What is this thing we call life?


Hear, then, the one answer of the Holy Spirit to all the questions the ego raises: You are a child of God, a priceless part of His Kingdom, which He created as part of Him. Nothing else exists and only this is real. You have chosen a sleep in which you have had bad dreams, but the sleep is not real and God calls you to awake. There will be nothing left of your dream when you hear Him, because you will awaken. Your dreams contain many of the ego’s symbols and they have confused you. Yet that was only because you were asleep and did not know. When you wake you will see the truth around you and in you, and you will no longer believe in dreams because they will have no reality for you. Yet the Kingdom and all that you have created there will have great reality for you, because they are beautiful and true. T-6.IV.6:1-8

Wow! What else can be said about this passage?


In Unitarian Universalism some of us covenant together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. This inherent worth and dignity arises outside the dream of the ego and is a part of the Kingdom of God which, as the Universalists taught us, is made up of God’s unconditional love for God’s creation.


Today it is suggested that we take some time throughout the day to reflect on the Holy Spirit’s answer to all our questions of what and who we are, what and how we are to do things, and on what things we should put our mind.
