Love has no object. So, you could say that
what we would call partnerships and so on and so forth are just still symbols, dream symbols
that the Spirit can use
towards opening up your heart or opening up towards your purpose.
You know the Holy Spirit uses relationships to
inspire and to bless and to
open up to
being used in the plan or being used by the Holy Spirit.
Remember the Holy Spirit's sole
function for the body is communication.
When there's a sense of falling in love in this world there's a sense of, you know a swirl of
this feeling of love and joy and happiness, you know and
this feeling of connection, and the Holy Spirit does use what the ego made,
to take the mind, we could say that's sleeping, into higher and higher states of consciousness
towards, Holy Relationship.
But Holy Relationship, really as you go deeper into it and deeper toward it, you start to realize that it's really
reflective of our relationship with God, it's really not interpersonal.
God is no respecter of persons.
The rules of the world, the ego tells you how to be in relationship.
You know, don't say this and don't do this and don't hurt their feelings and
you know, put on a good face and make a good impression this and this
but when you really join together in purpose, that's kind of symbolic of wanting to go back
to the One, we'll say Who really knows your greatest good. The Holy Spirit always knows in any
circumstance, in any situation, what's most truly helpful
and that, is really what we're joining in you know, words are pretty crude communication devices.
You might remember the Gloria Estefan song?
[singing]: "The words get in the way."
They're very crude, but the Holy Spirit will use what the ego made, so the Holy Spirit uses the words.
But it still comes down to what is the purpose?
Like Jesus says that in the Course, in the workbook, he says
"it seems like a phone is for reaching somebody who's not in your proximity."
But he said, that's the purpose of a phone to reach somebody who's not in our proximity. But then he says,
"The real question is what do I want to reach them for?" You see how he's leaping it up off the
linear time-space continuum up to, what is the purpose?
And just think about that. When you're calling somebody on the phone, isn't that a higher order question?
You know, do you want to get something from somebody?
Do you want to chew somebody out? Do you want to make guilty?
Or is it a call of inspiration and blessing?
Oh that's a world of a difference there because,
it's the motive the motivation for the call is really what, what it's always about.
In other words the Holy Spirit can use many forms. The Holy Spirit doesn't look like one thing.
The Holy Spirit isn't male or female. The Holy Spirit isn't young or old and doesn't have this form or that form;
It's just this Presence that can use the symbols of the world.
It could be angels, it could be friends.
You could call them mighty companions.
It just takes you higher, just gives you a really good context for things, so no matter what specific
circumstances you seem to be dealing with in your life,
you start to go hmm, wow how cool,
that I can actually take the care and attentiveness to go inside
and really start to get in touch with my motives.
