From Functionalistic Willfulness to Transcendent Willingness: The Pathway to Formative Healing

by Msgr. Albert Kuuire

Msgr. Albert Kuuire explains that the formative healing of all life-threatening illness may be expedited through submission of the subject’s self-encapsulated functional will to the Transcendent Will in appreciative abandonment, which allows for the congenial unfolding of the subject’s foundational life-form. Kuuire intends in his study to do three things:

  1. to analyze the dissonant situation to which human illness may lead a person, and so prevent him or her from reaching formative healing. In this, he wishes to examine the contribution that a person’s functional will can make to this dissonant situation;
  2. to explore the interformational role which another can exert, both horizontally and especially vertically on the subject, and the dynamics that may ensue therefrom for the eventual foundationally formative healing of the person; and
  3. to study more closely the gradual shifts of the subject’s current form of life as he or she abandons him- or herself ever more fully to the Mystery of Formation in the unfolding of his or her Founding Life Form towards its fullness, made observable in the reformation and transformation of his or her core disposition of willingness.
