In this case, he is referring to the person "others", people who are not in your party/ally. Going back to what I first posted, the outer tag is the actor and the inner tag is the action. In this example, should you run into me in, let's say Port Jeuno, and we're not in party, setting this to TRUE will prevent my Speedyjim begins casting messages to appear.

Would the healing here imply that the monster is healing me? o_O
If the monster is the actor, then the inner tag is the target and the tag beyond that is the action. In this case, no, the monster isn't healing you. You're the PLD, fighting AA-EV and she's targeting you. Setting the healing tag to TRUE will prevent you from seeing her Benediction/Curing messages.
If I'm wrong (and I believe that I am not), let somebody here correct me. I hope this clears it up even more for you.
