Primary
Quietness reveals the answer already here: the Holy Instant as true interval.
Supporting
A question can wear inquiry’s form while refusing answer.
Conflict hides its answer; bring the question to the Holy Instant’s quiet place.
Minor
Quietness makes room for the Answer; the Holy Instant resolves what conflict cannot.
The answer is already present; stop searching through outcomes in time.
Worldly questioning consults the body’s witnesses and never leaves their frame.
Echo
Ask honestly in the Holy Instant: questions without a demand to pay.
The ego’s only question asks which illusion will finally soothe you.
Refuse the world’s question that presumes sin is real; accept the quiet answer.
The answer is already given; circumstances need not shift first.
Preference questions are hidden verdicts that block the quiet answer.
