NEVER GIVE UP

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

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

REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect is this: In line with the actually use as cause, you will notice the corresponding effect. Ideas usually do not leave their source: You.



Let’s utilize this example:

Someone is feeling the effects of being “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 deploying it as cause which can only produce ego effect. Ego as an unstable thought system, everything you choose as “rich” will eventually go and you 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 one to choose between a couple of things within the ego illusion and not to choose from the illusion.

This is as opposed to choosing correction of the mind (forgiveness) where both “poor” and “rich” usually do not exist. A choice for correction of the mind allows the Holy Spirit Right Mind to be your cause which affects the you nowadays; however, it does not have the effects you imagine because the ego cannot relate. It returns a portion 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 experience them.

Let’s look at how ACIM breaks this all into a simple set of principles predicated on Cause and Effect. It only includes a few components and when understood and used, they could 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 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) when we forgot to laugh off what cannot be true. It didn’t, however, separate.

So in ACIM it is not about affirmations or changing beliefs, as the mind never left God and still resides aware of Him. There are no “belief” judgments in Love, Oneness, Heaven and Knowledge as everything may be the same, all one, and nothing to trust 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 ease of use is evident in ACIM because there is no convincing the ego wrong and right mind of another way of thinking. You simply give up what you no more want. We do it on a regular basis with ego stuff; and now we just take action 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, and to its natural state of peace. To achieve that is simply a choice of which side of the split mind to listen to for interpretation of events and turning on the judgments you no longer desire to the Holy Spirit Right Mind for correction (forgiveness).

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

It really is that easy and only confusing due to belief that the only choice is between ego judgments of “poor” and “rich,” to utilize the earlier example, and not understanding about this third option being available. The decision 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 your brain 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 in the first place. 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 anything else you do not want because they’re not real.

un curso de milagros en espanol 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 so you don’t realize they are judgments.

You do not “feel” in Heaven, Knowledge and Oneness. It is an experience 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 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 wrong or right mind, you need to be ready to hand them to the perfect solution is, 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 quitting that which you no longer want. It is, and certainly can, be that simple.

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 does not matter and is portion of the “beliefs” to be turned over. However, you use everything in form, combined with the judgments in your mind, 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 are 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 that is a Course in training your mind how to perceive properly. You need to return the mind to peace as the Kingdom of God is peace and you cannot see the doorway from judgment. You merely see peace in peace even though sharing peace with everyone.

All ACIM says is you have the willingness to learn how to do that, 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.

REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect is the form, or mind, you’re using for interpretation will undoubtedly 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 preference, because no separation occurred, and elect to give it up forever.
