Question: What is Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the questions that can come to the mind, even though they appear “instead peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all observed pain has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness felt to create the misperception called pain.
Pain was the impression that Christ can leave a Caring Creator’s Mind. “If suffering is true there’s number God. If Lord is actual there is no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter holds true since Lord does not have any opposite. Enlightenment entails no suffering or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Real, Constant Pleasure, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment knows not of change. The impression of weakness and varying thoughts went as well. There’s no pride to fall “straight back into.” Nature Abides in mild Love. All suffering has ended Now and nothing stays but a benefit of Stillness a course in miracles.
The Holy Spirit is the memory that Life is Eternal. The Present Time is the gateway to Eternity. The world of pictures was a full world of illusion. Photographs are thus neutral to the Holy Spirit. These were “neutralized” the quick they did actually arise.
What does that suggest in terms of your second question? You can’t kill what’s never lived, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perception of forgiveness damage is impossible. Bodies were never created and never die since the world of images is the past. It is impossible to find beginnings and endings in a software that’s presently written and over long ago. There is no life in images. This is the meaning of “Hold no graven pictures ahead of the Lord Thy God.” All photos were built to hidden the Truth from attention, and they are able to only be understood as one illusion. If illusions might be split up into residing and dead, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Natural Oneness, much beyond the possibility of section of any kind? The split brain was the illusion. Seek to not project the split mind to types and call some forms alive and some forms dead. Lord knows maybe not form. The split brain was the “killer” illusion, the Sacred Soul reminds the sleeping mind that what’s full and good can never BE split. In Heaven Brain is One Spirit, and also regarding that world forgiveness shows this Oneness. The forgiven world recognizes the unity of the recovered mind and sees that there’s nothing “outside” of the single mind which desires softly a pleased, soft dream. The goal of ACIM is always to dream softly of a sinless world. This purpose is a lot more than probable, it is inevitable!
As for my seeming diet, “consume what is served” is the Guidance I was handed from the Sacred Spirit many years ago. Join together with your brother and let no concept come involving the Enjoy you share. That Advice has not changed. “Dinner” is obviously a foundation for discussing the Joy of the Living Moment. What the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are actually yet in the Enlightened State. The Recovered Perception considers the sameness of things because they all reveal the same Function: forgiveness. This Perspective is not “personal,” for in good understanding nothing is personal. God is no respecter of persons. I actually can not “take” an animal’s “life” since Living is Spirit and can just only be expanded or Provided as Lord Gives. “Take” doesn’t have meaning within my brain and because creatures have not “lived” it’s impossible that they may “die.” The opinion expressed in the idea “individually take an animal’s life” has many underlying assumptions that are false. In right-mindedness it is obvious that ideas are strengthened as they are given away or shared, and “taking” a “life” or some thing has no meaning. All that I give is given to mySelf, and in giving there’s no reduction, no compromise, and nothing is actually recinded from wholeness and unity. The teacher of Lord does not need anything that can not be provided away. Such is the Pleasure of miracles! The thought vegetables be seemingly flung everywhere, however there’s never a good glance back once again to see where in actuality the vegetables land. The vegetables are never for an “different,” and since offering and obtaining are the exact same your head receives the gifts it gives. This really is really the party you seek for underneath the ego’s questions.
The sole question that require be requested is a question that’s not really silly at all: Am I prepared to learn that God’s Can and My Own would be the Same? God’s Can for Me is for Perfect Happiness. And what but that Will is the Can of Christ? Cheerfully, nothing can change Eternal Love. Thank You Lord!
