7 Reasons Abraham Lincoln Would Be Great At A TRAINING COURSE In Miracles

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 regulations of Attraction, a topic which so much has been written about these last few years. ACIM answers not only 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 boils down to may be the choice to change beliefs while residing in this world, or the choice to correct the mind and return home.

Affirmations are not section of A Course in Miracles because they are not necessary and here’s why: There is 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 incorrect side is all the negative judgments; and the proper side is all of the negative judgments trying to convince you how wonderful it really is to live within this negative world. Neither may be the truth of your nature nor where you are trying to return your brain, according to ACIM.

The Law 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 of being “poor,” or lack, nowadays and really wants to change their beliefs to will have “rich” (abundance, prosperity, money) show up. Both “poor” and “rich” are judgments of the ego using 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 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 a couple of things within the ego illusion rather than to choose out of the illusion.

This is in contrast to choosing correction of the mind (forgiveness) where both “poor” and “rich” do not exist. A selection 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 effects you imagine because the ego cannot relate. It returns some of your brain to peace and ends senseless worry over rich and poor. It also produces effects in your life here but you will need to choose correction to see them.

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

The Metaphysics:

Remember, according to ACIM, your brain 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 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 isn’t about affirmations or changing beliefs, as the mind never left God and still resides at home with Him. You can find no “belief” judgments in Love, Oneness, Heaven and Knowledge as everything is the same, all one, and nothing to trust or judge between.

Instead, it is about changing your internal Teacher or rather, who you are listening to for interpretation of events in this world. The only real change is in the decision 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 is no convincing the ego wrong and right mind of another way of thinking. You simply give up what you no longer want. We do it 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 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 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 you no longer desire to the Holy Spirit Right Mind for correction (forgiveness).

The Holy Spirit may be the solution to the separation placed in your brain by God and every answer is there looking forward to you. Atonement, forgiveness, salvation and True Perception are other words that are synonymous. You have 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 your brain, via your choice maker, because you no longer want them.

It really is that simple and only confusing because of the belief that the only 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 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 the mind. The whole point is that you have a selection of which side of the mind 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 in their mind to be true and real; and, (2) not acknowledging the way you feel keeps them hidden so you don’t realize they’re judgments.

You do not “feel” in Heaven, Knowledge and Oneness. It really is an event shared by One.

The decision maker is the mechanism between the two sides of the split mind. It really is neutral, an observer and is something you must employ to watch the mind and the judgments being made by the ego. When 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 solution, or the correction, of the Holy Spirit Right Mind. It requires care of the rest as the Atonement or solution has already been there. No affirmations are essential. You are simply quitting that which you no longer want. It is, and certainly can, be that easy.

Form and Content:

The last component to know from A Course in Miracles is form and content. Form is this world and everything in it. In ACIM, form does not matter and is portion of the “beliefs” to be turned over. However, you use everything in form, together with the judgments in your mind, because the curriculum of what to start 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 people, 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.

a course in miracles In conclusion, think about the simplicity of ACIM which is a Course in training your brain how exactly to perceive properly. You need to return your brain to peace as the Kingdom of God is peace and you cannot start to 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 this, study the ideas and then put it into practice. The help you need will show up; but you, my pal, must do the task of the inward journey back into the mind.

The Law of Cause and Effect is the form, or mind, you’re 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 choice, because no separation occurred, and choose to give it up once and for all.
