What’s Enlightenment? The teachings of Mark Hoffmeister and ACIM
What is Enlightenment?
Thanks for wondering the issues that can come to the mind, even though they appear “relatively peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all observed suffering has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness looked to produce the misperception called pain.
Suffering was the dream that Christ can leave a Loving Creator’s Mind. “If suffering is true there’s no God. If God is real there’s no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true because Lord has no opposite. Enlightenment entails no suffering or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Regular Happiness, Peace, Flexibility, and acim Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment knows perhaps not of change. The dream of susceptibility and changing thoughts has gone as well. There’s no pride to fall “straight back into.” Soul Abides in gentle Love. All pain is finished Now and nothing stays but a blessing of Stillness.
The Holy Spirit could be the note that Living is Eternal. The Present Time could be the gateway to Eternity. The entire world of photographs was a full world of illusion. Images are therefore simple to the Sacred Spirit. They were “neutralized” the instant they appeared to arise.
What does that suggest in terms of your next issue? You cannot destroy what has never existed, and in the Sacred Spirit’s Perception of forgiveness hurt is impossible. Bodies were never created and never die because the planet of images is the past. It’s impossible to get beginnings and endings in a software that is already prepared and over extended ago. There’s number life in images. This is the indicating of “Maintain no graven photos before the Master Thy God.” All photographs were built to obscure the Truth from recognition, and they can just be understood together illusion. If illusions could be separated up in to residing and dead, normal and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment will be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Real Oneness, much beyond the possibility of team of any kind? The separate brain was the illusion. Seek 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 seemed to be the “killer” illusion, yet the Sacred Nature reminds the resting mind that what’s whole and single can never BE split. In Heaven Mind is One Spirit, and actually with regard to this earth forgiveness shows that Oneness. The forgiven earth understands the unity of the relieved brain and considers that there is nothing “outside” of this simple mind which dreams gently a pleased, mild dream. The target of ACIM would be to desire lightly of a sinless world. That aim is more than possible, it is inevitable!
In terms of my seeming diet, “eat what is served” could be the Advice I was handed from the Sacred Spirit many years ago. Join along with your brother and allow number concept come involving the Love you share. That Guidance hasn’t changed. “Dinner” is obviously a foundation for sharing the Pleasure of the Residing Moment. What the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are very the same in the Enlightened State. The Relieved Perception sees the sameness of things because each of them reveal the exact same Purpose: forgiveness. That Perception isn’t “particular,” for in unified understanding nothing is personal. God is not any respecter of persons. I practically cannot “take” an animal’s “life” since Life is Soul and can only just be extended or Provided as God Gives. “Take” has no meaning in my mind and because creatures have not “lived” it’s difficult that they may “die.” The opinion indicated in thinking “privately take an animal’s life” has many main assumptions that are false. In right-mindedness it is clear that some ideas are strengthened because they are given out or provided, and “taking” a “life” or anything more has no meaning. All that I provide is directed at mySelf, and in offering there’s no loss, number compromise, and nothing is actually taken away from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God does not need something that can’t be given away. Such is the Joy of miracles! The thought vegetables be seemingly flung everywhere, yet there is never a view back once again to see where in fact the seeds land. The seeds are never for an “different,” and since giving and obtaining are the same the mind gets the gifts it gives. This is truly the feast you seek for underneath the ego’s questions.
The only problem that need be asked is really a problem that’s not really ridiculous at all: Am I prepared to know that God’s Will and My Possess will be the Same? God’s Will for Me is for Perfect Happiness. And what but that Will could be the Will of Christ? Happily, nothing may change Eternal Love. Thank You God!
