Your Actions will always follow your beliefs

The secret to living a life free of the prison of unconscious meaning is to become conscious of them. Just having this awareness become habitual will lead you to greater presence and peace of mind. Dealing with the reality of the physical world instead of the meaning in your mind leads to freedom from past meanings and future expectations. The sense of being a victim of things outside you literally disappears. Your constant judgments of others disappears. As a result, you experience being grounded in the here and now and empowered to deal with “reality.” Eliminating negative things is good, being able to create the positive things you want is even better. We form beliefs to give meaning to events that have no real meaning. And they become fact for us. And once we realize our interpretation is in our mind and the actual event is meaningless, that it is not a fact, the belief is no longer needed, we can simply let it go. ACIM teaches us to go from mindlessness to ,mindfulness. ACIM can be compared to learning to drive. In the beginning it was difficult, you had to think about each thing you were doing. Later, the process of driving became so habitual that you no longer needed to “think” about each step. You just do them. Instead of choosing the ego as your teacher you start to listen to the Holy Spirit. This sets you up for a much smoother ride through your life.
