The ego uses a selection of predictable patterns as the basis of its thought system is judgment whose origin stems from 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 until you perceive the results back. Once those email address details are perceived, you will use perception repeatedly to project and judge them even 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, and specialness (being different), to help keep the illusion of separation going. Usage of these types of relationships as cause, is also the ego mind as cause; and the effect would be to continue separation between brothers because they are in line with the original separation. Remember cause and effect: The mind you choose from, as cause, will result in the corresponding consequences (effect).
This is simply not about you needing to be alone or avoid relationships in life. It is, however, all about the way you enter and use 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 be the person practicing forgiveness in every of your relationships, even if you are the only 1. It is “special” and soon you transform 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 TRAINING COURSE in Miracles (ACIM) is quite clear that form will not matter. There is nothing in ACIM about behavior so when you judge a brother on his / her behavior, this is the same side of the ego mind. They might be acting from the ego “wrong” mind; nevertheless, 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 knowing that you can choose the Holy Spirit Right Mind as your internal Teacher thereby producing a different cause and effect.
What you or another does in form (behavior) does 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? un curso de milagros (Content)
You won’t have peace unless you can answer “yes” to both. Choose again if you want to. It is never too late.
There is Only One of Us:
When you judge a brother, you’re utilizing the ego mind as cause for that judgment to become a real effect. For this 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 portion of the split mind in the first place; (2) You cannot judge what 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 mind from the initial separation because you are choosing to use the ego mind. It really is where you are still keeping fear and guilt instead of choosing correction (forgiveness) for the reality.
Absolutely anyone who turns up and you with to be able to heal your mind is a gift you need to use. Turn it right into a Holy Relationship. This is how you will return your own mind to God, and how others eventually view it for themselves. Hold the light of forgiveness gives all minds an opportunity to make a different choice. Judge and they run and hide further into darkness and error.
A Call for Love:
Attack is a conscious mind behavior based on projection, judgment and perception. The ego’s point is to protect separate identity and for that reason, all attack is often a demand love, or forgiveness, which is joining. The more determined you’re to know the reality about yourself and a brother, the more you’ll choose contrary to the ego’s attacks and only correction (forgiveness) from the Right Mind.
Responding with love often means a lot of things and sometimes, it could even mean no response. Other times, you might need a boundary or even to take some action. To respond with love, you absolutely must be practicing forgiveness and utilizing the Right Mind to turn over all attack and judgment. The Holy Spirit will provide you with a solution if you completely turn to that Right Mind for help. “Completely” is the key word.
Eventually you see no attack (error) occurred which is to know the reality about you as well as your brother. There is no defense necessary (“defenselessness” on the Split Mind diagram). When you share your willingness never to see error, you have shared what you need to keep and learn for yourself. What you share you discover you have.
Sharing:
Sharing methods to allow yourself to give to another what you would like them to have. Your only reason for doing this is because it is what you need to have on your own. You’re teaching them what you want to be yours. Teaching is instruction of ideas and principles. Do that and you will find you have it because you’ve literally said, “Give back to me what I’ve taught you.”
