Issue: What’s Enlightenment?
Thanks for wondering the issues that come to your mind, even if they appear “rather peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness felt to create the misperception named pain.
Pain was the illusion that Christ could keep a Caring Creator’s Mind. “If pain is true there’s number God. If Lord is actual there’s no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter does work because God does not have any opposite. Enlightenment entails number pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Real, Regular Happiness, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Continuous, Enlightenment knows maybe not of change. The impression of susceptibility and changing feelings has gone as well. There is no vanity to fall “right back into.” Spirit Abides in mild Love. All pain has ended Today and nothing stays but an advantage of Stillness.
The Holy Nature is the reminder that Living is Eternal. The Present Time is the gate way to Eternity. The entire world of photos was a world of illusion. Pictures are therefore basic to the Sacred Spirit. These were “neutralized” the quick they did actually arise a course in miracles.
What does that mean in terms of your next question? You can’t kill what’s never lived, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perception of forgiveness harm is impossible. Bodies were never created and never die because the entire world of photos may be the past. It is impossible to locate origins and endings in a program that’s presently prepared and over extended ago. There’s number living in images. Here is the meaning of “Maintain no graven photographs prior to the Lord Thy God.” All photographs were made to unknown the Reality from recognition, and they could only be understood as one illusion. If illusions might be split up in to living and useless, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment would be impossible. For what’s Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, far beyond the possibility of division of all kinds? The split brain was the illusion. Seek not to challenge the split mind to forms and contact some types living and some forms dead. God understands perhaps not form. The split brain was the “killer” impression, yet the Holy Nature reminds the asleep mind that what is whole and single can never BE split. In Paradise Mind is One Heart, and also regarding this earth forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The forgiven earth understands the unity of the healed mind and considers that there’s nothing “outside” of this single brain which dreams softly a pleased, mild dream. The goal of ACIM is to dream gently of a sinless world. This goal is more than probable, it’s expected!
As for my appearing diet, “consume what’s served” is the Advice I was given from the Holy Heart several years ago. Join along with your brother and let number idea come between the Enjoy you share. This Advice hasn’t changed. “Dinner” is always a history for discussing the Joy of the Living Moment. What the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are very yet in the Enlightened State. The Recovered Perception considers the sameness of everything because all of them reveal the exact same Purpose: forgiveness. That Perspective is not “personal,” for in good belief nothing is personal. Lord is not any respecter of persons. I literally can not “take” an animal’s “life” because Living is Soul and can just only be expanded or Given as God Gives. “Take” doesn’t have meaning within my mind and since creatures have not “lived” it’s impossible that they could “die.” The belief expressed in the thought “individually take an animal’s life” has several underlying assumptions which are false. In right-mindedness it’s obvious that ideas are strengthened since they are given away or discussed, and “taking” a “life” or some thing has no meaning. All that I provide is fond of mySelf, and in providing there’s no reduction, no lose, and nothing is actually taken away from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God does not want whatever cannot be given away. Such is the Delight of wonders! Thinking seeds appear to be flung every-where, yet there’s never a good glance back to see where the vegetables land. The vegetables are never for an “other,” and since offering and getting are exactly the same the mind gets the gifts it gives. This is really the feast you find for within the ego’s questions.
The only problem that need be requested is a problem that is not really absurd at all: Am I ready to know that God’s Will and My Own are the Same? God’s Will for Me is for Great Happiness. And what but this Can could be the Can of Christ? Happily, nothing can change Endless Love. Thank You God!
