Chapter 15 - I've got the power!
A Course in Miracles is all about decisions: our decision to choose either the ego or the Holy Spirit as our teacher. In order to do this, we need to acknowledge we have a split mind and that we are better off choosing the Holy Spirit as our teacher. The previous two sentences are essentially a summary of the workbook.Our mistaken decision to side with the ego and take the "tiny mad idea" seriously gets re-enacted in a multitude of situations, and we can choose to correct our mistake by seeing the world through the eyes of the Holy Spirit.
