Come follow me.

When you unite with me you are uniting without the ego, because I have renounced the ego in myself and therefore cannot unite with yours. Our union is therefore the way to renounce the ego in you. The truth in both of us is beyond the ego. Our success in transcending the ego is guaranteed by God, and I share this confidence for both of us and all of us. I bring God’s peace back to all His children because I received it of Him for us all. Nothing can prevail against our united wills because nothing can prevail against God’s. T-8.V.4:1-6

Jesus tells us “The truth in both of us is beyond the ego.” and it makes me laugh. Jesus was laughing when he said, as the Romans were killing him, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” Life beyond the ego is filled with peace and joy. Rise above the nonsense and the insanity. The promises of the world of the ego are such a joke.

In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning and seekers come to realize that truth and meaning is not to be found in the world of the ego. Truth and meaning are found by rising above the ego and seeking it in the awareness of the non dual Oneness of unconditional love. Jesus knows this and invites us to join him.

Today it is suggested that we consider what Jesus means when he says to people “Come follow me.” Where is he leading us and if we go with him what will we find?
