We have the freedom to choose the ego or Spirit.




The Holy Spirit calls you both to remember and to forget. You have chosen to be in a state of opposition in which opposites are possible. As a result, there are choices you must make. In the holy state the will is free, so that its creative power is unlimited and choice is meaningless. Freedom to choose is the same power as freedom to create, but its application is different. Choosing depends on a split mind. The Holy Spirit is one way of choosing. God did not leave His children comfortless, even though they chose to leave Him. The voice they put in their minds was not the Voice for His Will, for which the Holy Spirit speaks. T-5.II.6: 1 - 9

After the separation we became aware of the power to choose. We can choose the world of the ego or the world of Spirit. The choice is our willfulness or God’s will. We can choose between conditional love and unconditional love. The ego constantly tempts us to choose conditional love.


In Unitarian Universalism we covenant together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. Is truth and meaning to be found in the world of the ego or the world of Spirit? It is our choice.


Today, be aware of our freedom to choose where we will look for love, in the conditional world of the ego, or the unconditional world of Spirit. We have simply to ask ourselves, “What would love have me do?”
