Question: Precisely what is Enlightenment?
Appreciate your asking the questions that can come for your mind, even though they appear “rather peculiar” to you personally. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has disappeared, for the purpose but wrong-mindedness appeared to make the misperception called pain.
Pain was the illusion that Christ could leave a Loving Creator’s Mind. “If pain is real there is absolutely no God. If God is real there isn’t any pain.”(W-190.3) Aforementioned applies because God has no 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 also. There is absolutely no ego to fall “back into.” Spirit Abides in gentle Love. All pain is over Now and absolutely nothing remains however a blessing of Stillness.
The Holy Spirit could be the reminder that Life’s Eternal. The current Moment could be the gateway to Eternity. The concept of images was obviously a world of illusion. Images are thus neutral towards the Holy Spirit. These were “neutralized” when they appeared to arise.
What does this mean in relation to your second question? You can not kill what’s never lived, along with the Holy Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness harm isn’t feasible. Bodies were never born and don’t die as the whole world of images could be the past. It’s impossible to locate beginnings and endings in a script that is already written well as over in the past. There is no life in images. This can be the meaning of “Hold no graven images prior to the Lord Thy God.” All images were created to obscure the Truth from awareness, plus they is only able to be forgiven as one illusion. If illusions could be divided up into living and dead, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossible. For the purpose is Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, far beyond the potential of division regardless of the sort? 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 have also been the “killer” illusion, the Holy Spirit reminds the sleeping mind that what is whole and unified can’t ever BE split. In Heaven Brain is One Spirit, and also intended for this world forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The forgiven world recognizes the unity with the healed mind and sees that there’s nothing “outside” of this single mind which dreams softly a pleasant, gentle dream. The objective of ACIM is to dream softly of the sinless world. This goal is much more than possible, it can be inevitable!
Regarding my seeming diet, “eat what’s served” will be the Guidance I used to be given in the Holy Spirit in the past. Join together with your brother and let no concept come relating to the Adore you share. This Guidance has not yet changed. “Dinner” is usually a backdrop for sharing the industry of the Living Moment. What are the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are really the same within the Enlightened State. The Healed Perspective sees the sameness of other nutritional foods because they all share the same Purpose: forgiveness. This attitude is not “personal,” for in unified perception there is nothing personal. God is not any 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” doesn’t have meaning in my mind and also since animals haven’t ever “lived” it can be impossible that they can could “die.” The belief expressed inside the thought “personally take an animal’s life” has many underlying assumptions that are false. In right-mindedness no doubt that ideas are strengthened as is also distributed for free or shared, and “taking” a “life” or anything at all does not have any meaning. Everything I give is offered to mySelf, as well as in giving there isn’t any loss, no sacrifice, and nothing is ever removed from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God will not want anything that cannot be distributed. Such will be the Joy of miracles! The thought seeds are most often flung everywhere, yet there’s never a glance to see the location where the seeds land. The seeds aren’t for an “other,” and since giving and receiving are the same your head receives the gifts it offers a superior. This really is the feast you seek for beneath the ego’s questions.
The one question that need get asked is a question that is not really silly in any way: Are we ready to realize that God’s Will and My own, personal are the Same? God’s Will for me personally is good for Perfect Happiness. And just what however, this Will may be the Will of Christ? Happily, nothing can transform Eternal Love. Thank You God!
