Issue: What is Enlightenment?

Thanks for asking the questions that can come to the mind, even when they appear "fairly peculiar" to you. In Enlightenment all observed pain has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to make the misperception called pain.

Suffering was the illusion that Christ can leave a Caring Creator's Mind. "If suffering is real there is number God. If Lord is true there's number pain."(W-190.3) The latter does work since God doesn't have opposite. Enlightenment entails no pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for a course in miracles is Real, Regular Pleasure, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Regular, Enlightenment knows maybe not of change. The illusion of vulnerability and changing thoughts went as well. There's no confidence to fall "straight back into." Soul Abides in light Love. All pain has ended Today and nothing stays but a benefit of Stillness.

The Holy Heart may be the note that Life is Eternal. The Present Moment may be the gate way to Eternity. The entire world of photos was a world of illusion. Pictures are thus simple to the Sacred Spirit. These were "neutralized" the immediate they appeared to arise.

What does that mean in terms of your second problem? You cannot eliminate what has never lived, and in the Sacred Spirit's Perspective of forgiveness damage is impossible. Figures were never born and never die because the entire world of photos could be the past. It's impossible to find origins and endings in a software that's presently written and around long ago. There's no living in images. This is actually the meaning of "Maintain no graven photographs before the Lord Thy God." All images were built to hidden the Truth from understanding, and they are able to only be forgiven together illusion. If illusions could possibly be separated up in to residing and dead, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment would be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, far beyond the chance of department of any sort? The separate mind was the illusion. Find never to challenge the separate brain to types and call some types living and some forms dead. Lord understands maybe not form. The split brain was the "killer" dream, the Sacred Nature tells the sleeping brain that what's full and specific can never BE split. In Paradise Brain is One Heart, and also regarding that earth forgiveness shows that Oneness. The understood world understands the unity of the relieved mind and considers that there is nothing "outside" of this simple brain which desires softly a pleased, gentle dream. The goal of ACIM is to dream softly of a sinless world. That aim is significantly more than possible, it is certain!

For my seeming diet, "eat what is served" is the Advice I was given from the Holy Spirit many years ago. Join along with your brother and let number principle come between the Enjoy you share. That Advice hasn't changed. "Dinner" is obviously a history for sharing the Delight of the Living Moment. What the entire world calls "breathing" and "eating" and "drinking" and "sleeping" are very all the same in the Enlightened State. The Healed Perspective sees the sameness of things because each of them reveal the same Purpose: forgiveness. This Perspective is not "particular," for in unified belief nothing is personal. God is no respecter of persons. I literally can not "take" an animal's "life" since Life is Nature and can only be lengthy or Given as Lord Gives. "Take" does not have any meaning in my mind and since creatures have not "lived" it's impossible that they may "die." The opinion expressed in the thought "personally take an animal's life" has several underlying assumptions which can be false. In right-mindedness it is obvious that ideas are increased because they are provided out or provided, and "taking" a "life" or anything at all does not have any meaning. All that I provide is directed at mySelf, and in giving there's no loss, no sacrifice, and nothing is actually taken away from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God does not need anything that cannot be given away. Such is the Pleasure of miracles! Thinking vegetables seem to be flung every where, however there is never a glance back again to see where the seeds land. The seeds are never for an "other," and since giving and receiving are the exact same your head gets the gifts it gives. That is truly the party you find for beneath the ego's questions.

The only real problem that need be asked is a issue that's not necessarily absurd at all: Am I ready to know that God's Can and My Possess are the Same? God's Will for Me is for Great Happiness. And what but that May could be the May of Christ? Fortunately, nothing may change Endless Love. Thank You God!
