There is a mistake that many of us make when it comes to ACIM, where we seem to think we should change our minds about the world in order to find peace.
It seems like the Course is saying we shouldn't...
The ego mind is a mind of separation and conflict.
The ego mind always has two faces - a persona and a shadow.
Within the ego mind itself, one part of itself is against the other part. The ego mind attacks itself,...
Most of the time, people consider themselves confined to their bodies. The body itself forms a barrier around their mind, shutting it in. The only place on the body where it seems the mind is 'visible' if you will, is...
We each, as spirit, are capable of manifesting any form that we like, and of showing up or appearing to take form in any particular form imaginable. We are not really confined to any one form and can change them...
When you perceive that something is 'wrong' with someone else, and that this wrongness does not apply to you, you are SEVERELY MENTALLY ILL.
When you perceive that what applies to another person, due to their apparent separate free will and...
The ego has two parts to it, because the ego is a belief-system based on duality. Duality is based on separation. The ego mind is a 'split mind'. The ego mind is at war with itself and is in conflict....
I never really knew how much my 'mind' seems to think that it has an answer about everything. It can't seem to shut up. I am completely addicted to the belief that "thinking equals knowing". And it's becoming apparent that...
The mind, under the control of the ego, is always trying to interfere, make, plan, imagine, fantasize, predict, remember, re-use, figure out, think about, analyze etc.
All of these 'actions' of the mind/intellect are really the same tool being used with...
A simple meditation technique I tried last night with unexpected results - it basically revolves around intense listening.
1) Know/imagine that there is going to be an extremely quiet sound that you are going to hear in your mind. It's so...
Everything that has supposedly happened following 'separation from God' is happening ENTIRELY within your own mind. Entirely.
In fact, it has not left your mind. AND, it has not gone outside of your mind. AND, it has not affected God's mind....
Yesterday I was somewhat excited about the idea, or maybe the 'clarity', that everything is happening INSIDE of myself.
The whole separation from God is 'self contained'. It doesn't do anything to God, who is 'outside' of it. And it also...
The main reason why you automatically assume that other people do stuff to you, and that it affects you, is because you assume that you are currently aware of the entire content of your own mind.
Your little 'conscious self' believes...
As you heal something about yourself in your mind, you will stop having reactions.
I used to react to the big truckload of fresh live pigs that used to be shipped into the sausage factory across the street. I believed it...
The ego mind plays ALL of the roles in the dream simultaneously.
It is all of the characters at once, even if those characters seem to be completely against each other, or working together. It is like a puppeteer with billions...
I'm learning at the moment that healing of the body is impossible. Healing of the mind is possible, but the body cannot be directly healed.
The mind creates the body.
The mind is constantly projecting the body and basically 'overriding' anything you...
"The world is false perception. It is born of error, and it has not left its source. It will remain no longer than the thought that gave it birth is cherished. When the thought of separation has been changed to...
