if you wish to be the author of reality, which is totally impossible anyway, you will insist on holding onto judgment. You will also use the term with considerable fear, believing that judgment will someday be used against you. To whatever extent it is used against you, it is due only to your belief in its efficacy as a weapon of defense for your own authority. The issue of authority is really a question of authorship. When an individual has an “authority problem,” it is always because he believes he is the author of himself, projects his delusion onto others, and then perceives the situation as one in which people are literally fighting him for his authorship.
If you have made it a habit to ask for help when and where you can, you can be confident that wisdom will be given you when you need it. Prepare for this each morning, remember God when you can throughout the day, ask the Holy Spirit's help when it is possible to do so, and thank Him for His guidance at night. And your confidence will be well founded indeed.

Tu papel consiste únicamente en recordar esto: no quieres que nada que tú consideres valioso sea lo que tiene lugar en una relación. 2 No decides hacer nada a tu manera para deteriorarlas o para crear armonía en ellas. 3 No sabes lo que es curar. 4 Todo lo que has aprendido acerca de la empatía procede del pasado. 5 Y no hay nada del pasado que desees compartir, pues no hay nada del pasado que desees conservar. 6 No te valgas de la empatía para otorgarle realidad al pasado y así perpetuarlo. 7 Hazte a un lado tranquilamente y deja que la curación se lleve a cabo por ti. 8 Mantén un solo pensamiento en la mente y no lo pierdas de vista, por muy grande que sea la tentación de juzgar cualquier situación, y de determinar tu reacción basándote en los juicios que has hecho de la misma. 9 Concentra tu mente sólo en esto: 10 No estoy solo, y no quiero imponer el pasado a mi Invitado. 11 Lo invité y Él está aquí. 12 No tengo que hacer nada, excepto no interferir.
