Mindlessness within a Course in Miracles (ACIM) means so much more than failing attention. Since we opting for all the time, being mindless is agreeing using the miscreations from the ego thought system to spotlight the projected forms of the world as reality instead of the mind because cause. It is avoidance of admitting the selection we’re really making which would be to deny Love, God and Truth by pretending we don’t observe how we are choosing, or that we’re unable to choose differently (helpless).
ACIM is centered on content, or mind, you use for the cause; and cause is the thing that you are choosing, or agreeing with, from the mind. You see the corresponding effect once you make it happen. Forms include the behaviors and things projected into the world as miscreations produced by the ego, i.e., they may be merely judgments from agreeing using the ego mind as cause.
Forms are mindlessness which leads to helplessness. The natural progression prefers projected passive-aggressive behaviors to take care of situations.
Mindless:
The word mindless is, “Acting or refrained from justification or concern for your consequences.” To put it differently, you become you haven’t any idea what you are doing and there’s no choice.
Let’s be clear: It really is agreeing with the ego that you are a helpless victim of forms (connection between the ego) then there is nothing that can be done but modify behaviors. You might be choosing both the “right” and “wrong” ego mind perception that is agreeing with error and ultizing error to improve error.
Helpless
The definition of ‘helpless’ is, “Unable to defend oneself or act without help,” and yes it plays out this way:
Help: Mindlessness is choosing (receiving) the ego’s help as you target forms rather than content. You’re susceptible to ego conditions, must choose most notable for experiences, and find out no way out (helpless).
Defense: If you try to solve form problems within form, rather than giving them up for correction from the mind, the only ego solution is attack. All attack is designed to defend (protect) the ego’s errors, i.e., accept them by joining them that’s projection.
Passive-Aggressive
Passive-aggressive thoughts and behaviors would be the ego’s treatment for this mindless helplessness. This is a way to feel stronger along with power over the planet.
Most consider war an aggressive attack. Passive can also be an attack or possibly a denial of Love because it is agreeing with ego conditions (errors) and projecting those onto another. Because it is so covert, it really is harder to recognize and soon you decide one has had enough, grow it to the light and look at it.
Ego Wrong Mind:
Fear
Overt Attacks (blatant and obvious)
Aggressive
Mindless
Helpless
Victimizer
Ego Right Mind:
Guilt
Covert Attacks (concealed and hidden)
Passive
Mindless
Helpless
Victim
Through guilt (shame and embarrassment), we have been taught not to express anger because it’s wrong. Also, you will find there’s nervous about punishment for sins (things we consider wrong). This leads straight away to passive thoughts and behaviors and vacillation between those and aggressiveness.
Aggressive is: “Readily or planning to attack or confront.”
Passive is: “Accepting or allowing what others do without active response or resistance.”
Passive will be the covert (concealed and hidden) adaptive “anger behind the scenes” victim attack. Here’s many ways the ego’s judgments attack in response to the no-way-out scenario of forms:
Avoidance – ignore – evade – procrastinate – obstruct – non-communication – competition fears – being ambiguous – sulking – tardiness – chronic forgetfulness – fear of intimacy – concern with dependency – making excuses – resentfulness – irritability – cynical or hostile attitude – sullen – victim and victimizer – self-pity – blaming – withholding – learned helplessness
Helplessness is asking error to fix error. The ego’s response to that is certainly much more feelings of insecurity, mistrust, lack of truthfulness, resentment, all negative feelings and making enemies. It’s only reliant on time until aggression gets control of.
Forgiveness to get rid of
Let’s bring in our continuing discussion of forgiveness to eliminate. If you feel you’re not using all of these aspects, you might want to reconsider because carry out. In ACIM, our planet appeared by us because we thought we could do “better than” God and his awesome Love. The ego’s projections (attacks) are to put your sin, guilt and fear seemingly outside yourself to help you seem like you’re better than another.
Much better than you: Passive covert victim is (a) driving a car of competition because someone else might be better and, (b) given that they have no choice (mindless). Aggressive overt victimizer is (c) passive or aggressive attacks to hurt another. You’re here as you thought you could do this better; and all projections (that’s everything) are so you can feel great than another person (separation).
Same as you: Passive covert victim is (a) agreeing with one of these inescapable and mindless ego forms and conditions. Aggressive overt victimizer is (b) using passive or aggressive attacks to harm another. You’re the same in sin (error) and the sole method to take care of error (forms) would be to accept error (mindless).
Martyr: Passive covert victim is (a) as being a victim with the behaviors carried out to them. Aggressive overt victimizer is (b) using passive attacks to harm another, i.e., the tirade of angry thoughts judging the victimizer’s sins. You absolutely agree that error (sin) is real, has to be judged and punished with death.
Bargaining and compromise: Passive covert victim is (a) since you just agreed (bargained) with all the ego’s errors for help. Aggressive overt victimizer is (b) using passive or aggressive compromise to treat the behaviors through the broken bargains. You’re slave towards the ego’s help simply because you agree this can be a mindless (form) world, no chance out; along with to take care of situations by modifying behaviors (bargain and compromise) within error.
Capacity to Decide
We do not see we’ve the ability to decide until we stop concentrating on form conditions in the ego (behaviors and things) and go inward. Real change is merely inside the mind which is in which you will see the perfect solution.
The power of our power to choose depends on where were choosing inside the split mind. Ego says the selection is between its own aspects (ego right and wrong mind), which is a choice within the illusion. Really, the force is based on determining to quit all aspects of the illusion in support of reality (Love). This course targets your decision maker for this purpose.
In ACIM, it states that all of our misery arises from the belief that we have been powerless; understanding that being helpless will be the tariff of determining to agree with sin because truth about ourselves. Helplessness (effect or condition of sin) is just a kind of attack the industry denial from the real Truth that you are a sinless mind and have the ability and strength to choose differently at anytime.
Deciding to believe (agree) in helplessness also results in believing you are not the Son of God and they are therefore His enemy and attack is necessary. Helplessness and victimization attacks (projections) will maintain the hate going and that means you think that it is possible to control and rule the world. Also, within a strange ego twist, if you aren’t prepared to attack, you’re an enemy in the ego because you aren’t accepting its interpretation of salvation and can actually choose from the system and don’t forget God (its biggest fear).
Listening and agreeing with the ego has projected a whole lot of sin for perception with the body. By moving away from forms and back into the mind, we could perceive (see) over the vision from the Holy Spirit where life being a simply denial passion, no error has occurred, nothing has happened and it is not real. The concept originated us (Source) from the mind and now we can plan to quit.
Creation is Love and that is what is real. So you “see,” denying forms all night into the mind exchanges helplessness for strength in the mind to choose differently. That is choosing again. The ego’s difference is separation and covertly choosing between its errors.
For each other, happiness is a constant which never changes because once we choose Love, we are picking out the changeless. Our desire is the necessary proof our capacity to choose again (differently). Not to to be helpless and mindless any more, surrender the drive being this way and alter you mind. That’s all we must do.
