Question: What’s Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the questions which come to your mind, even though they seem “fairly peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness felt to produce the misperception called pain.
Suffering was the dream that Christ can keep a Warm Creator’s Mind. “If suffering is real there’s no God. If God is true there’s no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true since God doesn’t have opposite. Enlightenment entails number pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Genuine, Continuous Pleasure, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Continuous, Enlightenment knows not of change. The illusion of weakness and changing thoughts has gone as well. There is no pride to drop “right back into.” Soul Abides in mild Love. All pain is over Now and nothing stays but a blessing of Stillness.
The Sacred Spirit could be the note that Living is Eternal. The Present Moment is the gate way to Eternity. The planet of photographs was a full world of illusion. Photographs are thus neutral to the Sacred Spirit. They certainly were “neutralized” the instant they did actually arise.
What does this suggest in relation to your second problem? You cannot destroy what’s never lived, and in the Sacred Spirit’s Perception of forgiveness damage is impossible. Bodies were never born and never die because the entire world of photographs could be the past. It’s difficult to find origins and endings in a software that’s previously prepared and over extended ago. There is number living in a course in miracles| images. This is the indicating of “Hold number graven photographs prior to the Master Thy God.” All pictures were designed to obscure the Reality from recognition, and they are able to only be understood as one illusion. If illusions could be separated up into living and dead, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment will be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Genuine Oneness, far beyond the possibility of team of any kind? The split mind was the illusion. Find to not task the split mind to types and contact some forms living and some types dead. Lord knows perhaps not form. The split mind was the “killer” illusion, yet the Holy Nature reminds the resting mind that what’s full and single can never BE split. In Paradise Mind is One Spirit, and even pertaining to that world forgiveness reflects that Oneness. The understood world identifies the unity of the recovered mind and sees that there’s nothing “outside” of the single mind which dreams gently a happy, gentle dream. The goal of ACIM would be to desire gently of a sinless world. This aim is a lot more than probable, it is certain!
As for my seeming diet, “consume what’s served” could be the Guidance I was presented with from the Holy Nature several years ago. Join with your brother and allow number concept come involving the Enjoy you share. This Guidance has not changed. “Dinner” is obviously a history for sharing the Delight of the Residing Moment. What the planet calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are actually the same in the Enlightened State. The Relieved Perception sees the sameness of things because they all share the exact same Function: forgiveness. That Perception is not “particular,” for in unified understanding nothing is personal. Lord isn’t any respecter of persons. I virtually cannot “take” an animal’s “life” because Living is Spirit and can only just be extended or Given as Lord Gives. “Take” does not have any indicating in my mind and since animals have never “lived” it is impossible that they might “die.” The belief indicated in thinking “personally take an animal’s life” has many main assumptions that are false. In right-mindedness it is apparent that some ideas are strengthened because they are provided away or distributed, and “taking” a “life” or anything at all doesn’t have meaning. All that I give is fond of mySelf, and in offering there is no loss, no lose, and nothing is ever taken away from wholeness and unity. The teacher of Lord does not need whatever can’t be provided away. Such could be the Pleasure of wonders! Thinking seeds seem to be flung everywhere, however there’s never a glance back again to see where in actuality the vegetables land. The seeds are never for an “different,” and since giving and getting are the same your head gets the gifts it gives. That is truly the food you seek for within the ego’s questions.
The only question that want be asked is a question that is not really silly at all: Am I prepared to understand that God’s Can and My Possess will be the Same? God’s Will for Me is for Perfect Happiness. And what but that Will is the May of Christ? Happily, nothing may change Eternal Love. Thank You Lord!
