7 Guilt Free A Course In Miracles Tips
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 the Law of Attraction, a subject which so much has been written about these last couple of years. ACIM answers not only why things are the way they are with the mind, but also how to implement these mind corrections needed to change your daily life. What it ultimately comes down to is the choice to improve beliefs while residing in this world, or the choice to correct the mind and return home.
Affirmations are not part of A TRAINING COURSE in Miracles because they are not necessary 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 the negative judgments; and the right side is all of the negative judgments trying to convince you how wonderful it really is to live here in this negative world. Neither is the truth of one’s nature nor where you are trying to return your brain, according to ACIM.
REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect is this: According to 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 consequences to be “poor,” or lack, in this world 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 also end up back with “poor.” It’s only 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 rather than to choose out from the illusion.
This is as opposed to choosing correction of the mind (forgiveness) where both “poor” and “rich” usually do not exist. A selection for correction of the mind allows the Holy Spirit Right Mind to be your cause which affects the you nowadays; however, it generally does not have the effects you imagine since the ego cannot relate. It returns a portion of your brain to peace and ends senseless worry over rich and poor. It also produces effects in your life here but you will have to choose correction to see them.
Let’s look at how ACIM breaks this all down into a simple group of principles based on Cause and Effect. It only has a few components and when understood and used, they may be “mind” correcting!
The Metaphysics:
Remember, in accordance with ACIM, the mind is split by the ego’s judgment that we could be separate, also called 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) whenever we forgot to laugh off what cannot be true. It did not, however, separate.
So in ACIM it is not about affirmations or changing beliefs, as 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 all about changing your internal Teacher or rather, who you’re hearing for interpretation of events nowadays. The only change is in the choice between your split mind (error) of the ego or the Holy Spirit Right Mind (correction) as that internal Teacher.
That’s 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 take action on a regular basis with ego stuff; and today we just do it 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 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 over the judgments you no longer want to the Holy Spirit Right Mind for correction (forgiveness).
The Holy Spirit is the treatment for the separation put into your brain by God and every answer is there looking forward to you. Atonement, forgiveness, salvation and True Perception are other words which are synonymous. You need to be willing to use the Holy Spirit Right Mind for interpretation of events and do the actual work of giving judgments (beliefs) to the side of your brain, via your choice maker, because you no longer want them.
It really is that easy and only confusing due to belief that the only choice is between ego judgments of “poor” and “rich,” to use the earlier example, rather than understanding about this third option being available. The choice for True Perception is to choose neither ego judgment and relinquish both for correction of your brain. This is exactly what is takes to come back your brain to God.
Decision Maker:
ACIM is targeted at the decision maker in your brain. The whole point is that you’ve got a selection of which side of the mind to hear and use for interpretation. That’s 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 other things you do not want because they’re not real.
Two things stop you from relinquishing judgments: (1) your attachment to them as being true and real; and, (2) not acknowledging the way you feel keeps them hidden which means you don’t realize they’re judgments.
You do not “feel” in Heaven, Knowledge and Oneness. It is an experience shared by One.

It is neutral, an observer and is something you should employ to watch the mind and the judgments being created by the ego. Once you realize you have used something from the ego error of the incorrect or right mind, you need to 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 more want. It is, and certainly can, be that simple.
Form and Content:
The last component to know from the Course in Miracles is form and content. Form is this world and everything inside 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 mind, 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 are 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 that is a Course in training your brain how exactly to perceive properly. You need to return your brain to peace as the Kingdom of God is peace and you also 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 understand how to do that, study the ideas and then put it into practice. The help you need will arrive; but you, my friend, must do the task of the inward journey back to the mind.
The Law of Cause and Effect may be the form, or mind, you are using for interpretation will undoubtedly be your effect in this world. It’ll affect you in other ways by returning your mind back to back again to peace where you eventually see the illusion of choice, because no separation occurred, and elect to give it up forever.
