Lesson #306
The gift of Christ is all I seek today
What is the “gift of Christ”? It is the vision of the healed world where there is no separation, no division, only One. It is the vision of the UU sixth principle, “The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all.” This goal has been achieved already in God’s vision. It is human egos which have obstructed the view of it. If we can clear away the barriers and obstacles erected in the ego world, we can see the gift of Christ, holiness, clearly.
In Alcoholic Anonymous it is suggested, in step eleven, that we seek to improve our conscious contact with God through prayer, meditation, and mindfulness.
In Unitarian Universalism we join together to affirm and promote the goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all.
Today, it is suggested that we reflect continually on the gift of Christ which is the holiness of the world. Like the buddhist monk said to the hot dog vendor, “Make me one with everything.”
