The space between falsity. Another state of mind, seeing with fresh eyes, feeling with a pure heart. I appreciate how you guys teach and learn at once. Please know you’re reaching through shadows and extending the light far, far more than you may be aware. Great appreciation…

Thank you!

I liked Emily’s reworking of the “Take this very instant” section.

Thank you Emily & Robert!
I so enjoy your teaching!
I’ve been a course student for a long while.
And your classes are so encouraging and inspiring!
Sometimes this world 🌎 is so challenging especially when others in your life are not ACIM aware ! 😅❤

I looked up Holy Instant because there was a realization and I remembered this term and wanted to listen to see if it’s the same thing .
I think it’s the same as what I can now see but don’t you think it’s impossible to experience the holy instant fully while you are thinking about it and talking about it ? I just realized that everything in my mind is imaginary and there’s only one place that’s not imaginary but I can’t even discuss it 😆

Romance is special and exclusive while LOVE is GENERAL and INCLUSIVE. The only condition of LOVE is that LOVE is without conditions.

[blaskotron]

I was hoping you guy could share some examples of what happened when you experienced the holy instant

[robertripley]

Wow never came across the idea before, although just lately I have be using it without knowing about its role in the course

[messenjah]

Very helpful, thank you. I love the idea that the Holy instant is practiced.
