Choose the Kingdom of God or the world of the ego.



Remember the Kingdom always, and remember that you who are part of the Kingdom cannot be lost. The Mind that was in me is in you, for God creates with perfect fairness. T-5.VI.3:1-2


A Course in Miracles . Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition. 


The Course reminds us that we have only two choices to make in life: the Kingdom of God or the world of the ego. The Course then tells us that the Kingdom of God, while it can be forgotten, denied, marginalized, is never lost even when we become heavily engaged in the world of the ego. Jesus tells us that the Mind that was in him is in us as well.


In Unitarian Universalism we covenant together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. Do we believe that people are inherently good or bad, pristine or defective, beautiful or ugly? Were we born with original sin or original blessing?


Today, it is suggested that we take some time to be mindful of the Kingdom of God within us as we interact with the things of the world of the ego. We might even recognize and acknowledge the Kingdom of God within others with whom we interact and pay them a compliment or express some form of appreciation.
