My friend Karl has done it again!

Read what he has condensed from
Chapter 15 of the text.

The recognition that God's will is our will is all we
need and it takes no time...an instant. It is the
Holy Instant. What is God's will? That we all be who
we really are, living in perfect peace, love and joy.
How could we want anything else? Yet we think we do.
We think we are something we are not, little. The
idea that we are sinners, or unloved and unworthy is a
result of our little thinking. God thinks of us as
whole and perfect and has never thought otherwise and
never will. God sees us in our magnitude as we always
have been and always will be. Whenever we let go of
our thoughts of littleness and see ourselves as one in
magnitude, as we really are, we create the Holy
Instant. We recognize it because we experience peace,
joy and love. So, our practice must rest on our
willingness to let all of our littleness go. This
instant when magnitude dawns upon us is only as far
away as our desire for it. How much do we desire the
dawning of our magnitude? How long are we willing to
wait in our own littleness before we are willing to
take the step? It's our choice and it matters not
when we choose, for it will always be there for us.
Remember, we can always choose peace instead of
whatever un-peace we have chosen, right at the moment
we realize we want peace.

Learning and practicing the principles and lessons of
the Course will help us shift our perception so we can
let go of the ideas and thoughts that keep us from the
awareness of our true selves. Join us as we learn to
be the people and community we know we really are.

What do we all think?
