Understanding the Metaphysical Issues with A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

A course in Miracles (ACIM) is a non-dualistic spirituality which contains a collection of guidelines regarding the hypnosis of the split mind. Understanding these metaphysical aspects assists in the practical application of the principles incorporated into ACIM when coming up with choices. Without actual application, these principles are just ideas; but with application they become an experience, and experience changes everything. The metaphysical portion is a great identifier of the ego's judgmental thought system and a divine reminder of what is true about ourselves.

Looking at metaphysical descriptions on paper and becoming aware of their attributes is of great benefit in knowing what you are choosing both for and against. Keep them handy, and refer to them often as you navigate the choices in your life.

Here are some very simple areas to consider about the metaphysical issues with ACIM:

The Un-Healed Mind - the super-unconscious mind is where the "tiny loony idea" of separating began. It is accessible via the conscious knowing of the proceedings in your life.

The ego wrong mind is based on judgment and separating from others going back to the original separating idea. That separating sin now punishable by death which also contains the beginning of guilt and fear. When you choose the judgmental ego as cause, your effect is:

victim/victimization - judgment - projection - addiction - grievances - hate - fury - war - specialness - death - forgive to destroy - sin - fear - guilt - special relationships

The Holy Right Mind is based on sharing and oneness and returning mind back to the peace of God and out of the illusion of choice. This says that the error never occurred and you are still as God created you. There is nothing else. When you choose the Holy Spirit as cause, your effect is:
