Can you be separated from your identification and be at peace? Dissociation is not a solution; it is a delusion. The delusional believe that truth will assail them, and they do not recognize it because they prefer the delusion. Judging truth as something they do not want, they perceive their illusions which block knowledge. Help them by offering them your unified mind on their behalf, as I am offering you mine on behalf of yours. Alone we can do nothing, but together our minds fuse into something whose power is far beyond the power of its separate parts. By not being separate, the Mind of God is established in ours and as ours. This Mind is invincible because it is undivided. T-8.V.1:1-8

The bolding above has been added to make it stand out because of its importance. The ocean is greater and more powerful than the separate drops even if the drops refuse to acknowledge that they come from and are part of the ocean. Jesus tells us, in the Course, that we are part of the ocean with him.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning while most people don’t recognize and acknowledge the truth for they prefer or only know the false promises of the world of the ego.
Today it is suggested that we recognize and acknowledge the delusions we cling to hoping that the false promises of the ego will bring us peace. It is further suggested that having recognized and acknowledged these false promises that we engage in unconditional loving from which we have come and to which we return.
