What is Enlightenment? The teachings of Brian Hoffmeister and ACIM
What’s Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the issues that come to your brain, even though they seem “somewhat peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness felt to create the misperception named pain.
Pain was the illusion that Christ could leave a Loving Creator’s Mind. “If pain is actual there is number God. If God is true there is no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter holds true because God does not have any opposite. Enlightenment entails number suffering or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Real, Constant Pleasure, Peace acim , Freedom, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment knows perhaps not of change. The illusion of vulnerability and fluctuating feelings has gone as well. There is no vanity to fall “back into.” Spirit Abides in mild Love. All suffering has ended Today and nothing remains but an advantage of Stillness.
The Sacred Nature is the memory that Life is Eternal. The Present Moment may be the gateway to Eternity. The world of images was a world of illusion. Pictures are thus natural to the Sacred Spirit. These were “neutralized” the immediate they appeared to arise.
What does that mean with regards to your next question? You cannot destroy what has never lived, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness harm is impossible. Bodies were never created and never die because the planet of photographs may be the past. It’s impossible to locate origins and endings in a program that is currently published and around long ago. There is no living in images. This is the meaning of “Hold no graven images before the Master Thy God.” All photos were built to unknown the Reality from awareness, and they are able to just be understood as you illusion. If illusions could possibly be separated up in to living and lifeless, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment will be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Genuine Oneness, much beyond the possibility of division of any sort? The separate brain was the illusion. Seek never to task the split mind to types and contact some types living and some forms dead. God knows perhaps not form. The split brain seemed to be the “killer” impression, yet the Holy Nature reminds the asleep brain that what is full and single cannot BE split. In Paradise Brain is One Heart, and even with regard to that earth forgiveness shows this Oneness. The understood earth realizes the unity of the recovered brain and sees that there surely is nothing “outside” of the simple mind which desires softly a pleased, delicate dream. The goal of ACIM is to dream softly of a sinless world. That aim is significantly more than probable, it’s expected!
As for my appearing diet, “consume what’s served” may be the Guidance I was handed from the Sacred Heart a long time ago. Join along with your brother and allow no principle come between the Love you share. That Guidance hasn’t changed. “Dinner” is obviously a foundation for sharing the Joy of the Residing Moment. What the entire world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are actually yet in the Enlightened State. The Relieved Perception sees the sameness of things because all of them share the exact same Purpose: forgiveness. This Perception is not “personal,” for in specific understanding nothing is personal. God is no respecter of persons. I practically can not “take” an animal’s “life” because Living is Spirit and can just only be extensive or Given as Lord Gives. “Take” does not have any meaning in my own mind and since animals have never “lived” it’s difficult that they may “die.” The opinion expressed in the thought “individually get an animal’s life” has many main assumptions that are false. In right-mindedness it’s clear that a few ideas are heightened because they are provided away or shared, and “taking” a “life” or anything at all does not have any meaning. All that I provide is given to mySelf, and in providing there’s number reduction, no lose, and nothing is ever recinded from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God does not want whatever can not be given away. Such may be the Pleasure of wonders! The thought vegetables appear to be flung every-where, however there is never a view back to see where in fact the vegetables land. The seeds are never for an “other,” and because giving and getting are exactly the 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 asked is a question that’s not really absurd at all: Am I ready to understand that God’s Can and My Possess will be the Same? God’s May for Me is for Great Happiness. And what but that May could be the Will of Christ? Fortunately, nothing can alter Timeless Love. Thank You God!
