[… I]nstead of being a robot, you have a mind —and […] you can change it. It doesn’t matter if you have different forces of nature pulling at you, electromagnetic chi telling you what to do, gravity pulling you one way and dark energy pulling you the other way, and allowing the universe to expand at the same time —and a thousand other forces that all work together to cover up the mind during the dance of duality. No matter what appears to be happening, you can outmaneuver the ego simply by remembering there are really only two choices, then forgiving the contents of your own ego mind. You were being trained in the art of true forgiveness the second you started hearing these ideas —because from that moment on you were looking at the world differently. To emphasize an important point, you still believe you have a thousand different problems, but the Course knows you have only one problem —the seeming separation from God.
