III. Littleness versus Magnitude, P 5
5 I asked you earlier, “Would you be hostage to the ego or host to God?” Let this question be asked you by the Holy Spirit every time you make a decision. For every decision you make does answer this, and invites sorrow or joy accordingly. When God gave Himself to you in your creation, He established you as host to Him forever. He has not left you, and you have not left Him. All your attempts to deny His magnitude, and make His Son hostage to the ego, cannot make little whom God has joined with Him. Every decision you make is for Heaven or for hell, and brings you the awareness of what you decided for.

In the Rules for Decision, it says that we make decisions continuously, and so we are continuously given the opportunity for joy. There is also the opportunity to choose hell and to suffer. The only criterion for this choice is whether we want to make the decision with the Holy Spirit or with ego. There is never any doubt with which we choose to make the decision. The effects of the decision make it very clear which we chose.
What happens if we choose the ego as our guide through this life? I mean, except for a lot of pain and suffering? Nothing happens. We simply continue to dream of hell while all along we abide in Heaven. No matter how long we dream we do not transform the dream into reality. We are not little, and we cannot make ourselves little.
We can, however, believe we are little and what we believe is true for us and therefore affects us. That is where the suffering comes from, the belief in littleness. The suffering is not real, either, but it sure as heck feels real. Regardless that this has been going on for a long time, it can be stopped in an instant, in a blink of an eye.
All that is required is a wholehearted decision for God. A decision that is unopposed in the mind will Awaken us. Be uncompromising in this. This morning I watched a Mooji video. The last thing he offered was a prayerful answer to temptation. I wrote it down on my calendar and I have read it several times already. It reminds me of what matters and how easy it is to achieve it. He said, “Guide me, Truth, into the Heart of what is real.”
