All questions asked within this world are but a way of looking, not a question asked.” -A Course in Miracles

“A problem set in conflict has no answer, for it is seen in different ways. And what would be an answer from one point of view is not an answer in another light. You are in conflict. Thus it must be clear you cannot answer anything at all, for conflict has no limited effects. Yet if God gave an answer there must be a way in which your problems are resolved, for what He wills already has been done. Thus it must be that time is not involved and every problem can be answered now.” -A Course in Miracles

Let’s take a look at the very first sentence. “A problem set in conflict has no answer, for it is seen in different ways.” What is conflict? It refers to our present state of human consciousness. The fact that we see duality suggest that we are in conflict. For in Heaven, there is no conflict, there are no opposites, only oneness. In Heaven, there is only peace.

So from a place of duality (conflict) no real answers are possible, only different points of view. Because as the Course states, “one point of view is not an answer in another light.”

So where can we find answers? First of all, there are no such thing as multiple answers, only multiple imagined problems, each requiring a seeming different answer. Yet, the only answer is I AM. With that answer, all seeming questions disappear. And where is the I AM answer found? In the present moment, or as the Course also refers to as the Holy Instant.

Every problem we seem to have is either rooted in fear or worry of an illusory future or guilt and pain based on a illusory past. And they are both in illusory sense of time. But as we surrender each moment to God, keeping our attention in the present moment, times ceases to exist, all worries and concerns are gone and we are in the midst of the experience of our oneness with God.

I know this sounds very appealing but because we have so much guilt deep in our unconscious, which is what is projecting the world that we see, or I should say, all of our seeming problems, we need to remove that guilt so that the experience of our oneness with God can reveal itself through us. And the way we do so is through practicing forgiveness. Forgiveness removes the guilt that is blocking us for the full experience of the now moment (the Holy Instant).

From that space, all of our problems resolve themselves! Either that, or we are not longer affected by our seeming circumstances, from which ideas can then surface that could be the answer to any seeming challenge we seem to be dealing with at the moment. Not that we are trying to solve anything, but if we are going to ask for guidance, why not ask the Holy Spirit first. At least His one answer, out of all the millions and zillions of points of view and choice we seem to have, will always be the perfect answer to every seeming challenge we may be faced at any given time.
