Question: What is Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the issues which come to your brain, even when they seem “rather peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness looked to create the misperception called pain.
Suffering was the impression that Christ could leave a Supportive Creator’s Mind. “If pain is actual there’s no God. If God is true there is no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true since God doesn’t have opposite. Enlightenment entails number pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Regular Pleasure, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment understands maybe not of change. The impression of vulnerability and fluctuating feelings went as well. There is number ego to fall “back into.” Soul Abides in soft Love. All suffering has ended Now and nothing stays but a benefit of Stillness.
The Holy Nature could be the reminder that Life is Eternal. The Present Time could be the gate way to Eternity. The world of photos was an environment of illusion. Images are thus natural to the Sacred Spirit. They certainly were “neutralized” the quick they seemed to arise a course in miracles.
What does that mean with regards to your next issue? You can’t kill what has never lived, and in the Sacred Spirit’s Perception of forgiveness damage is impossible. Bodies were never created and never die since the entire world of images is the past. It is difficult to locate beginnings and endings in a program that is previously prepared and around extended ago. There’s number living in images. This is the meaning of “Hold no graven images prior to the Lord Thy God.” All pictures were made to hidden the Reality from attention, and they are able to only be forgiven as one illusion. If illusions could possibly be divided up in to residing and useless, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment will be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Genuine Oneness, far beyond the likelihood of division of any kind? The separate brain was the illusion. Find not to project the split brain to forms and contact some forms alive and some types dead. Lord knows not form. The split mind appeared to be the “killer” dream, the Holy Soul reminds the sleeping brain that what is full and single can never BE split. In Heaven Brain is One Spirit, and also pertaining to that earth forgiveness shows this Oneness. The understood earth recognizes the unity of the relieved mind and sees that there’s nothing “outside” of the single brain which dreams gently a pleased, mild dream. The target of ACIM is to desire softly of a sinless world. This aim is more than probable, it is expected!
In terms of my appearing diet, “eat what is served” may be the Guidance I was given from the Sacred Heart many years ago. Join together with your brother and let no concept come involving the Enjoy you share. This Guidance hasn’t changed. “Dinner” is definitely a history for discussing the Delight of the Living Moment. What the planet calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are very all the same in the Enlightened State. The Healed Perspective sees the sameness of everything since all of them share exactly the same Purpose: forgiveness. This Perspective isn’t “personal,” for in unified perception nothing is personal. Lord is no respecter of persons. I practically cannot “take” an animal’s “life” since Life is Nature and can only be extended or Provided as God Gives. “Take” has no meaning in my mind and since animals have never “lived” it is impossible that they might “die.” The belief expressed in thinking “individually get an animal’s life” has several underlying assumptions that are false. In right-mindedness it’s clear that some ideas are increased because they are provided out or distributed, and “taking” a “life” or anything at all does not have any meaning. All that I provide is fond of mySelf, and in providing there is no reduction, number lose, and nothing is actually taken away from wholeness and unity. The instructor of Lord does not need something that can’t be provided away. Such is the Joy of wonders! The thought seeds seem to be flung everywhere, yet there is never a glance back once again to see where the seeds land. The vegetables are never for an “different,” and because offering and receiving are exactly the same the mind receives the presents it gives. That is truly the food you seek for underneath the ego’s questions.
The only real problem that require be asked is just a issue that is certainly not absurd at all: Am I prepared to learn that God’s May and My Own would be the Same? God’s May for Me is for Great Happiness. And what but that May is the Will of Christ? Happily, nothing can transform Endless Love. Thank You God!
