Starting from the End

A Course in Miracles says the goal is "the Holy Instant." What comes to mind for you when you hear that phrase? Absolute and undeniable peace and tranquility? The split second of calm between the in and the out breath?

Sometimes, perhaps even most of the time, the best way to acheive a goal is to start at the end. If we were to do that now, how could we start at the Holy Instant? Ahhhh - forgiveness would be done. Anything and everything that needed to be forgiven would be done. The illusion would be shattered. Separation no more!

Consider the benefits of starting from the end - from the goal. You are what you seek. We have it ALL within. Quiet the world, even for an instant and you'll get it!

Ernest Holmes said, "Keep a prepared mind for the best that can happen." Let's prepare for and expect the totality available in that Holy Instant.
