It is avoidance of admitting the determination we are really producing which is to deny Appreciate, God and Reality by pretending we by no means see how we are selecting, or that we are not ready to pick in diverse methods (helpless).
ACIM is all about content, or the head, you are employing for the trigger and end result in is what you are finding, or agreeing with, in the thoughts. You see the corresponding result as quickly as you do that. Varieties are the behaviors and troubles projected into the world as miscreations manufactured by the ego, i.e., they are merely judgments from agreeing with the moi views as cause.

Electricity to Make a decision
We never ever see we have the energy to pick right up until lastly we stop concentrating on variety conditions of the moi (behaviors and problems) and go inward. Correct adjust is only in the head and that is the location you will locate the response.
The strength of our ability to choose lies in specifically in which we are choosing on in the crack up mind. Moi states the assortment is in between its personalized elements (moi proper and improper ideas), which is a decision inside the illusion. Actually, the strength lies in choosing to give up all sides of the illusion in favor of the Reality (Appreciate). The System is aimed at the decision maker for this goal.
