Thanks for asking the questions which come to the mind, even though they seem “fairly peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness appeared to produce the misperception named pain.
Pain was the dream that Christ could leave a Supportive Creator’s Mind. “If pain is actual there’s no God. If Lord is actual there’s no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter holds true because God doesn’t have opposite. Enlightenment entails no suffering or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment a course in miracles is Real, Continuous Happiness, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment understands not of change. The illusion of weakness and fluctuating emotions has gone as well. There is no ego to fall “straight back into.” Heart Abides in delicate Love. All suffering is finished Now and nothing stays but an advantage of Stillness.
The Holy Soul may be the note that Life is Eternal. The Present Moment may be the gate way to Eternity. The planet of photographs was an environment of illusion. Pictures are therefore basic to the Holy Spirit. They certainly were “neutralized” the quick they appeared to arise.
What does this mean in terms of your second question? You can’t destroy what’s never existed, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness hurt is impossible. Bodies were never born and never die because the world of photos may be the past. It’s difficult to find beginnings and endings in a script that’s already written and over extended ago. There is no living in images. Here is the meaning of “Maintain no graven photos prior to the Lord Thy God.” All photographs were built to hidden the Truth from understanding, and they are able to only be understood together illusion. If illusions might be split up into residing and dead, normal and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossible. For what’s Enlightenment but Genuine Oneness, far beyond the likelihood of department of all kinds? The separate brain was the illusion. Seek never to task the separate brain to types and contact some forms living and some forms dead. Lord understands perhaps not form. The split brain seemed to be the “killer” illusion, yet the Holy Heart reminds the resting mind that what’s whole and specific can never BE split. In Paradise Mind is One Spirit, and also pertaining to this earth forgiveness shows this Oneness. The forgiven earth identifies the unity of the recovered mind and sees that there’s nothing “outside” with this simple brain which dreams softly a happy, light dream. The target of ACIM is always to desire gently of a sinless world. This goal is a lot more than probable, it’s inevitable!
For my seeming diet, “consume what is served” is the Guidance I was given from the Sacred Spirit several years ago. Join with your brother and allow number concept come between the Love you share. This Guidance hasn’t changed. “Dinner” is always a backdrop for discussing the Joy of the Living Moment. What the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are really the same in the Enlightened State. The Healed Perception considers the sameness of everything since all of them share the same Purpose: forgiveness. This Perception is not “particular,” for in good notion nothing is personal. God isn’t any respecter of persons. I virtually cannot “take” an animal’s “life” since Living is Spirit and can only be lengthy or Provided as God Gives. “Take” has no meaning within my mind and since creatures have never “lived” it’s difficult that they might “die.” The opinion stated in the thought “professionally get an animal’s life” has several underlying assumptions which can be false. In right-mindedness it’s apparent that a few ideas are increased because they are given out or provided, and “taking” a “life” or anything more doesn’t have meaning. All that I provide is fond of mySelf, and in giving there is no reduction, number sacrifice, and nothing is ever removed from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God does not need whatever can’t be given away. Such may be the Pleasure of wonders! The idea vegetables be seemingly flung every where, yet there is never even a glance back once again to see where in fact the seeds land. The vegetables are never for an “other,” and since giving and getting are exactly the same the mind receives the gifts it gives. This really is really the feast you seek for beneath the ego’s questions.
The only real question that require be requested is just a problem that’s not necessarily foolish at all: Am I ready to learn that God’s Will and My Possess will be the Same? God’s Can for Me is for Great Happiness. And what but that May is the Will of Christ? Fortunately, nothing can transform Endless Love. Thank You God!
