ACIM Lesson 18: My Daily Reflection (complaining)
Complaining separates or joins: two men influenced me in the direction of Split Mind (misery) vs a happy kid who pushed me toward Unified Mind.

Jesus and Holy Spirit guide and protect you in the River of Grace. Once you silence your ego, you move from the River of Shame, also known as the busy, Split Mind zone, to the connected safety of the River of Grace.
This is home base. However, you still have tests to endure and pass.
Only part of your mind is free from the River of Shame. You still have work to do to release your entire self — and the others assigned to you — from the agony of the River of Shame.

Complaining separates or joins: two men influenced me in the direction of Split Mind (misery) vs a happy kid who pushed me toward Unified Mind.
A toehold (a small opening) is neutral until the ego reminds you to add your experience. Holy Spirit finds you in Unified Mind neutral space.
You have no neutral thoughts. Neutral thoughts happen in neutral space, a place where you can let your guard down. Be still. Ignore the bait.
Prayer works. However, prayer sometimes needs a boost. I believe cancer lives in the busy split mind space. Turn toward Jesus. Close that gap
But I was fooled! Now, I understand that it’s better to keep my focus on Holy Spirit and to ignore my ego with its criticism and complaints.
Resistance: Compete with God and lose. You might as well surrender early. No, it won’t be comfortable. Your ego-identity dies. End of story.
Judging, the ego questions whether things are good or bad. The truth is, things are neutral. Is this a key to seeing into your blind spot?
Distracted by meaningless thoughts, I block Holy Spirit, and my ego wins. Ignoring ego changes the game. I connect to Spirit in Unified Mind.
Gain access to a blind spot by blocking demon interference in your thoughts. Holy Spirit whispers truth when your mind is free, a blank slate.
In the past, I was a New Age person. At no time did I think I was doing witchcraft. It all felt very clean and light until things got dark.
