Question: What’s Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the issues that come to the mind, even when they seem “instead peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all observed suffering has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness looked to make the misperception named pain.
Suffering was the dream that Christ can keep a Supportive Creator’s Mind. “If pain is actual there is no God. If Lord is true there’s no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter holds true because Lord has no opposite. Enlightenment entails no pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Constant Pleasure, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment understands perhaps not of change. The illusion of vulnerability and changing thoughts moved as well. There is number ego to drop “right back into.” Soul Abides in light Love. All suffering is over Today and nothing remains but a benefit of Stillness acim.
The Holy Spirit may be the note that Life is Eternal. The Present Time could be the gateway to Eternity. The entire world of images was a world of illusion. Photographs are therefore neutral to the Sacred Spirit. These were “neutralized” the quick they seemed to arise.
What does that mean with regards to your second issue? You can’t eliminate what has never existed, and in the Sacred Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness harm is impossible. Bodies were never born and never die because the planet of images is the past. It is impossible to get beginnings and endings in a program that’s previously published and around extended ago. There’s no living in images. This is the indicating of “Hold no graven photographs ahead of the Lord Thy God.” All images were made to hidden the Truth from recognition, and they can just be forgiven together illusion. If illusions could be separated up into living and useless, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Real Oneness, far beyond the likelihood of division of any sort? The split mind was the illusion. Find to not challenge the split brain to types and contact some forms living and some types dead. Lord knows perhaps not form. The separate mind was the “killer” dream, the Holy Nature tells the asleep brain that what’s whole and specific can never BE split. In Heaven Brain is One Soul, and actually regarding that earth forgiveness reflects that Oneness. The forgiven world realizes the unity of the recovered brain and sees that there’s nothing “outside” with this single brain which dreams gently a happy, gentle dream. The target of ACIM is always to desire softly of a sinless world. That aim is significantly more than possible, it’s certain!
In terms of my seeming diet, “eat what is served” is the Advice I was handed from the Sacred Heart several years ago. Join together with your brother and allow no concept come between the Enjoy you share. This Guidance has not changed. “Dinner” is always a history for sharing the Joy of the Living Moment. What the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are really all the same in the Enlightened State. The Relieved Perception sees the sameness of things since they all share the exact same Function: forgiveness. This Perspective is not “particular,” for in single belief nothing is personal. Lord isn’t any respecter of persons. I practically can’t “take” an animal’s “life” since Life is Spirit and can just only be expanded or Provided as Lord Gives. “Take” has no meaning in my mind and because animals have not “lived” it’s difficult that they might “die.” The belief expressed in the idea “individually take an animal’s life” has many underlying assumptions which can be false. In right-mindedness it is obvious that ideas are increased because they are provided away or shared, and “taking” a “life” or some thing does not have any meaning. All that I provide is given to mySelf, and in offering there’s number reduction, no compromise, and nothing is ever recinded from wholeness and unity. The instructor of Lord does not need something that cannot be provided away. Such could be the Joy of miracles! The thought vegetables appear to be flung everywhere, however there’s never a good glance back again to see where in actuality the seeds land. The seeds are never for an “other,” and since offering and obtaining are exactly the same your head receives the presents it gives. That is truly the feast you find for within the ego’s questions.
The only real issue that need be asked is a problem that is not really absurd at all: Am I prepared to know that God’s Will and My Possess would be the Same? God’s May for Me is for Perfect Happiness. And what but that Will is the Can of Christ? Fortunately, nothing can alter Timeless Love. Thank You God!
