What’s Enlightenment? The teachings of A Program In Wonders
What’s Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the questions that can come to the mind, even if they appear “fairly peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived suffering has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness appeared to produce the misperception called pain.
Pain was the impression that Christ can keep a Loving Creator’s Mind. “If suffering is real there’s no God. If Lord is real there’s number pain.”(W-190.3) The latter holds true since God doesn’t have opposite. Enlightenment entails no suffering or a course in miracles displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Continuous Happiness, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment understands not of change. The impression of weakness and changing thoughts went as well. There is no pride to drop “back into.” Spirit Abides in soft Love. All pain is over Today and nothing stays but a benefit of Stillness.
The Sacred Soul is the note that Living is Eternal. The Provide Time is the gateway to Eternity. The world of photos was a world of illusion. Pictures are therefore basic to the Holy Spirit. These were “neutralized” the instant they seemed to arise.
What does this suggest in relation to the second issue? You cannot kill what’s never lived, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness hurt is impossible. Figures were never created and never die because the world of photos could be the past. It’s impossible to find origins and endings in a script that is presently published and around extended ago. There’s no life in images. This is actually the meaning of “Hold no graven images ahead of the Lord Thy God.” All pictures were designed to hidden the Reality from attention, and they can just be forgiven as you illusion. If illusions could be separated up in to living and dead, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment would be impossible. For what’s Enlightenment but Genuine Oneness, far beyond the possibility of section of all kinds? The separate brain was the illusion. Seek to not task the separate mind to forms and call some forms living and some forms dead. Lord understands not form. The separate mind seemed to be the “killer” illusion, yet the Holy Heart reminds the resting mind that what is whole and good cannot BE split. In Paradise Brain is One Soul, and also with regard to that world forgiveness shows that Oneness. The forgiven earth recognizes the unity of the recovered brain and considers that there’s nothing “outside” with this simple mind which desires lightly a pleased, soft dream. The target of ACIM is to dream lightly of a sinless world. That purpose is a lot more than probable, it’s expected!
For my seeming diet, “consume what is served” may be the Advice I was handed from the Sacred Nature several years ago. Join together with your brother and let no notion come between the Love you share. That Advice has not changed. “Dinner” is always a foundation for sharing the Joy 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 things since each of them share the exact same Purpose: forgiveness. That Perception isn’t “particular,” for in specific perception nothing is personal. God isn’t any respecter of persons. I virtually can’t “take” an animal’s “life” because Life is Nature and can just only be lengthy or Provided as Lord Gives. “Take” doesn’t have meaning within my mind and because animals have not “lived” it’s impossible that they might “die.” The belief expressed in the thought “privately take an animal’s life” has several underlying assumptions that are false. In right-mindedness it’s apparent that a few ideas are heightened as they are provided away or shared, and “taking” a “life” or anything more doesn’t have meaning. All that I provide is directed at mySelf, and in giving there is number loss, number sacrifice, and nothing is ever recinded from wholeness and unity. The instructor of Lord does not need whatever can not be given away. Such may be the Pleasure of miracles! The idea vegetables seem to be flung everywhere, yet there is never a glance back again to see where in fact the seeds land. The seeds are never for an “other,” and since providing and receiving are the same your brain receives the gifts it gives. This really is really the feast you find for underneath the ego’s questions.
The only problem that want be asked is just a issue that’s not necessarily absurd at all: Am I ready to learn that God’s Will and My Own would be the Same? God’s Will for Me is for Perfect Happiness. And what but that May is the Can of Christ? Fortunately, nothing may change Endless Love. Thank You God!
