 We continue today with Chapter 15, The End of Doubt. The Atonement is in time, but not for time. Being in you, it is eternal. What holds remembrance of God cannot be bound by time. No more are you. For unless God is bound, you cannot be. An instant offered to the Holy Spirit is offered to God on your behalf, and in that instant you will awaken gently in Him. In the blessed instant you will let go all your past learning, and the Holy Spirit will quickly offer you the whole lesson of peace. What can take time when all the obstacles to learning it have been removed? Truth is so far beyond time that all of it happens at once. For as it was created one, so its oneness depends not on time at all. Do not be concerned with time, and fear not the instant of holiness that will remove all fear. For the instant of peace is eternal because it is without fear. It will come. Being the lesson God gives you, through the Teacher he has appointed to translate time into eternity. Blessed is God's Teacher, whose joy it is to teach God's Holy Son, His Holiness. His joy is not contained in time. His teaching is for you because His joy is yours. Through Him you stand before God's altar, where He gently translates hell into heaven. For it is only in heaven that God would have you be. How long can it take to be where God would have you? For you are where you have forever been and will forever be. All that you have, you have forever. The blessed instant reaches out to encompass time as God extends Himself to encompass you. You who have spent days, hours, and even years in chaining your brothers to your ego, in an attempt to support it and uphold its weakness, do not perceive the source of strength. In this holy instant you will unchain all your brothers and refuse to support either their weaknesses or your own. You do not realize how much you have misused your brothers by seeing them as sources of ego support. As a result, they witness to the ego in your perception and seem to provide reasons for not letting it go. Yet they are far stronger and much more compelling witnesses for the Holy Spirit and they support His strength. It is therefore your choice whether they support the ego or the Holy Spirit in you. And you will recognize what you have chosen by their reactions. A son of God who has been released through the Holy Spirit and a brother is always recognized. He cannot be denied. If you remain uncertain, it is only because you have not given complete release. And because of this, you have not given a single instant completely to the Holy Spirit. For when you have, you will be sure you have. You will be sure because the witness to Him will speak so clearly of Him that you will hear and understand. You will doubt until you hear one witness whom you have wholly released through the Holy Spirit. And then you will doubt no more. The Holy Instant has not yet happened to you, yet it will. And you will recognize it with perfect certainty. No gift of God is recognized in any other way. You can practice the mechanics of the Holy Instant and will learn much from doing so. Yet its shining and glittering brilliance, which will literally blind you to this world by its own vision, you cannot supply. And here it is, all in this instant, complete, accomplished, and given, holy. 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 the single instant 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 his 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. And from the workbook, Lesson 116, for morning and evening review, God's will for me is perfect happiness. God's will is perfect happiness for me and I can suffer but from the belief there is another will apart from his. I share God's will for happiness for me. I share my father's will for me, his son. What he has given me is all I want. What he has given me is all there is on the hour. God's will for me is perfect happiness on the half hour. I share God's will for happiness for me. Amen.
