Relationships signify our spiritual health

From Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:
“Relationships signify our spiritual health.”


“We are in relationships with many people. Each relationship foretells the degree of our connection to God. We may feel more comfortable in one relationship than another; however, if we are not peaceful in one of them, we are not peaceful in any, even those that seem fun and easy.”

“But just as the weakness of one relationship signifies the weakness of all of them, wholly mending just one also heals them all, in an instant. The Course teaches that there is only one relationship. This relationship has simply taken many forms.”

“Looking beyond the characteristics of a single relationship to the spirit that abides within it allows us to join with everyone in love and gratitude. We will not feel tense. We will not entertain conflict when we appreciate the inner holiness of us all.”

“I only have to mend one relationship today for all of them to be healed.
Surely that’s possible.”


There is no stimulus like that which comes from the consciousness of knowing that others believe in us Orison Sweet Marden
