Opening to True Inspiration

In quietness are all things answered, and is every problem quietly resolved. …If God gave an answer there must be a way in which your problems are resolved, for what He wills already has been done.

Thus it must be that time is not involved and every problem can be answered now. Yet it must also be that, in your state of mind, solution is impossible. Therefore, God must have given you a way of reaching to another state of mind in which the answer is already there. Such is the holy instant. It is here that all your problems should be brought and left.

Attempt to solve no problems in a world from which the answer has been barred. But bring the problem to the only place that holds the answer lovingly for you. Here are the answers that will solve your problems because they stand apart from them, and see what can be answered; what the question is. Within the world the answers merely raise another question, though they leave the first unanswered. In the holy instant, you can bring the question to the answer, and receive the answer that was made for you. (A Course in Miracles, T-27.IV.1:1,7;2:1-5;7:1-5. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

The vast majority of everyone’s time is spent in attempting to solve problems. Yet no worldly answer to any problem is accepted by everyone as right. In a world of separation, conflict is the name of the game. If we want to solve problems, we cannot look to the source of the problem for the answer. The ego thought system of separation can solve no problem because separation is the source of the problem.

We must seek another state of mind outside the belief in separation. This state of mind is the holy instant, found in peace. When conflict is recognized, the first step is to pause and quiet our minds. Then ask to receive insight from inner Inspiration for a new way to perceive the “problem.”

The source of Inspiration is within us all and is available to everyone. We need only be willing to open to a peaceful state of mind. In that instant we can receive an answer that resolves the seeming conflict in our minds. Today we practice stepping back, going within and opening to true Inspiration.
