ϟ The Holy Instant
Perhaps you have heard of the book “A Course in Miracles.” It hasreceived significant attention in recent years. Tolle refers to it as, “One of the few channeled works he loves.” I have to say that I also have found a great amount of Truth within its pages.
One of the primary tenants of Tolle’s teaching is the present, or the now, as a portal to God consciousness. This same teaching is widely present within The Course. The Course refers to the now as “The Holy Instant.”
This is part of what is has to say…
“The holy instant is this instant and every instant. The one you want it to be it is. The one you would not have it be is lost to you. You must decide when it is. Delay it not. For beyond the past and future, where you will not find it, it stands in shimmering readiness for your acceptance. Yet you cannot bring it into glad awareness while you do not want it, for it holds the whole release from littleness”
Another exerpt…
“Can you imagine what it means to have no cares, no worries, no anxieties, but merely to be perfectly calm and quiet all the time? Yet that is what time is for; to learn just that and nothing more. Take this very instant, now, and think of it as all there is of time. Nothing can reach you here out of the past, and it is here that you are completely absolved, completely free and wholly without condemnation. From this holy instant wherein holiness was born again you will go forth in time without fear, and with no sense of change with time.”
So yet again, this timeless, eternal, present moment, is suggested as the gateway to the ultimate, the portal to freedom, and the realization of one’s true nature.
