The Two Evaluations
Ego and Holy Spirit offer opposite evaluations; choosing again for Atonement aligns means with end, and peace returns as love replaces judgment in a shared Will.

Teachings Drawn from This Section
-
Littleness. A sharper turn names littleness as chosen, not given. If it is a decision, you can question it. Grandiosity and littleness are the same project—self-authorship—performed at opposite poles. Accepting littleness is not humility; it is arrogance, placing your personal self-evaluation above God’s appraisal. Greatness is not superiority but what is already true, shared, and beyond comparison.
-
Salvation. Salvation becomes an encounter—something that happens in an actual meeting with a brother. Every meeting offers the same fork: imprison or release. You cannot want salvation and keep one person out of it; the separation you protect with one justified grievance becomes the template for the whole dream. Willingness matters more than comprehension—salvation asks for consent, not mastery.
