Looking for love in all the wrong places.


The word “knows” is correct here, because the Holy Spirit still holds knowledge safe in your mind through His impartial perception. By attacking nothing, He presents no barrier to the communication of God. Therefore, being is never threatened. Your Godlike mind can never be defiled. The ego never was and never will be part of it, but through the ego you can hear and teach and learn what is not true. You have taught yourself to believe that you are not what you are. You cannot teach what you have not learned, and what you teach you strengthen in yourself because you are sharing it. Every lesson you teach you are learning. T-6.III.I:3-10


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


The passage above is difficult to understand if the student does not understand the metaphysics of the Course. The Course teaches that the ego is not real. The only reality is the non dual Oneness of God. This non dual Oneness which our ego has separated itself from does not remember the non dual Oneness and therefore mistakenly teaches that the things of the ego are real while the things of God are not. However, the Oneness of God is never threatened and nothing in the world of the ego can change that. We learn what we teach and so if we teach the things of the ego we learn more about the world of the ego and if we teach the things of God we learn more about the Oneness of God.


In Unitarian Universalism some of us covenant together to affirm and promote a free and responsible search for truth and meaning and so much of this search is focused on the world of the ego rather than on the things of God. Most UUs know nothing about the non dual Oneness of the Kingdom of God and are looking for love in all the wrong places.


Today it is suggested that we take a few minutes to depart from the world of the ego and enter into the nondual Oneness of which we are a part.
