Transformation in the form of the holy instant is the experience of Heaven, yet it cannot be forced on our mind. We must learn to be willing to allow our mind to be open. Time is used by Spirit to help us learn to be willing to allow Spirit to guide us. Spirit gives us the holy instant as we release ourselves and each other from the limits we have placed on ourselves and each other. In reality we are One, so we must be willing to allow our minds to accept that we are One or at least to open to the idea that we may be One. There are times we have each experienced connection with others that go beyond the physical. We have each experienced times when all seems aligned and in perfect order where all feels right and good for that moment. We are not strangers to these instants but have not recognized them as holy. They occur naturally as the result of miracles that occur naturally.

You will never give this holy instant to the Holy Spirit on behalf of your release while you are unwilling to give it to all others on behalf of theirs. For the instant of holiness is shared, and cannot be yours alone. Remember, then, when you are tempted to attack another, that their instant of release is yours. Miracles are the instants of release you offer, and will receive. They attest to your willingness to be released, and to offer time to the Holy Spirit for Spirit’s use of it.   T-15.I.12.1-5

Release is the lesson we need learn. Letting go of our attachment to our beliefs is where we start. Trust Spirit to guide you in this release. Spirit is within us. Spirit has our awareness of our peace as Its goal. There is nothing to be afraid of except losing our fear and misery.

How long does this take? Don’t worry about that. Practice giving this blessed instant of freedom to all who are enslaved by time, and thus make time their friend. Spirit gives their blessed instant to you through your giving it to them. As you give it, Spirit offers it to you. Be willing to give what you would receive, for you join with Spirit in giving. Your instantaneous freedom is in the crystal cleanness of the release you give. You are holy as you offer holiness.

How long is an instant? As long as it takes to re-establish perfect sanity, perfect peace and perfect love for everyone, for Source and for yourself. As long as it takes to remember immortality, and your immortal creations who share it with you. As long as it takes to exchange hell for Heaven. Long enough to transcend all of the ego’s making, and ascend unto your Creator.  T-15.I.14.1-5

The correct use of time is our friend as we allow Spirit to use it for us. Spirit Who transcends time for us understands what time is for. Holiness lies in eternity, not in time. There never was an instant in which we could lose our purity. Our changeless state is beyond time, for our purity remains forever beyond attack and without variability. Give the eternal instant, that eternity may be remembered for you, in that shining instant of perfect release. Offer the miracle of the holy instant through Spirit, and leave the giving it to you to Spirit. Allow the correct use of time and receive the holy instant for eternity.
