The beauty and simplicity of A TRAINING COURSE in Miracles (ACIM) really shines through one of its major principles: The Law of Cause and Effect. That is different from the Law of Attraction, a topic which so much has been written about these last couple of years. ACIM answers not only why things are the way they’re with the mind, but additionally how exactly to implement these mind corrections needed to change your life. What it ultimately comes down to may be the choice to improve beliefs while staying in this world, or the choice to correct your brain and return home.

Affirmations are not part of A TRAINING 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 the main same ego side of the split mind. Within the ego mind (error), the wrong side is all of 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 what your location is trying to return your brain, according to ACIM.

REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect is this: In line with 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 effects 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 also find yourself 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 two things within the ego illusion and not to choose out of your illusion.

This is as opposed 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 since the ego cannot relate. It returns a portion of the mind to peace and ends senseless worry over rich and poor. It also 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 group of principles based on Cause and Effect. It only includes a few components and when understood and used, they might be “mind” correcting!

The Metaphysics:

Remember, in accordance with ACIM, your brain is split by the ego’s judgment that people could be separate, generally known as the “tiny mad idea,” or the error that never occurred. This part of the mind is merely hidden in darkness because it banished itself from Knowledge (Heaven and Oneness) when we forgot to laugh off what cannot be true. It didn’t, however, separate.

So in ACIM it is not about affirmations or changing beliefs, because the mind never left God and still resides aware of 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 about changing your internal Teacher or rather, who you are hearing for interpretation of events nowadays. The only real change is in the decision between your 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 is no convincing the ego wrong and right mind of another thought process. You simply give up what you no more want. We do it all the time 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 brain to God, where it never left, also to its natural state of peace. To do 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 desire to the Holy Spirit Right Mind for correction (forgiveness).

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

It really is that simple 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 concerning this third option being available. The choice for True Perception would be to choose neither ego judgment and relinquish both for correction of the mind. This is what is takes to return the mind to God.

un curso de milagros Decision Maker:

ACIM is aimed at the decision maker in your brain. The complete point is that you have a choice of which side of your brain to hear and use for interpretation. That is all that ever happened in the first place. It was a choice to listen, believe and choose judgments of the ego that separation happened and the ensuing sin, guilt and fear. Judgments could be dismissed as easily as you dismiss anything else you do not want because they’re not real.

Two things stop you from relinquishing judgments: (1) your attachment in their mind as being true and real; and, (2) not acknowledging how you feel keeps them hidden which 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 is the mechanism between the two sides of the split mind. It really is neutral, an observer and is something you have to employ to watch your brain and the judgments being created by the ego. Once you realize you purchased something from the ego error of the wrong or right mind, just be willing to hand them to the perfect solution is, or the correction, of the Holy Spirit Right Mind. It takes care of the rest as the Atonement or solution is already there. No affirmations are essential. You are simply quitting that which you no longer want. It really is, and certainly can, be that easy.

Form and Content:

The last component to 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 the main “beliefs” to be turned over. However, you utilize everything in form, together with the judgments in your thoughts, because the curriculum of what things to start for correction (forgiveness).

What does matter is content and in ACIM, content is the mind. The mind you are using for interpretation (perception) of people, 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 that includes both interpretations of the ego mind.

In conclusion, consider the simplicity of ACIM that is a Course in training your mind how to perceive properly. You need to return the mind to peace because the Kingdom of God is peace and you cannot see the doorway from judgment. You only see peace in peace and while sharing peace with everyone.

All ACIM says is you have the willingness to learn how to do this, study the ideas and put it into practice. The assist you to need will arrive; but you, my friend, must do the work of this inward journey back into the mind.

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