This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time.

There are many resources to nurture one’s interior spiritual life. A Course in Miracles is one of them. Having been born, life is a required course and we can learn from it or not. Socrates said that an unexamined life is not worth living. How many people do you know that live examined lives?
Some people learn from their experience some of the time, and some people do not learn from their experience some of the time, but when people become highly stressed and have hit bottom they sometimes start to search for a better way to live their lives and they begin a search. When a person wonders if there is a better way, it is called “the dawning.” It dawns on them that there might be a better way to live. This dawning then leads to the second phase which is called “the search”.
In Unitarian Universalism one of the seven principles is the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. Once one decides to embark on the search for truth and meaning and live an examined life, the interior spiritual life begins in an intentional and significant way. Welcome, along on our journey on Nurturing One’s Interior Spiritual Life. What has brought you here?
