What is Enlightenment? The teachings of Mark Hoffmeister and ACIM
What’s Enlightenment?
Thanks for wondering the questions which come to the mind, even when they seem “somewhat peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all observed suffering has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to create the misperception named pain.
Pain was the impression that Christ could keep a Caring Creator’s Mind. “If suffering is actual there’s number God. If God is true there’s no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter does work since God does not have any opposite. Enlightenment entails number pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Genuine, Regular acim Pleasure, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment knows maybe not of change. The dream of weakness and fluctuating thoughts went as well. There’s no vanity to fall “straight back into.” Heart Abides in light Love. All pain is finished Today and nothing stays but a blessing of Stillness.
The Sacred Heart could be the reminder that Life is Eternal. The Provide Time is the gateway to Eternity. The world of images was a world of illusion. Pictures are thus basic to the Holy Spirit. These were “neutralized” the instant they did actually arise.
What does that mean with regards to your second problem? You can’t destroy what’s never lived, and in the Sacred Spirit’s Perception of forgiveness damage is impossible. Figures were never created and never die because the world of photographs may be the past. It’s impossible to locate origins and endings in a program that’s already published and over long ago. There is no living in images. This is the meaning of “Hold number graven pictures before the Lord Thy God.” All pictures were built to hidden the Truth from recognition, and they could only be understood as one illusion. If illusions could possibly be separated up in to living and lifeless, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment will be impossible. For what’s Enlightenment but Real Oneness, far beyond the chance of team of any kind? The separate mind was the illusion. Seek not to task the split brain to types and call some types living and some types dead. Lord knows not form. The split brain appeared to be the “killer” illusion, yet the Holy Nature tells the asleep brain that what is full and specific can never BE split. In Heaven Mind is One Spirit, and also pertaining to this world forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The understood earth understands the unity of the recovered brain and considers that there surely is nothing “outside” of the single mind which desires lightly a pleased, mild dream. The target of ACIM would be to dream gently of a sinless world. This purpose is significantly more than probable, it is certain!
As for my seeming diet, “consume what’s served” could be the Guidance I was given from the Sacred Heart several years ago. Join with your brother and let number principle come between the Love you share. That Guidance hasn’t changed. “Dinner” is obviously a history for sharing the Joy of the Residing Moment. What the planet calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are really yet in the Enlightened State. The Relieved Perspective sees the sameness of everything since they all share exactly the same Purpose: forgiveness. This Perception isn’t “personal,” for in single notion nothing is personal. God isn’t any respecter of persons. I actually cannot “take” an animal’s “life” because Life is Heart and can only just be extensive or Given as Lord Gives. “Take” doesn’t have meaning in my brain and since animals have not “lived” it is difficult that they may “die.” The belief stated in thinking “personally get an animal’s life” has several underlying assumptions which are false. In right-mindedness it is clear that a few ideas are heightened as they are given away or distributed, and “taking” a “life” or some thing does not have any meaning. All that I give is directed at mySelf, and in providing there is no loss, no lose, and nothing is ever recinded from wholeness and unity. The instructor of Lord does not want something that can’t be provided away. Such could be the Joy of miracles! The thought vegetables be seemingly flung every-where, however there is never a good glance back again to see where the seeds land. The seeds are never for an “other,” and because offering and getting are the same your head gets the gifts it gives. This really is really the party you find for underneath the ego’s questions.
The only problem that require be asked is really a question that’s certainly not foolish at all: Am I ready to understand that God’s Can and My Possess would be the Same? God’s Will for Me is for Perfect Happiness. And what but that Will could be the Can of Christ? Cheerfully, nothing can transform Endless Love. Thank You Lord!
