"Transformation is the process of healing your separation from love. No matter how many blessings you have in your life if you are missing your connection to the infinite source of love, you will feel empty, alone and finite."    Lency Spezzano

"Let us be still an instant, and forget all things we ever learned, all thoughts we had, and every preconception that we hold of what things mean and what their purpose is. Let us remember not our own ideas of what the world is for. We do not know. Let every image held of everyone be loosened from our minds and swept away."    A Course in Miracles, text, 602-3

"The choice for healing is often made more difficult by the law's preoccupation with "rights" ... When we focus on our rights it is easy to think about our interests as being separate from those of others, and to think that someone else may be taking away what is "ours" ... If someone seems to intrude on our rights, we have a tendency to judge. We may emphasize loss and think of ourselves as being attacked. If so, we may feel inclined to attack back, failing to recognize that, in attacking others, we attack ourselves and deny ourselves the peace that comes with healing."    Seeing Law Differently, by Alan Reid, Borderland Publishing, 1992 p. 57

It is possible to see any situation differently if we are committed to healing. The key seems to be the transformation of the idea of "fault" into the concept of "error". In other words we recognize that anyone can make a mistake and it is easier to forgive a mistake than an action which we perceive as a deliberate fault or "sin". I may wish to be compensated for a loss which I suffered as a result of someone else's mistake but I do not need to see it as an issue of "moral blame".

"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." Albert Einstein

"To give practical content to that thought in a legal context, I can remind myself that the law's function is not to force, or even to to invite, me to make value judgments about my neighbour. To the extent that the law and my use of it expresses values, those values can reflect love and healing, rather than fear and guilt. ... I can take responsibility for my own use of the law and legal process. ... I have the choice to see someone's "fault" as moral blameworthiness, or as a mistake that can be corrected. ... As long as I choose to see the law and the legal system as a play about fault, it will only strengthen my commitment to judging, attacking and controlling others. To look at law differently is to open to the possibility that no matter what test the law may impose as the standard of liability it neither requires, nor warrants judgment."    Seeing Law Differently, by Alan Reid, Borderland Publishing, 1992 p. 70
