Would you extend healing or fear?


 Fear does not gladden. Healing does. Fear always makes exceptions. Healing never does. Fear produces dissociation, because it induces separation. Healing always produces harmony, because it proceeds from integration. It is predictable because it can be counted on. Everything that is of God can be counted on, because everything of God is wholly real. T-7.V.6:1-7

One way of understanding the above passage is to define “healing” as unconditional love. Fear is based on conditional love because conditional implies the threat of loss.


In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. This perception of every person’s inherent worth and dignity is based on unconditional love and the expression of unconditional love is always healing.


Today it is suggested that we engage in unconditional love which is healing instead of conditional love which engenders fears.
