Problem: What’s Enlightenment?
Thanks for wondering the questions that can come to the mind, even when they seem “rather peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all observed pain has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness looked to produce the misperception called pain.
Pain was the illusion that Christ can leave a Caring Creator’s Mind. “If suffering is real there is no God. If God is actual there is number pain.”(W-190.3) The latter holds true since God has no opposite. Enlightenment entails number pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Constant Pleasure, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment knows not of change. The dream of weakness and varying feelings went as well. There’s number vanity to drop “back into.” Soul Abides in delicate Love. All pain is over Now and nothing remains but an advantage of Stillness a course in miracles.
The Sacred Heart could be the note that Life is Eternal. The Present Time could be the gate way to Eternity. The planet of photos was an environment of illusion. Photographs are thus basic to the Sacred Spirit. These were “neutralized” the instant they seemed to arise.
What does this mean in terms of your next issue? You can’t eliminate what has never lived, and in the Sacred Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness damage is impossible. Figures were never created and never die because the world of photographs may be the past. It’s impossible to get beginnings and endings in a script that’s previously published and around extended ago. There is no living in images. Here is the meaning of “Maintain no graven photos before the Master Thy God.” All photos were made to unknown the Reality from consciousness, and they are able to only be forgiven together illusion. If illusions might be separated up into living and dead, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment will be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Genuine Oneness, far beyond the likelihood of team of any sort? The separate mind was the illusion. Find not to project the split brain to forms and call some types living and some types dead. Lord understands not form. The split brain seemed to be the “killer” impression, yet the Sacred Spirit reminds the resting brain that what’s whole and good cannot BE split. In Paradise Brain is One Nature, and actually pertaining to this earth forgiveness shows this Oneness. The forgiven earth acknowledges the unity of the relieved mind and considers that there is nothing “outside” with this simple brain which desires softly a happy, light dream. The goal of ACIM would be to dream softly of a sinless world. This aim is significantly more than probable, it is expected!
In terms of my seeming diet, “consume what’s served” could be the Advice I was handed from the Sacred Spirit several years ago. Join together with your brother and allow no idea come between the Love you share. That Guidance hasn’t changed. “Dinner” is obviously a history for sharing the Pleasure of the Residing Moment. What the entire world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are really all the same in the Enlightened State. The Healed Perception sees the sameness of all things since they all share the same Function: forgiveness. This Perception isn’t “personal,” for in single perception nothing is personal. God is no respecter of persons. I practically can’t “take” an animal’s “life” since Living is Spirit and can just only be extensive or Given as Lord Gives. “Take” has no indicating within my mind and because animals haven’t “lived” it is impossible that they might “die.” The opinion stated in the idea “privately get an animal’s life” has several main assumptions which can be false. In right-mindedness it’s obvious that a few ideas are strengthened as they are provided away or discussed, and “taking” a “life” or anything more has no meaning. All that I give is fond of mySelf, and in offering there’s no loss, number sacrifice, and nothing is ever removed from wholeness and unity. The teacher of Lord does not need something that can’t be given away. Such may be the Delight of miracles! Thinking vegetables seem to be flung every where, however there is never a glance back again to see where in fact the seeds land. The vegetables are never for an “different,” and because giving and receiving are the same the mind receives the gifts it gives. That is really the feast you seek for beneath the ego’s questions.
The only real question that need be asked is a question that’s not really silly at all: Am I prepared to learn that God’s Will and My Own are the Same? God’s Can for Me is for Ideal Happiness. And what but that May may be the Will of Christ? Cheerfully, nothing may change Endless Love. Thank You Lord!
