Synopsis

What are relationships for? The answer might not be what you think. Cindy Lora-Renard explains the purpose, process, and practice of shifting from identifying with the false self or ego to the true Self, so that all the relationships in one’s life serve a holy purpose. Specifically focusing on romantic relationships, Cindy further discusses the difference between traditional marriage and spiritual partnership, ultimately leading the reader to the understanding that the goal is not merely to become one with another individual, but to remember your oneness with God. Forgiveness is explored as the roadmap to the holy relationship, encouraging the reader to awaken from the dream of separation. When this happens, the need to hold onto past grievances and judgments vanishes, healing all relationships and accepting oneself as already whole and complete. Personal examples, exercises, and stories are shared to deepen the spiritual practice of shifting the purpose of relationships from being influenced by the ego to the expression of holiness.

Cindy was born in Toledo, Ohio, to two very educated and accomplished teachers. Her father, Ron Lora (now in retirement) is an award-winning History Professor who taught at the University of Toledo in Ohio. Her mother, Doris Lora (now in retirement) was a highly respected Music Professor at the same University, who later changed careers and received her Ph.D. in Psychology. Both continue to remain very active in their communities.
 
When Cindy was 17 she moved out to Los Angeles, California with her mother where she still resides. She started on a spiritual path in her early 20's, going through the spiritual buffet line until she encountered A Course in Miracles, which became her chosen path. She eventually met and fell in love with her husband, Gary Renard, also a prominent teacher of A Course in Miracles, and best-selling author of several books of his own. A gradual process unfolded where Cindy realized the direction her path was meant to take. She continues to enjoy her work as a writer, speaker, and facilitator of online classes with Gary, and presenting audio recordings on A Course in Miracles through her website. She loves to meet people from around the world. She likes to say, "We are all in this together."
