The ego uses a variety of predictable patterns because the basis of its thought system is judgment whose origin is due to sin, fear and guilt. Judgment is definitely 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 results 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 original error until the facts are well hidden. Handing over judgments for correction (forgiveness) stops the cycle.
Holy Relationships:
The ego uses special love and hate relationships, and also specialness (being different), to keep the illusion of separation going. Usage of these types of relationships as cause, can be the ego mind as cause; and the effect would be to continue separation between brothers because they are based on the original separation. Remember cause and effect: Your brain you select from, as cause, can lead to the corresponding consequences (effect).
This is simply not about you needing to be alone or avoid relationships in life. It is, however, all about how you enter and utilize them within the mind.
The choice that will set you free would be to elect 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 1. It is “special” and soon you turn 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 TRAINING COURSE in Miracles (ACIM) is very clear that form does not matter. You’ll find nothing in ACIM about behavior and when you judge a brother on his or her behavior, that is the same side of the ego mind. They may 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 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 won’t have peace if you don’t can answer “yes” to both. Choose again if you need to. It is never too late.
There is Only One 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 what you see in another must be forgiven in yourself first. Here’s why: (1) You cannot see fault (judgment) in another if you don’t chose from that portion of the split mind in the first place; (2) You cannot judge what you don’t already believe to be true as it is based on the mind you chose from; and (3) Judgment about another is really a statement of the guilt retained in your mind from the initial separation because you opting for to utilize the ego mind. It is what your location is still holding onto fear and guilt rather than choosing correction (forgiveness) for the truth.
Absolutely anyone who turns up and provides you with to be able to heal your mind is really a gift you can utilize. Turn it right into a Holy Relationship. This is how you will return your personal mind to God, and how others eventually see it for themselves. Contain the light of forgiveness 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 really a conscious mind behavior predicated on projection, judgment and perception. The ego’s point is to protect separate identity and for that reason, all attack is often a call for love, or forgiveness, that is joining. The more determined you are to know the reality about yourself and a brother, the more you will choose against the ego’s attacks in favor of correction (forgiveness) from the proper Mind.
Responding with love can mean a lot of things and sometimes, it could even mean no response. Other times, you may want a boundary or even 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 in the event that you completely turn compared to that Right Mind for help. “Completely” may be the key word.
Eventually you see no attack (error) occurred which is to know the reality about you and your brother. 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 keep and learn on your own. What you share you find you have.
un curso de milagros Sharing:
Sharing means to allow yourself to share with another what you would like them to have. Your only reason behind doing this is because it is what you want to have for yourself. You’re teaching them what you want to be yours. Teaching is instruction of ideas and principles. Do that and you may find you have it because you’ve literally said, “Surrender if you ask me what I’ve taught you.”
