recovery is a shared endeavor.
In Unitarian Universalists we covenant together to affirm and promote a love for the interdependent web of all existence of which we all are a part. One for all and all for one.
Today, it is suggested that we take fifteen minutes twice to reflect on the idea that being a part of a whole what we give to a perceived other is really given to oneself. It is one thing to sing alone. It is quite another to sing in a choir.
