The beauty and simplicity of A TRAINING COURSE in Miracles (ACIM) really shines through one of its major principles: REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect. This is different from regulations of Attraction, a topic which so much has been written about these last couple of years. ACIM answers not merely why things will be the way they’re with the mind, but also how exactly to implement these mind corrections had a need to change your life. What it ultimately comes down to may be the choice to change beliefs while residing 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 necessary and here’s why: You will find a “wrong” ego mind, and a “right” ego mind, both which are still portion of the same ego side of the split mind. Within the ego mind (error), the wrong side is all of the negative judgments; and the proper side is all the negative judgments attempting to convince you how wonderful it really is to live here in this negative world. Neither may be the truth of one’s nature nor what your location is trying to return your brain, according to ACIM.

The Law of Cause and Effect is this: According to the mind you use as cause, you will notice the corresponding effect. Ideas usually do not leave their source: You.

Let’s use this example:

Someone is feeling the consequences to be “poor,” or lack, nowadays and really wants to change their beliefs to now have “rich” (abundance, prosperity, money) show up. Both “poor” and “rich” are judgments of the ego deploying it as cause which can only produce ego effect. Ego as an unstable thought system, everything you choose as “rich” will eventually go and you end up back with “poor.” It’s only a question of “when.”

The ego’s choice system is: (1) one or another: (2) poor or rich; and, (3) ego or God. It asks one to choose between a couple of things within the ego illusion rather than to choose from the 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 generally does not have the consequences you imagine because the ego cannot relate. It returns some of your brain to peace and ends senseless worry over rich and poor. In addition, it produces effects that you experienced here but you will have to choose correction to see them.

Let’s look at how ACIM breaks this all into a simple group of principles predicated on Cause and Effect. It only has a few components and when understood and used, they can be “mind” correcting!

The Metaphysics:

Remember, according to ACIM, your brain is split by the ego’s judgment that people could be separate, also referred to as the “tiny mad idea,” or the error that never occurred. This portion of the mind is merely hidden in darkness since it banished itself from Knowledge (Heaven and Oneness) whenever we forgot to laugh off what could not be true. It did not, however, separate.

So in ACIM it isn’t about affirmations or changing beliefs, because the mind never left God but still resides at home with Him. You can find no “belief” judgments in Love, Oneness, Heaven and Knowledge as everything is the same, all one, and nothing to trust or judge between.

Instead, it is about changing your internal Teacher or rather, who you’re listening to for interpretation of events nowadays. The only change is in the decision between your split mind (error) of the ego or the Holy Spirit Right Mind (correction) as that internal Teacher.

That’s where the ease of use 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 do it with the ego beliefs themselves.

Forgiveness:

This says it all: Forgiveness is correction of your brain. 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 mind to God, where it never left, also to its natural state of peace. To achieve that is simply a choice of which side of the split mind to hear for interpretation of events and turning on the judgments so long as want to the Holy Spirit Right Mind for correction (forgiveness).

The Holy Spirit may be the treatment for the separation placed in the mind by God and every answer is there waiting for you. Atonement, forgiveness, salvation and True Perception are other words that are synonymous. You have 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 easy and only confusing because of the belief that the only real choice is between ego judgments of “poor” and “rich,” to use the earlier example, rather than understanding concerning this third option being available. The decision for True Perception would be to choose neither ego judgment and relinquish both for correction of your brain. This is exactly what is takes to return your brain to God.

Decision Maker:

ACIM is aimed at your choice maker in your brain. The whole point is that you’ve got a choice of which side of the mind to hear and use for interpretation. That is all that ever happened to begin with. It was a selection to pay attention, 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 other things you don’t want because they are not real.

Two things stop you from relinquishing judgments: (1) your attachment in their mind as being true and real; and, (2) not acknowledging the method that you feel keeps them hidden and that means you don’t realize they’re judgments.

You do not “feel” in Heaven, Knowledge and Oneness. It is an event shared by One.

The decision maker may be the mechanism between your two sides of the split mind. It is neutral, an observer and is something you need to employ to watch your brain and the judgments being made by the ego. Once you realize you have used something from the ego error of the incorrect or right mind, just be willing to hand them to the perfect solution is, or the correction, of the Holy Spirit Right Mind. It requires care of the rest as the Atonement or solution is already there. No affirmations are necessary. You are simply quitting that which you no longer want. It is, and certainly can, be that easy.

Form and Content:

The last element of know from the Course in Miracles is form and content. Form is this world and everything in it. In ACIM, form does not matter and is section of the “beliefs” to be turned over. However, you use everything in form, together with the judgments in your thoughts, because the curriculum of what things to turn over for correction (forgiveness).

What does matter is content and in ACIM, content is the mind. The mind you’re using for interpretation (perception) of individuals, places, and things, etc., counts for everything. You can only have one master: (1) the Holy Spirit Right Mind (correction); or, (2) the ego wrong mind (error) and which includes both interpretations of the ego mind.

In conclusion, consider the simplicity of ACIM which is a Course in training your brain how exactly to perceive properly. You must return your brain to peace because the Kingdom of God is peace and you cannot see the doorway from judgment. You merely see peace in peace even though sharing peace with everyone.

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

REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect is the form, or mind, you’re using for interpretation will be your effect nowadays. It’ll 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 elect to give it up forever.
