Question: What’s Enlightenment?
Thanks for wondering the questions that can come to the mind, even when they appear “somewhat peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived suffering has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness felt to create the misperception called pain.
Suffering was the impression that Christ can leave a Caring Creator’s Mind. “If suffering is actual there’s number God. If Lord is real there’s number pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true since Lord does not have any opposite. Enlightenment entails number suffering or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Genuine, Regular Happiness, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment understands perhaps not of change. The impression of weakness and changing feelings moved as well. There is no confidence to drop “right back into.” Spirit Abides in light Love. All pain is finished Today and nothing stays but an advantage of Stillness.
The Holy Soul may be the note that Life is Eternal. The Provide Time is the gate way to Eternity. The planet of images was a world of illusion. Pictures are therefore simple to the Holy Spirit. They were “neutralized” the instant they did actually arise.
What does this mean in terms of your second problem? You can’t eliminate what has never lived, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness harm is impossible. Bodies were never created and never die because the planet of photographs is the past. It’s difficult to get origins and endings in a program that is currently written and around long ago. There is no life in images. This is the indicating of “Maintain number graven photos ahead of the Master Thy God.” All photographs were designed to hidden the Truth from understanding, and they are able to just be understood together illusion. If illusions could possibly be separated up in to living and dead, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment will be impossible. For what’s Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, much beyond the likelihood of department of any kind? The split mind was the illusion. Seek never to task the split brain to forms and call some forms alive and some forms dead a course in miracles. Lord understands perhaps not form. The split mind was the “killer” dream, the Sacred Heart reminds the asleep mind that what’s whole and unified cannot BE split. In Heaven Brain is One Soul, and even pertaining to that earth forgiveness shows that Oneness. The understood world realizes the unity of the healed brain and considers that there is nothing “outside” of this simple mind which desires softly a pleased, delicate dream. The goal of ACIM would be to dream softly of a sinless world. This purpose is more than probable, it is inevitable!
As for my seeming diet, “consume what is served” may be the Guidance I was handed from the Holy Heart many years ago. Join with your brother and let no idea come involving the Enjoy you share. That Guidance has not changed. “Dinner” is obviously a background for sharing the Joy of the Living Moment. What the entire world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are really all the same in the Enlightened State. The Recovered Perspective sees the sameness of everything since they all share the exact same Purpose: forgiveness. That Perception isn’t “personal,” for in good belief nothing is personal. God is no respecter of persons. I actually cannot “take” an animal’s “life” because Life is Nature and can only be prolonged or Given as God Gives. “Take” has no meaning in my brain and because animals haven’t “lived” it’s impossible that they might “die.” The belief stated in the thought “individually take an animal’s life” has many underlying assumptions which are false. In right-mindedness it is obvious that some ideas are strengthened because they are provided away or provided, and “taking” a “life” or anything at all doesn’t have meaning. All that I provide is fond of mySelf, and in giving there is no loss, no compromise, and nothing is actually removed from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God does not want anything that cannot be given away. Such could be the Pleasure of wonders! The idea vegetables seem to be flung every where, yet there’s never a view back again to see where in actuality the seeds land. The vegetables are never for an “other,” and because giving and getting are exactly the same your head receives the presents it gives. That is truly the food you find for underneath the ego’s questions.
The only real question that want be requested is really a problem that is not really silly at all: Am I ready to know that God’s May and My Own are the Same? God’s May for Me is for Perfect Happiness. And what but this Will could be the May of Christ? Happily, nothing can transform Eternal Love. Thank You Lord!
