My ACIM study group has been reading about the little willingness, and as happens often, it is like I have never read it before. It’s not new information, but it hits me differently this time. It begins by telling us that the holy instant is the result of our determination to be holy. It reminds us that only our willingness is needed, and in fact, to do more will interfere with the Holy Spirit’s part. I used to wonder how it was that I interfered, but that was because I just couldn’t believe that my desire for awakening was enough. Surely, I had a lot of work to do. I couldn’t just sit back and expect the miracle to awaken me. It felt irresponsible of me to do less. Now I see that this was just the ego trying to stay in the game. In reality, doing less is precisely what I am to do. For example, when I feel afraid, I know it is because I am holding onto the past. I tried to think of a fear that isn’t about the past, but I couldn’t find one. I wasted time yesterday, and this morning I regretted it. Why? Because in the past, I’ve run out of time to finish all my tasks, and so I fear it will happen again. If I accept that the past is gone and focus only on the present, I would have simply enjoyed the moment, and now I would have no regrets — only a pleasant feeling. https://www.pathwaysoflight.org/index.php/Miracles_News/full_article/12971
