What’s Enlightenment? The teachings of A Course In Miracles

Problem: What is Enlightenment?

Thanks for asking the questions which come to the mind, even when they seem “somewhat peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness felt to produce the misperception called pain.

Pain was the illusion that Christ could keep a Caring Creator’s Mind. “If pain is actual there’s no God. If God is real there’s no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true since Lord doesn’t have opposite. Enlightenment entails no pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Genuine, Continuous Happiness, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Regular, Enlightenment knows perhaps not of change. The dream of susceptibility and varying feelings moved as well. There is number ego to drop “right back into.” Spirit Abides in delicate Love. All suffering is finished Now and nothing stays but a blessing of Stillness acim.

The Sacred Nature may be the memory that Living is Eternal. The Provide Time may be the gate way to Eternity. The world of photographs was a full world of illusion. Images are thus basic to the Holy Spirit. They were “neutralized” the instant they appeared to arise.

What does that suggest in terms of your second issue? You cannot kill what has never lived, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perception of forgiveness damage is impossible. Figures were never created and never die because the planet of photos may be the past. It is impossible to find beginnings and endings in a script that’s presently published and over long ago. There is number living in images. This is the indicating of “Maintain no graven pictures before the Master Thy God.” All photos were built to hidden the Truth from recognition, and they could only be forgiven together illusion. If illusions could possibly be separated up in to living and dead, normal and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment would be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Natural Oneness, much beyond the possibility of division of any sort? The separate mind was the illusion. Seek never to project the separate brain to types and contact some forms alive and some types dead. Lord knows not form. The separate brain was the “killer” impression, yet the Holy Heart tells the resting mind that what’s whole and single cannot BE split. In Heaven Brain is One Spirit, and even with regard to that world forgiveness shows this Oneness. The understood world realizes the unity of the recovered brain and considers that there’s nothing “outside” of the simple brain which desires softly a happy, light dream. The goal of ACIM is to desire gently of a sinless world. That goal is more than possible, it is certain!

As for my seeming diet, “eat what is served” may be the Guidance I was given from the Sacred Nature many years ago. Join with your brother and let no notion come between the Enjoy you share. That Advice has not changed. “Dinner” is always a backdrop for sharing the Joy of the Residing Moment. What the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are very the same in the Enlightened State. The Healed Perspective sees the sameness of everything because they all share the same Function: forgiveness. This Perception is not “personal,” for in good belief nothing is personal. Lord is no respecter of persons. I actually can not “take” an animal’s “life” because Living is Spirit and can just only be prolonged or Provided as Lord Gives. “Take” has no indicating within my mind and because animals have never “lived” it’s difficult that they could “die.” The opinion stated in the idea “individually get an animal’s life” has many underlying assumptions which can be false. In right-mindedness it’s apparent that ideas are heightened because they are provided out or shared, and “taking” a “life” or some thing has no meaning. All that I give is fond of mySelf, and in offering there’s number reduction, number lose, and nothing is ever removed from wholeness and unity. The instructor of Lord does not need anything that can’t be provided away. Such could be the Delight of wonders! The idea seeds appear to be flung everywhere, however there’s never a good view back to see where the seeds land. The seeds are never for an “different,” and because giving and getting are exactly the same your brain receives the presents it gives. That is truly the feast you find for within the ego’s questions.

The only problem that require be requested is a problem that is not necessarily silly at all: Am I ready to learn that God’s Can and My Own will be the Same? God’s Will for Me is for Great Happiness. And what but that Can may be the May of Christ? Fortunately, nothing can transform Timeless Love. Thank You God!
