The ego runs on the selection 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’ll project and judge on that brother until 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, as well as specialness (being different), to help keep the illusion of separation going. Use of these kind of relationships as cause, is also the ego mind as cause; and the result would be to continue separation between brothers because they are 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 not about you having to be alone or avoid relationships in life. It is, however, all about the way you enter and utilize them within the mind.
un curso de milagros The choice that may set you free would be to choose 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 one. It is “special” until you transform it “Holy.” To see another as a brother, a prerequisite to going home, holds true Perception which shines a light of truth you both. The ego cannot prevail against Oneness because it is not real.
Form and Content:
A TRAINING COURSE in Miracles (ACIM) is quite clear that form does 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 may be acting from the ego “wrong” mind; but you are judging from the ego “right” mind. To the ego, one judgment is the same as any other.
What the Course says is that content matters. Content is the mind. ACIM concerns itself with you understanding that you can choose the Holy Spirit Right Mind as your internal Teacher thereby producing a different cause and effect.
Everything you or another does in form (behavior) will not matter. However listed below are two questions to ask yourself:
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 won’t have peace if you don’t can answer “yes” to both. Choose again if you want to. It is never too late.
There is Only One of Us:
Once 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 what you see in another should be forgiven in yourself first. Here’s why: (1) You cannot see fault (judgment) in another unless you chose from that portion of the split mind in the first place; (2) You cannot judge what you don’t already believe to be true since it is using the actually chose from; and (3) Judgment about another is really a statement of the guilt retained in your mind from the initial separation because you are choosing to utilize the ego mind. It really is what your location is still keeping fear and guilt instead of choosing correction (forgiveness) for the truth.
Absolutely anyone who shows up and provides you with a chance to heal your mind is a gift you should use. Turn it right into a Holy Relationship. This is one way you will return your personal mind to God, and how others eventually view it for themselves. Hold the light of forgiveness which 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 would be to protect separate identity and for that reason, all attack is really 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 and only correction (forgiveness) from the proper Mind.
Responding with love often means a lot of things and sometimes, it could even mean no response. Other times, you may want a boundary or to take some action. To respond with love, you absolutely should be practicing forgiveness and utilizing the Right Mind to show 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” is the key word.
Eventually you see no attack (error) occurred which is to know the reality about you and your brother. There is absolutely no defense necessary (“defenselessness” on the Split Mind diagram). When you share your willingness not to see error, you have shared what you need to keep and learn on your own. What you share you find you have.
Sharing:
Sharing methods to allow yourself to give to another what you would like them to possess. Your only reason for doing this is because it is what you need to have for yourself. You are teaching them what you need to be yours. Teaching is instruction of ideas and principles. Do that and you will find you have it because you’ve literally said, “Surrender if you ask me what I’ve taught you.”
