When your body and your ego and your dreams are gone, you will know that you will last forever. Perhaps you think this is accomplished through death, but nothing is accomplished through death, because death is nothing. Everything is accomplished through life, and life is of the mind and in the mind. The body neither lives nor dies, because it cannot contain you who are life. If we share the same mind, you can overcome death because I did. Death is an attempt to resolve conflict by not deciding at all. Like any other impossible solution the ego attempts, it will not work. T-6.V.A.1:1-7

The idea in the above passage that the body and the ego are not life is awesome. Life is of the mind and in the mind. The mind is one with everything which lives forever. This is what Jesus demonstrated. The body can die but the mind lives on as his does for over 2,000 years.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. This inherent worth and dignity is of the mind not of the body or the ego.
Today it is suggested that several times today to reflect on who and what we really are. We are of the mind not the body or the ego.
