The ego uses a selection of predictable patterns because the basis of its thought system is judgment whose origin is due to sin, fear and guilt. Judgment is definitely one or the other. As you perceive a brother through judgment, you will project and judge on that brother until you perceive the outcomes back. Once those email address details are perceived, you will use perception repeatedly to project and judge them a lot 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, together with specialness (being different), to keep the illusion of separation going. Use of these kind of relationships as cause, can be the ego mind as cause; and the result is to continue separation between brothers because they are based on the original separation. Remember cause and effect: Your brain you select from, as cause, can lead to the corresponding consequences (effect).
This is simply not about you having to be alone or avoid relationships in life. It really is, however, all about the way you enter and utilize them within the mind.
The choice that may set you free would be to choose to have your relationships be Holy Relationships. You must be the person practicing forgiveness in all of your relationships, even though you are the only one. It is “special” and soon you turn it “Holy.” To see another as a brother, a prerequisite to going home, holds true Perception which shines a light of truth you both. The ego cannot prevail against Oneness because it is not real.
Form and Content:
A TRAINING COURSE in Miracles (ACIM) is quite clear that form does not matter. You’ll find nothing in ACIM about behavior and when you judge a brother on his / her behavior, that is the same side of the ego mind. They may be acting from the ego “wrong” mind; nevertheless, 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 pick the Holy Spirit Right Mind as your internal Teacher thereby producing a different cause and effect.
Everything 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? (Content)
You won’t have peace unless you can answer “yes” to both. Choose again if you need to. It really is never too late.
There is Only One of Us:
When you judge a brother, you are utilizing 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 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 everything you don’t already believe to be true as it is based on the actually chose from; and (3) Judgment about another is a statement of the guilt retained in your thoughts from the initial separation because you opting for to use the ego mind. It is what your location is still holding onto fear and guilt instead of choosing correction (forgiveness) for the truth.
Absolutely anyone who shows up and provides you with to be able to heal your mind is really a gift you should use. Turn it 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 which gives all minds a chance to create a different choice. Judge plus they run and hide further into darkness and error.

Attack is 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 are to know the reality about yourself and a brother, the more you’ll choose against the ego’s attacks and only correction (forgiveness) from the Right Mind.
Responding with love can mean many things and sometimes, it can even mean no response. Other times, you may want a boundary or even to take some action. To respond with love, you absolutely should be practicing forgiveness and using the Right Mind to turn total attack and judgment. The Holy Spirit will provide you with a solution if you completely turn compared to that Right Mind for help. “Completely” may be 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 want to keep and learn for yourself. What you share you find you have.
Sharing:
Sharing methods to allow yourself to give to another what you would like them to have. Your only reason behind doing this is because it is what you want to have on your own. You’re teaching them what you need to be yours. Teaching is instruction of ideas and principles. Do this and you may find you have it because you’ve literally said, “Give back to me what I’ve taught you.”
