Overview

Relationships give us our best moments . . . and also our worst. From Loving One to One Love: Transforming Relationships Through A Course in Miracles is not another how-to-fix-it guide to relationships. The Course's take on relationships is radically different from that of the rest of the world. Relationships are not really about love if by love we mean idealization and specialness. They are not merely agreements negotiated between two parties to promote survival and contentment. Rather, according to the Course, relationships are classrooms for enlightenment: for breaking the ego's grip on the mind and awakening to the true Self. Seen in this light, we don't get love from a partner nor do we have to give up anything in order to get it. We don't hunt for it out there in the world. The love comes first, from within, and then infuses all of our relationships, changing their purpose from egoic specialness to holiness. In order to be open to such love, however, we must do the work that the Course calls forgiveness. We release our judgments and grievances about others in the understanding that by freeing them we free ourselves. The result is love beyond anything we can imagine: a universal experience of love that's not limited to any one special person or group but shines on all alike.

Author Information

Robert Rosenthal, MD, is copresident of the Foundation for Inner Peace, the authorized publisher of A Course in Miracles. He was introduced to the Course in 1975 at the age of twenty by Judy Skutch Whitson and became a close friend and protege of its coscribe, Bill Thetford. His first book, From Plagues to Miracles: The Transformational Journey of Exodus, From the Slavery of Ego to the Promised Land of Spirit, reinterprets the biblical story of Moses and Pharaoh as a parable of the spiritual journey: the mind's struggle to escape ego and identify once again with Spirit, guided by miracles. He has written many articles on different aspects of the Course and is a popular speaker at Course-related events and online forums. Dr. Rosenthal is a retired board-certified psychiatrist and psychotherapist with over thirty years' experience helping individuals and couples. He is also a novelist (under the pseudonym Simon Seth Reede) and screenwriter. Emily Durante has been narrating audiobooks for over ten years and is also an AudioFile Earphones Award-winning audiobook director. She has been acting since the age of seven and has performed in a number of stage productions at the professional, collegiate, and regional levels.
