Which curriculum do you choose to study: the one of the ego or the one of the Atonement?

 

The curriculum of the Atonement is the opposite of the curriculum you have established for yourself, but so is its outcome. If the outcome of yours has made you unhappy, and if you want a different one, a change in the curriculum is obviously necessary. T-8.I.5:1-2


A Course in Miracles (p. 280). Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition. 


The curriculum of the ego is based on conditional love. The curriculum of the Atonement is based on unconditional love. The student will not learn what the student wants to learn if the student is focused in two directions. If the curriculum of the ego based on conditional love makes you unhappy, perhaps a different curriculum, one based on unconditional love is better and necessary.


In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. This affirmation and promotion is based on unconditional love which is the curriculum of the Atonement or the undoing of the separation.


Today it is suggested that we consider which curriculum we choose to study, the curriculum of the ego and conditional love or the curriculum of the Atonement and unconditional love.
