Can you change your mind about your mind?


This places you in a position of needing to learn a lesson that seems contradictory;–you must learn to change your mind about your mind. Only by this can you learn that it is changeless. T-7.IV.7:8-9

A Course in Miracles (p. 256). Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition. 


What is your mind? What is it for? How does it work? We are conditioned by the world of the ego to believe that the world of conditional love is the real world. As we grow up we realize that this understanding is mistaken and that there is a whole other world which goes by many names. Some call it the “Kingdom of God” others call it “enlightenment” and ACIM calls it “right mindedness.” As we become more aware, we realize that we have a choice between the world of the ego and the Kingdom of God.


A Course In Miracles teaches that we can be right minded and wrong minded. Wrong minded is when we align ourselves with the world of the ego and conditional love. Right minded is when we align ourselves with the Kingdom of God and unconditional love. One of the first skills of spiritual intelligence is to know the difference.


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 in the Kingdom of God, unconditional love, and right mindedness.


Today it is suggested that we reflect on the difference between conditional love and wrong mindedness and unconditional love and right mindedness.
