WE ARE HERE

The beauty and simplicity of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) really shines through one of its major principles: The Law of Cause and Effect. That is different from the Law of Attraction, a topic on which so much has been written about these last couple of years. ACIM answers not only why things are the way they’re with the mind, but also how to implement these mind corrections had a need to change your life. What it ultimately comes down to may be the choice to improve beliefs while residing in this world, or the decision to correct your brain and return home.

Affirmations are not part of A Course in Miracles as they are not necessary and here’s why: You will find a “wrong” ego mind, and a “right” ego mind, both which are still section of the same ego side of the split mind. Within the ego mind (error), the wrong side is all of the negative judgments; and the proper side is all of the negative judgments attempting to convince you how wonderful it is to live here in this negative world. Neither is the truth of your nature nor what your location is trying to return your mind, according to ACIM.

The Law of Cause and Effect is this: Based on the actually use as cause, you will see the corresponding effect. Ideas do not leave their source: You.



Let’s utilize this example:

Someone is feeling the consequences to be “poor,” or lack, nowadays and wants to change their beliefs to will have “rich” (abundance, prosperity, money) arrive. Both “poor” and “rich” are judgments of the ego deploying it as cause which can only produce ego effect. Ego being an unstable thought system, everything you choose as “rich” will eventually go and you also end up back with “poor.” It’s just a question of “when.”

The ego’s choice system is: (1) one or the other: (2) poor or rich; and, (3) ego or God. It asks you to choose between a couple of things within the ego illusion rather than to choose out from the illusion.

This is as opposed to choosing correction of your brain (forgiveness) where both “poor” and “rich” do not exist. A selection for correction of the mind allows the Holy Spirit Right Mind to be your cause which affects the you nowadays; however, it generally does not have the effects you imagine since the ego cannot relate. It returns some of the mind to peace and ends senseless worry over rich and poor. It also produces effects that you experienced here but you must choose correction to experience them.

Let’s look at how ACIM breaks this all into a simple group of principles based on Cause and Effect. It only has a few components so when understood and used, they might be “mind” correcting!

The Metaphysics:

Remember, according to ACIM, the mind is split by the ego’s judgment that we could be separate, also known as the “tiny mad idea,” or the error that never occurred. This portion of the mind is simply hidden in darkness since it banished itself from Knowledge (Heaven and Oneness) whenever we forgot to laugh off what could not be true. It did not, however, separate.

So in ACIM it isn’t about affirmations or changing beliefs, as the mind never left God but still resides at home with Him. There are no “belief” judgments in Love, Oneness, Heaven and Knowledge as everything may be the same, all one, and nothing to believe or judge between.

Instead, it is about changing your internal Teacher or rather, who you’re listening to for interpretation of events in this world. The only real change is in the choice between the split mind (error) of the ego or the Holy Spirit Right Mind (correction) as that internal Teacher.

This is where the simplicity is evident in ACIM because there is no convincing the ego wrong and right mind of another thought process. You simply give up what you no more want. We take action on a regular basis with ego stuff; and now we just do it with the ego beliefs themselves.

Forgiveness:

This says everything: Forgiveness is correction of your brain. In ACIM, you’ll find nothing to forgive because no error has happened, i.e., no separation happened. What you are really doing is simply returning your brain to God, where it never left, also to its natural state of peace. To achieve that is simply either which side of the split mind to hear for interpretation of events and turning over the judgments so long as desire to the Holy Spirit Right Mind for correction (forgiveness).

The Holy Spirit may be the treatment for the separation put into your brain by God and every answer will there be looking forward to you. Atonement, forgiveness, salvation and True Perception are other words which are synonymous. You need to be willing to utilize the Holy Spirit Right Mind for interpretation of events and do the specific work of giving judgments (beliefs) to this side of the mind, via your choice maker, because you no longer want them.

It really is that simple and only confusing due to the belief that the only choice is between ego judgments of “poor” and “rich,” to use the earlier example, rather than understanding relating to this third option being available. The choice for True Perception is to choose neither ego judgment and relinquish both for correction of the mind. This is exactly what is takes to come back your brain to God.

Decision Maker:

ACIM is targeted at your choice maker in your brain. The complete point is that you’ve got a choice of which side of the mind to hear and use for interpretation. That’s all that ever happened to begin with. It was a choice to pay attention, believe and choose judgments of the ego that separation happened and the ensuing sin, guilt and fear. Judgments can be dismissed as easily as you dismiss other things you don’t want because they are not real.

A couple of things stop you from relinquishing judgments: (1) your attachment to them to be true and real; and, (2) not acknowledging the way you feel keeps them hidden so you don’t realize they’re judgments.

You do not “feel” in Heaven, Knowledge and Oneness. It is an experience shared by One.

The decision maker is the mechanism between the two sides of the split mind. It is neutral, an observer and is something you have to employ to watch the mind and the judgments being created by the ego. Once you realize you have used something from the ego error of the incorrect or right mind, you need to be willing to hand them to the answer, or the correction, of the Holy Spirit Right Mind. It requires care of the others because the Atonement or solution has already been there. un curso de milagros No affirmations are essential. You are simply giving up that which you no longer want. It really is, and certainly can, be that easy.

Form and Content:

The last component to know from A Course in Miracles is form and content. Form is this world and everything inside it. In ACIM, form will not matter and is area of the “beliefs” to be turned over. However, you use everything in form, combined with the judgments in your thoughts, because the curriculum of what things to turn over for correction (forgiveness).

What does matter is content and in ACIM, content may be the mind. The mind you’re using for interpretation (perception) of people, places, and things, etc., counts for everything. You can only have one master: (1) the Holy Spirit Right Mind (correction); or, (2) the ego wrong mind (error) and that includes both interpretations of the ego mind.

In conclusion, think about the simplicity of ACIM which is a Course in training your mind how exactly to perceive properly. You need to return the mind to peace as the Kingdom of God is peace and you cannot start to see the doorway from judgment. You merely see peace in peace and while sharing peace with everyone.

All ACIM says is you have the willingness to understand how to do this, study the ideas and put it into practice. The help you need will arrive; but you, my friend, must do the task of the inward journey back to the mind.

The Law of Cause and Effect may be the form, or mind, you’re using for interpretation will be your effect nowadays. It’ll affect you in different ways by returning your mind back to back again to peace where you eventually see the illusion of choice, because no separation occurred, and choose to give it up forever.
