The Meditation of A Course In Miracles

Most people don’t associate A Course In Miracles with the idea of meditation, but quite to the contrary the Mind training lessons of A Course in Miracles are nothing if not an attempt to focus the Mind and bring about an experience of Peace. Here’s what Jesus has to say about meditation;

"It is impossible to accept the holy instant WITHOUT RESERVATION unless, JUST FOR AN INSTANT, you are willing to see no past or future. You cannot PREPARE for it without placing it in the FUTURE. Release is given you the INSTANT you desire it. Many have spent a lifetime in preparation, and have, indeed, achieved their instants of success. This course does not attempt to teach more than they have learned in time. But it does aim at SAVING time.

You are attempting to follow a very long road to the goal you have accepted. It is extremely difficult to reach Atonement by fighting against sin. Enormous effort is expended in the attempt to make holy what is hated and despised. Nor is a lifetime of contemplation, and long periods of meditation aimed at DETACHMENT from the body necessary. All such attempts will ultimately succeed, because of their purpose. But 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.

Your way will be different. NOT in purpose, but in means. A HOLY RELATIONSHIP IS A MEANS OF SAVING TIME. One instant spent TOGETHER restores the universe to BOTH of you. You ARE prepared. Now you need but remember YOU NEED DO NOTHING. It would be FAR more profitable now merely to concentrate on this, than to consider what you SHOULD do."

These next articles will be looking at how you associate meditation with some sort of transcendence that only takes place in some quite sanctuary at particular times of the day. When in fact you can access the Peace of God all through the day at any instant and in any situation that you seem to find yourself in.
