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. As you perceive a brother through judgment, you will project and judge on that brother and soon you perceive the outcomes back. Once those email address details 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 original error until the truth is well hidden. Handing over judgments for correction (forgiveness) stops the cycle.
Holy Relationships:
The ego uses special love and hate relationships, and also specialness (being different), to help keep the illusion of separation going. Usage of these types of relationships as cause, can be the ego mind as cause; and the result is to continue separation between brothers because they’re based on the original separation. Remember cause and effect: The mind you select from, as cause, will result in the corresponding consequences (effect).
This is simply not about you needing 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.
un curso de milagros en espanol The choice that will set you free is to choose to have your relationships be Holy Relationships. You need to be the person practicing forgiveness in all of your relationships, even if you are the only 1. 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 you both. The ego cannot prevail against Oneness since it is not real.
Form and Content:
A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is quite clear that form does not matter. You’ll find nothing in ACIM about behavior and when you judge a brother on his / 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.
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 buddy from the Holy Spirit Right Mind? (Content)
You won’t have peace unless you can answer “yes” to both. Choose again if you want to. It really is never too late.
There is Only One of Us:
Once you judge a brother, you are utilizing the ego mind as cause for that judgment to become a real effect. For this 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 if you don’t chose from that part of the split mind in the first place; (2) You cannot judge what 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 a statement of the guilt retained in your mind from the initial separation because you opting for to utilize the ego mind. It is where you are still holding onto fear and guilt rather than choosing correction (forgiveness) for the truth.
Absolutely anyone who shows up and provides you with to be able to heal your mind is really a gift you can utilize. 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 an opportunity to make a different choice. Judge plus they run and hide further into darkness and error.
A Call for Love:
Attack is really a conscious mind behavior based on projection, judgment and perception. The ego’s point would be to protect separate identity and therefore, 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 will choose contrary to the ego’s attacks in favor of correction (forgiveness) from the proper Mind.
Responding with love often means 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 show over all attack and judgment. The Holy Spirit will give you a solution if 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 reality about you as well as your brother. There is no defense necessary (“defenselessness” on the Split Mind diagram). Once you share your willingness never to see error, you have shared what you need to help keep and learn for yourself. What you share you discover you have.
Sharing:
Sharing means to allow yourself to give to another what you would like them to possess. Your only reason for doing this is basically because it is what you would like 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 may find you own it because you’ve literally said, “Surrender if you ask me what I’ve taught you.”
