Healing only strengthens. Magic always tries to weaken. Healing perceives nothing in the healer that everyone else does not share with him. Magic always sees something “special” in the healer, which he believes he can offer as a gift to someone who does not have it. He may believe that the gift comes from God to him, but it is quite evident that he does not understand God if he thinks he has something that others lack. T-7.V.4:1-5

The ego wants us to believe we are special. A drop of the ocean is like every other drop. Our essence is what we have in common, not what makes us different. We are all part of God, our Transcendent Source.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. There is nothing special in any one of us about this since we are all parts of the whole. We are holy.
Today it is suggested that we drop the pretense that we are special and look for what we have in common with everyone with whom we interact.
