Issue: What’s Enlightenment?
Thanks for wondering the questions which come to your brain, even if they appear “rather peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness looked to create the misperception named pain.
Suffering was the impression that Christ could leave a Warm Creator’s Mind. “If suffering is actual there’s number God. If Lord is real there’s no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true because Lord does not have any opposite. Enlightenment entails no pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Real, Regular Pleasure, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment understands not of change. The impression of susceptibility and fluctuating emotions has gone as well. There’s number vanity to fall “right back into.” Soul Abides in gentle Love. All suffering has ended Now and nothing stays but an advantage of Stillness.
The Holy Spirit is the reminder that Living is Eternal. The Provide Time may be the gateway to Eternity. The entire world of pictures was an environment of illusion. Photographs are therefore neutral to the Sacred Spirit. They were “neutralized” the quick they seemed to arise acim.
What does that mean in relation to your second issue? You cannot kill what has never existed, and in the Sacred Spirit’s Perception of forgiveness damage is impossible. Figures were never born and never die because the world of photographs is the past. It is impossible to find beginnings and endings in a script that’s previously prepared and over extended ago. There is no life in images. Here is the indicating of “Maintain number graven images ahead of the Lord Thy God.” All photographs were designed to hidden the Reality from awareness, and they are able to only be forgiven as one illusion. If illusions might be separated up into living and useless, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment will be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, much beyond the chance of division of all kinds? The split mind was the illusion. Seek not to project the split mind to forms and contact some types alive and some types dead. God understands not form. The separate brain was the “killer” dream, the Holy Spirit reminds the resting mind that what is full and specific can never BE split. In Heaven Brain is One Heart, and also regarding that earth forgiveness shows that Oneness. The understood world acknowledges the unity of the recovered brain and sees that there is nothing “outside” of the simple brain which desires gently a happy, light dream. The goal of ACIM is always to dream softly of a sinless world. That purpose is more than probable, it’s inevitable!
As for my seeming diet, “eat what is served” could be the Advice I was handed from the Holy Spirit a long time ago. Join with your brother and let no notion come involving the Enjoy you share. That Guidance has not changed. “Dinner” is always a background for discussing the Delight of the Living Moment. What the entire world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are very all the same in the Enlightened State. The Healed Perception considers the sameness of all things because all of them reveal exactly the same Function: forgiveness. That Perception isn’t “particular,” for in specific understanding nothing is personal. God isn’t any respecter of persons. I literally can not “take” an animal’s “life” since Living is Heart and can only just be prolonged or Provided as God Gives. “Take” doesn’t have indicating in my mind and since animals have never “lived” it is impossible that they could “die.” The belief indicated in the idea “privately take an animal’s life” has several main assumptions that are false. In right-mindedness it is clear that some ideas are strengthened as they are given away or shared, and “taking” a “life” or anything more does not have any meaning. All that I provide is given to mySelf, and in providing there is number loss, no lose, and nothing is actually taken away from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God does not want whatever can’t be given away. Such could be the Pleasure of miracles! Thinking seeds be seemingly flung everywhere, however there’s never even a glance back again to see where in actuality the seeds land. The seeds are never for an “other,” and because offering and receiving are the same your brain receives the presents it gives. That is truly the party you find for within the ego’s questions.
The only real question that want be asked is a problem that’s certainly not foolish at all: Am I prepared to understand that God’s Can and My Possess will be the Same? God’s May for Me is for Perfect Happiness. And what but this Will could be the May of Christ? Fortunately, nothing can change Timeless Love. Thank You God!
