Text: "The fundamental Law of Perception: To the extent to which you value guilt, to that extent will you perceive a world in which attack is justified. To the extent to which you recognize that guilt is meaningless, to that extent will you perceive attack cannot BE justified. This is in strict accord with vision's fundamental law: You see what you believe is there, and you believe it is there because you WANT it there. Perception has no other law than this. The rest but stems from this, to hold it up and offer it support. This is perception's form, adapted to this world, of God's most basic law; that love creates itself, and nothing BUT itself. God's laws do not obtain directly to a world perception rules, for such a world could NOT have been created by the Mind to which perception has no meaning. Yet are His laws reflected everywhere." [ACIM Chapter 25 The Remedy - The Fundamental Law of Perception] Most people look very vague when asked about guilt, and would assure another they do not believe in or hold any guilt. Yet each time we make a judgment of another, that judgment is but a projection of our own belief in guilt, and is simply that the other is guilty, not myself, for what is occurring. Even today many do not believe they are fearful, and that the foundation of fear is the belief in one's own guilt. That denial is outpicturing daily on the television :) Labels, such as Jewish, Christian, Muslim whatever, create separation of minds and especially beliefs. These REINFORCE that we are not ONE MIND outpicturing. A mortal mind, is one that is wholly cut off from who and what it is, simply believing it is a body, separate from other bodies, and keeps projecting this on everything it sees, from bodies, male and female, families, communities, religions, nations with borders, and the list goes on.... in believing it is solely a body, and must needs take care of this body, to avoid pain, suffering and death, and is the cause and outcome of its demise. This is simply a mind dreaming with a foundational belief in GUILT. An Immortal Mind has recognized Itself, who and what It IS. It recognizes that the Mind of God mirrored itself into the Holy Spirit, the Christ Mind or the Child of God Mind. It is an exact duplicate. Thus the Christ Mind is not separate from the Mind of God. It is ONE. The simple belief that separation could exist is the foundation to guilt, to be separated from the Mind of God. And thus that separation is the foundation and outpicturing of this world, dreamed into being by a mind simply asleep to who and what it is, believing itself to be the opposite of what it actually IS, and falling into a deeper and deeper sleep based on that belief in separation. A mortal mind lays the body down in death, to return to the dust of the earth from whence it was made. An Immortal Mind raises the frequency of the body turning the body into LIGHT and into the TRUTH OF ITSELF, for it is AWAKENED INTO LIFE, and throws off the veils of sleep shrouding its Mind. These supposed two minds can never be compared, because one is an illusion of a dream, the other the ONLY REALITY. What is made by a mind of illusion, can never be made REAL. As we identify with who and what we are, and the Mind of Christ, the Child of God, we awaken and that awakening is observed as the veils of sleep lift off one by one, allowing more and more light to reveal truly Who and What We Are. Thus in my simple language, Immortal Mind is totally identified with Christ/God Mind and is eternal creating eternally. Mortal mind is totally identified with the body, and is temporal making temporal things, such as the body and everything it strives to make real. Immortal Mind knows Itself ONE WITH ALL THAT IS. Mortal mind believes itself separate to everything it sees. Therein is the lie it continues to tell itself. The Mind of God has NO BELIEFS for it has no need in the complete KNOWING of ITSELF. "What, then, IS justified? What do you WANT?" ACIM as above.
