The special relationship is totally meaningless without a body. If you value it, you must also value the body. And what you value you will keep. The special relationship is a device for limiting your self to a body, and for limiting your perception of others to theirs.
The Holy Spirit asks only this little help of you: Whenever your thoughts wander to a special relationship which still attracts you, enter with Him into a holy instant, and there let Him release you. He needs only your willingness to share His perspective to give it to you completely. And your willingness need not be complete because His is perfect. It is His task to atone for your unwillingness by His perfect faith, and it is His faith you share with Him there. Out of your recognition of your unwillingness for your release, His perfect willingness is given you. Call upon Him, for Heaven is at His Call. And let Him call on Heaven for you. (A Course in Miracles, T-16.VI.4:1-4;12. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
Many times throughout the Course we are told that we are not a body. Together as Spirit, we are God’s one Son. When we respond or react to a brother’s words or actions, we are reacting to an image that is an illusion hiding the Son of God from our awareness. We react to what another body does because we believe we are a body. The undoing of this mistaken belief is the foundation of all miracles.
As we are willing to open our minds to the Holy Spirit’s perspective as our reference for seeing, we free ourselves from the limitations of the body. This is how we make our transition from the fake world made by belief in separation to the real world that sees only the Light of Love as real.
Holy Spirit, guide our mind today to see as you see. We are willing to see anew. Help our unwillingness that we may accept your gift of Heaven.
