God honored even the miscreations of His children because they had made them. But He also blessed His children with a way of thinking that could raise their perceptions so high they could reach almost back to Him. The Holy Spirit is the Mind of the Atonement. He represents a state of mind close enough to One-mindedness that transfer to it is at last possible. Perception is not knowledge, but it can be transferred to knowledge, or cross over into it. It might even be more helpful here to use the literal meaning of transferred or “carried over,” since the last step is taken by God. T-5.I.6: 1 - 6

Human beings have separated themselves from the nondual Oneness. They are drops of the ocean which have split themselves off from the whole. They yearn to return to that from which they have come. The Holy Spirit can help us by making us aware of what it is that we desire and helping us up the ladder to the top, and then God, the non dualistic Oneness, takes the last step and welcomes us home.
In Unitarian Universalism we join together to nurture each other’s spiritual intelligence by affirming and promoting our search for truth and meaning. UU draws on six sources to help us navigate the way. There are many maps which depict detours, distractions, and wrong turns but with persistence we can reorient and eventually find our way.
Today, as we consider the various maps to determine our route home, we can ask the Holy Spirit to guide us.
