Does A Course in Miracles Teach That I Desire a Holy Relationship in Order to Awaken?

[Jhon Dolton]

I do want to ask you in what A Course in Miracles means by Holy Relationship. In one single the main book it discusses "entering the ark" together, and it almost sounds as though you will need an added specific person in order to awaken what is a course in miracles. Therefore, I believe I approach each new person with the expectation that maybe THIS could be the relationship that reflects enlightenment in my experience, and I to them! Am I taking this too literally? Or do you really have to have another to assist you awaken?

I appreciate your time so much and many thanks for your help in my experience and others. I many thanks and I thank God for you. Namaste.

David Hoffmeister: Thanks for your 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 human body and the planet are always the focus of ego's perspective, for this seeks to create real problems and struggles on earth 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 it is possible to create an identity which God did not create. The ego is this identity problem and it was Answered or forgiven by the Holy Spirit the instant it appeared to arise. That one problem could be described as an authority problem or even a confusion in who's 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 that it can create itself. This ego mind also thinks it is in competition with God, although this really 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 fantastic example of the unveiling.
