What is Enlightenment? The teachings of A Course In Miracles

Question: What’s Enlightenment?

Thanks for asking the issues that come to your mind, even if they appear “somewhat peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to produce the misperception named pain.

Suffering was the impression that Christ could leave a Caring Creator’s Mind. “If pain is actual there’s number God. If God is actual there’s no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true since Lord has no opposite. Enlightenment entails number pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, acim Happiness, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment knows maybe not of change. The dream of susceptibility and varying thoughts moved as well. There is no confidence to fall “back into.” Soul Abides in soft Love. All pain is finished Today and nothing remains but an advantage of Stillness.

The Holy Spirit could be the reminder that Life is Eternal. The Present Time is the gate way to Eternity. The world of pictures was a world of illusion. Images are thus basic to the Holy Spirit. These were “neutralized” the instant they appeared to arise.

What does this mean in relation to your second problem? You can’t destroy what has never lived, and in the Sacred Spirit’s Perception of forgiveness damage is impossible. Figures were never born and never die since the planet of photos may be the past. It is impossible to locate beginnings and endings in a script that is presently prepared and around long ago. There is number life in images. Here is the meaning of “Maintain no graven pictures before the Master Thy God.” All photos were built to obscure the Truth from awareness, and they are able to just be forgiven as one illusion. If illusions could be separated up into residing and lifeless, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment would be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, far beyond the chance of section of any sort? The split brain was the illusion. Seek to not task the split mind to types and contact some types alive and some forms dead. Lord knows perhaps not form. The split brain seemed to be the “killer” impression, yet the Sacred Nature tells the resting brain that what is whole and unified can never BE split. In Paradise Brain is One Soul, and even pertaining to that world forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The forgiven world identifies the unity of the recovered mind and sees that there is nothing “outside” of the single brain which dreams lightly a pleased, light dream. The target of ACIM is always to dream gently of a sinless world. This goal is significantly more than probable, it is expected!

As for my seeming diet, “eat what is served” could be the Guidance I was handed from the Sacred Nature several years ago. Join with your brother and allow number principle come between the Love you share. That Advice has not changed. “Dinner” is definitely a backdrop for discussing the Pleasure of the Living Moment. What the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are really all the same in the Enlightened State. The Healed Perception considers the sameness of things since they all share exactly the same Function: forgiveness. This Perception isn’t “personal,” for in specific perception nothing is personal. Lord isn’t any respecter of persons. I practically cannot “take” an animal’s “life” since Living is Spirit and can only be expanded or Provided as Lord Gives. “Take” doesn’t have indicating in my own mind and since animals have not “lived” it is difficult that they might “die.” The belief expressed in the idea “personally get an animal’s life” has many underlying assumptions which are false. In right-mindedness it is apparent that ideas are strengthened because they are given out or discussed, and “taking” a “life” or some thing has no meaning. All that I give is fond of mySelf, and in giving there is no reduction, number sacrifice, and nothing is ever taken away from wholeness and unity. The instructor of God does not need something that can’t be provided away. Such could be the Pleasure of wonders! The thought vegetables appear to be flung every where, yet there is never even a view back once again to see where in actuality the vegetables land. The vegetables are never for an “other,” and since offering and obtaining are the exact same your brain gets the presents it gives. That is really the food you find for within the ego’s questions.

The only question that need be asked is really a issue that’s certainly not absurd at all: Am I ready to know that God’s Can and My Own would be the Same? God’s Can for Me is for Great Happiness. And what but this Will could be the May of Christ? Cheerfully, nothing can alter Timeless Love. Thank You God!
