The choice of distress or peace.


To heal, then, is to correct perception in your brother and yourself by sharing the Holy Spirit with him. This places you both within the Kingdom, and restores its wholeness in your mind. This reflects creation, because it unifies by increasing and integrates by extending. What you project or extend is real for you. This is an immutable law of the mind in this world as well as in the Kingdom. T-7.II.2:1-5

A Course in Miracles (p. 246). Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition. 


What is being referred to above by “the Holy Spirit” is unconditional love as contrasted with conditional love. The way of the world is based on conditional love while the Kingdom is based on unconditional love. When you perceive others with unconditional love the Kingdom of God is extended and integrated.


In Unitarian Universalism there is the unique belief in unconditional love. This belief is foundational to the Universalist faith.


Today it is suggested that mindfulness of the kind of perception being used is key to the choice between distress and peace.
