Our freedom is found in the awareness of our Oneness. It is an all-encompassing Oneness. At any moment we can choose freedom for the one we are with and thus free ourselves in that moment. It wells up within us as we release another from our misperceptions about them. We are filled with doubt thoughts about ourselves but more so about each other. Doubting our holiness, whether our own or another’s, is a way our egoic thought system keeps us distracted from the awareness of who we really are and the peace of the holy instant. Our home is in the holy instant. Our true Self is in the holy instant. Can we release our iron will of separation for just an instant and allow Spirit, God’s Teacher, to lift us into the freedom of that instant? That’s all it takes, just one moment to fly free of the bonds of separation if we are willing.
The Course gives us this instruction:
Start now to practice your little part in separating out the holy instant. You will receive very specific instructions as you go along. To learn to separate out this single second, and to experience it as timeless, is to begin to experience yourself as not separate. Fear not that you will not be given help in this. God’s Teacher and the lesson will support your strength. It is only your weakness that will depart from you in this practice, for it is the practice of the power of God in you. Use it but for one instant, and you will never deny it again. Who can deny the Presence of what the universe bows to, in appreciation and gladness? Before the recognition of the universe that witnesses to It, your doubts must disappear. T-15.II.6.1-9
Take a moment and try it. Rest your mind for just an instant and allow Spirit to guide you. You will see your brother or sister as they truly are, whole, complete, and holy, and thus recognize your holy Self in them. Take this moment and rest an instant. There is nothing to lose but your doubt and thus your uncertainty. Release all to Spirit and let yourself soar on the wings of love and peace.
