The beauty and simplicity of A TRAINING COURSE in Miracles (ACIM) really shines through one of its major principles: REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect. That is different from the Law of Attraction, a subject which so much has been discussed these last few years. ACIM answers not only why things will be the way they’re with the mind, but also how to implement these mind corrections had a need to change your life. What it ultimately comes down to is the choice to change beliefs while staying in this world, or the decision to correct your brain and return home.
Affirmations are not section of A Course in Miracles as they are not necessary and here’s why: There is a “wrong” ego mind, and a “right” ego mind, both of which are still area of the same ego side of the split mind. Within the ego mind (error), the wrong side is all of the negative judgments; and the proper side is all of the negative judgments trying to convince you how wonderful it really is to live within this negative world. Neither is the truth of one’s nature nor what your location is trying to return your mind, according to ACIM.
REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect is this: According to the actually use as cause, you will see the corresponding effect. Ideas do not leave their source: You.

Let’s utilize this example:
Someone is feeling the effects to be “poor,” or lack, nowadays and really wants to change their beliefs to will have “rich” (abundance, prosperity, money) arrive. Both “poor” and “rich” are judgments of the ego deploying it as cause that may only produce ego effect. Ego being an unstable thought system, everything you choose as “rich” will eventually go and you find yourself back with “poor.” It’s just a question of “when.”
The ego’s choice system is: (1) one or the other: (2) poor or rich; and, (3) ego or God. It asks one to choose between two things within the ego illusion and not to choose out of your illusion.
This is as opposed to choosing correction of the mind (forgiveness) where both “poor” and “rich” do not exist. A choice for correction of the mind allows the Holy Spirit Right Mind to be your cause which affects the you in this world; however, it does not have the effects you imagine since the ego cannot relate. It returns some of the mind to peace and ends senseless worry over rich and poor. In addition, it produces effects in your life here but you will have to choose correction to see them.
Let’s look at how ACIM breaks this all down into a simple group of principles based on Cause and Effect. It only includes a few components so when understood and used, they may be “mind” correcting!
The Metaphysics:
Remember, in accordance with ACIM, your brain is split by the ego’s judgment that we could be separate, also known as the “tiny mad idea,” or the error that never occurred. This part of the mind is simply hidden in darkness because it banished itself from Knowledge (Heaven and Oneness) when we forgot to laugh off what cannot be true. It didn’t, however, separate.
So in ACIM it is not about affirmations or changing beliefs, because the mind never left God but still resides at home with Him. You can find no “belief” judgments in Love, Oneness, Heaven and Knowledge as everything may be the same, all one, and nothing to believe or judge between.
Instead, it is about changing your internal Teacher or rather, who you are hearing for interpretation of events nowadays. The only real change is in the choice between your split mind (error) of the ego or the Holy Spirit Right Mind (correction) as that internal Teacher.
That’s where the simplicity is evident in ACIM because there’s no convincing the ego wrong and right mind of another thought process. You simply give up what you no more want. We take action on a regular basis with ego stuff; and today we just take action with the ego beliefs themselves.
Forgiveness:
This says it all: Forgiveness is correction of your brain. In ACIM, there is nothing to forgive because no error has happened, i.e., no separation happened. What you are really doing is simply returning your brain to God, where it never left, and to its natural state of peace. To do that is simply either which side of the split mind to listen to for interpretation of events and turning over the judgments so long as desire to the Holy Spirit Right Mind for correction (forgiveness).
The Holy Spirit is the treatment for the separation put into your brain by God and every answer will there be waiting for you. Atonement, forgiveness, salvation and True Perception are other words which are synonymous. You have to be willing to use the Holy Spirit Right Mind for interpretation of events and do the specific work of giving judgments (beliefs) to this side of the mind, via your choice maker, because you no longer want them.
It really is that simple and only confusing because of the belief that the only choice is between ego judgments of “poor” and “rich,” to use the earlier example, rather than understanding relating to this third option being available. The decision for True Perception would be to choose neither ego judgment and relinquish both for correction of the mind. This is what is takes to come back your brain to God.
Decision Maker:
ACIM is targeted at your choice maker in the mind. The complete point is that you’ve got a selection of which side of the mind to listen to and use for interpretation. That is all that ever happened in the first place. It was a selection to listen, believe and choose judgments of the ego that separation happened and the ensuing sin, guilt and fear. Judgments could be dismissed as easily as you dismiss other things you do not want because they are not real.
Two things stop you from relinquishing judgments: (1) your attachment to them to be true and real; and, (2) not acknowledging the way you feel keeps them hidden so you don’t realize they are judgments.
You do not “feel” in Heaven, Knowledge and Oneness. It is an experience shared by One.
The decision maker is the mechanism between the two sides of the split mind. It is neutral, an observer and is something you need to employ to watch your brain and the judgments being made by the ego. Once you realize you have used something from the ego error of the wrong or right mind, just be willing to hand them to the perfect solution is, or the correction, of the Holy Spirit Right Mind. It requires care of the others as the Atonement or solution is already there. No affirmations are essential. You are simply giving up that which you no more want. It really is, and certainly can, be that simple.
Form and Content:
The last component to know from the Course in Miracles is form and content. Form is this world and everything inside it. In ACIM, form does not matter and is the main “beliefs” to be turned over. However, you use everything in form, together with the judgments in your mind, because the curriculum of what to start for correction (forgiveness).
What does matter is content and in ACIM, content may be the mind. The mind you are using for interpretation (perception) of people, places, and things, etc., counts for everything. It is possible to only have one master: (1) the Holy Spirit Right Mind (correction); or, (2) the ego wrong mind (error) and that includes both interpretations of the ego mind.
In conclusion, think about the simplicity of ACIM that is a Course in training your brain how exactly to perceive properly. You must return your brain to peace as the Kingdom of God is peace and you cannot start to see the doorway from judgment. You only see peace in peace and while sharing peace with everyone.
All ACIM says is you have the willingness to learn how to do this, study the ideas and put it into practice. The help you need will arrive; but you, my friend, must do the work of the inward journey back into the mind.
REGULATIONS of Cause and Effect is the form, or mind, you’re using for interpretation will undoubtedly be your effect nowadays. It’ll affect you in other ways by returning your mind back to back to peace where you eventually see the illusion of preference, because no separation occurred, and choose to give it up once and for all.
