Question: What’s Enlightenment?
Many thanks for asking the questions that can for your mind, even though they seem “rather peculiar” for you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has vanished, for the purpose but wrong-mindedness gave the impression to produce the misperception called pain.
Pain was the illusion that Christ could leave a Loving Creator’s Mind. “If pain is real there is no God. If God is real there’s no pain.”(W-190.3) Aforementioned is true because God doesn’t have any opposite. Enlightenment entails no pain 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 adjusted too. There is no ego to fall “back into.” Spirit Abides in gentle Love. All pain is finished Now and absolutely nothing remains but a blessing of Stillness.
The Holy Spirit may be the reminder that Life’s Eternal. The existing Moment could be the gateway to Eternity. The concept of images was a whole world of illusion. Images therefore are neutral for the Holy Spirit. These were “neutralized” the minute they seemed to arise.
Exactly what does this imply regarding the second question? You cannot kill what needs never lived, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness harm doesn’t seem possible. Bodies were never born rather than die for the reason that world of images may be the past. It is impossible to get beginnings and endings inside a script that is certainly already written and also over long ago. There’s no life in images. This is the concept of “Hold no graven images prior to Lord Thy God.” All images were created to obscure the Truth from awareness, and they also is only able to be forgiven together illusion. If illusions could possibly be divided up into living and dead, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment will be impossible. For the purpose is Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, beyond the opportunity of division of any kind? The split mind was the illusion. Seek not 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, yet the Holy Spirit reminds the sleeping mind that what is whole and unified can’t ever BE split. In Heaven Thoughts are One Spirit, as well as with regard to life forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The forgiven world recognizes the unity of the healed mind and sees that there’s nothing “outside” with this single mind which dreams softly a pleasant, gentle dream. The aim of ACIM would be to dream softly of your sinless world. This goal is more than possible, it really is inevitable!
Regarding my seeming diet, “eat what’s served” could be the Guidance I was given in the Holy Spirit a long time ago. Join along with your brother and let no concept come between the Accept you share. This Guidance hasn’t changed. “Dinner” is always a backdrop for sharing the industry of the Living Moment. Exactly what the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are really yet within the Enlightened State. The Healed Perspective sees the sameness of the stuff given that they all share the identical Purpose: forgiveness. This angle just isn’t “personal,” for in unified perception there’s nothing personal. God is no respecter of persons. I literally cannot “take” an animal’s “life” because Life is Spirit and can only be extended or Given as God Gives. “Take” does not have any meaning in my mind and also since animals have never “lived” it’s impossible they could “die.” The concept expressed inside the thought “personally take an animal’s life” has lots of underlying assumptions which are false. In right-mindedness there isn’t any doubt that ideas are strengthened since they are distributed for free or shared, and “taking” a “life” or anything more doesn’t have any meaning. All that I give is given to mySelf, and in giving there is absolutely no loss, no sacrifice, and zilch is ever removed from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God won’t want anything that is not distributed for free. Such may be the Joy of miracles! Thinking seeds are flung everywhere, yet there exists never even a glance time for see in which the seeds land. The seeds aren’t with an “other,” and also since giving and receiving are identical mental performance receives the gifts it offers. This really is actually the feast you look for under the ego’s questions.
The sole question that require be asked is really a question that is not really silly in any respect: Shall we be held ready to realize that God’s Will and My very own are similar? God’s Will to me is good for Perfect Happiness. Along with what however this Will may be the Will of Christ? Happily, nothing can adjust Eternal Love. Thank You God!
