Question: Precisely what is Enlightenment?
Many thanks for asking the questions that come to your mind, even though they seem “rather peculiar” to you personally. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has disappeared, for but wrong-mindedness did actually 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) The second is true because God doesn’t have 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 went at the same time. There’s 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 is Eternal. The Present Moment is the gateway to Eternity. The concept of images was obviously a world of illusion. Images are thus neutral on the Holy Spirit. These were “neutralized” when they appeared to arise.
Precisely what does this mean with regards to the second question? You cannot kill what needs never lived, plus the Holy Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness harm doesn’t seem possible. Bodies were never born and not die because the whole world of images may be the past. It is impossible to find beginnings and endings in the script that’s already written as well as over long ago. There is no life in images. This is actually the meaning of “Hold no graven images ahead of the Lord Thy God.” All images were created to obscure the Truth from awareness, and so they are 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 could be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, far beyond the possibility of division of any sort? The split mind was the illusion. Seek not to project the split mind to forms and call some forms alive and some forms dead. God knows not form. The split mind was the “killer” illusion, yet the Holy Spirit reminds the sleeping mind that what is whole and unified can not BE split. In Heaven System is One Spirit, and even with regard to the world forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The forgiven world recognizes the unity in the healed mind and sees that nothing is “outside” of the single mind which dreams softly a cheerful, gentle dream. The purpose of ACIM would be to dream softly of your sinless world. This goal is much more than possible, it really is inevitable!
In terms of my seeming diet, “eat what is served” may be the Guidance I had been given in the Holy Spirit a long time ago. Join using your brother and let no concept come relating to the Adore you share. This Guidance has not changed. “Dinner” is obviously 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 in the Enlightened State. The Healed Perspective sees the sameness of the stuff because they all share the same Purpose: forgiveness. This attitude just isn’t “personal,” for in unified perception there is nothing personal. God isn’t any respecter of persons. I literally cannot “take” an animal’s “life” because Our life is Spirit which enable it to simply be extended or Given as God Gives. “Take” doesn’t have any meaning in my mind as well as animals have never “lived” it’s impossible that they can could “die.” The assumption expressed from the thought “personally take an animal’s life” has several underlying assumptions that are false. In right-mindedness there isn’t any doubt that ideas are strengthened since they are given away for free or shared, and “taking” a “life” or some thing does not have any meaning. All that I give emerged to mySelf, as well as in giving there is no loss, no sacrifice, and zip is ever removed from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God won’t want any situation that can not be distributed for free. Such will be the Joy of miracles! Thinking seeds are flung everywhere, yet there is never even a glance returning to see where the seeds land. The seeds are never for an “other,” and since giving and receiving are exactly the same your head receives the gifts it offers a superior. This is in truth the feast you seek for within the ego’s questions.
The only real question that want get asked is a question which is not really silly whatsoever: Shall we be held ready to know that God’s Will and My very own are exactly the same? God’s Will personally is for Perfect Happiness. And what however, this Will is the Will of Christ? Happily, nothing can transform Eternal Love. Thank You God!
