Ours is the power of decision.

Lesson 152, The power of decision is our own.

“Decision” comes from the Latin, decidere, meaning “to cut.”  

Nothing occurs but represents your wish,

and nothing is omitted that you choose.

Here is your world, complete in all details.

This Chart chart demonstrates that mind is the mechanism of decision.  When we decide for Separation, we experience these consequences, cutting us off from Union.  When we decide for Union, we cut ourselves off from Separation.  There is no in between.  

The Holy Spirit uses our thoughts of Separation to guide us to Union.

The Holy Spirit’s lessons will enable you to bridge the gap between illusions and truth.  (Lesson 151.9:7)

This is summarized in a sonnet:

Now do we join in glad acknowledgment

that lies are false, and only truth is true.

We think of truth alone as we arise,

and spend five minutes practicing its ways,

encouraging our frightened minds with this:

The power of decision is my own.

This day I will accept myself as what

my Father's Will created me to be.

Then will we wait in silence, giving up

all self-deceptions, as we humbly ask

our Self that He reveal Himself to us.

And He Who never left will come again

to our awareness, grateful to restore

His home to God, as it was meant to be.
