Issue: What is Enlightenment?
Thanks for wondering the issues which come to the mind, even though they seem “relatively peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all observed pain has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness appeared to produce the misperception called pain.
Suffering was the impression that Christ could leave a Warm Creator’s Mind. “If pain is actual there’s number God. If Lord is actual there is number pain.”(W-190.3) The latter holds true since Lord doesn’t have opposite. Enlightenment entails number suffering or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Real, Regular Pleasure, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment knows perhaps not of change. The illusion of susceptibility and changing thoughts moved as well. There is number ego to fall “straight back into.” Spirit Abides in mild Love. All pain has ended Now and nothing stays but a benefit of Stillness a course in miracles.
The Holy Nature could be the memory that Life is Eternal. The Present Moment could be the gateway to Eternity. The planet of pictures was a world of illusion. Images are thus simple to the Holy Spirit. They certainly were “neutralized” the quick they seemed to arise a course in miracles.
What does this suggest in terms of your second question? You can’t destroy what has never existed, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness hurt is impossible. Bodies were never born and never die because the entire world of images could be the past. It is impossible to locate beginnings and endings in a program that’s already written and over long ago. There is no living in images. This is actually the indicating of “Hold no graven pictures prior to the Master Thy God.” All pictures were designed to obscure the Truth from attention, and they can only be understood together illusion. If illusions could possibly be separated up in to residing and lifeless, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment would be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Real Oneness, far beyond the chance of section of all kinds? The split brain was the illusion. Seek to not task the split mind to types and call some types living and some forms dead. God understands maybe not form. The split mind seemed to be the “killer” dream, the Sacred Soul reminds the asleep mind that what is whole and unified cannot BE split. In Paradise Brain is One Spirit, and actually with regard to this world forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The forgiven world understands the unity of the healed mind and sees that there surely is nothing “outside” of this single mind which dreams gently a happy, soft dream. The goal of ACIM is always to dream lightly of a sinless world. That aim is more than possible, it is certain!
As for my seeming diet, “eat what is served” is the Advice I was handed from the Holy Heart several years ago. Join together with your brother and let no principle come involving the Love you share. That Advice has not changed. “Dinner” is obviously a history for sharing the Pleasure of the Residing Moment. What the entire world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are very the same in the Enlightened State. The Relieved Perception considers the sameness of everything because each of them reveal exactly the same Purpose: forgiveness. That Perception isn’t “personal,” for in good belief nothing is personal. God isn’t any respecter of persons. I actually can not “take” an animal’s “life” since Life is Heart and can only be prolonged or Provided as God Gives. “Take” has no indicating in my own mind and since animals haven’t “lived” it is difficult that they could “die.” The opinion indicated in the idea “privately take an animal’s life” has many underlying assumptions which can be false. In right-mindedness it’s obvious that ideas are increased as they are given out or discussed, and “taking” a “life” or anything at all has no meaning. All that I provide is directed at mySelf, and in providing there’s no loss, no compromise, and nothing is ever taken away from wholeness and unity. The instructor of Lord does not want something that cannot be given away. Such is the Delight of miracles! The thought vegetables appear to be flung every-where, yet there’s never a good glance back to see where the seeds land. The vegetables are never for an “different,” and because giving and getting are the same the mind gets the presents it gives. That is really the feast you find for underneath the ego’s questions.
The sole problem that require be asked is just a issue that’s not really foolish at all: Am I prepared to learn that God’s May and My Possess would be the Same? God’s May for Me is for Perfect Happiness. And what but this May could be the Can of Christ? Fortunately, nothing can alter Timeless Love. Thank You God!
