Are we using our right mind or our wrong mind?



The ego uses the body to conspire against your mind, and because the ego realizes that its “enemy” can end them both merely by recognizing they are not part of you, they join in the attack together. This is perhaps the strangest perception of all, if you consider what it really involves. The ego, which is not real, attempts to persuade the mind, which is real, that the mind is the ego’s learning device; and further, that the body is more real than the mind is. No one in his right mind could possibly believe this, and no one in his right mind does believe it. T-6.IV.5:1-4


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


Another fundamental concept in A Course In Miracles is the “right mind” and the “wrong mind.” The right mind is aligned with the Holy Spirit, the unconditional love of God, while the wrong mind has forgotten its Transcendent Source and thinks that the ego and the body are its true home. As the bumper sticker says, “Don’t believe everything you think.” Thinking that the ego and the body is your real Self is insane.


In Unitarian Universalism some of us covenant together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person and this inherent worth and dignity comes from our Transcendent Source and is recognized and acknowledged by our right mind.


Today it is suggested that we reflect on whether we are using our right mind or our wrong mind. Our right mind is based on unconditional love and our wrong mind is based on conditional love.
