Reacting to the mind's judgments, and the limitless self that created the mind

Frederic describes stressful periods that feel almost like a split personality: he sees them happening without identifying with them as he used to, though he still reacts.

The Wonders confirm his earlier work did succeed - he reduced but did not eliminate the reaction, and still responds to his mind's judgments.

The mind will judge; that is its function.

The task is to manage it, telling it to go ahead and judge in the background while refusing to live from those judgments.

They then present the teaching from recently completed study groups: the defining statement 'I am limitless' extends to the mind.

A limitless entity chose to create a mind in order to incarnate into a body, and that mind is itself limitless - but its function was survival, so it created an ego and turned its limitless expression to judgment, and judgment is by nature negative.

Since birth the mind has judged negatively to ensure the survival of body and ego personality.

Once one accepts being a limitless essence that created a limitless mind which chose judgment for survivability, one can relate to the mind differently and see that its judgments do not express its own limitlessness: 'I am limitless; my choices reflect my limitlessness'.

The more the mind makes one's choices, the more one lives from a judgmental, limited perspective - which everyone does, and which is not wrong, but everyone is nonetheless limitless.

Frederic has been judging drastically and has begun to judge less; he is invited to give himself permission to judge even less.

He observes that in practice he moves first and the mind follows; the Wonders agree - he must be the one to choose, and once he reinforces that the mind is a tool he himself created, it responds to his direction far more easily.
