In our soul we are loved and okay.


I elected, for your sake and mine, to demonstrate that the most outrageous assault, as judged by the ego, does not matter. As the world judges these things, but not as God knows them, I was betrayed, abandoned, beaten, torn, and finally killed. It was clear that this was only because of the projection of others onto me, since I had not harmed anyone and had healed many. T-6.I.9:1-3

Crying is a response to reading this paragraph. It is so sad and tragic.


In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. What did Jesus ever do that was so bad that the Romans would arrest him and crucify him? His inherent worth and dignity shone forth in spite of the physical humiliation, degrading, and harm when he said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” Jesus was able to rise above the torture and execution of his physical body because his spirit was healthy. This was the point of the drama of the crucifixion, that the spirit is beyond the physical. We can choose the world of the ego or the world of the Kingdom of God.


Today it is suggested that we decide to no longer make other people and circumstances responsible for our unhappiness. We take responsibility for our own spiritual orientation and we know that in our soul we are loved and okay.
