The Kingdom cannot be found alone, and you who are the Kingdom cannot find yourself alone. To achieve the goal of the curriculum, then, you cannot listen to the ego, whose purpose is to defeat its own goal. The ego does not know this, because it does not know anything. But you can know it, and you will know it if you are willing to look at what the ego would make of you. This is your responsibility, because once you have really looked at it you will accept the Atonement for yourself. What other choice could you make? Having made this choice you will understand why you once believed that, when you met someone else, you thought he was someone else. And every holy encounter in which you enter fully will teach you this is not so. T-8.III.6:1-8

Sometimes the idea is stated as “The kingdom of God is within you” but this is the ego talking. The Kingdom of God is among us when we join together. The Kingdom of God is found in the non dual Oneness not in separation and division.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person which we all share in together.
Today it is suggested that we consider that united we are holy and divided we descend into hell.
