What is Enlightenment? The teachings of A Course In Wonders
What is Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the issues which come to your brain, even when they seem “somewhat peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all observed suffering has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness appeared to make the misperception called pain.
Pain was the illusion that Christ can keep a Loving Creator's Mind. “If suffering is real there is no God. If Lord is true there's number pain.”(W-190.3) The latter holds true because Lord doesn't have opposite. Enlightenment entails number pain or displeasureeckhart tolle a course in miracles about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Continuous Pleasure, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment knows not of change. The impression of susceptibility and changing feelings has gone as well. There is no pride to fall “straight back into.” Spirit Abides in delicate Love. All pain is finished Now and nothing remains but a benefit of Stillness.
The Holy Soul is the reminder that Life is Eternal. The Provide Moment is the gate way to Eternity. The planet of photographs was a full world of illusion. Photos are thus natural to the Sacred Spirit. They certainly were “neutralized” the immediate they did actually arise.
What does this mean with regards to your second question? You can't kill what has never existed, and in the Holy Spirit's Perception of forgiveness harm is impossible. Bodies were never born and never die because the planet of photos may be the past. It is impossible to get origins and endings in a software that is presently published and over extended ago. There is number living in images. This is actually the indicating of “Maintain number graven photographs before the Master Thy God.” All images were designed to hidden the Reality from attention, and they are able to just be forgiven together illusion. If illusions could be divided up into residing and lifeless, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Genuine Oneness, far beyond the possibility of team of any sort? The split brain was the illusion. Find not to task the separate mind to forms and contact some forms alive and some types dead. God knows perhaps not form. The separate mind was the “killer” dream, the Sacred Nature tells the sleeping brain that what's whole and unified can never BE split. In Heaven Mind is One Spirit, and actually pertaining to this earth forgiveness reflects that Oneness. The understood world recognizes the unity of the healed brain and sees that there's nothing “outside” with this simple mind which desires gently a pleased, mild dream. The target of ACIM is to desire gently of a sinless world. That goal is significantly more than possible, it's inevitable!
In terms of my seeming diet, “eat what is served” may be the Advice I was handed from the Holy Soul many years ago. Join along with your brother and let number concept come involving the Enjoy you share. That Guidance hasn't changed. “Dinner” is obviously a foundation for sharing the Delight of the Living Moment. What the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are actually the same in the Enlightened State. The Healed Perspective considers the sameness of all things since all of them share exactly the same Purpose: forgiveness. This Perspective is not “personal,” for in single belief nothing is personal. Lord isn't any respecter of persons. I actually cannot “take” an animal's “life” because Life is Soul and can just only be expanded or Given as God Gives. “Take” has no meaning in my own mind and since creatures have not “lived” it is difficult that they may “die.” The belief expressed in thinking “professionally take an animal's life” has several underlying assumptions which can be false. In right-mindedness it's clear that some ideas are increased as they are given out or provided, and “taking” a “life” or anything more doesn't have meaning. All that I provide is given to mySelf, and in providing there is number loss, number compromise, and nothing is actually taken away from wholeness and unity. The instructor of Lord does not need something that can not be given away. Such is the Delight of wonders! The thought vegetables be seemingly flung everywhere, yet there's never even a glance back once again to see where the vegetables land. The seeds are never for an “different,” and because offering and receiving are the same the mind gets the gifts it gives. That is really the party you seek for beneath the ego's questions.
The sole problem that need be requested is really a issue that's not really ridiculous at all: Am I ready to understand that God's May and My Own are the Same? God's Can for Me is for Perfect Happiness. And what but that Can is the Can of Christ? Fortunately, nothing can transform Endless Love. Thank You Lord!
