Day 17: Holy Relationship

The holy relationship. If you are familiar with A Course in Miracles you might recognize the concept of it. But to give a short statement of what a holy relationship is, listen. A relationship recognized by two or more, released of any human ideas about relationships, experienced in in the moment, in unity, coming from Source. In other words it has no human purpose any longer, only recognition and (momentary consciously) abiding in Communication.

T 17 F 2. The holy relationship is a phenomenal teaching accomplishment.In all its aspects, as it begins, develops, and becomes accomplished, it represents the REVERSAL of the unholy relationship. Be comforted in this; The ONLY difficult phase is the beginning. For here, the GOAL of the relationship is abruptly shifted to the EXACT OPPOSITE of what it was. 

In other words a very practical way of letting your relationships be transformed. A shift in purpose of the relationships.

This is the FIRST result of OFFERING the relationship to the Holy Spirit, to use for HIS purposes. This invitation is ACCEPTED IMMEDIATELY, and the Holy Spirit wastes no time in introducing the practical results of asking Him to enter. AT ONCE, HIS goal REPLACES yours.

To see this occur, speaking from my own experience can be quite confusing, to adjust to this new way of relating, but it makes your relationship FREE and REAL.

T 17 F 3. This is accomplished very rapidly. But it makes the relationship seem disturbed, disjunctive and even quite distressing. The reason is quite clear. For the relationship, AS IT IS, is out of line with its own goal, and clearly unsuited to the purpose which has been ACCEPTED for it. In its UNholy condition, YOUR goal was all that SEEMED to give it meaning. 

The old way of relating to one another suddenly makes no sense and now, hang in there let the chance occur, it will be so worth it. Your old ways are gone, believe me…

Now, it seems to make NO sense. Many relationships have been broken off at this point, and the pursuit of the old goal re‐established in ANOTHER relationship. For, once the unholy relationship has ACCEPTED the goal of holiness, it can never again be what it was.

What an incredible gift if you allow this to happen. No more conflict, no more controlling, dependency, blaming , possessiveness, shaming, and … Now there is peace in your relationship. It is aligned in Purpose.
