Look above the parts to the whole.


Whenever you deny a blessing to a brother you will feel deprived, because denial is as total as love. It is as impossible to deny part of the Sonship as it is to love it in part. Nor is it possible to love it totally at times. You cannot be totally committed sometimes. Denial has no power in itself, but you can give it the power of your mind, whose power is without limit. If you use it to deny reality, reality is gone for you. Reality cannot be partly appreciated. That is why denying any part of it means you have lost the awareness of all of it. T-7.VII.1: 1-8

A Course in Miracles (p. 263). Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition. 


At a metaphysical level, A Course In Miracles is black and white. There is no gray. The first of the fifty principles of Miracles is “There is no order of difficulty in miracles. One is not “harder” or “bigger” than another. They are all the same. All expressions of love are maximal.” No drop of the ocean is different from another drop; all drops all part of the ocean.


In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote a respect, if not a love, for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.


Today it is suggested that we look above the parts to the whole.
