Until UUs take their role seriously in the world, the world will continue to suffer longer than it would otherwise. UUs could speed up the passage of time to the Atonement if they would become more aware of their special role and act accordingly. I admire Phil and wish there were more people like himself.Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647562459433740241.post-73991401837760871642017-08-19T17:46:40.738-04:002017-08-19T17:46:40.738-04:00Surrinda:

Recognizing this diminishes the fear of death as we become aware that the energy that animates us is immortal. All we have to surrender to enjoy this peace is our ego.
