How To Make More A Course In Miracles By Doing Less
The ego uses a selection of predictable patterns as the basis of its thought system is judgment whose origin stems from sin, fear and guilt. Judgment is always one or the other. As you perceive a brother through judgment, you will project and judge on that brother and soon you perceive the results back. Once those email address details are perceived, you’ll use perception repeatedly to project and judge them a lot more.
Unfortunately, this uses both sides of the ego wrong mind and compounds the initial error until the facts are well hidden. Handing over judgments for correction (forgiveness) stops the cycle.
Holy Relationships:
The ego uses special love and hate relationships, as well as specialness (being different), to help keep the illusion of separation going. Usage of these types of relationships as cause, can be the ego mind as cause; and the effect would be to continue separation between brothers because they are based on the original separation. Remember cause and effect: Your brain you choose from, as cause, will result in the corresponding consequences (effect).
This is not about you having to be alone or avoid relationships in life. It really is, however, all about the method that you enter and utilize them within the mind.
The choice that will set you free would be to elect to have your relationships be Holy Relationships. You must be the person practicing forgiveness in all of your relationships, even if you are the only 1. It is “special” and soon you transform it “Holy.” To see another as a brother, a prerequisite to going home, is True Perception which shines a light of truth on you both. The ego cannot prevail against Oneness since it is not real.
Form and Content:
A TRAINING COURSE in Miracles (ACIM) is quite clear that form does not matter. You’ll find nothing in ACIM about behavior so when you judge a brother on his / her behavior, that is the same side of the ego mind. They may be acting from the ego “wrong” mind; but you are judging from the ego “right” mind. To the ego, one judgment is equivalent to any other.
What the Course says is that content matters. Content may be the mind. ACIM concerns itself with you knowing that you can choose the Holy Spirit Right Mind as your internal Teacher thereby creating a different cause and effect.
Everything you or another does in form (behavior) will not matter. However here are two questions to consider:
When I acted, did I act from the Holy Spirit Right Mind? (Content)
Is my interpretation of my brother from the Holy Spirit Right Mind? (Content)
You will not have peace if you don’t can answer “yes” to both. Choose again if you want to. It really is never too late.
There is ONLY 1 of Us:
Once you judge a brother, you’re utilizing the ego mind as cause for that judgment to become real effect. This is why we emphasize that what you see in another needs to be forgiven in yourself first. Here’s why: (1) You cannot see fault (judgment) in another unless you chose from that portion of the split mind in the first place; (2) You cannot judge everything you don’t already believe to be true as it is based on the actually chose from; and (3) Judgment about another is a statement of the guilt retained in your mind from the original separation because you opting for to use the ego mind. It really is where you are still holding onto fear and guilt rather than choosing correction (forgiveness) for the reality.
Absolutely anyone who shows up and provides you with a chance to heal your mind is really a gift you may use. Turn it into a Holy Relationship. This is one way you will return your own mind to God, and how others eventually view it for themselves. Hold the light of forgiveness gives all minds a chance to make a different choice. Judge and they run and hide further into darkness and error.
A Call for Love:
Attack is a conscious mind behavior predicated on projection, judgment and perception. The ego’s point is to protect separate identity and therefore, all attack is often a call for love, or forgiveness, which is joining. The more determined you’re to know the reality about yourself and a brother, the more you will choose against the ego’s attacks and only correction (forgiveness) from the proper Mind.
Responding with love can mean a lot of things and sometimes, it can even mean no response. Other times, you might need a boundary or to take some action. To respond with love, you absolutely should be practicing forgiveness and using the Right Mind to show total attack and judgment. The Holy Spirit will give you a solution in the event that you completely turn compared to that Right Mind for help. “Completely” may be the key word.
Eventually you see no attack (error) occurred and that is to know the truth about you and your brother. There is absolutely no defense necessary (“defenselessness” on the Split Mind diagram). Once you share your willingness never to see error, you have shared what you would like to keep and learn on your own. What you share you find you have.
Sharing:
Sharing methods to allow yourself to give to another what you would like them to possess. Your only reason behind doing this is basically because it is what you would like to have for yourself. You are teaching them what you need to be yours. a course in miracles Teaching is instruction of ideas and principles. Do this and you will find you have it because you’ve literally said, “Surrender if you ask me what I’ve taught you.”
