What is Enlightenment? The teachings of Mark Hoffmeister and ACIM

Problem: What’s Enlightenment?

Thanks for wondering the issues which come to your mind, even though they appear “somewhat peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all observed suffering has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to create the misperception named pain.

Pain was the illusion that acim can leave a Warm Creator’s Mind. “If suffering is true there’s no God. If God is actual there’s no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true since Lord does not have any opposite. Enlightenment entails no pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Regular Pleasure, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment understands perhaps not of change. The impression of weakness and fluctuating feelings has gone as well. There is no confidence to drop “straight back into.” Nature Abides in delicate Love. All pain is finished Now and nothing stays but an advantage of Stillness.

The Sacred Nature could be the memory that Life is Eternal. The Present Moment may be the gateway to Eternity. The world of photographs was a world of illusion. Photos are therefore neutral to the Holy Spirit. They certainly were “neutralized” the quick they seemed to arise.

What does this mean in terms of your second question? You cannot eliminate what has never lived, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness harm is impossible. Figures were never born and never die since the entire world of photos is the past. It is impossible to find beginnings and endings in a program that is presently published and around long ago. There’s number life in images. This is the meaning of “Hold no graven pictures ahead of the Lord Thy God.” All pictures were built to unknown the Reality from understanding, and they can just be forgiven together illusion. If illusions could be split up into residing and lifeless, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossible. For what’s Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, much beyond the possibility of department of any sort? The separate mind was the illusion. Find never to task the split brain to forms and call some types living and some forms dead. God understands perhaps not form. The separate brain seemed to be the “killer” dream, yet the Holy Heart tells the resting brain that what’s whole and good can never BE split. In Heaven Brain is One Heart, and actually with regard to this earth forgiveness shows that Oneness. The understood world acknowledges the unity of the relieved mind and considers that there’s nothing “outside” with this simple mind which dreams gently a happy, light dream. The target of ACIM is to dream gently of a sinless world. This goal is a lot more than probable, it is inevitable!

In terms of my appearing diet, “eat what’s served” may be the Advice I was given from the Sacred Spirit a long time ago. Join with your brother and let number notion come between the Enjoy you share. This Advice hasn’t changed. “Dinner” is definitely a background for sharing the Delight of the Living Moment. What the entire world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are really the same in the Enlightened State. The Relieved Perception sees the sameness of all things because they all reveal the exact same Purpose: forgiveness. That Perspective isn’t “personal,” for in good understanding nothing is personal. Lord is no respecter of persons. I virtually can not “take” an animal’s “life” because Living is Nature and can just only be lengthy or Provided as Lord Gives. “Take” doesn’t have indicating in my brain and since animals have never “lived” it is impossible that they might “die.” The opinion indicated in the thought “professionally get an animal’s life” has many underlying assumptions which are false. In right-mindedness it’s clear that some ideas are heightened since they are given away or distributed, and “taking” a “life” or anything at all doesn’t have meaning. All that I provide is fond of mySelf, and in providing there’s no loss, number sacrifice, and nothing is ever removed from wholeness and unity. The teacher of Lord does not want anything that can not be provided away. Such could be the Pleasure of wonders! The thought vegetables appear to be flung everywhere, yet there’s never a glance back again to see where in fact the vegetables land. The seeds are never for an “different,” and because giving and getting are exactly the same your head receives the presents it gives. This really is truly the feast you seek for underneath the ego’s questions.

The only issue that need be asked is just a problem that’s not necessarily foolish at all: Am I ready to understand that God’s May and My Possess would be the Same? God’s Will for Me is for Great Happiness. And what but this May is the Will of Christ? Joyfully, nothing can change Endless Love. Thank You God!
