Problem: What’s Enlightenment?
Thanks for wondering the issues that come to your mind, even if they appear “instead peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness looked to make the misperception called pain.
Pain was the illusion that Christ could leave a Caring Creator’s Mind. “If pain is real there’s number God. If God is real there’s number pain.”(W-190.3) The latter does work since Lord does not have any opposite. Enlightenment entails no suffering or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Regular Happiness, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment understands perhaps not of change. The dream of susceptibility and changing feelings has gone as well. There is no ego to drop “back into.” Spirit Abides in gentle Love. All suffering has ended Now and nothing remains but a blessing of Stillness a course in miracles.
The Holy Soul could be the memory that Living is Eternal. The Present Moment may be the gateway to Eternity. The entire world of photographs was an environment of illusion. Images are therefore simple to the Sacred Spirit. They certainly were “neutralized” the immediate they did actually arise.
What does that suggest in terms of your next problem? You can’t eliminate what has never lived, and in the Sacred Spirit’s Perception of forgiveness hurt is impossible. Bodies were never created and never die because the planet of photos is the past. It’s difficult to get origins and endings in a script that’s already written and over long ago. There’s number living in images. Here is the indicating of “Maintain number graven photos prior to the Master Thy God.” All photos were built to obscure the Reality from consciousness, and they can just be understood as one illusion. If illusions could be divided up in to residing and lifeless, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment will be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Natural Oneness, much beyond the possibility of division of any sort? The split brain was the illusion. Seek not to project the separate mind to forms and contact some forms alive and some forms dead. Lord understands perhaps not form. The split mind appeared to be the “killer” illusion, the Sacred Heart reminds the sleeping brain that what is whole and good cannot BE split. In Heaven Brain is One Spirit, and even with regard to this world forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The understood earth realizes the unity of the relieved brain and considers that there is nothing “outside” of the simple mind which dreams lightly a pleased, gentle dream. The target of ACIM is always to desire lightly of a sinless world. This goal is a lot more than possible, it is inevitable!
In terms of my appearing diet, “consume what is served” may be the Guidance I was given from the Sacred Heart a long time ago. Join along with your brother and let no idea come between the Love you share. This Advice hasn’t changed. “Dinner” is definitely a backdrop 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 Perspective considers the sameness of everything because they all share the exact same Purpose: forgiveness. This Perception isn’t “particular,” for in unified perception nothing is personal. Lord is no respecter of persons. I practically can’t “take” an animal’s “life” since Living is Nature and can only be expanded or Given as Lord Gives. “Take” has no meaning in my mind and since animals have never “lived” it is difficult that they might “die.” The opinion indicated in the thought “individually take an animal’s life” has many underlying assumptions which are false. In right-mindedness it is clear that ideas are heightened as they are given away or discussed, and “taking” a “life” or anything more does not have any meaning. All that I provide is fond of mySelf, and in providing there is number loss, no compromise, and nothing is actually taken away from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God does not need something that can’t be provided away. Such could be the Joy of miracles! The thought seeds appear to be flung every-where, however there is never a good view back once again to see where in actuality the seeds land. The seeds are never for an “other,” and because providing and receiving are exactly the same the mind receives the gifts it gives. This really is truly the party you find for beneath the ego’s questions.
The only real problem that need be requested is just a question that is not necessarily foolish at all: Am I prepared to know that God’s May and My Own are the Same? God’s Can for Me is for Perfect Happiness. And what but that Can may be the Can of Christ? Happily, nothing can transform Timeless Love. Thank You Lord!
