The Healing Journey of the Holy Relationship

The Holy Spirit’s purpose rests in peace within you. Yet you are still unwilling to let it join you wholly. You still oppose the Will of God, just by a little. And that little is a limit you would place upon the whole.… This little wall would hide the purpose of Heaven, and [what you would keep behind the wall] from Heaven.

To overcome the world is no more difficult than to surmount your little wall. For in the miracle of your holy relationship, without this barrier, is every miracle contained. There is no order of difficulty in miracles, for they are all the same. Each is a gentle winning over from the appeal of guilt to the appeal of love.… [The appeal of guilt] can raise no real barriers against it. And all that seems to stand between you and your brother must fall away because of the appeal [of Love] you answered.

Every miracle is but the end of an illusion. Such was the journey; such its ending. And in the goal of truth which you accepted must all illusions end. (A Course in Miracles, T-19.IV.A.3:1-4,8;5:1-4,6-7;6:8-10. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

The holy relationship is a relationship dedicated to letting go of guilt. This dedication comes from willingness to let go of guilt and welcome joining in the oneness of Love. The ego always seeks guilt because it makes separation seem real. Guilt maintains the ego in our mind. It maintains the wall behind which the ego’s world of illusions is built.

On the other side of this imagined barrier is the peace of God and the certainty of changeless Love. Because this wall is built on guilt, it is undone by forgiveness. Each illusion of guilt taken to the Holy Spirit and seen with His vision is the miracle of Love. Guilt fades away and the joy of joining in Love replaces it. This is our purpose and our journey in the holy relationship.
