The unhealed healer wants gratitude from his brothers, but he is not grateful to them. That is because he thinks he is giving something to them, and is not receiving something equally desirable in return. T-7.V.7:1-2
A Course in Miracles (p. 255). Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition.
It is a common understanding in A Course In Miracles that a person learns what they teach, and they receive what they give. These teachings seem paradoxical in the world of the ego, but in the Kingdom of God they make perfect sense when a person realizes that we all are one. In other words what you give to another you give to yourSelf and what you teach to another, you learn yourSelf.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote justice, equity, and compassion in our human relations. When you realize that each one of us is a drop of the ocean, a part of the whole, could it be any other way?
Today it is suggested that we be grateful for what we teach and give to others for that is how we learn and receive.
