Letting Our Problems Be Resolved

In quietness are all things answered, and is every problem quietly resolved. ²In conflict there can be no answer and no resolution, for its purpose is to make no resolution possible, and to ensure no answer will be plain. ³A problem set in conflict has no answer, for it is seen in different ways. ⁴And what would be an answer from one point of view is not an answer in another light. ⁵You are in conflict. ⁶Thus it must be clear you cannot answer anything at all, for conflict has no limited effects. ⁷Yet 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. ²Yet it must also be that, in your state of mind, solution is impossible. ³Therefore, God must have given you a way of reaching to another state of mind in which the answer is already there. ⁴Such is the holy instant. ⁵It is here that all your problems should be brought and left. ⁶Here they belong, for here their answer is. ⁷And where its answer is, a problem must be simple and be easily resolved. ⁸It must be pointless to attempt to solve a problem where the answer cannot be. ⁹Yet just as surely it must be resolved, if it is brought to where the answer is.

Attempt to solve no problems but within the holy instant’s surety. ²For there the problem _will_ be answered and resolved. (A Course in Miracles, T-27.IV.1:1–3:2. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

The ego thrives in conflict. It does not want any problem to be truly resolved, never to return. To protect its domain, the ego keeps our mind cluttered with attempts to resolve problems that will not work.

But we can train our mind to step back from conflict. When we let our mind return to a peaceful state, it is open to seeing from the Holy Spirit’s point of view, which sees only the oneness of Love. His vision shows that where we thought there were differences, the reality of Love’s oneness remains unaffected. In quiet the perception of differences fades and our unity with Creation is seen as our Reality.

With consistent practice, we can learn to easily pause to let our mind return to peace. In that instant we let the Holy Spirit’s inspiration show us that our perceived problem has been resolved.
