The ego runs on the 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 the other. As you perceive a brother through judgment, you’ll project and judge on that brother and soon you perceive the results back. Once those email address details are perceived, you’ll use perception repeatedly to project and judge them a lot 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, together with specialness (being different), to keep the illusion of separation going. Usage of these kinds of relationships as cause, can be the ego mind as cause; and the effect is to continue separation between brothers because they’re using the original separation. Remember cause and effect: The mind you select from, as cause, can lead to the corresponding consequences (effect).
This is not about you having to be alone or avoid relationships in life. It really is, however, all about how you enter and utilize them within the mind.
The choice that will set you free would be to choose to have your relationships be Holy Relationships. You need to function as person practicing forgiveness in all of your relationships, even if you are the only one. It is “special” and soon you turn it “Holy.” To see another as a brother, a prerequisite to going home, is True Perception which shines a light of truth on you both. The ego cannot prevail against Oneness since it is not real.
Form and Content:
A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is very clear that form does not matter. There is nothing in ACIM about behavior and when you judge a brother on his or her behavior, this 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 may be the mind. ACIM concerns itself with you knowing that you can pick the Holy Spirit Right Mind as your internal Teacher thereby producing a different cause and effect.
What you or another does in form (behavior) will 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 will not have peace if you don’t can answer “yes” to both. Choose again if you need to. It really is never too late.
There is Only One of Us:
Once you judge a brother, you’re 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 has to be forgiven in yourself first. Here’s why: (1) You cannot see fault (judgment) in another unless you chose from that part of the split mind to begin with; (2) You cannot judge everything you don’t already believe to be true since it is in line with the actually chose from; and (3) Judgment about another is a statement of the guilt retained in your thoughts from the initial separation because you are choosing to use the ego mind. It is where you are still keeping fear and guilt instead of choosing correction (forgiveness) for the reality.
Absolutely anyone who shows up and you with to be able to heal your mind is a gift you may use. Turn it right into a Holy Relationship. This is one way you will return your own mind to God, and how others eventually view it for themselves. Contain the light of forgiveness 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 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 call for love, or forgiveness, that is joining. The more determined you’re to know the reality about yourself and a brother, the more you will choose against the ego’s attacks and only 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 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 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 as well as your brother. un curso de milagros There is absolutely no defense necessary (“defenselessness” on the Split Mind diagram). Once you share your willingness never to see error, you have shared what you want to help keep and learn on your own. What you share you find you have.
