Another lovely discourse again Stefan - thank you. I have often wondered why the Holy Instant is so brief and have asked other teachers of the Direct Path that same question. The word there that’s often used instead of Holy Instant is a Glimpse. Your point that the ego defends against us having a longer glimpse in case we choose for it got me thinking how the defence shows itself? It seems for me, and I suspect, many others, that we move into the past by remembering the glimpse and then longing for it to happen again. To my mind that longing is a defence keeping us in the past and away from the present moment. I once met a guy who had had a glimpse 20 years before and had spent all the time since then seeking it. The guilt under the weight of judgement that we are constantly disconnected from the love, peace and joy of that Holy Instant/ Glimpse is the guilt that we have split from God and should not have done so or should have corrected the error by now. So, trying to get to Heaven is doomed because doing so puts us in control mode. We can check if we have truly given up control by seeing if it is true for us to say: “I am willing to stop trying to get to heaven” or “I look forward to stop trying to get to heaven”. Then surrender is present. If the answer is an unequivocal ‘Yes” not as some fake undercover strategy to get us to heaven by the back door then we may be close to surrendering to the Holy Spirit’s help in this.

Hi Antony, you are correct. Trying to get home will not work, at least not if that’s the only thing we’re doing. Looking at our wish not to go home is how we get home. 🏠

You reminded me of Simon and Garfunkels song "Slip slidin' away - the nearer your destination, the more you're slip slidin away". But that's only when we believe we are guilty!

Very true. And Jesus always sings in our ear: "When you're weary, feeling small, when tears are in your eyes I'll dry them all. I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough...

To reach the present moment we need to "look at the guilt with Jesus" , does it mean that the physical body has to go to the drama of the world, go through pain, go through all kinds of suffering - and look at it? Because the physical body always wants to avoid drama. As I remember back on my experience, whenever I'm in a drama, it is really upsetting, I have a strong tendency to blame the other person involved in that makes me a victim, my mind is restless, and I avoid looking at that person, I avoid to read the message, I avoid to discuss the problem. It is really dark and scary down there, and I don't want to go through it again.

I think it is more about looking at the guilt that you have given the other person. It doesn't have to be in person. It can be in your mind. You can say something like, "this darkness I see is not in you but in myself. Please help me look at this with you, Jesus. There's no need for the pain to increase but when you're experiencing it it is helpful to remember that it is a defense against love, and nothing more.

You could list the judgements that result in the guilt. "I am guilty because .....? ....." and then check if those judgements are true. The ego will want you to believe they are true because while you believe you are guilty the choice for love rather than for the ego cannot be made.
