The ego runs on the selection of predictable patterns because the basis of its thought system is judgment whose origin is due to sin, fear and guilt. Judgment is definitely one or another. un curso de milagros As you perceive a brother through judgment, you will 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 even more.
Unfortunately, this uses both sides of the ego wrong mind and compounds the initial 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, along with specialness (being different), to help keep the illusion of separation going. Use of these kinds of relationships as cause, is also the ego mind as cause; and the result would be to continue separation between brothers because they are in line with the original separation. Remember cause and effect: Your brain you choose from, as cause, can lead to the corresponding consequences (effect).
This is not about you needing to be alone or avoid relationships in life. It is, however, all about how you enter and utilize them within the mind.
The choice that may set you free is to elect to have your relationships be Holy Relationships. You must function as person practicing forgiveness in every of your relationships, even if you are the only one. It is “special” and soon you transform it “Holy.” To see another as a brother, a prerequisite to going home, is 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 will not matter. There is nothing in ACIM about behavior and when you judge a brother on his or her behavior, that is the same side of the ego mind. They might be acting from the ego “wrong” mind; but 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 is the mind. ACIM concerns itself with you understanding that you can pick the Holy Spirit Right Mind as your internal Teacher thereby producing a different cause and effect.
What you or another does in form (behavior) will not matter. However here are two questions to consider:
When I acted, did I act from the Holy Spirit Right Mind? (Content)
Is my interpretation of my brother 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 want to. It really is never too late.
There is ONLY 1 of Us:
Once you judge a brother, you are utilizing the ego mind as cause for that judgment to become real effect. This is why we emphasize that everything you see in another has to be forgiven in yourself first. Here’s why: (1) You cannot see fault (judgment) in another if you don’t chose from that portion 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 mind from the original separation because you are choosing to utilize the ego mind. It is what your location is still holding onto fear and guilt rather than choosing correction (forgiveness) for the truth.
Absolutely anyone who turns up and provides you with a chance to heal your mind is a gift you may use. Turn it into a Holy Relationship. This is how you will return your own mind to God, and how others eventually see it for themselves. Hold the light of forgiveness gives all minds a chance to make a different choice. Judge plus they run and hide further into darkness and error.
A Call for Love:
Attack is a conscious mind behavior predicated on projection, judgment and perception. The ego’s point is to protect separate identity and for that reason, all attack is often a call for love, or forgiveness, that is joining. The more determined you are to know the truth about yourself and a brother, the more you’ll choose against the ego’s attacks and only correction (forgiveness) from the Right Mind.
Responding with love can mean many things and sometimes, it could even mean no response. Other times, you may want a boundary or even to take some action. To respond with love, you absolutely should be practicing forgiveness and using the Right Mind to turn over all attack and judgment. The Holy Spirit will give you a solution in the event that you completely turn compared to that Right Mind for help. “Completely” may be the key word.
Eventually you see no attack (error) occurred and that is to know the truth 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 methods to allow yourself to share with another what you need them to have. Your only reason behind 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 have it because you’ve literally said, “Surrender to me what I’ve taught you.”
