The ego uses a selection of predictable patterns as the basis of its thought system is judgment whose origin is due to sin, fear and guilt. Judgment is always one or another. As you perceive a brother through judgment, you’ll 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 even more.

Unfortunately, this uses both sides of the ego wrong mind and compounds the initial 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. Use 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’re using the original separation. Remember cause and effect: Your brain 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 really is, however, all about the way you enter and use them within the mind.

The choice that may set you free is to elect to have your relationships be Holy Relationships. You must function as 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 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 will not matter. You’ll find 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; 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 knowing that you can choose 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 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 want 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 a real effect. This is the reason we emphasize that everything 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 what you don’t already believe to be true since it is based on the actually chose from; and (3) Judgment about another is really a statement of the guilt retained in your mind from the original separation because you opting for to use the ego mind. It is where you are still keeping fear and guilt rather than choosing correction (forgiveness) for the truth.

Absolutely anyone who turns up and you with to be able to heal your mind is really 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. Contain the light of forgiveness gives all minds an opportunity to create a different choice. Judge and 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 really a call for love, or forgiveness, which is joining. The more determined you’re 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 many things and sometimes, it could even mean no response. Other times, you might need a boundary or 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 give you a solution if you completely turn compared 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 as well as your brother. There is no defense necessary (“defenselessness” on the Split Mind diagram). Once you share your willingness not to see error, you have shared what you would like to keep and learn on your own. What you share you discover you have.

Sharing:

Sharing means to allow yourself to give to another what you need them to possess. Your only reason behind doing this is basically 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 will find you have it because you’ve literally said, “Surrender to me what I’ve taught you.” a course in miracles
