Lesson 300 – Only an instant does this world endure.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

This lesson removes all the pressure from “Life is short so live it to the fullest.” No need to worry about that! The Course tells us that “life,” as we know it, is merely a passing cloud upon a sky eternally serene. When we are willing to shift our perception from clouds to Heaven (which signifies eternal Life, not death as the ego would have us believe), we behold a holy world–the real world–the transition from illusion to Reality which only takes a holy instant to undo.

LESSON 300

Only an instant does this world endure.

This is a thought which can be used to say that death and sorrow are the certain lot of all who come here, for their joys are gone before they are possessed, or even grasped. Yet this is also the idea that lets no false perception keep us in its hold, nor represent more than a passing cloud upon a sky eternally serene. And it is this serenity we seek, unclouded, obvious and sure, today.

We seek Your holy world today. For we, Your loving Sons, have lost our way a while. But we have listened to Your Voice, and learned exactly what to do to be restored to Heaven and our true Identity. And we give thanks today the world endures but for an instant. We would go beyond that tiny instant to eternity.
