Stop looking for love in all the wrong places
.
God’s laws will keep your mind at peace because peace is His Will, and His laws are established to uphold it. His are the laws of freedom, but yours are the laws of bondage. Since freedom and bondage are irreconcilable, their laws cannot be understood together. The laws of God work only for your good, and there are no other laws beside His. Everything else is merely lawless and therefore chaotic. Yet God Himself has protected everything He created by His laws. Everything that is not under them does not exist. “Laws of chaos” is a meaningless term. Creation is perfectly lawful, and the chaotic is without meaning because it is without God. You have “given” your peace to the gods you made, but they are not there to take it from you, and you cannot give it to them. T-10.IV.4:1-

There is the world of God, non dual Oneness and unconditional love, and the world of the ego, separation and conditional love. The laws of God’s world provide peace and bliss and the laws of the ego provide bondage and chaos. We cannot have both and in actuality the laws of the ego do not exist but are beliefs conjured by our imaginations. The imaginary laws of the ego can never give us peace and bliss because they are not real, not being based on truth.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote justice, equity, and compassion in human relations. These are imaginary qualities in the world of the ego which are made up and are part of the laws of chaos. Compassion is based on forgiveness and forgiveness involves giving up making the world of the ego responsible for our unhappiness. Happiness will never come from the world of the ego because the world of the ego is based on illusions. Happiness can only come from turning our will over to the will of God. We would do well to stop looking for love in all the wrong places and instead turn our attention to the world of God.
