The beauty and simplicity of A TRAINING COURSE in Miracles (ACIM) really shines through one of its major principles: REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect. That is different from regulations of Attraction, a topic which so much has been discussed these last few years. ACIM answers not merely why things will be the way they are with the mind, but additionally how to implement these mind corrections had a need to change your life. What it ultimately boils down to is the choice to change beliefs while residing in this world, or the choice to correct the mind and return home.

Affirmations are not section of A Course in Miracles because they are not essential and here’s why: There is a “wrong” ego mind, and a “right” ego mind, both of which are still area of the same ego side of the split mind. Within the ego mind (error), the wrong 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. david hoffmeister videos Neither may be the truth of one’s nature nor what your location is trying to return your brain, according to ACIM.

The Law of Cause and Effect is this: Based on the actually 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 of being “poor,” or lack, in this world and wants to change their beliefs to will have “rich” (abundance, prosperity, money) arrive. Both “poor” and “rich” are judgments of the ego using 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 end up back with “poor.” It’s only 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 two things within the ego illusion and not to choose out of your illusion.

This is in contrast to choosing correction of the mind (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 does not have the effects you imagine because 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 that you experienced here but you must choose correction to see them.

Let’s look at how ACIM breaks this all into a simple group of principles based on Cause and Effect. It only has 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 people could be separate, also known as the “tiny mad idea,” or the error that never occurred. This portion 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 isn’t about affirmations or changing beliefs, as the mind never left God but still resides aware of Him. You can find no “belief” judgments in Love, Oneness, Heaven and Knowledge as everything is the same, all one, and nothing to believe or judge between.

Instead, it is all about changing your internal Teacher or rather, who you’re listening to for interpretation of events in this world. The only real change is in the decision between the split mind (error) of the ego or the Holy Spirit Right Mind (correction) as that internal Teacher.

This is where the simplicity is evident in ACIM because there’s no convincing the ego wrong and right mind of another thought process. You simply give up what you no longer want. We take action on a regular basis with ego stuff; and now we just take action with the ego beliefs themselves.

Forgiveness:

This says everything: 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, and to its natural state of peace. To achieve that is simply a choice of which side of the split mind to listen to for interpretation of events and turning over the judgments so long as want to the Holy Spirit Right Mind for correction (forgiveness).

The Holy Spirit may be the treatment for 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 have to be willing to use the Holy Spirit Right Mind for interpretation of events and do the actual work of giving judgments (beliefs) to the side of your brain, via your choice maker, because you no more want them.

It really is that simple and only confusing because of the belief that the only choice is between ego judgments of “poor” and “rich,” to use the earlier example, rather than 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 your brain to God.

Decision Maker:

ACIM is aimed at the decision maker in the mind. The complete point is that you have a choice of which side of the mind to listen to and use for interpretation. That’s all that ever happened to begin with. It was a choice 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 anything else you do not want because they are not real.

A couple of 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’re judgments.

You don’t “feel” in Heaven, Knowledge and Oneness. It 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 should employ to watch your brain and the judgments being created by the ego. When you realize you have used something from the ego error of the incorrect or right mind, you need to be ready 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 has already been there. No affirmations are necessary. You are simply giving up that which you no longer want. It really is, and certainly can, be so 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 will not matter and is portion of the “beliefs” to be turned over. However, you use everything in form, together with the judgments in your thoughts, as the curriculum of what things to start for correction (forgiveness).

What does matter is content and in ACIM, content may be the mind. The mind you’re 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 which includes both interpretations of the ego mind.

In conclusion, think about the simplicity of ACIM that is a Course in training your mind how exactly to perceive properly. You must return your brain to peace because 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 understand how to do this, study the ideas and then put it into practice. The assist you to need will arrive; but you, my pal, must do the task of the inward journey back to the mind.

REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect may be the form, or mind, you are using for interpretation will be your effect in this world. It will affect you in other ways by returning your mind back to back again to peace where you eventually see the illusion of preference, because no separation occurred, and choose to give it up forever.
