Your mind is dividing its allegiance between two kingdoms, and you are totally committed to neither. Your identification with the Kingdom is totally beyond question except by you, when you are thinking insanely. T-7.VI.9: 1-2
A Course in Miracles (p. 261). Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition.
The passage above reminds us that we have a choice between the world of the ego or the Kingdom of God, between conditional love and unconditional love. The Kingdom of God is always there for us even when we think otherwise. The world of the ego is very convincing until we hit bottom and then wonder if there is not a better way. This is called “the dawning,” and the dawning precipitates the search for Truth and meaning.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for Truth and meaning and this search takes us to the Kingdom of God and unconditional love.
Today it is suggested that we periodically remind ourselves that we have a choice: we can choose the idols of the ego or the Kingdom of God. It is helpful to ask ourselves “What would Love have me do?”
