You want illusions to be true, because YOU are an illusion, and you want you to be real.

The ego is nothing more than the Son's belief in it....The mind's decision-maker is the only thing that gave the ego its existence. If we withdraw that power, the ego slips back into the nothingness from whence it came.

Denial leads to problems because when we reject something in ourselves, evaluating it as sinful, we inevitably project it and see it in others, condemning them for our perceived sin. Since we are not aware of having done so, we are sure we are justified in our judgments and reactions to them.

When we decide upon the ego's thought system it becomes real to us, not because it is true, but because we believe in it.

(The miracle) is a shift in perception; it is a correction of the ego's way of looking to the Holy Spirit's way of looking...We do not change the world, we change our minds about the world. We do not seek to change another person; we change how we are looking at that person. The Holy Spirit will then work through us to do whatever He thinks is best. It is a change in mind with a shift in perception. That is what a miracle is, and that is the goal of the Course.
