The beauty and simplicity of A TRAINING COURSE in Miracles (ACIM) really shines through one of its major principles: REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect. un curso de milagros That is different from the Law of Attraction, a topic on which so much has been written about these last few years. ACIM answers not merely why things are the way they are 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 may be the choice to change beliefs while residing in this world, or the decision to correct your brain and return home.

Affirmations are not part of A TRAINING COURSE in Miracles because they are not necessary and here’s why: There exists a “wrong” ego mind, and a “right” ego mind, both of which are still part of the same ego side of the split mind. Within the ego mind (error), the incorrect side is all of the negative judgments; and the proper side is all the negative judgments trying to convince you how wonderful it is to live here in this negative world. Neither is the truth of your nature nor what your location is trying to return your brain, according to ACIM.

The Law of Cause and Effect is this: In line with the mind you use as cause, you will notice the corresponding effect. Ideas do not leave their source: You.



Let’s use this example:

Someone is feeling the consequences of being “poor,” or lack, in this world and really wants to change their beliefs to now have “rich” (abundance, prosperity, money) show up. Both “poor” and “rich” are judgments of the ego deploying 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 also find yourself back with “poor.” It’s just a question of “when.”

The ego’s choice system is: (1) one or another: (2) poor or rich; and, (3) ego or God. It asks one to choose between two things within the ego illusion rather than to choose out from the illusion.

This is as opposed to choosing correction of your brain (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 generally does not have the consequences you imagine since the ego cannot relate. It returns some of your brain to peace and ends senseless worry over rich and poor. It also produces effects in your life here but you will have to choose correction to see them.

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

The Metaphysics:

Remember, according to ACIM, your brain is split by the ego’s judgment that we could be separate, also known as the “tiny mad idea,” or the error that never occurred. This part of the mind is simply hidden in darkness because it banished itself from Knowledge (Heaven and Oneness) when we forgot to laugh off what cannot be true. It did not, however, separate.

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

Instead, it is about changing your internal Teacher or rather, who you’re hearing for interpretation of events nowadays. 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 ease of use 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 longer want. We take action all the time with ego stuff; and now we just take action with the ego beliefs themselves.

Forgiveness:

This says everything: Forgiveness is correction of your brain. In ACIM, there is nothing to forgive because no error has happened, i.e., no separation happened. What you are doing is simply returning your brain to God, where it never left, and to its natural state of peace. To achieve that is simply either which side of the split mind to listen to 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 is the treatment for the separation placed in your brain by God and every answer will there be looking forward to you. Atonement, forgiveness, salvation and True Perception are other words that are synonymous. You need to be willing to use the Holy Spirit Right Mind for interpretation of events and do the specific work of giving judgments (beliefs) to this side of your brain, via your choice maker, because you no more want them.

It really is that easy 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, and not understanding about this third option being available. The decision for True Perception would be to choose neither ego judgment and relinquish both for correction of the mind. This is what is takes to come back the mind to God.

Decision Maker:

ACIM is aimed at your choice maker in your brain. The complete point is that you’ve got a choice of which side of the mind to hear and use for interpretation. That is all that ever happened to begin with. It was a choice to listen, believe and choose judgments of the ego that separation happened and the ensuing sin, guilt and fear. Judgments can be dismissed as easily as you dismiss anything else you do not want because they are not real.

A couple of things stop you from relinquishing judgments: (1) your attachment to them to be true and real; and, (2) not acknowledging the method that you feel keeps them hidden which means you don’t realize they are judgments.

You don’t “feel” in Heaven, Knowledge and Oneness. It really is an experience shared by One.

The decision maker may be the mechanism between your two sides of the split mind. It really is neutral, an observer and is something you will need to employ to watch your brain and the judgments being made by the ego. When you realize you have used something from the ego error of the incorrect 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 others because the Atonement or solution is already there. No affirmations are necessary. You are simply quitting that which you no more 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 in it. In ACIM, form does not matter and is section of the “beliefs” to be turned over. However, you utilize everything in form, along with the judgments in your thoughts, as the curriculum of what things to turn over for correction (forgiveness).

What does matter is content and in ACIM, content may be the mind. The mind you are using for interpretation (perception) of individuals, places, and things, etc., counts for everything. You can only have one master: (1) the Holy Spirit Right Mind (correction); or, (2) the ego wrong mind (error) and that includes both interpretations of the ego mind.

In conclusion, consider the simplicity of ACIM that is a Course in training your mind how to perceive properly. You must return your brain to peace as the Kingdom of God is peace and you also cannot start to see the doorway from judgment. You merely see peace in peace and while sharing peace with everyone.

All ACIM says is you have the willingness to learn how to do this, study the ideas and then put it into practice. The assist you to need will arrive; but you, my friend, must do the work of this inward journey back into the mind.

REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect may be the form, or mind, you are using for interpretation will undoubtedly be your effect nowadays. It’ll affect you in different ways by returning your mind back to back again to peace where you eventually see the illusion of choice, because no separation occurred, and elect to give it up once and for all.
