Give the ego up and join the world of unconditional love.

Miracles should inspire gratitude, not awe. You should thank God for what you really are. The children of God are holy and the miracle honors their holiness, which can be hidden but never lost. T-1.1.31:1-3

The miracle is the shift in perception from the world of the ego to the world of love and a member of the world of love is who we really are. The world of love in our natural inheritance. When we recognize and acknowledge that we are members of the world of love we realize we are whole, holy, and have been all along. The world of the ego is an illusion, a painful one full of suffering due to our mistaken choice. As A Course In Miracles teaches over and over, “Choose again.” We get a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth chance, however many we need to get it right.

In Alcoholics Anonymous it is suggested, in step three, that we make a decision to turn our will and lives over to the care of God as we understand God to be.

In Unitarian Universalism we covenant together to affirm and promote the respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. We come to realize that no individual can be an individual alone.

Today, we become grateful knowing that God’s unconditional love is ours if we choose to give up the ego and recognize our natural inheritance.

Get your shit together and emanate good vibes into the universe.

By recognizing spirit, miracles adjust the levels of perception and show them in proper alignment. This places spirit at the center, where it can communicate directly. T-1.1.30:1-2

Remember a “miracle” in A Course In Miracles is a shift in perception from the world of the ego or conditional love to the world of Spirit or unconditional love. There is a huge difference. When we get our perceptions in alignment with Spirit first and foremost, the experience of our life is transformed from fear, guilt, resentment, anger, and grievance to love, peace, joy, compassion, and grace.

In Alcoholic Anonymous it is suggested, in step eleven, that we enhance our conscious awareness of unconditional love through prayer and meditation, and in A Course In Miracles it is suggested that we enhance our spiritual consciousness through forgiveness.

In Unitarian Universalism, we join together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person which is born out of unconditional love which is the love of God being channeled into the material world of incarnations.

Today, it is suggested that we have a choice between ego or conditional love, and spirit or unconditional love. When we get our priorities straight we get our shit together and emanate good vibes into the universe.

Keep the faith in unconditional love which praises God.

Miracles praise God through you. They praise Him by honoring His creations, affirming their perfection. They heal because they deny body-identification and affirm spirit-identification. T-1.1.29:1-3

Miracles are out of this world. They are supernatural because they do not operate in the realm of the ego world. Miracles operate in the world of the Spirit, Love. When we operate in the world of unconditional love it is a miracle and honors the God of creation. We function not seeking success but being faithful in our belief in the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

In Alcoholic Anonymous it is suggested, in step eleven, that we improve our conscious contact with God and in step twelve that we share our spiritual awakening with others.

In Unitarian Universalism we covenant together to respect the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part and to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person.

Today, we shift our perception from the world of the ego to the world of spirit and in doing so we praise God and experience peace and joy.

Release from fear is a miracle.

Miracles are a way of earning release from fear. Revelation induces a state in which fear has already been abolished. Miracles are thus a means and revelation is an end. T-1.1.28:1-3

A miracle is a decision to shift one’s perception from the world of the ego to the world of Unconditional Love. When this decision is made and the shift occurs, fear disappears and the peace of revelation of God’s Unconditional Love for us is realized.

In Alcoholics Anonymous it is suggested, in step eleven, that we improve our conscious contact with God through prayer and meditation. This improvement in our conscious contact eradicates fear and Unconditional Love is realized. We feel like the abolishment of fear and the realization of peace is a miracle.

In Unitarian Universalism we join together to affirm and promote the respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part and as this respect increases fear subsides and peace takes its place.

Today, as we renew our decision to focus on the world of Unconditional Love instead of the world of the ego, we recognize and acknowledge the abiding peace of God which is our natural inheritance. This recognition and acknowledgement seems like a miracle.

Share the blessings you have received.

A miracle is a universal blessing from God through me to all my brothers. It is the privilege of the forgiven to forgive. T-1.1.27:1-2

God doesn’t really forgive us because God doesn’t even know what we have created for ourselves in this world of the ego. God loves us unconditionally, always has, does now, and always will. Life is, after all, the gift we all have been given to learn what we need to learn to be consciously aware of our Source. When we decide to no longer make other people and circumstances responsible for our unhappiness, we are blessed to become aware of Love which is our natural inheritance. With this awareness, we are able to bless others.

In Alcoholic Anonymous, it is suggested, in step twelve, that we share this spiritual awakening with others and practice this blessing in all our affairs.

In Unitarian Universalism we covenant together to accept one another and encourage spiritual growth in our congregations and around the world.

Today, we recognize and acknowledge the universal blessing of God’s love for us and we share this blessing with everyone whom we interact with as we go about our daily affairs.

There is nothing to fear; God loves you.

Miracles represent freedom from fear. “Atoning” means “undoing.” The undoing of fear is an essential part of the Atonement value of miracles. T-1.1.26:1-3

There is nothing to fear because God loves you unconditionally. It is the undoing of our fear of God’s wrath for our separation from God which is the meaning of atonement. All it takes is a choice for the world of the spirit instead of the world of the ego. Jesus taught that the way to the kingdom is to “love as I have loved.” As kids say, “Easy peasy.”

In Alcoholic Anonymous it is suggested, in step eleven, that we improve our conscious contact with God through prayer and meditation. This is a choice we have and actions we take. Do it or not, God is always there for us. All we have to do is listen.

In Unitarian Universalism we covenant together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning and this search takes us ultimately to the unconditional love of God which is found within us in our hearts as our natural inheritance once we get past the fear. When we do this, it seems like a miracle.

Today, we bypass the fear deep in our hearts to find the unconditional love of God which the Universalists have taught is there if we pay attention to it. Setting aside the fear we find the love of God which is our natural inheritance.

We can accept our natural inheritance whenever we are ready.

Miracles are part of an interlocking chain of forgiveness which, when completed, is the Atonement. Atonement works all the time and in all the dimensions of time. T-1.1.25:1-2

The miracle is the shift in perception from the world of the ego to the world of the spirit (love). This shift in perception occurs when we forgive, that is, we decide to give up making other people and circumstances responsible for our unhappiness. When we forgive we become one with the Oneness from which we separated ourselves at our incarnation and this re-integration, giving up our separation is what the Course calls the “Atonement.” The atonement works all the time and in all the dimensions of time because that is the only thing that is real. The atonement is all that ever was in the first place. What we have created in the world of the ego is bull shit and merely an illusion. The problem arises when we forget the Ground of Our Being and think that what we have created is real when ultimately it is not but will simply pass away sooner or later. As it says in the introduction to the Course, “Nothing real can be threatened and nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.”

In Alcoholic Anonymous it is suggested, in step three, that we turn our willfulness and our lives over to the care of God. In other words, it is suggested that we recognize and acknowledge the Tao and go with the flow.

In Unitarian Universalism, we join together to affirm and promote the respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. This respect comes from forgiveness which recognizes and acknowledges the idols we have made and thought real. Further, this respect encourages us to become aware of the whole, not just the parts. Our awareness, then becomes holy and the atonement is realized.

Today, we are encouraged, in miracle principle 25, to recognize and acknowledge that we can be part of an interlocking chain of forgiveness which brings about an awareness of the Atonement which always was, is now, and ever will be. All we have to do is give up our worship of idols in the world of the ego and realize the Unconditional Love of God which is our natural inheritance.
