The beauty and simplicity of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) really shines through one of its major principles: REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect. That is different from the Law of Attraction, a topic which so much has been written about these last few years. ACIM answers not merely why things will be the way they’re with the mind, but additionally how exactly to implement these mind corrections needed to change your daily life. What it ultimately comes down to is the choice to change beliefs while residing in this world, or the decision to correct the mind and return home.
Affirmations are not part of A Course in Miracles as they are not essential and here’s why: There is a “wrong” ego mind, and a “right” ego mind, both of which are still portion 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 of the negative judgments attempting to convince you how wonderful it is to live within this negative world. Neither is the truth of your nature nor what your location is trying to return your brain, according to ACIM.
REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect is this: In line with the mind you use as cause, you will see the corresponding effect. Ideas usually do not leave their source: You.
Let’s utilize 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 which can only produce ego effect. Ego being an unstable thought system, what you choose as “rich” will eventually go and you also 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 rather than to choose out from the illusion.
This is as opposed to choosing correction of the mind (forgiveness) where both “poor” and “rich” do not exist. A selection 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 consequences you imagine since the ego cannot relate. It returns a portion of your brain to peace and ends senseless worry over rich and poor. It also 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 so when understood and used, they are often “mind” correcting!
The Metaphysics:
Remember, in accordance with ACIM, the mind 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 portion of the mind is merely hidden in darkness because it banished itself from Knowledge (Heaven and Oneness) when we forgot to laugh off what could not be true. It did not, however, separate.
So in ACIM it is not about affirmations or changing beliefs, as the mind never left God but still resides at home with 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 about changing your internal Teacher or rather, who you are hearing for interpretation of events nowadays. un curso de milagros 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 thought process. You simply quit 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. In ACIM, you’ll find 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 do that is simply a choice of which side of the split mind to listen to 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 will there be looking forward to you. Atonement, forgiveness, salvation and True Perception are other words that are synonymous. You need to be willing to utilize the Holy Spirit Right Mind for interpretation of events and do the specific work of giving judgments (beliefs) to the side of the mind, via your choice maker, because you no longer want them.
It really is that easy and only confusing as a result of belief that the only choice is between ego judgments of “poor” and “rich,” to use the earlier example, rather than understanding relating to 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 aimed at your choice maker in the mind. The whole point is that you’ve got a selection of which side of your brain to listen to and use for interpretation. That’s all that ever happened to begin with. It was a selection to listen, 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 to them to be true and real; and, (2) not acknowledging the method that you feel keeps them hidden so you don’t realize they are judgments.
You don’t “feel” in Heaven, Knowledge and Oneness. It really is an event shared by One.
The decision maker may be the mechanism between the two sides of the split mind. It really is neutral, an observer and is something you must employ to watch your brain and the judgments being made by the ego. Once you realize you have used something from the ego error of the incorrect 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 takes care of the others as the Atonement or solution has already been there. No affirmations are essential. You are simply giving up that which you no more want. It really is, and certainly can, be that simple.
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 the main “beliefs” to be turned over. However, you utilize everything in form, combined with the judgments in your mind, as the curriculum of what things to start 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, consider the simplicity of ACIM that is a Course in training your mind how exactly to perceive properly. You need to return your brain to peace as the Kingdom of God is peace and you also cannot start to see the doorway from judgment. You only see peace in peace and while 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 help you need will arrive; but you, my friend, must do the work of this inward journey back into the mind.
The Law of Cause and Effect may be the form, or mind, you are using for interpretation will undoubtedly be your effect in this world. It’ll affect you in other ways by returning your mind back to back to peace where you eventually start to see the illusion of choice, because no separation occurred, and elect to give it up once and for all.
