III. The Decision for Guiltlessness, P 16
16 Say to the Holy Spirit only, “Decide for me,” and it is done. For His decisions are reflections of what God knows about you, and in this light, error of any kind becomes impossible. Why would you struggle so frantically to anticipate all you cannot know, when all knowledge lies behind every decision the Holy Spirit makes for you? Learn of His wisdom and His Love, and teach His answer to everyone who struggles in the dark. For you decide for them and for yourself.

I am making this the way I live my life. I ask the Holy Spirit to decide for me in every instance. It started with my study of The Rules for Decision in Chapter 30, and this practice of asking the Holy Spirit to decide for me has grown until it encompasses my entire life. “Decide for me” is my daily prayer. “Decide everything for me, Holy Spirit.”
In Chapter 4, Section I, Jesus says this: “I can be entrusted with your body and your ego only because this enables you not to be concerned with them, and lets me teach you their unimportance.” When I say to the Holy Spirit, decide for me and trust that it is done, this is another way that I give over the body and the ego. It is a way to entrust my life to One Who Knows my best interests, and Who knows the right decision.
There is absolutely nothing in my life, in my past or present moment, that would lead me to believe that I can make decisions on my own and live a happy life. The ego mind is so limited that this is not possible. I, as ego, cannot know what is best for everyone who is affected by my decisions now and in the future. It is crazy to try to anticipate all that is needed in order to make a decision when the Holy Spirit has all knowledge at His disposal, and will make the decision for me if I ask.
In the last sentence of this paragraph, Jesus reminds us that in our decisions we decide not just for ourselves, but for all. Each decision affects our little personal story, and it affects the entire world we made up, and it affects the whole Sonship in its awakening process. I don’t just ask the Holy Spirit to decide for me because I want a life of ease and of peace, but because I want to awaken from the dream and to my real life. I want this for the entire Sonship because I am part of that Sonship, and we must awaken together.
