The ego uses a variety of predictable patterns as the basis of its thought system is judgment whose origin stems from sin, fear and guilt. Judgment is always one or another. un curso de milagros As you perceive a brother through judgment, you’ll project and judge on that brother and soon you perceive the outcomes back. Once those results are perceived, you’ll use perception repeatedly to project and judge them a lot more.
Unfortunately, this uses both sides of the ego wrong mind and compounds the original error until the facts are well hidden. Handing over judgments for correction (forgiveness) stops the cycle.
Holy Relationships:
The ego uses special love and hate relationships, in addition to specialness (being different), to help keep the illusion of separation going. Use of these types of relationships as cause, can be the ego mind as cause; and the result would be to continue separation between brothers because they are using the original separation. Remember cause and effect: The mind you choose from, as cause, will result in the corresponding consequences (effect).
This is simply not about you having to be alone or avoid relationships in life. It really is, however, all about the method that you enter and use them within the mind.
The choice which will set you free would be to elect to have your relationships be Holy Relationships. You must be the person practicing forgiveness in every of your relationships, even if you are the only 1. It is “special” until you turn it “Holy.” To see another as a brother, a prerequisite to going home, holds true Perception which shines a light of truth on you both. The ego cannot prevail against Oneness since it is not real.
Form and Content:
A TRAINING COURSE in Miracles (ACIM) is very clear that form does not matter. There is nothing in ACIM about behavior so when you judge a brother on his or her behavior, this is the same side of the ego mind. They might be acting from the ego “wrong” mind; nevertheless, you are judging from the ego “right” mind. To the ego, one judgment is equivalent to any other.
What the Course says is that content matters. Content may be the mind. ACIM concerns itself with you knowing that you can pick the Holy Spirit Right Mind as your internal Teacher thereby creating a different cause and effect.
Everything you or another does in form (behavior) will not matter. However listed below are two questions to consider:
When I acted, did I act from the Holy Spirit Right Mind? (Content)
Is my interpretation of my buddy from the Holy Spirit Right Mind? (Content)
You will not have peace if you don’t can answer “yes” to both. Choose again if you need to. It is never too late.
There is ONLY 1 of Us:
When you judge a brother, you are using the ego mind as cause for that judgment to become real effect. This is the reason we emphasize that everything you see in another needs to be forgiven in yourself first. Here’s why: (1) You cannot see fault (judgment) in another unless you chose from that part of the split mind to begin with; (2) You cannot judge everything you don’t already believe to be true since it is in line with the mind you chose from; and (3) Judgment about another is really a statement of the guilt retained in your thoughts from the initial separation because you opting for to use the ego mind. It really is where you are still holding onto fear and guilt rather than choosing correction (forgiveness) for the truth.
Absolutely anyone who turns up and you with a chance to heal your mind is a gift you need to use. Turn it into a Holy Relationship. This is one way you will return your personal mind to God, and how others eventually view it for themselves. Contain the light of forgiveness which gives all minds an opportunity to make a different choice. Judge and they run and hide further into darkness and error.
A Call for Love:
Attack is really a conscious mind behavior predicated on projection, judgment and perception. The ego’s point would be to protect separate identity and for that reason, all attack is often a demand love, or forgiveness, that is joining. The more determined you’re to know the truth about yourself and a brother, the more you’ll choose against the ego’s attacks in favor of correction (forgiveness) from the proper Mind.
Responding with love often means a lot of things and sometimes, it can even mean no response. Other times, you may want a boundary or to take some action. To respond with love, you absolutely must be practicing forgiveness and using the Right Mind to show over all attack and judgment. The Holy Spirit will provide you with a solution in the event that you completely turn to that Right Mind for help. “Completely” is the key word.
Eventually you see no attack (error) occurred and that is to know the reality about you and your brother. There is no defense necessary (“defenselessness” on the Split Mind diagram). When you share your willingness never to see error, you have shared what you want to keep and learn for yourself. What you share you find you have.
Sharing:
Sharing means to allow yourself to share with another what you want them to possess. Your only reason for doing this is because it is what you need to have on your own. You’re teaching them what you would like to be yours. Teaching is instruction of ideas and principles. Do this and you will find you own it because you’ve literally said, “Surrender if you ask me what I’ve taught you.”
