The holy instant is an example of what every relationship is supposed to be. Our relationships are meant to be loving, unconditional, peaceful and free from any conditions that are impossible in our divine state of being. When we experience any feeling such as anger, guilt, blame, attack or defensiveness, we have slipped into alignment with our egoic thought system and made our relationships “special” or unholy. We have blocked our awareness of the holy purpose of our relationships and replaced it with separation. The holy purpose of our relationships is joining in Oneness, recognizing that we are one with each other and the universe, inseparable under any circumstance. The condition of our relationships indicates our faithlessness or our faithfulness. The holy instant is the shining example, the clear and unequivocal demonstration of the meaning of every relationship and every situation, seen as a whole. Faith has accepted every aspect of the situation, and faithlessness has not forced any exclusion on it. It is a situation of perfect peace, simply because we have let it be what it is.
This simple courtesy is all the Holy Spirit asks of you. Let truth be what it is. Do not intrude upon it, do not attack it, do not interrupt its coming. Let it encompass every situation and bring you peace. Not even faith is asked of you, for truth asks nothing. Let it enter, and it will call forth and secure for you the faith you need for peace. But rise you not against it, for against your opposition it cannot come. T-17.VIII.2:1-7
There is great freedom and a release of effort when we answer Spirit’s call for faith in truth. The apparent strain of not responding to Sprit’s Call seems to be greater than before. Yet, this is not so. The strain was there, but we attributed it to something else, believing that the “something else” produced the strain. This was never true, for what the “something else” produced was sorrow, depression, sickness, pain, darkness and dim imaginings of terror, fantasies of fear and dreams of hell. All that misery was nothing more than the intolerable strain of refusing to give faith to truth, and see its evident reality. As we release ourselves from the egoic thought system, we find a great release will come. Be patient. Have faith that Spirit within will guide us to the freedom we seek. The holy instant will come to remind us of this promise. Time, in its holy purpose, serves the function to guide us there in the way Spirit knows is best for each of us. Take a step back and let it all be as you focus on Spirit’s specific call to you.
When you accepted truth as the goal for your relationship, you became a giver of peace as surely as your Creator gave peace to you. For the goal of peace cannot be accepted apart from its conditions, and you had faith in it for no one accepts what he does not believe is real. Your purpose has not changed, and will not change, for you accepted what can never change. And nothing that it needs to be forever changeless can you now withhold from it. Your release is certain. Give as you have received. And demonstrate that you have risen far beyond any situation that could hold you back, and keep you separate from the One Whose Call you answered. T-17.VIII.6:1-7
Become the receiver and giver of peace you are. The call is within you. Accept that call and allow it to rise from within you. This divine peace will weave itself through your relationships, transforming them as you allow the barriers to peace, you have erected, to fall. Your relationships will find their holy footing as they are transformed to their divine purpose, joining in one eternal holy relationship. Allow yourself to accept the conditions of peace and bring the peace that has always been within you into your awareness.
