What's Enlightenment? The teachings of Brian Hoffmeister and ACIM
What is Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the questions that come to the mind, even if they appear “rather peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all observed suffering has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness looked to create the misperception named pain.
Suffering was the illusion that Christ can leave a Supportive Creator's Mind. “If suffering is actual there's number God. If God is actual there is number pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true because Lord does not have any opposite. Enlightenment entails no pain or displeasure acim about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Real, Regular Happiness, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment understands not of change. The dream of susceptibility and fluctuating thoughts went as well. There's no pride to drop “back into.” Heart Abides in gentle Love. All suffering has ended Today and nothing remains but a benefit of Stillness.
The Holy Soul may be the note that Living is Eternal. The Present Moment could be the gate way to Eternity. The entire world of photos was a full world of illusion. Images are thus natural to the Sacred Spirit. They certainly were “neutralized” the quick they appeared to arise.
What does that mean in relation to your second problem? You can't eliminate what's never existed, and in the Sacred Spirit's Perspective of forgiveness hurt is impossible. Figures were never born and never die since the planet of photos may be the past. It is difficult to get beginnings and endings in a software that is previously written and over extended ago. There is no life in images. This is the meaning of “Hold no graven pictures before the Master Thy God.” All images were made to obscure the Reality from consciousness, and they can only be understood as you illusion. If illusions could be divided up in to living and lifeless, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment would be impossible. For what's Enlightenment but Real Oneness, far beyond the likelihood of department of all kinds? The separate mind was the illusion. Find to not task the separate brain to forms and contact some forms living and some forms dead. God understands perhaps not form. The separate brain was the “killer” impression, the Holy Spirit tells the asleep mind that what's full and good can never BE split. In Paradise Brain is One Heart, and also regarding that earth forgiveness shows that Oneness. The understood earth acknowledges the unity of the healed brain and sees that there surely is nothing “outside” of the simple brain which dreams lightly a pleased, gentle dream. The goal of ACIM is always to dream gently of a sinless world. That aim is more than probable, it's certain!
As for my seeming diet, “eat what is served” may be the Advice I was presented with from the Sacred Spirit several years ago. Join together with your brother and let no principle come involving the Enjoy you share. This Advice hasn't changed. “Dinner” is definitely a history for discussing the Delight of the Residing Moment. What the planet calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are really all the same in the Enlightened State. The Recovered Perception considers the sameness of everything because all of them reveal exactly the same Purpose: forgiveness. This Perspective is not “particular,” for in good belief nothing is personal. God isn't any respecter of persons. I literally cannot “take” an animal's “life” since Life is Nature and can only just be extended or Provided as God Gives. “Take” has no indicating in my own mind and since animals have never “lived” it is difficult that they may “die.” The opinion stated in the idea “professionally get an animal's life” has many main assumptions which are false. In right-mindedness it is evident that a few ideas are strengthened because they are provided out or provided, and “taking” a “life” or some thing doesn't have meaning. All that I give is fond of mySelf, and in offering there is no reduction, number compromise, and nothing is ever taken away from wholeness and unity. The instructor of God does not need whatever can't be given away. Such is the Joy of wonders! Thinking seeds seem to be flung everywhere, yet there is never even a glance back once again to see where in fact the seeds land. The vegetables are never for an “different,” and since offering and receiving are the exact same the mind receives the gifts it gives. This is truly the food you seek for within the ego's questions.
The sole issue that want be asked is just a issue that is not really silly at all: Am I ready to understand that God's Will and My Own will be the Same? God's Will for Me is for Ideal Happiness. And what but that May may be the May of Christ? Cheerfully, nothing may change Endless Love. Thank You God!
