Issue: What’s Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the questions that can come to the mind, even if they appear “instead peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived suffering has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness appeared to produce the misperception named pain.
Pain was the dream that Christ could leave a Warm Creator’s Mind. “If pain is true there’s no God. If God is actual there is no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter holds true since acim Lord does not have any opposite. Enlightenment entails no pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Real, Continuous Pleasure, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Continuous, Enlightenment knows not of change. The dream of vulnerability and fluctuating thoughts moved as well. There’s number confidence to drop “straight back into.” Heart Abides in gentle Love. All pain has ended Now and nothing remains but an advantage of Stillness.
The Sacred Nature could be the reminder that Life is Eternal. The Provide Moment is the gate way to Eternity. The planet of photographs was an environment of illusion. Pictures are therefore simple to the Sacred Spirit. They were “neutralized” the instant they seemed to arise.
What does that suggest with regards to the second question? You can’t kill what has never lived, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perception of forgiveness hurt is impossible. Figures were never born and never die because the world of pictures may be the past. It is impossible to find beginnings and endings in a program that is already written and around long ago. There is no life in images. This is actually the meaning of “Maintain no graven photos prior to the Master Thy God.” All photos were designed to obscure the Truth from awareness, and they could only be forgiven as one illusion. If illusions could be divided up in to living and lifeless, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment will be impossible. For what’s Enlightenment but Real Oneness, far beyond the likelihood of section of any sort? The separate brain was the illusion. Seek never to challenge the split mind to types and contact some types living and some types dead. Lord understands perhaps not form. The split brain appeared to be the “killer” impression, yet the Sacred Soul tells the resting brain that what’s whole and single can never BE split. In Paradise Brain is One Spirit, and also with regard to this earth forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The understood earth recognizes the unity of the recovered mind and considers that there is nothing “outside” with this single brain which desires gently a pleased, gentle dream. The goal of ACIM would be to desire gently of a sinless world. This goal is significantly more than possible, it is expected!
As for my seeming diet, “eat what’s served” may be the Advice I was presented with from the Holy Nature many years ago. Join together with your brother and let no notion come involving the Love you share. That Guidance has not changed. “Dinner” is always a foundation for sharing the Joy 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 sees the sameness of all things because they all reveal exactly the same Function: forgiveness. This Perspective is not “personal,” for in good belief nothing is personal. Lord is not any respecter of persons. I actually can’t “take” an animal’s “life” because Living is Soul and can just only be prolonged or Given as Lord Gives. “Take” doesn’t have meaning in my own brain and because creatures haven’t “lived” it’s impossible that they could “die.” The belief indicated in thinking “privately get an animal’s life” has many main assumptions which are false. In right-mindedness it is evident that a few ideas are strengthened as they are given away or discussed, and “taking” a “life” or some thing does not have any meaning. All that I provide is directed at mySelf, and in giving there is no loss, no sacrifice, and nothing is actually removed from wholeness and unity. The teacher of Lord does not need something that cannot be given away. Such may be the Pleasure of miracles! The idea seeds seem to be flung everywhere, yet there’s never a good view back to see where the vegetables land. The vegetables are never for an “different,” and because providing and obtaining are the same the mind gets the gifts it gives. This really is truly the feast you find for beneath the ego’s questions.
The only problem that want be asked is a question that is not really foolish at all: Am I ready to understand that God’s May and My Possess are the Same? God’s May for Me is for Perfect Happiness. And what but this Will is the Will of Christ? Joyfully, nothing can change Endless Love. Thank You God!
