Does A Course in Miracles Teach That I Require a Holy Relationship in Order to Awaken? from Hander cholpan's blog
I want to ask you about what A Course in Miracles means by Holy Relationship. In one the main book it covers "entering the ark" together, and it almost sounds like you will need an added specific person to be able to awaken. Therefore, I think I approach each new person with the expectation that maybe THIS might be the connection that reflects enlightenment to me, and I to them! Am I taking this too literally? Or do you really have to have another to help you awaken?
I appreciate your own time so much and many thanks for the help to me and others. I many thanks and I thank God for you. Namaste.
David Hoffmeister: Thanks for the openness and your willingness to appear deeply at what is underneath these topics and issues a course in miracles. A Course in Miracles teaches that the split mind contains both the situation (the ego) and the Solution (the Holy Spirit). When they are brought together, only One remains.
Your body and the planet are usually the focus of ego's perspective, because of it seeks to produce 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 merchandise of identity confusion, an outpicturing of the belief that it's possible to produce 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. That one problem might be described as an authority problem or a confusion in who's the author of Reality. Your brain that believes in the fact of the time-space cosmos has a get a handle on issue, because of it 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.
