TGOG 2024; 8-11; TEXT 22; SEC I; INTRODUCTION

Salvation and the Holy Relationship is the new Chapter 22 we start today. The Introduction points out how much we have enslaved ourselves to the belief in "sin." We feel limited and guilty within ourselves, but project it onto others through blame and condemnation to try to "get rid of it." All the thoughts of the ego are the same. Though "sin" is the same mistake in everyone, everyone makes up his own "version" of it to make it "real." It is the Holy Relationship that is introduced here. An unholy relationship is based on differences and lack. Each person in the relationship thinks the "other" has something that he has not. Each person feels a lack in himself that another would complete, because he thinks he is not whole, and someone else can complete him. The holy Relationship is the answer. Two people Happy and Whole come together to share their light. There is no lack. God created us whole and complete already.
