Look for the Divine Spark of their soul which is within them.


Yet all loss comes only from your own misunderstanding. Loss of any kind is impossible. But when you look upon a brother as a physical entity, his power and glory are “lost” to you and so are yours. You have attacked him, but you must have attacked yourself first. Do not see him this way for your own salvation, which must bring him his. Do not allow him to belittle himself in your mind, but give him freedom from his belief in littleness, and thus escape from yours. As part of you, he is holy. As part of me, you are. To communicate with part of God Himself is to reach beyond the Kingdom to its Creator, through His Voice which He has established as part of you. T-8.VII.5:1-9

When we perceive ourselves and others simply as bodies we misunderstand who we and they really are: souls which are part of their creator which some people call “God.”


In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person who is imbued with the holiness of their creator. God doesn’t make junk.


Today it is suggested that we look past the bodies of people we meet and look for the Divine Spark of their soul which is within them.
