T. 27. V. 6 – 9. Jesus: “Come to the holy instant and be healed, for nothing that is there received is left behind on your returning to the world. And being blessed, you will bring blessing. Life is now given you to give the dying world!
Suffering eyes no longer will accuse, but with relief from suffering, will shine in thanks to you who have given blessing. The holy instant’s radiance will light your eyes, and give them sight to see beyond all suffering and see Christ’s face instead.
In the holy instant healing replaces suffering. Who looks on one cannot perceive the other, for they cannot both be there. And what you see, the world will witness and will witness to for you!
Thus is your healing everything the world requires, that it be healed. It needs but one lesson that has perfectly been learned. And then, should you forget again, the world will remind you gently of what you taught to it! No reinforcement will its thanks withhold from you, the one who let yourself be healed that it might live. It will call forth its witnesses to show the face of Christ to you, for you are one who brought the sight of it to them, by which they witnessed it.

In the holy instant, the world of accusation is replaced by one in which all eyes look lovingly upon the Friend who brought them their release. And happily your brother will perceive the many friends he thought were enemies.
Problems, in their essence, are not specific, but they do take specific forms. And these specific shapes make up the world the ego has you see. Thus no one understands the fundamental nature of his problem. If he did, he would but choose again, and it would be there no more for him to see. The problem’s very nature is illusion, so in reality, ‘it is not!’

Thus, while one perceives a situation as the problem, he can not perceive the situation ‘as it is!’ But healing becomes readily apparent in specific instances, and as repeated, generalizes to include them all. This is because they really are the same, despite their different forms. All learning aims for this transfer, which becomes complete within two seeming different situations that are seen as one, for only common elements are then perceived.
Yet this can only be attained by One Who does not see the differences you see. The total transfer of your learning is thus not made by you. But that it has been made in spite of all the differences you see, convinces you that those differences could not be real.
Your healing will extend, and will be brought to problems that you thought were not your own. And it will also be apparent that your many different problems will be solved as any one of them has been escaped!“
