NEVER GIVE UP

The beauty and simplicity of A TRAINING COURSE in Miracles (ACIM) really shines through among its major principles: REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect. This is different from the Law of Attraction, a topic on which so much has been discussed these last few years. ACIM answers not merely 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 comes down to may be the choice to change beliefs while staying in this world, or the choice to correct the mind and return home.

Affirmations are not part 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 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 right side is all of the negative judgments trying to convince you how wonderful it really is to live within this negative world. Neither is the truth of your nature nor where you are 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 do not leave their source: You.

Let’s utilize this example:

Someone is feeling the consequences to be “poor,” or lack, nowadays and wants to change their beliefs to will have “rich” (abundance, prosperity, money) show up. Both “poor” and “rich” are judgments of the ego deploying it as cause that may only produce ego effect. Ego as an unstable thought system, everything 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 the other: (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 the illusion.

This is in contrast to choosing correction of your brain (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 in this world; however, it does not have the effects you imagine since 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 that you experienced here but you must choose correction to experience them.

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

The Metaphysics:

Remember, in accordance with ACIM, the mind is split by the ego’s judgment that people could be separate, also called the “tiny mad idea,” or the error that never occurred. This portion of the mind is simply hidden in darkness because it banished itself from Knowledge (Heaven and Oneness) whenever we forgot to laugh off what could not 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 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 are hearing for interpretation of events in this world. The only real change is in the choice between your 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 thought process. You simply give up what you no more want. We take action 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, 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 achieve that is simply a choice of which side of the split mind to hear for interpretation of events and turning on the judgments you no longer want to the Holy Spirit Right Mind for correction (forgiveness).

The Holy Spirit is the solution to the separation placed in the mind by God and every answer is there looking forward to 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 the side of the mind, via your decision maker, because you no longer want them.

It really is that simple 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, and not understanding relating to this third option being available. The decision for True Perception would be to choose neither ego judgment and relinquish both for correction of the mind. This is exactly what is takes to return your brain to God.

Decision Maker:

ACIM is aimed at the decision maker in your brain. The complete point is that you’ve got a choice of which side of your brain to hear and use for interpretation. That’s 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 other things you do not want because they are not real.

Two things stop you from relinquishing judgments: (1) your attachment to them to be true and real; and, (2) not acknowledging how 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 is an event shared by One.

The decision maker may be the mechanism between the two sides of the split mind. It is neutral, an observer and is something you should 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 takes care of the others as 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 will not matter and is portion of the “beliefs” to be turned over. However, you utilize everything in form, together with the judgments in your mind, because the curriculum of what to turn over for correction (forgiveness).

What does matter is content and in ACIM, content is 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 that includes both interpretations of the ego mind.

In conclusion, think about the simplicity of ACIM that is a Course in training your brain how to perceive properly. You need to return the mind to peace as the Kingdom of God is peace and you also 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 understand how to do that, study the ideas and put it into practice. un curso de milagros The help you need will arrive; but you, my friend, must do the work of the inward journey back into the mind.

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