Problem: What’s Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the questions that can come to your mind, even when they appear “fairly peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness appeared to create the misperception called pain.
Suffering was the illusion that Christ could keep a Warm Creator’s Mind. “If pain is true there’s no God. If God is true there’s no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter does work because Lord has no opposite. Enlightenment entails number suffering or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Continuous Pleasure, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Continuous, Enlightenment knows not of change. The dream of weakness and varying emotions went as well. There is no confidence to fall “straight back into.” Nature Abides in soft Love. All suffering has ended Today and nothing remains but a benefit of Stillness.
The Holy Spirit is the note that Life is Eternal. The Present Time could be the gate way to Eternity. The planet of photos was a world of illusion. Pictures are thus neutral to the Holy Spirit. They certainly were “neutralized” the quick they seemed to arise.
What does this mean in terms of the second question? You can’t eliminate what’s never existed, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perception of forgiveness hurt is impossible. Bodies were never created and never die since the world of images could be the past. It is difficult to locate origins and endings in a script that’s presently prepared and around long ago. There is no life in images. This is actually the meaning of “Hold no graven photos prior to the Master Thy God.” All images were designed to hidden the Truth from understanding, and they are able to just be understood as you illusion. If illusions could possibly be divided up in to residing and useless, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, much beyond the possibility of section of all kinds? The separate mind was the illusion. Find to not challenge the split mind to forms and contact some forms alive and some types dead. God knows not form. The separate mind was the “killer” impression, yet the Holy Spirit reminds the sleeping brain that what’s full and good can never BE split. In Heaven Brain is One Spirit, and actually with regard to that earth forgiveness reflects that Oneness. The forgiven earth acknowledges the unity of the recovered brain and considers that there’s nothing “outside” of the simple brain which desires lightly a pleased, soft dream. The goal of ACIM would be to dream softly of a sinless world. That goal is more than possible, it is inevitable!
In terms of my appearing diet, “consume what is served” is the Advice I was given from the Holy Heart many 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 background for discussing the Delight of the Living Moment. What the planet calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are acim really yet in the Enlightened State. The Relieved Perspective considers the sameness of things since they all share the same Purpose: forgiveness. This Perspective isn’t “particular,” for in unified perception nothing is personal. God isn’t any respecter of persons. I literally cannot “take” an animal’s “life” because Life is Nature and can only just be extended or Given as Lord Gives. “Take” does not have any meaning in my mind and because animals haven’t “lived” it is difficult that they could “die.” The opinion stated in the idea “professionally get an animal’s life” has several main assumptions which can be false. In right-mindedness it’s evident that ideas are heightened since they are provided away or discussed, and “taking” a “life” or anything more has no meaning. All that I provide is given to mySelf, and in providing there’s number loss, no sacrifice, and nothing is actually taken away from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God does not need whatever can’t be given away. Such may be the Joy of miracles! The thought vegetables appear to be flung every where, yet there is never even a glance back again to see where the seeds land. The vegetables are never for an “other,” and because offering and receiving are the exact same the mind receives the gifts it gives. This is truly the food you seek for underneath the ego’s questions.
The sole question that want be asked is just a question that’s certainly not silly at all: Am I prepared to understand that God’s Will and My Own will be the Same? God’s Will for Me is for Great Happiness. And what but that Will is the May of Christ? Cheerfully, nothing can alter Eternal Love. Thank You Lord!
