God does not teach. To teach is to imply a lack, which God knows is not there. God is not conflicted. Teaching aims at change, but God created only the changeless. The separation was not a loss of perfection, but a failure in communication. A harsh and strident form of communication arose as the ego’s voice. It could not shatter the peace of God, but it could shatter yours. God did not blot it out, because to eradicate it would be to attack it. Being questioned, He did not question. He merely gave the Answer. His Answer is your Teacher. T-6.IV.12: 1-11

Oh my goodness, what a passage. God does not teach. There is no need. We are already perfect but don’t know it. What we have here is a failure in communication. We have cut ourselves off from the peace and joy which we call “God” or as we prefer here our “Transcendent Source.”
In Unitarian Universalism some of us covenant together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person which flows from our Source. If we are to be happy we can remember from whence we came, to what we belong, and to whom we will return.
Today it is suggested that we take a few minutes several times during the day to rise above the ego world and consider what we really are and where our awareness can abide..
