Fear is judgment and as you judge, you choose fear as your reality. This is basic cause and effect. For that reason, relinquishing judgment is relinquishing fear. Love does not know how to judge and therefore, fear does not exist in love. A Course in Miracles (ACIM) says that we never know our projects because a area of our mind has banished itself from knowledge. Knowledge is Oneness, Heaven, and Love. Judgment (fear) is, therefore, a condition of the banishment and not a condition of love. Legal issues of Creation says you cannot create anything unlike yourself; and you love your projects because they are a part of you and exactly like you. The same is also true for God. Projects cannot be mauled and remain within the protection of His Love. Attack is judgment (fear) and exists in the banished area of the split mind as "made" but not "created. inch ACIM is clear that as long as you are in judgment (fear), you will not know your projects because you would discount them, i. e., you would judge (fear) them and let them go. A form of this happened during the original splitting up when, for a moment, you didn't remember to discount what could not be true about yourself and made a judgment instead. What you think of as projects on earth are actually not projects but merely symbols of a reminder of heaven, or a judgment of the ego, depending on the mind you are going for for perception. Either way, they are simply symbols which represents symbols because of the divisions of the split mind. It is difficult to feel loved and protected in a world of symbols created by the ego's judgments as attack is the life-line of judgment (fear). Holy symbols are used by the Holy Spirit to remind you that you can make a decision to go back your brain to oneness with God at any time, in every moment and in all ways. Judgment symbols are used by the ego to keep fear in the mind and hide the fact a different choice is possible. Let's take a look at where fear originates. Understanding the metaphysics helps the mind realize why it is not real and opens a door to the Holy Spirit for a different model to be accepted. The Metaphysics of Fear: The non-conscious mind is Knowledge, Heaven and Oneness. There is nothing to be conscious of as everything "is" in a state of "being. inch To experience and see the joy of this "beingness" is the super subconscious mind, or God and Christ. Now enters the "tiny crazy idea" where the dream and illusion of splitting up began. This became only one thought that if you see God, you must be separate. That simple thought, now believed, is the ego. Activities like a thought in the mind, it's a judgment that something was true that isn't true. This is where we all didn't remember to discount what was not true about ourselves and a area of the mind banished itself from Knowledge. Next is sin, an ego thought which says we did separate and that is a sin against God. Feeling guilty for that sin, the ego says you need to be afraid because that sin is punishable by death from the angry and vengeful God. We're just at the subconscious mind and already afraid from the ego's judgments! The attributes of judgment are sin, guiltiness and fear with fear being the first to be faced on the back to the inside journey into the mind. Every time you judge, you reinforce fear in your head , nor see how to get back as truth remains hidden in fear itself. Perception: No where does it say in a Course in Miracles (ACIM) that anything has happened other than in the mind. Everything is situated entirely on perception and the choice to pay attention, believe and choose that version of reality. You cannot win if you keep choosing the perception (judgment) of the ego as being reality. Every choice for ego judgment keeps fear alive in the mind. Choices are judgments, and while necessary here, it is important to consider whether you are making them from the ego wrong mind of judgment (fear) or the truth Perception of the Holy Spirit Right Mind (love). Only the latter has the solution of a static correction of the mind (forgiveness) and gets you out of fear. Don't believe All you could Think: The ego's judgment making system is activities like a penchant for inventing and making things up. This is accompanied by a hefty amount of enthusiasm in exaggerating the falseness of its reality to the point it seems (perception) to be magic or creation. That is its point. Believe its judgments and you don't see the illusion. To not believe all you could think means you will have to start neglecting the perceived appearances as being real and take a chance on finding the truth. Of course, this is change and change is afraid; and the ego uses fear to keep you from choosing differently. Understand the metaphysics of fear a good little, and you can consider the possibility of fear not being real and only one by-product of made up judgments (perceptions). To handle fear will need you to also consider that there is something more important than the fear itself and a readiness to find out that answer. The movement of choice become important once your realize that facing a fear is possible. Most of us have gone ahead and done something we were afraid to do, just to contain it turn out okay, and discover there was nothing to have really been afraid of to begin with. Only the ego says something bad could happen. It threatens death because that sin of splitting up is punishable by death (basic metaphysics of the ego). The Absence of Fear: All unconscious and conscious behaviors from the ego mind secure the components of sin, guiltiness and fear as their root perception. With one of these as cause, the effect has to be chaos and by definition, chaos means: Complete disorder and confusing behavior so disorderly they appear to be random. The ego "makes" magic appear (perceive) to be creation. It works because you are focusing on the magician and not the sleight of hand. The magician is judgment (ego) and the sleight of hand is "making" judgment (ego) on the external world. Keeping judgment focused out there, you won't know it is "made" by the ego's judgments (fear) in your head. Therefore you are looking where the magician wants you to look , nor see the trick in front of you. When the magician performs and you do not pay attention where he is trying to direct your attention, you get seeing what he does not want you to see: The illusion of the magic trick. All it takes to begin is as a skeptic of what you hear and see and pay attention to the Holy Spirit voice in your head for model. Fear will be the initial thing the ego uses to keep you focused on the magic act. Keep this at the front of your thoughts along with where fear actually originates as you determine to give up judgment. With each judgment turned over to the Holy Spirit Right Mind, fear is reduced. It cannot survive without your belief in it. It came from as a judgment and is relinquished this way. Of your accord cease because you to choose to know the truth and feel the absence of fear. You are protected by the love of God, while through a body on earth. This means ultimately, you will find that no harm has come to you in any way whatsoever. However, the only way you will know the experience of this is to do the work of giving up judgment (ego and fear) to the Right Mind for a static correction beeing the lie so you can find out the truth. It’s this that it means to refute the lie. a course in miracles
