A Training Course in Miracles (ACIM) clearly highlights how perception and selection are extremely carefully linked together. As lengthy once we see error, the inclination would be to still choose error through judgment therefore making error more real. We're the origin selecting perceptions, placing judgment on corresponding results, and lastly knowing individuals results to be real a course in miracles. All this leads us to perception and selection and also to start the cycle once more.
While you see, you judge and project so that as you judge and project, you see back. Getting perceived the judgments and projections back along with you, you'll now judge individuals and project them outward before you see the outcomes back. The ego knows not one other way. It's a continuous judgmental cycle until you decide to break it you will find, there's a method to just do that. There's one apparent choice from the merry-go-round, which is so simple you'll scratch your mind in question you'd not considered it prior to this.
Choice remains unsettling because as long as you are making choices that further the mistake, or get you much deeper in to the illusion, it appears as though you're just making choices between your lessor of two evils. That is because you're only selecting between your sides from the wrong mind. The ego includes a "wrong" and "right" side but neither may be the true Right Mind from the Holy Spirit. When there was ever a brand new Year's resolution worth keeping, it might be: Stop knowing and switch on them towards the Holy Spirit for correction rather.
The initial separation is recognized as a "small mad idea" in which you thought you had been separated from source. This is known as "the mistake" and it is the initial option for judgment from the ego. Already lower that road within the mind, it might be another layer every time you judge the effects, or corresponding effect, in the error as cause. This means any time you judge a specific item or what's happening on the planet, and you decide to believe the ego about this, you're selecting the mistake as cause once more. Corresponding effects appear which reinforce your belief by mistake.
These judgments further divide the split mind rather of coming back it to peace. Hence, for this reason is appears as if you are selecting between your lessor of two evils with the two really being "less". The mistake hasn't happened and just appears real from your selection of internal Teacher. Selecting the ego is much like selecting a revolving door with simply one exit.
ACIM states there's no order of difficultly in miracles which means there's no order of difficulty in choices. The first is exactly like the following, handled in the same manner. Every issue is equal simply because they all originate from exactly the same cause. You simply think the first is harder from your belief and attachment to it more real than another.
