What is Enlightenment? The teachings of A Class In Miracles
What is Enlightenment?
Thanks for wondering the questions which come to your mind, even if they seem “fairly peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived suffering has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness looked to make the misperception called pain.
Suffering was the impression that Christ could keep a Caring Creator’s Mind. “If suffering is real there’s no God. If Lord is real there is no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true because Lord does not have any opposite. Enlightenment entails no pain or eckhart tolle a course in miracles displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Natural, Constant Happiness, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Continuous, Enlightenment understands not of change. The dream of weakness and fluctuating feelings has gone as well. There is number vanity to drop “straight back into.” Heart Abides in gentle Love. All pain is over Now and nothing remains but a benefit of Stillness.
The Holy Heart is the reminder that Living is Eternal. The Present Time could be the gateway to Eternity. The entire world of pictures was a full world of illusion. Images are therefore natural to the Holy Spirit. They certainly were “neutralized” the instant they appeared to arise.
What does this suggest in relation to your second question? You can’t kill what has never existed, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness harm is impossible. Bodies were never born and never die because the world of photos may be the past. It’s difficult to get beginnings and endings in a program that’s currently prepared and over extended ago. There is no life in images. This is actually the indicating of “Maintain number graven pictures prior to the Lord Thy God.” All photos were made to unknown the Reality from recognition, and they are able to only be understood as one illusion. If illusions could be separated up into living and useless, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment would be impossible. For what’s Enlightenment but Real Oneness, far beyond the possibility of division of any sort? The separate brain was the illusion. Find not to project the separate brain to forms and call some forms alive and some forms dead. God knows maybe not form. The split brain seemed to be the “killer” impression, yet the Holy Soul tells the asleep mind that what’s whole and unified cannot BE split. In Paradise Mind is One Heart, and even pertaining to this earth forgiveness reflects that Oneness. The understood world understands the unity of the recovered brain and sees that there’s nothing “outside” of this simple mind which desires gently a pleased, soft dream. The goal of ACIM would be to dream lightly of a sinless world. That aim is more than probable, it is inevitable!
As for my seeming diet, “consume what’s served” may be the Guidance I was presented with from the Holy Heart many years ago. Join along with your brother and let no principle come involving the Love you share. This Advice has not changed. “Dinner” is always a background for sharing the Pleasure of the Living Moment. What the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are very yet in the Enlightened State. The Recovered Perception sees the sameness of all things because all of them reveal the exact same Function: forgiveness. That Perspective is not “particular,” for in single understanding nothing is personal. God is no respecter of persons. I practically can not “take” an animal’s “life” because Life is Nature and can only be expanded or Given as Lord Gives. “Take” has no indicating within my brain and since animals haven’t “lived” it is difficult that they may “die.” The belief indicated in the thought “individually take an animal’s life” has many underlying assumptions which can be false. In right-mindedness it is clear that a few ideas are increased because they are given out or shared, and “taking” a “life” or anything at all does not have any meaning. All that I give is fond of mySelf, and in offering there is no loss, number lose, and nothing is actually removed from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God does not want something that can’t be provided away. Such is the Delight of miracles! The thought vegetables seem to be flung every-where, yet there’s never a good view back to see where in actuality the vegetables land. The vegetables are never for an “other,” and because offering and getting are exactly the same your brain receives the gifts it gives. That is really the food you find for within the ego’s questions.
The only real problem that want be asked is just a problem that is not necessarily foolish at all: Am I ready to know that God’s May and My Possess would be the Same? God’s May for Me is for Ideal Happiness. And what but this May may be the May of Christ? Joyfully, nothing can alter Endless Love. Thank You God!
