A Course in Miracles Is Brotherhood
One of the prominent themes in a Course in Miracles (ACIM) is about others being your brother. The theory is that, this sounds really good but it can be difficult to practice. It is one thing to love your brother when they will be lovable; but it's quite another to love them when they're not. When you make a judgment they've done something wrong or harmed you in some way, you won't be ready share love with them. The ego will judge them not worthy of love because they have caused you harm. This comes from the original divorce and not being worthy of God's love. You cannot give another what you think there is no need.
ACIM is clear: No error has occurred. No divorce has happened. Because you creatively see another body, you assume (judgment) that this person takes a different approach, and difference means divorce to the ego mind. The illusion of a separate identity is thus made real. Specialness now exists freeing the ego to make a God who will "give" you the special love the other vengeful God rejected during the sin of the original divorce. Specialness also also includes your bros whom the ego uses replace the love of the vengeful God.
What does it take to see another as your brother? Let's break down the components but know that even with these understandings, it is going to come down to your determination to release judgment and doing the actual work of undoing the ego.
Special Relationships:
These special relationships replace the love of God. They can be love or hate relationships, but either way, they derive from the "wrong" or "right" mind of the ego. If you do one little thing an ego most judges wrong, it goes from want to hate faster than the blink of an eye. To trust God would do this is to believe the lie of the ego that God is vengeful and He attacks. acim You would only attack others because you believe the same lie about yourself. These are judgments you must be ready spend for correction (forgiveness). Only the ego most judges and attacks. You are not your ego.
Absolutely all relationships are special until you may make them Holy. You cannot see others as your brother if you are involved in judgment and projection. The darkness shutters you to their light as well as your own. Holy Relationships are used by the Holy Spirit for correction of the mind (forgiveness). This makes the decision to see another as a brother an experience which becomes real.
The only way any relationship becomes a Holy Relationship is, for at least one of you, to be practicing forgiveness. Seeing someone as a brother means doing this even if you are the only one in the relationship ready turn over judgment. What you do as cause will be your effect.
Specialness:
Another favorite employed by the ego to keep you from seeing another as your brother is ty trying your own specialness as a way to increase divorce. When you see yourself as better, or different, you are considered special. God's special love will shine upon you because you stand out when you're unique.
Examples: More substantial versus shorter. College degree(s) versus uneducated. Fshionable versus ugly. Wealthy versus poor. Healthy versus sick. The list goes on and on and remember that either side is a trick as both are still the ego mind. You can be unique because of your illness equally as much as having your health. Remember, the ego's judgments are one or the other. It knows no other way.
ACIM clearly points out that you have to give up all judgments of others and everything these days if you want to go home. As long as you judge yourself or others as being special, or even different, you won't see everyone else as being a brother. Specialness, by definition, is divorce because it allows you to unique. Only sameness and oneness exist in Heaven and your bros are all the same. Judgment hides this from you.
Forgiveness and Remorse:
The Course also makes clear that what you see in another is a projection of your personal remorse and therefore, what you should reduce in yourself. Judgment of a brother keeps you from knowing yourself directly as it distracts you from using your decision maker capabilities for correction. The tirade of judgments is only showing you what you think you are: A judgmental ego. Every time you judge, this is exactly what you are saying you are. You not allow your own truth.
It is really very easy: Look at your judgments of a brother. Your light and theirs are hidden in judgment. You don't see what you keep hidden in judgment. Be ready withdraw from projection and judgment and hand them over to the Holy Spirit for correction (forgiveness). That is doing the work and using the decision maker to choose the other side of the split mind.
Spend all judgments if you do not receive correction (forgiveness) and you will find this to be true. You'll see another as a brother when judgment about them is gone. At this point, divorce doesn't exist because they are known as the same. Heaven is sameness and oneness.
