Problem: What is Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the questions that can come to your brain, even though they appear “rather peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived suffering has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to produce the misperception called pain.
Suffering was the illusion that Christ can leave a Caring Creator’s Mind. “If pain is real there is number God. If Lord is real there is number pain.”(W-190.3) The latter holds true since Lord doesn’t have opposite. Enlightenment entails no suffering or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Continuous Happiness, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Regular, Enlightenment understands perhaps not of change. The illusion of weakness and changing thoughts has gone as well. There is no ego to fall “right back into.” Heart Abides in gentle Love. All suffering is over Now and nothing remains but a benefit of Stillness.
The Sacred Heart is the memory that Life is Eternal. The Provide Time could be the gate way to Eternity. The entire world of images was an environment of illusion. Photographs are therefore natural to the Sacred Spirit. They were “neutralized” the quick they seemed to arise.
What does this suggest with regards to your second problem? You cannot kill what’s never lived, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness hurt is impossible. Figures were never born and never die since the planet of pictures is the past. It is impossible to locate beginnings a course in miracles and endings in a program that’s currently prepared and over long ago. There is no life in images. Here is the meaning of “Hold number graven images ahead of the Master Thy God.” All photos were made to hidden the Reality from attention, and they can just be forgiven together illusion. If illusions could be divided up in to residing and lifeless, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment would be impossible. For what’s Enlightenment but Real Oneness, far beyond the possibility of team of any kind? The separate mind was the illusion. Find not to task the separate mind to forms and call some forms alive and some types dead. Lord understands not form. The split brain seemed to be the “killer” dream, the Sacred Soul tells the sleeping mind that what’s full and unified can never BE split. In Paradise Mind is One Soul, and also pertaining to this world forgiveness shows that Oneness. The understood earth acknowledges the unity of the recovered mind and sees that there’s nothing “outside” with this single mind which desires lightly a happy, light dream. The goal of ACIM would be to desire gently of a sinless world. That goal is a lot more than probable, it is certain!
As for my seeming diet, “eat what is served” could be the Advice I was presented with from the Holy Heart many years ago. Join together with your brother and let number principle come involving the Love you share. This Guidance has not changed. “Dinner” is obviously a background for discussing the Pleasure of the Residing Moment. What the planet calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are actually all the same in the Enlightened State. The Healed Perspective considers the sameness of all things because they all share the exact same Purpose: forgiveness. This Perspective is not “particular,” for in unified understanding nothing is personal. Lord is not any respecter of persons. I virtually can not “take” an animal’s “life” since Life is Soul and can just only be extended or Given as God Gives. “Take” doesn’t have meaning in my own brain and since creatures haven’t “lived” it’s impossible that they could “die.” The opinion indicated in thinking “individually get an animal’s life” has many underlying assumptions which can be false. In right-mindedness it’s obvious that some ideas are increased because they are given away or shared, and “taking” a “life” or anything more doesn’t have meaning. All that I give is given to mySelf, and in giving there’s no loss, no compromise, and nothing is actually recinded from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God does not need whatever can not be given away. Such could be the Pleasure of wonders! The idea seeds seem to be flung everywhere, however there’s never a good glance back once again to see where the seeds land. The vegetables are never for an “other,” and since giving and obtaining are exactly the same your head gets the presents it gives. This really is truly the food you find for underneath the ego’s questions.
The only question that need be requested is really a issue that’s not really absurd at all: Am I prepared to know that God’s Will and My Possess will be the Same? God’s May for Me is for Perfect Happiness. And what but this Will is the Can of Christ? Happily, nothing can change Timeless Love. Thank You Lord!
