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

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

The Law of Cause and Effect is this: According to the mind you 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 consequences to be “poor,” or lack, nowadays and really 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 that may only produce ego effect. Ego being an unstable thought system, everything you choose as “rich” will eventually go and you end up 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 two things within the ego illusion and not to choose from the illusion.

This is in contrast to choosing correction of the mind (forgiveness) where both “poor” and “rich” do not exist. A choice for correction of your brain allows the Holy Spirit Right Mind to be your cause which affects the you nowadays; however, it does not have the consequences you imagine because the ego cannot relate. a course in miracles online It returns some of the mind to peace and ends senseless worry over rich and poor. In addition, it produces effects in your life here but you must choose correction to see them.

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

The Metaphysics:

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

So in ACIM it is not about affirmations or changing beliefs, as the mind never left God but still resides aware of Him. You can find 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 all about changing your internal Teacher or rather, who you are listening to for interpretation of events in this world. The only change is in the choice between the split mind (error) of the ego or the Holy Spirit Right Mind (correction) as that internal Teacher.

That’s where the ease of use is evident in ACIM because there’s no convincing the ego wrong and right mind of another way of thinking. You simply quit what you no more want. We take action all the time 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, there is nothing to forgive because no error has happened, i.e., no separation happened. What you are really doing is simply returning your mind to God, where it never left, also to its natural state of peace. To achieve that is simply a choice of which side of the split mind to hear for interpretation of events and turning over the judgments so long as want to the Holy Spirit Right Mind for correction (forgiveness).

The Holy Spirit is the treatment for the separation placed in your brain by God and every answer will there be waiting for you. Atonement, forgiveness, salvation and True Perception are other words that 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 this side of your brain, via your decision maker, because you no more want them.

It really is that easy and only confusing as a result of belief that the only real choice is between ego judgments of “poor” and “rich,” to utilize 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 your brain. This is what is takes to come back the mind to God.

Decision Maker:

ACIM is targeted at the decision maker in your brain. The whole point is that you’ve got a choice 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 can be dismissed as easily as you dismiss other things you don’t want because they’re not real.

Two things stop you from relinquishing judgments: (1) your attachment in their mind 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’re judgments.

You don’t “feel” in Heaven, Knowledge and Oneness. It really is an event shared by One.

The decision maker is the mechanism between your 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 made by the ego. Once you realize you purchased something from the ego error of the incorrect or right mind, just be ready 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. No affirmations are necessary. You are simply giving up that which you no more want. It is, and certainly can, be that simple.

Form and Content:

The last element of 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 portion of the “beliefs” to be turned over. However, you use everything in form, along 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 individuals, places, and things, etc., counts for everything. It is possible to only have one master: (1) the Holy Spirit Right Mind (correction); or, (2) the ego wrong mind (error) and which includes both interpretations of the ego mind.

In conclusion, consider the simplicity of ACIM which is a Course in training your mind how exactly to perceive properly. You must return your brain to peace because the Kingdom of God is peace and you cannot 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 learn how to do this, study the ideas and then put it into practice. The assist you to need will arrive; but you, my pal, must do the work of the inward journey back to the mind.

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