The holy instant is the shining example, the clear and unequivocal demonstration of the meaning of every relationship and every situation, seen as a whole. …It is a situation of perfect peace, simply because you have let it be what it is.
This simple courtesy is all the Holy Spirit asks of you. Let truth be what it is. Do not intrude upon it, do not attack it, do not interrupt its coming. Let it encompass every situation and bring you peace. Not even faith is asked of you, for truth asks nothing. Let [truth] enter, and it will call forth and secure for you the faith you need for peace. But rise you not against it, for against your opposition it cannot come. (A Course in Miracles, T-17.VIII.1:4,6;2. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
Perception is selective. Perception is an ego device used to filter out what it does not want and allow awareness only of what confirms belief in separation. Thus everything we perceive in the world is not seen as a whole because it denies the truth that only the oneness of Love is real. The ego’s special relationships single out situations as different, denying the universality of Love.
The holy instant is a moment of acceptance of truth. In that instant, Love is accepted as what It is, with no differences and no limits. We accept the Holy Spirit’s call to truth. Because Love is true and nothing else is true, accepting truth brings peace with it. Love is one so there can be no conflict in It.
Today we choose to accept the Holy Spirit’s true perception in place of the ego’s perceptions that deny truth. We choose the Holy Spirit’s vision because we want to experience the peace of God. We want to accept the our true Self that God created as His Son.
