Question: What is Enlightenment?
Thank you for asking the questions that come to your mind, even when they seem “rather peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has disappeared, for which but wrong-mindedness gave the impression to create the misperception called pain.
Pain was the illusion that Christ could leave a Loving Creator’s Mind. “If pain is real there isn’t any God. If God is real there’s no pain.”(W-190.3) Rogues is true because God does not have any opposite. Enlightenment entails pain free or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Constant Happiness, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment knows not of change. The illusion of vulnerability and fluctuating emotions has gone as well. There isn’t any ego to fall “back into.” Spirit Abides in gentle Love. All pain is finished Now and zilch remains but a blessing of Stillness.
The Holy Spirit is the reminder that Our life is Eternal. The Present Moment will be the gateway to Eternity. The joy of images would be a world of illusion. Images are thus neutral to the Holy Spirit. These were “neutralized” the moment they appeared to arise.
Precisely what does this suggest in terms of the second question? You are unable to kill what’s never lived, and in the Holy Spirit’s Outlook during forgiveness harm is impossible. Bodies were never born and don’t die as the realm of images could be the past. It can be impossible to discover beginnings and endings in a script that is already written well as over sometime ago. There isn’t any life in images. This can be the meaning of “Hold no graven images ahead of the Lord Thy God.” All images were created to obscure the Truth from awareness, and they also is only able to be forgiven as you illusion. If illusions may be divided up into living and dead, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment would be impossible. For the purpose is Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, beyond the possibility of division regardless of the sort? The split mind was the illusion. Seek never to project the split mind to forms and call some forms alive and several forms dead. God knows not form. The split mind appeared to be the “killer” illusion, however the Holy Spirit reminds the sleeping mind that precisely what is whole and unified can not BE split. In Heaven Thoughts are One Spirit, and in many cases pertaining to the world forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The forgiven world recognizes the unity of the healed mind and is aware that you’ll find nothing “outside” of the single mind which dreams softly a pleasant, gentle dream. The goal of ACIM is to dream softly of an sinless world. This goal is a lot more than possible, it is inevitable!
In terms of my seeming diet, “eat what exactly is served” could be the Guidance I became given from your Holy Spirit a long time ago. Join along with your brother and let no concept come between the Accept you share. This Guidance has not yet changed. “Dinner” is obviously a backdrop for sharing the Joy of the Living Moment. What the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” can be extremely yet in the Enlightened State. The Healed Perspective sees the sameness of the things because they all share the same Purpose: forgiveness. This angle is just not “personal,” for in unified perception absolutely nothing is personal. God is not any respecter of persons. I literally cannot “take” an animal’s “life” because Life’s Spirit which enable it to basically be extended or Given as God Gives. “Take” doesn’t have meaning over the internet and also, since animals have not “lived” it can be impossible they could “die.” The concept expressed in the thought “personally take an animal’s life” has many underlying assumptions which can be false. In right-mindedness no doubt that ideas are strengthened as is also given away for free or shared, and “taking” a “life” or anything at all has no meaning. Everything that I give is offered to mySelf, plus giving there is absolutely no loss, no sacrifice, and nothing is ever revoked from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God doesn’t want any situation that can not be given away. Such could be the Joy of miracles! The thought seeds seem to be flung everywhere, yet there is certainly never a good glance back to see the location where the seeds land. The seeds will never be with an “other,” and also, since giving and receiving are exactly the same the mind receives the gifts it offers a superior. This can be in truth the feast you search for within the ego’s questions.
The sole question that need get asked is a question which is not really silly whatsoever: Shall we be held willing to realize that God’s Will and My very own are similar? God’s Will personally is good for Perfect Happiness. Along with what however Will is the Will of Christ? Happily, nothing can transform Eternal Love. Thanks a lot God!
