Question: What is Enlightenment?
Thanks for wondering the issues which come to the mind, even though they appear “instead peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to produce the misperception named pain.
Suffering was the dream that Christ can leave a Caring Creator’s Mind. “If pain is true there is no God. If God is real there’s no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter holds true because God has no opposite. Enlightenment entails no pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Constant Pleasure, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Continuous, Enlightenment knows not of change. The dream of susceptibility and varying thoughts has gone as well. There is number pride to fall “straight back into.” Spirit Abides in light Love. All suffering is finished Today and nothing stays but a benefit of Stillness.
The Sacred Spirit is the reminder that Life is Eternal. The Provide Moment is the gateway to Eternity. The entire world of photographs was an environment of illusion. Photos are therefore natural to the Sacred Spirit. They were “neutralized” the quick they seemed to arise acim.
What does that mean in terms of your second problem? You cannot destroy what has never existed, and in the Sacred Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness hurt is impossible. Figures were never created and never die since the world of photographs may be the past. It’s difficult to find beginnings and endings in a software that’s presently written and over extended ago. There is number living in images. This is the indicating of “Hold number graven photographs before the Master Thy God.” All images were designed to obscure the Truth from awareness, and they could just be understood together illusion. If illusions could possibly be divided up in to residing and dead, normal and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment would be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Natural Oneness, far beyond the possibility of team of all kinds? The split mind was the illusion. Seek never to challenge the separate mind to types and call some types living and some forms dead. God understands perhaps not form. The split mind appeared to be the “killer” illusion, the Sacred Heart reminds the sleeping mind that what is whole and specific can never BE split. In Heaven Mind is One Heart, and actually pertaining to that earth forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The understood world recognizes the unity of the relieved mind and sees that there’s nothing “outside” of this single mind which dreams softly a happy, mild dream. The goal of ACIM is to dream lightly of a sinless world. This purpose is more than probable, it’s inevitable!
As for my appearing diet, “consume what is served” is the Advice I was given from the Sacred Nature many years ago. Join along with your brother and let no idea come between the Love you share. That Guidance hasn’t changed. “Dinner” is definitely a background for sharing the Delight of the Residing Moment. What the entire world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are actually the same in the Enlightened State. The Recovered Perception sees the sameness of all things since each of them reveal exactly the same Purpose: forgiveness. That Perception isn’t “particular,” for in single perception nothing is personal. God is not any respecter of persons. I virtually can’t “take” an animal’s “life” because Living is Spirit and can only be lengthy or Provided as Lord Gives. “Take” does not have any meaning in my mind and since animals haven’t “lived” it is impossible that they might “die.” The belief stated in the idea “privately take an animal’s life” has many underlying assumptions which are false. In right-mindedness it’s apparent that a few ideas are increased as they are provided out or distributed, and “taking” a “life” or anything more doesn’t have meaning. All that I give is given to mySelf, and in providing there’s number reduction, no lose, and nothing is ever removed from wholeness and unity. The instructor of Lord does not need whatever cannot be provided away. Such may be the Joy of miracles! The idea vegetables be seemingly flung every-where, yet there is never even a view back once again to see where in actuality the vegetables land. The vegetables are never for an “other,” and since giving and getting are the same your head gets the gifts it gives. This is really the food you seek for beneath the ego’s questions.
The only issue that require be requested is a issue that is not necessarily ridiculous at all: Am I prepared to understand that God’s Will and My Own would be the Same? God’s Can for Me is for Great Happiness. And what but this Can may be the Will of Christ? Cheerfully, nothing can transform Endless Love. Thank You Lord!
