WE ARE HERE

The beauty and simplicity of A TRAINING COURSE in Miracles (ACIM) really shines through one of its major principles: The Law of Cause and Effect. This is different from regulations of Attraction, a subject on which so much has been written about these last few years. ACIM answers not only why things will be 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 boils down to may be the choice to change beliefs while residing in this world, or the choice to correct the mind and return home.

Affirmations are not section of A TRAINING COURSE in Miracles because they are not essential and here’s why: There is a “wrong” ego mind, and a “right” ego mind, both of which are still part of the same ego side of the split mind. Within the ego mind (error), the incorrect side is all the negative judgments; and the proper side is all the negative judgments attempting to convince you how wonderful it really is to live here in this negative world. Neither may be the truth of your nature nor where you are trying to return your mind, according to ACIM.

REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect is this: According to the actually use as cause, you will see the corresponding effect. Ideas do not leave their source: You.



Let’s use this example:

Someone is feeling the effects to be “poor,” or lack, in this world and really wants to change their beliefs to now have “rich” (abundance, prosperity, money) arrive. Both “poor” and “rich” are judgments of the ego using it as cause that may only produce ego effect. Ego as an unstable thought system, what you choose as “rich” will eventually go and you also find yourself back with “poor.” It’s only a question of “when.”

The ego’s choice system is: (1) one or another: (2) poor or rich; and, (3) ego or God. It asks you to choose between a couple of things within the ego illusion and not to choose out of your illusion.

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

Let’s look at how ACIM breaks this all down into a simple set of principles predicated on Cause and Effect. It only includes a few components and when understood and used, they may be “mind” correcting!

The Metaphysics:

Remember, in accordance with ACIM, your brain is split by the ego’s judgment that we could be separate, also called the “tiny mad idea,” or the error that never occurred. This part of the mind is merely hidden in darkness since it banished itself from Knowledge (Heaven and Oneness) whenever we forgot to laugh off what cannot 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 is the same, all one, and nothing to trust or judge between.

Instead, it is about changing your internal Teacher or rather, who you are hearing for interpretation of events nowadays. 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’s no convincing the ego wrong and right mind of another way of thinking. You simply give up what you no more want. We take action all the time with ego stuff; and now we just take action with the ego beliefs themselves.

Forgiveness:

This says everything: Forgiveness is correction of the mind. a course in miracles videos In ACIM, you’ll find nothing to forgive because no error has happened, i.e., no separation happened. What you are doing is simply returning your brain to God, where it never left, also to its natural state of peace. To do 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 is the treatment for the separation put into your brain by God and every answer is there looking forward to you. Atonement, forgiveness, salvation and True Perception are other words which are synonymous. You need to be willing to use the Holy Spirit Right Mind for interpretation of events and do the specific work of giving judgments (beliefs) to the side of your brain, 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 real choice is between ego judgments of “poor” and “rich,” to use the earlier example, rather than understanding about 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 return the mind to God.

Decision Maker:

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

A couple of things stop you from relinquishing judgments: (1) your attachment to them as being true and real; and, (2) not acknowledging the method that you feel keeps them hidden and that means you don’t realize they are judgments.

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

The decision maker may be the mechanism between your two sides of the split mind. It really is neutral, an observer and is something you should employ to watch your brain and the judgments being made by the ego. When you realize you purchased something from the ego error of the wrong or right mind, just be willing to hand them to the answer, or the correction, of the Holy Spirit Right Mind. It requires care of the others as the Atonement or solution is already there. No affirmations are necessary. You are simply giving up that which you no more want. It really is, and certainly can, be that easy.

Form and Content:

The last component to know from the Course in Miracles is form and content. Form is this world and everything in it. In ACIM, form does not matter and is part of the “beliefs” to be turned over. However, you utilize 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 brain how to perceive properly. You must return your brain to peace as the Kingdom of God is peace and you cannot start to see the doorway from judgment. You only see peace in peace even though 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 assist you to need will arrive; but you, my friend, must do the task of the inward journey back to the mind.

REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect is the form, or mind, you are using for interpretation will be your effect in this world. It’ll affect you in different ways by returning your mind back to back again to peace where you eventually see the illusion of preference, because no separation occurred, and choose to give it up once and for all.
