The two-faced ego always pretends to be doing one thing while doing another
If I see myself as "being attacked" by someone, I am attacking.
If I see myself as "being victimized", I am victimizing.
If I see myself as afraid, I am threatening.
If I see myself as lacking, I am stealing.
If I see myself as judged, I am judging.
If I seem sick against my will, I have deliberately made myself sick in order to accuse others of causing it.
If I am dying and don't want to die, it's a great way to discard all of my power and give up on life, as if death is the total opposite of what I want when in fact I'm choosing it.
If I am feeling unsafe, I'm undermining someone.
If I'm trying to rely on myself, I'm trying to be unreliable.
If I see myself as guilty, I must believe it about others as well.
If I see myself as innocent, it can be that I have put my sin onto others and am in denial.
Always the surface appearance hides the exact opposite motive that lies underneath, because the ego is always two faced. Whatever it seeks to accomplish it accomplishes the exact opposite. Whatever it says its intentions are, they are a cover-story for a completely opposite plan.
No-one dies without their own consent. Death is chosen. Death is suicide. And death is an attempt to prove that you have no will or power to choose anything else, while simultaneously using all of your will and power to make death seem to happen in secret.
This is why death is *failing the Course.*
