IX. The Holy Instant and the Attraction of God, P 1
1 As the ego would limit your perception of your brothers to the body, so would the Holy Spirit release your vision and let you see the Great Rays shining from them, so unlimited that they reach to God. It is this shift to vision that is accomplished in the holy instant. Yet it is needful for you to learn just what this shift entails, so you will become willing to make it permanent. Given this willingness it will not leave you, for it is permanent. Once you have accepted it as the only perception you want, it is translated into knowledge by the part that God Himself plays in the Atonement, for it is the only step in it He understands. Therefore, in this there will be no delay when you are ready for it. God is ready now, but you are not.

The ego mind sees only with the eyes and so it sees only bodies. Our holy mind will show us what is really there, something that we can see only with the mind, not with the eyes. The Holy Spirit will release our vision and then we will see the Great Rays (the extension of the Light of God) shining from everyone. Jesus says these rays reach to God.
The Great Rays are there now, we just are not aware of them because we are intent on arresting our sight at the body. How do we get this shift of vision? It is accomplished in the holy instant, that instant in which we have chosen forgiveness instead of guilt. This shift in vision will be made permanent, as we are willing to make it the only perception we would have.
So this would mean that we would have no grievances, no attack thoughts. We would then be in the Holy Instant and in that instant God will do His part and translate perception into knowledge. What a thing that will be! The Holy Instant will be the only instant and we will know ourselves as One and as Love. We will know ourselves as part of All That Is and know ourselves as everywhere at once. What bliss that will be! I am excited to read on to see what is necessary to experience this shift so that I will be ready for it.
