Does A Course in Miracles Teach That I Require a Holy Relationship in Order to Awaken?
I do want to ask you about what A Course in Miracles means by Holy Relationship. In a single part of the book it covers “entering the ark” together, and it almost sounds like you'll need one other specific person in order to awaken. Therefore, I think I approach each new person with the expectation that maybe THIS could be the relationship that reflects enlightenment if you ask me, and I to them! Am I taking this too literally? Or do you really need another to help you awaken?a course in miracles
I appreciate your time so much and thanks for the help if you ask me and others. I thanks and I thank God for you. Namaste.
David Hoffmeister: Thanks for the openness and your willingness to appear deeply at what's underneath these topics and issues. A Course in Miracles teaches that the split mind contains both the situation (the ego) and the Solution (the Holy Spirit). When they're brought together, only One remains.
The body and the world are always the focus of ego's perspective, for this seeks to create real problems and struggles in the world and to prevent the inner Healing Correction of the Holy Spirit. The ego's distorted world is the item of identity confusion, an outpicturing of the belief that it's possible to create an identity which God did not create. The ego is this identity problem and it absolutely was Answered or forgiven by the Holy Spirit the instant it seemed to arise. This 1 problem could be described being an authority problem or perhaps a confusion in who is the author of Reality. Your head that believes in the fact of the time-space cosmos has a get a handle on issue, for this believes so it can create itself. This ego mind also thinks it is in competition with God, although that is pushed out of conscious awareness. This unconscious ego thought system is exposed in the A Course in Miracles Workbook lessons, and for reference Workbook Lesson 13 contains a great example of the unveiling.
