Problem: What is Enlightenment?
Thanks for wondering the issues which come to your brain, even if they appear “somewhat peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to produce the misperception named pain.
Suffering was the dream that Christ could leave a Loving Creator’s Mind. “If pain is true there is no God. If God is true there’s number pain.”(W-190.3) The latter holds true because Lord has no opposite. Enlightenment entails number pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Natural, Constant Happiness, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Regular, Enlightenment understands not of change. The dream of vulnerability and varying feelings has gone as well. There’s number vanity to fall “back into.” Spirit Abides in gentle Love. All suffering has ended Now and nothing remains but an advantage of Stillness.
The Holy Spirit could be the memory that Life is Eternal. The Present Moment may be the gate way to Eternity. The world of photographs was an environment of illusion. Pictures are thus neutral to the Sacred Spirit. They were “neutralized” the immediate they appeared to arise acim.
What does this suggest with regards to your next issue? You cannot destroy what’s never existed, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness damage is impossible. Bodies were never born and never die since the planet of pictures may be the past. It’s impossible to find beginnings and endings in a program that is currently prepared and around extended ago. There is no living in images. Here is the meaning of “Hold no graven pictures ahead of the Master Thy God.” All photographs were built to unknown the Truth from awareness, and they could only be forgiven together illusion. If illusions could be separated up in to living and lifeless, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossible. For what’s Enlightenment but Real Oneness, far beyond the chance of section of all kinds? The separate brain was the illusion. Find not to challenge the separate mind to types and contact some forms alive and some forms dead. Lord understands maybe not form. The separate mind appeared to be the “killer” impression, yet the Holy Nature reminds the asleep brain that what is whole and unified cannot BE split. In Paradise Brain is One Spirit, and actually regarding this world forgiveness shows this Oneness. The understood earth recognizes the unity of the healed brain and considers that there surely is nothing “outside” with this simple mind which dreams gently a pleased, soft dream. The target of ACIM is always to dream gently of a sinless world. This aim is more than probable, it’s certain!
For my seeming diet, “eat what’s served” is the Advice I was presented with from the Holy Nature many years ago. Join together with your brother and let no idea come involving the Love you share. That Advice hasn’t changed. “Dinner” is always a background for sharing the Delight of the Residing Moment. What the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are really yet in the Enlightened State. The Relieved Perception sees the sameness of everything because each of them reveal exactly the same Purpose: forgiveness. That Perspective is not “particular,” for in unified belief nothing is personal. God is no respecter of persons. I actually can not “take” an animal’s “life” because Living is Nature and can only just be lengthy or Provided as God Gives. “Take” does not have any indicating within my mind and because creatures haven’t “lived” it is impossible that they might “die.” The belief expressed in thinking “individually get an animal’s life” has many underlying assumptions that are false. In right-mindedness it is evident that ideas are increased as they are given away or shared, and “taking” a “life” or anything at all does not have any meaning. All that I give is given to mySelf, and in giving there is no reduction, no lose, and nothing is actually recinded from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God does not want something that cannot be provided away. Such is the Delight of miracles! The thought seeds seem to be flung every-where, yet there is never a glance back once again to see where in actuality the seeds land. The seeds are never for an “different,” and because offering and obtaining are the same your brain gets the gifts it gives. That is truly the food you seek for within the ego’s questions.
The only real question that require be requested is a problem that is not necessarily ridiculous at all: Am I ready to understand that God’s Can and My Own would be the Same? God’s May for Me is for Great Happiness. And what but this Will could be the Can of Christ? Cheerfully, nothing can alter Eternal Love. Thank You Lord!
