Opening to the Holy Instant

The holy instant is your invitation to love to enter into your bleak and joyless kingdom, and to transform it into a garden of peace and welcome. Love’s answer is inevitable. It will come because you came without the body, and interposed no barriers to interfere with its glad coming. In the holy instant, you ask of love only what it offers everyone, neither less nor more. Asking for everything, you will receive it.

Receive it now of Him, for He would have you know Him. Only a little wall of dust still stands between you and your brother. Blow on it lightly and with happy laughter, and it will fall away. And walk into the garden love has prepared for both of you.” (A Course in Miracles, T-18.VIII.11:1-5;13:5-8. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

The holy instant is a time free of conflict because we have been willing to set aside our judgments, if only for a moment. It is our judgments that make separation seem real. When we are willing to set them aside we welcome the loving vision of Christ, which shows us only the unity of Love.

In that instant, the sense of being separate and alone fades away and we welcome our brother as the Love he is. The body no longer dominates our attention. We no longer identify our brother with the body. Instead, we experience the joy of Heaven’s oneness.

Today we practice stepping back from judgment and welcoming the vision of Love that joins us together in the center of peace.
