That Instant

This course is always practical. It may be that the teacher of God is not in a situation that fosters quiet thought as he awakes.

If this is so, let him but remember that he chooses to spend time with God as soon as possible, and let him do so. Duration is not the major concern.

One can easily sit still an hour with closed eyes and accomplish nothing. One can as easily give God only an instant, and in that instant join with Him completely.

Perhaps the one generalization that can be made is this; as soon as possible after waking take your quiet time, continuing a minute or two after you begin to find it difficult. You may find that the difficulty will diminish and drop away.

If not, that is the time to stop.
The observation of any emmotional or physical impulse that seem to resonate in the idea of a static body, only deserves immediate relinquishment in gratitude.

The tiniest action of examination will bring about the idea that there is some problem that needs time to be released.
Oh temptation has only ever one lesson to give!

Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.
