Look for the good, the true and the beautiful in others to find them in ourselves.


It is strengthened by being given away. It increases in you as you give it to your brother. Your brother does not have to be aware of the Holy Spirit in himself or in you for this miracle to occur. He may have dissociated the Call for God, just as you have. This dissociation is healed in both of you as you become aware of the Call for God in him, and thus acknowledge Its being. T-5.III.2: 6 - 10

A Course in Miracles . Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition. 


Unitarian Universalists covenant together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. When you see inherent worth and dignity  in your brother and sister, you become more aware of it in yourself.


A Course In Miracles says that we learn what we teach, we receive what we share. The Spiritual world is not a zero sum game, but one of abundance. It does not operate on the principle of division but on the principle of multiplication.


Today, it is suggested that we look for the good, the true, and beautiful in others and in so doing we become more aware of their existence in ourselves.

The Divine Spark In Every Person


The way to recognize your brother is by recognizing the Holy Spirit in him. T-5.III.1: 1

A Course in Miracles . Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition. 


Peace Pilgrim said that she looked for the Divine Spark in every person she met. What a great way to live.


In Unitarian Universalism we join together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person.


Today, took for the Divine Spark in every person you meet and if so moved, acknowledge it in some way.

Does Love motivate your behavior?


I have enjoined you to behave as I behaved, but we must respond to the same Mind to do this. This Mind is the Holy Spirit, Whose Will is for God always. He teaches you how to keep me as the model for your thought, and to behave like me as a result.T-5.II.12: 1 - 3

A Course in Miracles . Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition. 


Jesus is clear in this passage in saying that we should behave as he behaved. Waking up is not just a matter of thoughts and feelings, waking up is manifested in behavior. The behavior is motivated by the Mind which provides a model for how Love is physically enacted.


In Unitarian Universalism we covenant together to affirm and promote justice, equity, and compassion in human relations. UUs are encouraged to make these values manifest in the world. This is what Jesus did.


Today, it is suggested that we monitor our behavior and guide it by Love.

We have a simple choice between the ego and Spirit.


When you are tempted by the wrong voice, call on me to remind you how to heal by sharing my decision and making it stronger. As we share this goal, we increase its power to attract the whole Sonship, and to bring it back into the oneness in which it was created. Remember that “yoke” means “join together,” and “burden” means “message.” Let us restate “My yoke is easy and my burden light” in this way; “Let us join together, for my message is light.”

A Course in Miracles . Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition. T-5.II.11: 1 - 4


We are reminded in this paragraph of A Course In Miracles that we have a choice: ego or Spirit. Ego is about conditional love and Spirit is about unconditional love. Jesus chose Unconditional Love and demonstrated that this choice is possible living in the world of the ego.


In Unitarian Universalism we join together to affirm and promote justice, equity, and compassion in human relations. Jesus taught that this joining with others is easy and the message of Unconditional Love brings light into the world.


Today, it is suggested that we remind ourselves of our choice between the ego and Spirit and we can ask ourselves continually “What would love have me do?”

Wake up and love whoever crosses your path.


Rest does not come from sleeping but from waking. The Holy Spirit is the Call to awaken and be glad. The world is very tired, because it is the idea of weariness. Our task is the joyous one of waking it to the Call for God. Everyone will answer the Call of the Holy Spirit, or the Sonship cannot be as One. What better vocation could there be for any part of the Kingdom than to restore it to the perfect integration that can make it whole? Hear only this through the Holy Spirit within you, and teach your brothers to listen as I am teaching you. T-5.II.10: 4 - 10

A Course in Miracles . Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition. 


The Integral philosophers describe “growing up,” and “waking up.” Growing up is the biological process of maturing and “waking up” is related to an elevation of consciousness. As human beings we grow up during our life cycle, but waking up is induced by our cultural and individual curiosity. Jesus woke up and asks us to join him by following his example in the waking up process. Jesus tells us that we all have a calling for God and the Holy Spirit calls to us to awaken but it’s up to us whether we choose to get out of bed. If we choose to get out of bed it is suggested that we ask our brothers and sisters to awaken and get out of bed and join us.


In Unitarian Universalism we join together to affirm and promote the acceptance of one another and the encouragement to spiritual growth.


Today, it is suggested that we choose to enter the path of waking up. We do this by practicing loving one another. Who should I love? Whoever crosses your path today.

The light of the world.



I have assured you that the Mind that decided for me is also in you, and that you can let it change you just as it changed me. This Mind is unequivocal, because it hears only one Voice and answers in only one way. You are the light of the world with me. T-5.II.10: 1 - 3


A Course in Miracles . Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition. 


Jesus tells us that we are the light of the world along with him because we can join with him in listening to the Voice of the Mind which animates all of Creation.


In Unitarian Universalism we covenant together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. This search takes us eventually to the Mind of Creation. It is called the “light of the world.”


Today, it is suggested that we stop our business and look within for the Light of the Word. Jesus taught us that the way is “to love as I have loved.”

We have a choice to make: God or ego?



My mind will always be like yours, because we were created as equals. It was only my decision that gave me all power in Heaven and earth. My only gift to you is to help you make the same decision. This decision is the choice to share it, because the decision itself is the decision to share. It is made by giving, and is therefore the one choice that resembles true creation. I am your model for decision. By deciding for God I showed you that this decision can be made, and that you can make it. T-5.II.9: 1 - 7


A Course in Miracles . Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition. 


The Jesus of A Course In Miracles tells us that we are just like him. He came to teach us to make the decision for God instead of the ego. He asks us to share this decision for God and not the ego with others. Jesus tells us that making the decision for God resembles true creation. This decision for God facilitates the development of our spiritual intelligence which has beneficial consequences for us and those we interact with.


In Unitarian Universalism we join together to affirm and promote the acceptance of one another and the encouragement to spiritual growth.


Today, it is suggested that we be aware of our choice to decide for God or the ego. When we choose God we release an energy which is creative for ourselves and others. In doing so we demonstrate that we have learned the lesson that Jesus intended to teach us by modeling the possibility.
