RIGHT TIME

The beauty and simplicity of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) really shines through one of its major principles: The Law of Cause and Effect. This is different from the Law of Attraction, a topic which so much has been written about these last few years. ACIM answers not only why things are the way they are with the mind, but additionally how exactly to implement these mind corrections had a need to change your daily life. What it ultimately comes down to is the choice to change 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 necessary and here’s why: There is a “wrong” ego mind, and a “right” ego mind, both which are still portion of the 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 is the truth of your nature nor where you are trying to return your brain, according to ACIM.

REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect is this: In line with the mind you 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 which can 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 just 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 one to choose between a couple of 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” do not exist. A selection for correction of your brain 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 since the ego cannot relate. It returns some of the mind to peace and ends senseless worry over rich and poor. In addition, it produces effects in your life here but you will need to choose correction to experience them.

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

The Metaphysics:

Remember, according to ACIM, the mind is split by the ego’s judgment that we could be separate, generally known as the “tiny mad idea,” or the error that never occurred. This portion of the mind is simply hidden in darkness since 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 isn’t about affirmations or changing beliefs, because the mind never left God but 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 believe or judge between.

Instead, it is all about changing your internal Teacher or rather, who you are listening to 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 thought process. You simply quit what you no longer want. We do it on a regular basis with ego stuff; and now we just take action with the ego beliefs themselves.

Forgiveness:

This says it all: 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 mind to God, where it never left, also to its natural state of peace. To achieve that is simply either which side of the split mind to hear for interpretation of events and turning on the judgments you no longer want to the Holy Spirit Right Mind for correction (forgiveness).

The Holy Spirit is the solution to the separation placed in the mind by God and every answer will there be waiting for you. Atonement, forgiveness, salvation and True Perception are other words which are synonymous. You need to be willing to utilize the Holy Spirit Right Mind for interpretation of events and do the actual work of giving judgments (beliefs) to this side of your brain, via your decision maker, because you no longer want them.

It really is that easy and only confusing due to the belief that the only real choice is between ego judgments of “poor” and “rich,” to utilize the earlier example, rather than understanding relating to this third option being available. The choice for True Perception is to choose neither ego judgment and relinquish both for correction of your brain. This is exactly what is takes to return the mind to God.

Decision Maker:

ACIM is targeted at your choice maker in the mind. The whole point is that you’ve got a choice of which side of your brain to hear and use for interpretation. That is all that ever happened to begin with. It was a selection to pay attention, 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 other things you do not want because they are not real.

Two things stop you from relinquishing judgments: (1) your attachment in their mind to be true and real; and, (2) not acknowledging the way you feel keeps them hidden and that means you don’t realize they are judgments.

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

The decision maker is the mechanism between the two sides of the split mind. It is neutral, an observer and is something you have to employ to watch the mind and the judgments being created by the ego. When you realize you have used something from the ego error of the wrong or right mind, you need to 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 quitting that which you no longer want. It is, and certainly can, be that easy.

a course in miracles videos Form and Content:

The last component to know from A 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 use everything in form, together with the judgments in your mind, because the curriculum of what things 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, think about the simplicity of ACIM that is a Course in training your brain how exactly to perceive properly. You must return your brain to peace as the Kingdom of God is peace and you cannot 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 that, study the ideas and put it into practice. The assist you to need will show up; but you, my friend, must do the work of this inward journey back to the mind.

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