Accepting Freedom Through the Holy Instant

Start now to practice your little part in separating out the holy instant. You will receive very specific instructions as you go along. To learn to separate out this single second, and to experience it as timeless, is to begin to experience yourself as not separate. Fear not that you will not be given help in this. God’s Teacher and His lesson will support your strength. It is only your weakness that will depart from you in this practice, for it is the practice of the power of God in you. Use it but for one instant, and you will never deny it again. Who can deny the Presence of what the universe bows to, in appreciation and gladness? Before the recognition of the universe that witnesses to It, your doubts must disappear. (A Course in Miracles, T-15.II.6. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

The central purpose of A Course in Miracles is to help us experience the holy instant — the moment in time when the past is forgot and the Holy present is accepted. We have taught ourselves that illusions are true and truth is illusion, leaving us confused.

But we have a Guide to lead us safely and lovingly out of the maze the ego has made. We cannot find the way out alone. But as we practice offering all our thoughts to the Holy Spirit for His translation into truth, we rise above the maze and find our way out.

We learn to recognize that no matter what appearances we may perceive in the world, we remain Love as Love created us. We rest in the peace of God. We rejoice in the gift of God’s joy. This is the gift the holy instant brings us, needing only our acceptance to be free.
