“A Course in Miracles is a modern-day program for healing the Mind, removing all judgment, learning to trust the Higher Self/Holy Spirit/Intuition, and coming to consistent Peace of Mind.”
–David Hoffmeister
A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is a self-study program with a unique approach, designed to bring a consistent state of happiness and peace to the student through the application of its principles. These principles can seem radical and “not of this world.” However, this uncompromising approach is very effective for those looking to heal abandonment, victimhood, and any other seeming lifelong issues.
In the article on, "A Course in Miracles is Brotherhood, inches we discussed the key metaphysical ideas as used by the ego component to the split mind for divorce. By viewing others as separate, and using the ego to the love of God, we land in special love or hate relationships. Ultimately, to see another as a brother means we must give up all judgments because we now choose to see the truth about them and ourselves. You can only see who your bros are, and automagically who you are, through relinquishing what you judged and made true through error. Error hides truth. Seeing is knowing which reveals truth.
The ego uses a variety of predictable patterns because the basis of its thought system is judgment whose origin stems from sin, fear and remorse. Judgment is always one or the other. As you perceive a brother through judgment, you will project and judge on that brother if you do not perceive the results back. Once those results are perceived, you will use perception repeatedly to project and judge them even more. Unfortunately, this uses both sides of the ego wrong mind and compounds the original error until the truth is well hidden. Passing 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 keep the illusion of divorce going. Use of these types of relationships as cause, is also the ego mind as cause; and the effect is to continue divorce between bros because they are based on the original divorce. acim Remember cause and effect: The mind you choose from, as cause, will result in the matching consequences (effect).
This is not about you having to be alone or avoid relationships in life. It is, however, all about how you enter and use them within the mind.
The decision that will set you free is to choose to have your relationships be Holy Relationships. You must function as person practicing forgiveness in all of your relationships, even if you are the only one. It is "special" if you do not turn it "Holy. inches To see another as a brother, a prerequisite to going home, does work Perception which is shiny a light of truth upon you both. The ego cannot prevail against Oneness because it is not real.
Form and Content:
A program in Miracles (ACIM) is very clear that form does not matter. There is nothing in ACIM about behavior and when you judge a brother on his or 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 matches any other.
You won't have peace should you not can answer "yes" to both. Choose again if you need to. It is never too late.
There is Only one of us:
When you judge a brother, you are using the ego mind as cause for that judgment becoming a real effect. This is why we emphasize that what you see in another needs to be understood in yourself first. Here's why: (1) You cannot see fault (judgment) in another should you not chose from that component to the split mind to begin with; (2) You cannot judge what you don't already believe to be true as it is based on the mind you chose from; and (3) Judgment about another is a statement of the remorse kept mentally from the original divorce because you opting for to use the ego mind. It is where you are supposedly still holding onto fear and remorse instead of choosing correction (forgiveness) for the truth.
Absolutely anyone who shows up and provides you with to be able to heal your thoughts is a gift you can use. Turn it into a Holy Relationship. This is how you will return your own mind to God, and how others eventually notice for themselves. Offer the light of forgiveness giving all minds time 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 based on projection, judgment and perception. The ego's point is to protect separate identity and therefore, all attack is really a call for love, or forgiveness, which is joining. The more determined you are to know the truth about yourself and a brother, the more you will choose up against the ego's attacks in favor of correction (forgiveness) from the Right Mind.
Response with love often times will be many things and sometimes, it can even mean no response. Other times, you might need a boundary or take some action. To respond with love, you absolutely must be practicing forgiveness and using the Right Mind to turn over all attack and judgment. The Holy Spirit will give you a solution if you completely turn to that Right Mind for help. "Completely" is the key term.
Eventually you see no attack (error) occurred and that is to know the truth about you and your brother. There is no defense necessary ("defenselessness" on the Split Mind diagram). When you share your determination not to see error, you have shared what you want to keep and learn for yourself. What you share you find you have.
Sharing:
Sharing methods to allow yourself to get another what you want them to have. Your only reason for doing this is because it is what you want to have for yourself. You are teaching them what you want to be yours. Teaching is instruction of ideas and principles. Do that and you will find you have it because you've literally said, "Give back to me what I've taught you. inches
