T-5.V.8. The continuing decision to remain separated is the only possible reason for continuing guilt feelings. We have said this before, but did not emphasize the destructive results of the decision. Any decision of the mind will affect both behavior and experience. What you want you expect. This is not delusional. Your mind does make your future, and it will turn it back to full creation at any minute if it accepts the Atonement first. It will also return to full creation the instant it has done so. Having given up its disordered thought, the proper ordering of thought becomes quite apparent.

What you want to see is often what you get. The psychologists call it “confirmation bias.” Another term often used is “self fulfilling prophecy.”
So do you want heaven or hell? Do you want unconditional love or conditional love? Do you want the world of the ego or the Kingdom of Heaven?
In Unitarian Universalism we join together to affirm and promote the acceptance of one another and the encouragement to spiritual growth. This means that UUs strive to help people become aware of their choices. It is up to the person to choose.
Today, it is suggested that we reflect on the choices we have for heaven or hell, for unconditional love or conditional love.
