Grace:

Caroline Myss states on pages 15-16 of Invisible acts of power:

"Although it is difficult to capture its full nature in one definition, grace is unmistakable when experienced. Grace is a noun and a verb; it is a state and an action, an energy that flows between two beings. Grace is gratis, a gift. In theology, grace is defined as unmerited divine assistance, aid given to help us regenerate our spiritual lives - a virtue coming from God."

As I read this section I asked myself a fundamental question... Is slavery a form of grace in my life? I reread the section to find this:

grace is unmistakable when experienced - so is slavery
Grace is a noun and a verb - so is slavery
an energy that flows between two beings - so it is with slavery
a gift - slavery is a gift
In theology, grace is defined as unmerited divine assistance, aid given to help us regenerate our spiritual lives - a virtue coming from God." - Okay! here is where it gets hard... but then again... slavery has been a great assistant to guide me back to my spiritual life...

So do I see slavery as grace? yes I do!
