Teach what you want to learn.



You learn first that having rests on giving, and not on getting. Next you learn that you learn what you teach, and that you want to learn peace. This is the condition for identifying with the Kingdom, since it is the condition of the Kingdom. You have believed that you are without the Kingdom, and have therefore excluded yourself from it in your belief. It is therefore essential to teach you that you must be included, and that the belief that you are not is the only thing that you must exclude. T-6.V.C.6:1-5


A Course in Miracles (pp. 240-241). Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition. 

So many of the ideas in A Course In Miracles are paradoxical and therefore counter intuitive. One such belief is that if you would have something like love you must give it away to get it. Second is the idea that you learn what you teach. The third idea is that if you want to get to heaven you must get rid of the idea that you are not already there.


In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. Truth and meaning is often paradoxical, incongruous, and absurd.


Today it is suggested that you attempt to teach what you want to learn.
