Creating heaven and hell.

Freedom from illusions lies only in not believing them. There is no attack, but there is unlimited communication and therefore unlimited power and wholeness. The power of wholeness is extension. Do not arrest your thought in this world, and you will open your mind to creation in God.T-8.VII.16:5-8

The world of the ego is made up of projections which are illusionary. The path to truth and meaning is to rise above the illusions of the world of the ego and focus on the unconditional love of God.

In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. This means rising above the illusions of the ego perpetuated by our projections and coming to an awareness of the non dualistic Oneness.

Today it is suggested that we be careful what we wish for because in the wishing we can create heaven or hell.

What would Love have me do video.

 

What would Love have me do?

Joy is unified purpose, and unified purpose is only God’s. When yours is unified it is His. Believe you can interfere with His purpose, and you need salvation. You have condemned yourself, but condemnation is not of God. Therefore it is not true. No more are any of its seeming results. When you see a brother as a body, you are condemning him because you have condemned yourself. Yet if all condemnation is unreal, and it must be unreal since it is a form of attack, then it can have no results. T-8.VII.15:1-8

The above passage can bring one to laughter if the reader gets it. St. Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “If God is with you, who can be against you?” We use our free will to ignore God’s will for us and when we do we can be asked, “How is that working out for you?” We cannot ignore God’s will for us, which is unconditional love, forever. We think we can, but that thought is just stupid and laughable.

In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. This search ultimately comes down to discerning God’s will for us and all God’s creation.

Today, if we are attempting to know God’s will for us all we need to do is ask “What would Love have me do?” and be open and honest in listening for the answer which comes from the Holy Spirit.

Is the body for the domination and subjugation of others or for collaboration, cooperation, and the creation of harmony?

To conceive of the body as a means of attack and to believe that joy could possibly result, is a clear-cut indication of a poor learner. He has accepted a learning goal in obvious contradiction to the unified purpose of the curriculum, and one that is interfering with his ability to accept its purpose as his own. T-8.VII.14:5-6

What is the body for? It is the vehicle for communication here in the world of the ego so that people can learn from whence they came and to where they will return. The body is for unconditional love and the salvation of humankind when everybody loves everybody all the time. Using the body for attack to dominate others is not the path to peace and bliss.

In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote justice, equity, and compassion in human relations. This principle enables the development of what Buddhists call “right relationship.”

Today it is suggested that we reflect on how we use our bodies. Are they for domination and subjugation of others or for collaboration, cooperation, and the creation of harmony?

Mental and spiritual fitness.

 

What kind of shape are our mental and spiritual capacities in?

The opposite of joy is depression. When your learning promotes depression instead of joy, you cannot be listening to God’s joyous Teacher and learning His lessons. To see a body as anything except a means of communication is to limit your mind and to hurt yourself. Health is therefore nothing more than united purpose. If the body is brought under the purpose of the mind, it becomes whole because the mind’s purpose is one. Attack can only be an assumed purpose of the body, because apart from the mind the body has no purpose at all. T-8.VII.13:1-6

A Course in Miracles (pp. 300-301). Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition. 

The body is a machine which requires maintenance just like your car or other appliance. The purpose of the body is to act as a vehicle for communication. The body is used by the mind and not the other way around.

In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. This inherent worth and dignity emanates from the mind not from the body.

Today it is suggested that we consider our fitness: not our physical fitness but our mental and spiritual fitness. What kind of shape are our mental and spiritual capacities in?
