Understanding Cause and Effect; Guilt and Miscreation. By David Hoffmeister
Question: I recognize that the human body does not create, but I don't understand that "the mind can miscreate in the body.” Is this another method of saying that fearful thoughts create disease within the body?
Thanks for the questions. Yes, you're on the best track. It can be believed erroneously that the mind can miscreate within the body acim podcasts, and this is actually the attempt to project guilt onto the body. But because ideas leave not their source, it is the sleeping mind which continues to wthhold the guilt. Before sleeping mind forgives it cannot "be rid of" guilt. Through the attempt to project guilt the mind keeps it. Projection can be a defense mechanism through that your ego keeps the mind feeling guilty.
An example of believing that the human body can miscreate in the mind is the belief that behaviors and actions can harm the mind. The thoughts: "your behavior has harmed your son's mind" or "those violent behaviors for the reason that TV show can harm your child's mind" are two types of this. Behavior is never causative, being a bi-product of thought. What you do arises from that which you think. The lesson of forgiveness teaches that only mind is causative and that mind cannot create beyond itself. Mind reaches to itself. It generally does not go out. Within itself is everything, you within it and it within you. There's nothing else. Atonement shows that you're a Divine Mind, wholly Mind, and Purely Mind. You remain forever an Idea in the Mind of God.
