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

[Jhon Dolton]

I want to ask you in what A Course in Miracles means by Holy Relationship. In a single area of the book it talks about "entering the ark" together, and it almost sounds like you need another specific person to be able to awaken. Therefore, I think I approach each new person with the expectation that maybe THIS might be the partnership that reflects enlightenment to me, and I for them! Am I taking this too literally? Or do you really have to have another to help you awaken?

I appreciate your time so much and thanks for the help to 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 is 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 usually the focus of ego's perspective, for this seeks to make real problems and struggles on earth and to avoid the inner Healing Correction of the Holy Spirit a course in miracles. The ego's distorted world is the product of identity confusion, an outpicturing of the belief that it is possible to make an identity which God didn't create. The ego is this identity problem and it had been Answered or forgiven by the Holy Spirit the instant it appeared to arise. That one problem might be described being an authority problem or perhaps a confusion in who's the writer of Reality. The mind that believes in the reality of the time-space cosmos has a get a handle on issue, for this believes so it can produce 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 fantastic example of the unveiling.
