The mind's fear, its sufficiency, and its relationship with choice

Frederic senses that stepping outside the maze will bring fears.

The Wonders explain that as he explores this way the mind realizes its ability to control existence is an illusion and that its power was given to it by him; when he exercises his power by commanding the mind, the mind becomes very fearful about its relationship with him, its ability to carry out his commands and even its own self-identity.

By acknowledging the mind's fears while continuing to command it, the mind eventually realizes it is sufficient, safe, and a reflection of the joy that he is, at which point the six defining statements materialize in the mind and it sees itself as sufficient not separately from him but as a part of him, commanded by him.

Frederic recognizes that sufficiency is what is missing, mentions bad nights that seem related to the mind's fear, and describes everything falling into place effortlessly through choice, while noting his mind still treats choice as an unsolved puzzle and as something outside itself.

The Wonders confirm the mind only sees choice as something it can exercise, control and direct, which choice is not, and say that eventually the mind will gain and accept a new relationship with choice, after which his present ease will become even easier.

As the session closes, Frederic says his life has become much more interesting and that if it continues in this direction he will not complain; they leave him with the question of why he said 'if'.
