We are drops of the ocean.


To teach the whole Sonship without exception demonstrates that you perceive its wholeness, and have learned that it is one. Now you must be vigilant to hold its oneness in your mind because, if you let doubt enter, you will lose awareness of its wholeness and will be unable to teach it. The wholeness of the Kingdom does not depend on your perception, but your awareness of its wholeness does. It is only your awareness that needs protection, since being cannot be assailed. Yet a real sense of being cannot be yours while you are doubtful of what you are. This is why vigilance is essential. Doubts about being must not enter your mind, or you cannot know what you are with certainty. Certainty is of God for you. Vigilance is not necessary for truth, but it is necessary against illusions.T-6.V.C.8:1-9

Today’s passage is referring to non duality or what mystics call “Divine Union.” Today’s passage also makes a distinction between perception and awareness. To perceive requires a subject and an object which requires separation while awareness is knowing that the subject and the object are one.


In Roman Catholic Unitarian Universalism it is understood that God’s creations are part of God unconditionally. This is known as the “beatific vision” and seeing beyond the veil.


Today it is suggested that we realize that we are drops of the ocean and are, in essence, one with it.
