ACIM T-22.I The Message of the Holy Relationship

November 27, 2018

The healing of our relationships is the center of our wholeness. Our natural state of being is wholeness. We are unblemished, free of any sin. Any idea that says otherwise is simply mistaken and is born out of the mistaken idea that we believe we are separate from each other and from Oneness. The holiness of our relationship forgives us and our friend, undoing the effects of what we both believed and saw. When we see our relationships healed, seeing them holy once again, we return to the awareness of who we really are. This simple inner shift is our salvation. It is so simple and easy that we may wonder why we didn’t make this shift sooner. Yet, if we have delayed it, what better time is there to make this shift than now? What if we were to look toward what we share rather than our differences? It may seem small, but it opens to a vast difference.

A holy relationship starts from a different premise. Each one has looked within and seen no lack. Accepting his completion, they would extend it by joining with another, whole as themselves. They see no difference between these selves, for differences are only of the body. Therefore, they look on nothing they would take. They deny not their own reality because it is the truth. Just under Heaven do they stand, but close enough not to return to earth. For this relationship has Heaven’s Holiness. How far from home can a relationship so like to Heaven be?   T-22.in.3:1-9

This holy relationship can and will teach great things. It contains all the power of the universe. And the appearance of differences are transformed to vision where we now see what joins us rather than what divides us. Great joy rises in this transformation. Peace flows like a river throughout all the world in this transformation. Let each of us be joined in this holy relationship – the golden circle where we recognize our One Holy Self in eternity.

We discussed Reason in the previous chapter and that Reason remains within our mind protected from any distortion. Reason holds the real purpose of our relationships. It holds the remembrance of the holiness of our relationships. It holds the means by which our relationships can be transformed to their original holy nature, letting go of all the distorted values we believed they were tainted with. We have been looking through the body’s eyes, which cannot see truth. We have denied our Vision which shows us our relationships transformed. It shows us the truth that we are joined, not separate. It shows us the Holy nature of Oneness that we are.

Your sight was given you, along with everything that you can understand. You will perceive no difficulty in understanding what this vision tells you, for everyone sees only what they think they are. And what your sight would show you, you will understand because it is the truth. Only your vision can convey to you what you can see. It reaches you directly, without a need to be interpreted to you. What needs interpretation must be alien. Nor will it ever be made understandable by an interpreter you cannot understand.   T-22.I.5:1-7

Let this sight rise in you, for it is already yours. Let it rise in our holy relationship where we are joined as One. Truly see with the Vision that is ours for eternity. All distortion is now gone. And Holiness is seen everywhere as our Holy Vision transforms all the distortions we have ever seen in this world. Here is the simplicity of our salvation made real.
