Consider the Oneness to which we ultimately belong.


Sickness is a way of demonstrating that you can be hurt. It is a witness to your frailty, your vulnerability, and your extreme need to depend on external guidance. The ego uses this as its best argument for your need for its guidance. It dictates endless prescriptions for avoiding catastrophic outcomes. The Holy Spirit, perfectly aware of the same situation, does not bother to analyze it at all. T-8.VIII.6:1-5

The ego loves baloney or more vulgarly, bullshit. The ego would have us live in fear because then we are more likely to listen to it. The Holy Spirit, on the other hand, tells us that we are loved unconditionally and have nothing to fear. Being drops of the ocean we are meant to give up our separateness and rejoin the Transcendent Source from which we have emerged.


In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the awareness of the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. Like the Buddhist monk said to the hot dog vendor, “Make me one with everything.”


Today it is suggested that we consider the Oneness to which we ultimately belong.
