God’s Teacher speaks to any two who join together for learning purposes. The relationship is holy because of that purpose, and God has promised to send His Spirit into any holy relationship. In the teaching-learning situation, each one learns that giving and receiving are the same. The demarcations they have drawn between their roles, their minds, their bodies, their needs, their interests, and all the differences they thought separated them from one another, fade and grow dim and disappear. (A Course in Miracles M-2.5:3-6)
There is only one meaningful lesson to learn — Only Love is real. It is in learning this lesson that we recognize that there is truly no difference between us. When we meet another in the world, it does not seem that there is no difference between us at the level of form. But when we are willing to let our inner Teacher show us the Reality beyond the form of that seeming “other,” this meeting becomes an opportunity to recognize our holiness. As we see the holiness in our brother with the Holy Spirit’s help, we learn of our own holiness. Giving and receiving are the same.
When we allow ourselves to accept Holy Spirit’s vision of a brother, it is a joyful experience, free of conflict and infused with Love. These moments bring a hint of Heaven. They are so enriching that they motivate the ongoing practice of asking Holy Spirit’s help to be our Interpreter in each moment. With this practice, each moment can be a holy encounter in which our shared innocence is recognized. What a joyful lesson to learn.
