It is impossible to accept the holy instant without reservation unless, just for an instant, you are willing to see no past or future. ÂČYou cannot prepare for it without placing it in the future. ÂłRelease is given you the instant you desire it. âŽMany have spent a lifetime in preparation, and have indeed achieved their instants of success. â”This course does not attempt to teach more than they learned in time, but it does aim at saving time. â¶You may be attempting to follow a very long road to the goal you have accepted. â·It is extremely difficult to reach Atonement by fighting against sin. âžEnormous effort is expended in the attempt to make holy what is hated and despised. âčNor is a lifetime of contemplation and long periods of meditation aimed at detachment from the body necessary. Âčâ°All such attempts will ultimately succeed because of their purpose. ÂčÂčYet the means are tedious and very time consuming, for all of them look to the future for release from a state of present unworthiness and inadequacy.5. Your way will be different, not in purpose but in means. ÂČA holy relationship is a means of saving time. ÂłOne instant spent together with your brother restores the universe to both of you. âŽYou _are_ prepared. â”Now you need but to remember you need do nothing. â¶It would be far more profitable now merely to concentrate on this than to consider what you should do. â·When peace comes at last to those who wrestle with temptation and fight against the giving in to sin; when the light comes at last into the mind given to contemplation; or when the goal is finally achieved by anyone, it always comes with just one happy realization; âI need do nothing.â6. Here is the ultimate release which everyone will one day find in his own way, at his own time. ÂČYou do not need this time. ÂłTime has been saved for you because you and your brother are together. âŽThis is the special means this course is using to save you time. â”You are not making use of the course if you insist on using means which have served others well, neglecting what was made for _you._ â¶Save time for me by only this one preparation, and practice doing nothing else. â·âI need do nothingâ is a statement of allegiance, a truly undivided loyalty. âžBelieve it for just one instant, and you will accomplish more than is given to a century of contemplation, or of struggle against temptation.7. To do anything involves the body. ÂČAnd if you recognize you need do nothing, you have withdrawn the bodyâs value from your mind. ÂłHere is the quick and open door through which you slip past centuries of effort, and escape from time. âŽThis is the way in which sin loses all attraction _right now._ â”For here is time denied, and past and future gone. â¶Who needs do nothing has no need for time. â·To do nothing is to rest, and make a place within you where the activity of the body ceases to demand attention. âžInto this place the Holy Spirit comes, and there abides. âčHe will remain when you forget, and the bodyâs activities return to occupy your conscious mind.
