The Holy Spirit is the way in which God’s Will is done on earth as it is in Heaven. Both Heaven and earth are in you, because the call of both is in your mind. The Voice for God comes from your own altars to Him. These altars are not things; they are devotions. Yet you have other devotions now. Your divided devotion has given you the two voices, and you must choose at which altar you want to serve. The call you answer now is an evaluation because it is a decision. The decision is very simple. It is made on the basis of which call is worth more to you. T-5.II.8: 4 - 12

This passage in ACIM points out again that we have a split mind. Part of our mind serves the earth of the ego and part of our mind serves Spirit in Heaven. We are reminded again that we have a choice which part of our mind we will utilize for service. This choice is based on which part of our mind we prize more.
In Unitarian Universalism we join together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. This worth and dignity does not arise from the ego but from the Spirit.
Today, it is suggested that we reflect on our choice. What has greater value to us: the ego or Spirit?
