Problem: What’s Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the issues that come to your mind, even when they appear “fairly peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all observed pain has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness appeared to create the misperception named pain.
Suffering was the illusion that Christ could keep a Loving Creator’s Mind. “If suffering is true there is no God. If Lord is real there’s number pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true because Lord doesn’t have opposite. Enlightenment entails number pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Continuous Pleasure, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment understands not of change. The illusion of vulnerability and fluctuating thoughts has gone as well. There’s number vanity to drop “back into.” Heart Abides in gentle Love. All suffering is finished Now and nothing remains but a benefit of Stillness acim.
The Sacred Spirit is the reminder that Living is Eternal. The Present Time is the gate way to Eternity. The entire world of photographs was a full world of illusion. Photographs are thus basic to the Holy Spirit. They certainly were “neutralized” the instant they appeared to arise.
What does that mean in relation to the second question? You cannot eliminate what has never existed, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness damage is impossible. Figures were never born and never die because the entire world of photographs is the past. It is impossible to find beginnings and endings in a script that is already published and around extended ago. There is no living in images. Here is the meaning of “Maintain no graven photographs before the Lord Thy God.” All photographs were made to hidden the Reality from consciousness, and they could only be understood as you illusion. If illusions could possibly be split up into residing and useless, normal and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossible. For what’s Enlightenment but Natural Oneness, much beyond the likelihood of section of any kind? The split brain was the illusion. Seek not to task the split mind to types and contact some types alive and some types dead. God understands not form. The split mind appeared to be the “killer” impression, yet the Sacred Nature tells the resting mind that what is whole and single can never BE split. In Heaven Mind is One Nature, and also regarding that earth forgiveness shows this Oneness. The forgiven world identifies the unity of the relieved brain and sees that there’s nothing “outside” of this single mind which desires lightly a happy, delicate dream. The goal of ACIM is to dream lightly of a sinless world. That aim is more than probable, it is expected!
As for my appearing diet, “consume what’s served” could be the Guidance I was presented with from the Holy Heart many years ago. Join with your brother and allow no idea come involving the Love you share. That Advice has not changed. “Dinner” is always a foundation for discussing the Delight of the Residing Moment. What the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are actually yet in the Enlightened State. The Healed Perception sees the sameness of everything because all of them share the same Function: forgiveness. That Perception is not “particular,” for in good perception nothing is personal. God isn’t any respecter of persons. I literally cannot “take” an animal’s “life” since Life is Heart and can only just be extended or Given as Lord Gives. “Take” doesn’t have indicating in my mind and because creatures haven’t “lived” it’s difficult that they might “die.” The belief expressed in the idea “privately get an animal’s life” has many main assumptions which can be false. In right-mindedness it’s obvious that a few ideas are strengthened because they are provided out or distributed, and “taking” a “life” or anything more doesn’t have meaning. All that I provide is fond of mySelf, and in giving there’s no reduction, number lose, and nothing is ever taken away from wholeness and unity. The instructor of Lord does not want something that can’t be provided away. Such is the Pleasure of wonders! The thought seeds appear to be flung every where, yet there is never a good view back again to see where in fact the seeds land. The vegetables are never for an “other,” and because providing and receiving are the same the mind receives the presents it gives. This really is really the food you seek for within the ego’s questions.
The only real problem that want be requested is just a problem that’s not really ridiculous at all: Am I ready to learn that God’s Can and My Possess would be the Same? God’s Will for Me is for Ideal Happiness. And what but that Can is the May of Christ? Cheerfully, nothing can alter Timeless Love. Thank You God!
