The Holy Instant

All that is asked of you is to make room for truth. You are not asked to make or do what lies beyond your understanding. All you are asked to do is *let it in*; only to stop your interference with what will happen of itself; simply to recognize again the presence of what you thought you gave away.

Be willing, for an instant, to leave your altars free of what you placed upon them, and what is really there you cannot fail to see. The holy instant is not an instant of creation, but of recognition. For recognition comes of vision and suspended judgment.

You need to hear the truth about yourself as frequently as possible, because your mind is so preoccupied with false self-images.

“Visual illusions demonstrate the ways in which the brain creates a mental representation that differs from the physical world,” says Martinez-Conde. “By studying illusions, we can learn the mechanisms by which the brain constructs our conscious experience of the world.”

Earlier studies of the “Rotating Snakes” indicated the perception of motion was triggered by the eyes moving slowly across the illusion. But by tracking eye movements in eight volunteers, the vision neuroscientists found a different explanation: fast eye movements called “saccades,” some of which are microscopic and undetectable by the viewer, drive the illusory motion.

Question your thoughts.
Question your stories.
Question your assumptions.
Question your opinions.
Question your conclusions.
Question them all into
utter Emptiness, Stillness and Joy.
The keys to freedom are in your hands.
Use them.
