All who believe in separation have a basic fear of retaliation and abandonment. They believe in attack and rejection, so that is what they perceive and teach and learn. These insane ideas are clearly the result of dissociation and projection. What you teach you are, but it is quite apparent that you can teach wrongly, and can therefore teach yourself wrong. Many thought I was attacking them, even though it was apparent I was not. An insane learner learns strange lessons. T-6.V.B.1:1-6
A Course in Miracles (p. 235). Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition.
In A Course In Miracles there is the concept of “special relationships.” Special relationships are an illusion and the work of the ego. One type of special relationship is the hate relationship. These are relationships in which a person is invested in hating another they perceive as an enemy who is a threat to something the person holds dear. The Course teaches that this fear is insane because ultimately there is no threat to the unconditional love of God. This is the lesson Jesus was teaching when he was attacked and killed by people who felt threatened by his teaching.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the acceptance of one another and the encouragement to spiritual growth. The application of this principle involves rising about the “give to get” dynamic of the ego and emanates from the unconditional love which passes through us from our Transcendent Source.
Today it is suggested that we bypass the conditional special relating and intend to love unconditionally.
