What’s Enlightenment? The teachings of David Hoffmeister and ACIM
Issue: What’s Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the questions that come to the mind, even though they seem “instead peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived suffering has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness appeared to create the misperception called pain.
Pain was the impression that Christ could leave a Supportive Creator’s Mind. “If suffering is real there is no God. If God is true there is number 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 Real, Constant Happiness, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Continuous, Enlightenment knows not of change. The illusion of susceptibility and fluctuating feelings went as well. There is number vanity to fall “straight back into.” Heart Abides in delicate Love. All suffering is over Now and nothing stays but a blessing of Stillness.
The Holy Soul is the memory that Life is acim. The Provide Time may be the gate way to Eternity. The entire world of pictures was a full world of illusion. Photos are therefore basic to the Holy Spirit. They certainly were “neutralized” the quick they seemed to arise.
What does that suggest in terms of your second issue? You can’t kill what’s never lived, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perception of forgiveness harm is impossible. Bodies were never born and never die because the world of pictures could be the past. It is difficult to find beginnings and endings in a program that is previously published and around extended ago. There’s no living in images. Here is the indicating of “Hold no graven photos prior to the Master Thy God.” All pictures were built to hidden the Truth from understanding, and they are able to only be understood as you illusion. If illusions could possibly be separated up into residing and useless, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, far beyond the chance of division of all kinds? The split mind was the illusion. Find not to task the split mind to types and call some forms alive and some types dead. God knows not form. The separate mind was the “killer” impression, the Holy Heart reminds the sleeping brain that what’s full and specific can never BE split. In Heaven Brain is One Soul, and even regarding this earth forgiveness shows this Oneness. The forgiven world understands the unity of the healed brain and sees that there surely is nothing “outside” of this simple brain which desires lightly a pleased, delicate dream. The goal of ACIM would be to desire lightly of a sinless world. This aim is more than possible, it’s inevitable!
In terms of my seeming diet, “consume what is served” could be the Advice I was presented with from the Holy Soul several years ago. Join along with your brother and let no notion come involving the Love you share. That Guidance has not changed. “Dinner” is obviously a history for sharing the Delight of the Living Moment. What the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are really the same in the Enlightened State. The Recovered Perception sees the sameness of all things since they all share the exact same Purpose: forgiveness. This Perception isn’t “personal,” for in specific understanding nothing is personal. Lord isn’t any respecter of persons. I literally can not “take” an animal’s “life” since Living is Spirit and can only be lengthy or Provided as Lord Gives. “Take” has no indicating within my brain and because animals have never “lived” it is impossible that they may “die.” The belief indicated in thinking “privately take an animal’s life” has several main assumptions which are false. In right-mindedness it’s clear that some ideas are heightened because they are given out or distributed, and “taking” a “life” or anything more has no meaning. All that I provide is given to mySelf, and in offering there’s number reduction, no sacrifice, and nothing is ever removed from wholeness and unity. The instructor of God does not want whatever cannot be provided away. Such is the Delight of wonders! Thinking vegetables seem to be flung every-where, however there’s never a glance back once again to see where in actuality the seeds land. The seeds are never for an “other,” and since giving and receiving are the exact same your head receives the presents it gives. That is really the party you seek for underneath the ego’s questions.
The only real question that require be requested is really a problem that is not necessarily absurd at all: Am I ready to learn that God’s Can and My Own are the Same? God’s Will for Me is for Ideal Happiness. And what but this May is the Will of Christ? Happily, nothing can change Endless Love. Thank You God!
