The ego uses a selection of predictable patterns as the basis of its thought system is judgment whose origin is due to 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 until you perceive the outcomes back. Once those results are perceived, you will 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 truth is well hidden. Handing over judgments for correction (forgiveness) stops the cycle.
Holy Relationships:
The ego uses special love and hate relationships, in addition to specialness (being different), to keep the illusion of separation going. Use of these types of relationships as cause, is also 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, can lead to the corresponding consequences (effect).
This is simply not about you having to be alone or avoid relationships in life. It really is, however, all about how you enter and use them within the mind.
The choice that will set you free would be to choose to have your relationships be Holy Relationships. You must function as person practicing forgiveness in all of your relationships, even though 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 Course in Miracles (ACIM) is quite clear that form does not matter. un curso de milagros You’ll find nothing in ACIM about behavior and when you judge a brother on his / her behavior, that is the same side of the ego mind. They might 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 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) does not matter. However listed below are two questions to consider:
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 unless you can answer “yes” to both. Choose again if you want to. It really is never too late.
There is ONLY 1 of Us:
When you judge a brother, you are using the ego mind as cause for that judgment to become real effect. Because of this , 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 unless you chose from that portion of the split mind to begin with; (2) You cannot judge everything you don’t already believe to be true since it is based on the mind you chose from; and (3) Judgment about another is really a statement of the guilt retained in your thoughts from the initial separation because you opting for to use the ego mind. It really is what your location is still keeping fear and guilt rather than choosing correction (forgiveness) for the reality.
Absolutely anyone who turns up and you with a chance to heal your mind is a gift you should use. Turn it right into a Holy Relationship. This is how you will return your own mind to God, and how others eventually see it for themselves. Contain the light of forgiveness which gives all minds an opportunity to create 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 is to protect separate identity and therefore, all attack is often a call for 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 contrary to the ego’s attacks in favor of correction (forgiveness) from the Right Mind.
Responding with love often means many things and sometimes, it can even mean no response. Other times, you might need a boundary or even to take some action. To respond with love, you absolutely must be practicing forgiveness and utilizing the Right Mind to turn over all attack and judgment. The Holy Spirit will provide you with a solution if you completely turn compared to that Right Mind for help. “Completely” is the key word.
Eventually you see no attack (error) occurred and that is to know the truth about you and your brother. There is no defense necessary (“defenselessness” on the Split Mind diagram). Once you share your willingness not to see error, you have shared what you would like to keep and learn for yourself. What you share you discover you have.
Sharing:
Sharing means to allow yourself to share with another what you want them to have. Your only reason behind doing this is basically because it is what you want to have on your own. You’re teaching them what you need to be yours. Teaching is instruction of ideas and principles. Do this and you will find you have it because you’ve literally said, “Give back if you ask me what I’ve taught you.”
