The ego has a plan of forgiveness, because you are asking for one, but not of the right teacher. 2The ego’s plan, of course, makes no sense and will not work. 3By following it, you will merely place yourself in an impossible situation, to which the ego always leads you. 4Its plan is to have you see error clearly first and then overlook it. 5But how can you overlook what you have made real? 6By seeing it clearly, you have made it real and cannot overlook it.
