As long as you must be vigilant against anything, however, you are not recognizing this mutual exclusiveness, and still believe that you can choose either one. By teaching what to choose, the Holy Spirit will ultimately teach you that you need not choose at all. This will finally liberate your mind from choice, and direct it towards creation within the Kingdom. T-6.V.C.4:8-10
A Course in Miracles (p. 240). Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition.
In the section of ACIM on the lessons of the Holy Spirit, the third step “Be vigilant only for God and His Kingdom,” we are told that we really have no choice at all but we have the illusion of a choice between the world of the ego and the Kingdom of God. Since the world of the ego isn’t real but an illusion that we have simply made up, all that is left is the Kingdom of God which always was, is now, and will always be. In the introduction to the Course it is written, “The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence, which is your natural inheritance.” And so, in a sense, we don’t have to choose at all but discard the attachment to the things of the ego and our awareness of love’s presence will emerge.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning which is to be found under the veil of the illusions we have created.
Today it is suggested that we look within beneath the ego and experience the presence of unconditional love of God.
