7 Ways You Can Reinvent A TRAINING COURSE In Miracles Without Looking Like An Amateur

The beauty and simplicity of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) really shines through among its major principles: The Law of Cause and Effect. This is different from the Law of Attraction, a subject on which so much has been written about these last few years. ACIM answers not only why things will be 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 comes down to is the choice to improve beliefs while staying in this world, or the decision to correct the mind and return home.

Affirmations are not section of A Course in Miracles because they are not essential and here’s why: There exists a “wrong” ego mind, and a “right” ego mind, both of which are still the main 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 is to live within this negative world. Neither may be the truth of one’s nature nor where you are trying to return your brain, according to ACIM.

REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect is this: Based on the actually 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 consequences 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 that may only produce ego effect. Ego as an unstable thought system, what 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 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 rather than to choose from the illusion.

This is in contrast to choosing correction of the mind (forgiveness) where both “poor” and “rich” usually do not exist. A choice 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 consequences you imagine because the ego cannot relate. It returns a portion of the mind to peace and ends senseless worry over rich and poor. It also produces effects that you experienced here but you will have to choose correction to experience them.

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

The Metaphysics:

Remember, according to 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 part 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 didn’t, however, separate.

So in ACIM it is not about affirmations or changing beliefs, as the mind never left God and still resides aware of Him. There are no “belief” judgments in Love, Oneness, Heaven and Knowledge as everything is the same, all one, and nothing to believe or judge between.

Instead, it is about changing your internal Teacher or rather, who you’re 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.

That’s where the simplicity is evident in ACIM because there’s no convincing the ego wrong and right mind of another way of thinking. You simply quit what you no more want. We take action on a regular basis with ego stuff; and now we just do it 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 brain to God, where it never left, and to its natural state of peace. To do that is simply a choice of which side of the split mind to hear 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 which are synonymous. You have to be willing to utilize the Holy Spirit Right Mind for interpretation of events and do the actual 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 real choice is between ego judgments of “poor” and “rich,” to use the earlier example, rather than understanding concerning 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 targeted at your choice maker in the mind. The complete 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 choice to pay attention, believe and choose judgments of the ego that separation happened and the ensuing sin, guilt and fear. Judgments could be dismissed as easily as you dismiss anything else 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 so you don’t realize they’re judgments.

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

The decision maker may be the mechanism between your two sides of the split mind. It is neutral, an observer and is something you need to employ to watch the mind and the judgments being made by the ego. When you realize you have used something from the ego error of the wrong or right mind, just be willing to hand them to the perfect solution is, or the correction, of the Holy Spirit Right Mind. It requires care of the rest because the Atonement or solution is already there. No affirmations are essential. You are simply giving up that which you no longer want. It is, and certainly can, be that easy.

Form and Content:

The last element of know from the Course in Miracles is form and content. Form is this world and everything inside it. In ACIM, form does not matter and is the main “beliefs” to be turned over. However, you use everything in form, combined with the judgments in your mind, as 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 which includes both interpretations of the ego mind.

In conclusion, consider the simplicity of ACIM that 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 understand how to do this, study the ideas and put it into practice. The help you need will show up; but you, my friend, 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 be your effect in this world. It’ll affect you in different ways by returning your brain back to back to peace where you eventually see the illusion of choice, because no separation occurred, and choose to give it up once and for all. course in miracles
