God does not take steps, because His accomplishments are not gradual. He does not teach, because His creations are changeless. He does nothing last, because He created first and for always. T-7.I.7:1-3

God is One and steps and incrementalism is a construct of the ego based on separation and division. Space and time are a construction which allows the ego to measure based on separation and division. However beneath these constructions of the ego is the Ground of Being, the Force, the Transcendent Source. Being enamored with space and time we forget from where we have come and to what we are returning. The return requires giving up the things of the ego.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote a respect for the interdependent web of all existence which, in the last analysis, doesn’t exist in the Kingdom of God. The drops merge back into the ocean which is the basis of the web.
Today it is suggested that we remind ourselves that we are one with everything and to merge into peace and bliss must give up our attachments to the things of the ego.
