CHAPTER 13
Guilt and self judgment comprise the beast(s)---that continually eats our lunch.
We are asked here to look at the beast, to neither deny it or let it overwhelm us.
We are also reminded in other places int NTI that we are never alone; we are not doing any of this by ourselves. How can we be? The whole concept of self is a reflection of our crazy idea of separateness.
CHAPTER 14
Time and again we are brought back to remembering both willingness and the true desire of the heart.
We have created the beast(s) of guilt and judgment--which stem from Fear---in a strange attempt to control life, feel safe, and support the illusion we have created. We have lived with the illusion of inadequacy for so long(many lifetimes) that when we try to shake it lose it feels very weird.
The end which we fear is only death to the ego--the false self--it is not who we are. There is no loss; there is nothing to lose.

REVELATIONS 12
The Lady or the Tiger?
Remember that story?
In this chapter, the choice seems to be the Lady and the baby or the Dragon.
As the Holy Spirit points out--this is all about you, not only is it your choice, but your perception creates the object os of your choice. Nothing is outside you. Nothing/no one is creating the objects of your choice or making the choice for you.
This lesson suggests we have lost touch with this truth. We have come to think of choices as conundrums, traps, stuckness, no-win scenes. "Not true," says the Holy Spirit.
All of this (the world) is your creation so you could experience that which you wish to experience.
"To accept choice as freedom is to reclaim the way to be found."
and
(v 10 – 12) 1Accepting choice is accepting the way of salvation. 2Accepting choice is accepting how all experience is made. 3In accepting choice, you are accepting that you are experience’s maker, and in doing this, can all previous choice be undone.
We are continually reminded here and in ACIM that we can always choose differently or choose once again.
