The ego uses a variety of predictable patterns because the basis of its thought system is judgment whose origin stems from sin, fear and guilt. Judgment is definitely 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 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, in addition to specialness (being different), to keep the illusion of separation going. Use of these kind of relationships as cause, is also the ego mind as cause; and the effect is to continue separation between brothers because they’re in line with the original separation. Remember cause and effect: Your brain you select from, as cause, will result in the corresponding consequences (effect).

This is 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 choose to have your relationships be Holy Relationships. You must 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, is True Perception which shines a light of truth 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. You’ll find nothing in ACIM about behavior so 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 equivalent to any other.

What the Course says is that content matters. Content may be 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) will not matter. However here are two questions to ask yourself:

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 want to. It is never too late.

There is ONLY 1 of Us:

Once you judge a brother, you are utilizing the ego mind as cause for that judgment to become a real effect. This is the reason we emphasize that what you see in another should be forgiven in yourself first. Here’s why: (1) You cannot see fault (judgment) in another if you don’t chose from that part of the split mind in the first place; (2) You cannot judge everything 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 are choosing to utilize the ego mind. It is where you are still keeping fear and guilt rather than choosing correction (forgiveness) for the reality.

Absolutely anyone who shows up and you with a chance to heal your mind is a gift you can utilize. Turn it right into a Holy Relationship. This is one way you will return your personal mind to God, and how others eventually view it for themselves. Hold the light of forgiveness which gives all minds a chance to make a different choice. Judge plus they run and hide further into darkness and error.

un curso de milagros 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’re to know the truth about yourself and a brother, the more you’ll choose against the ego’s attacks and only 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 to take some action. To respond with love, you absolutely must be practicing forgiveness and using the Right Mind to show over all attack and judgment. The Holy Spirit will give you a solution if you completely turn to that Right Mind for help. “Completely” is the key word.

Eventually you see no attack (error) occurred and that is to know the reality about you and your brother. There is absolutely no defense necessary (“defenselessness” on the Split Mind diagram). When you share your willingness not to see error, you have shared what you need to keep and learn on your own. What you share you find you have.

Sharing:

Sharing methods to allow yourself to share with another what you want them to possess. Your only reason for doing this is because it is what you would like 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 own it because you’ve literally said, “Surrender if you ask me what I’ve taught you.”
