Question: What is Enlightenment?

Thanks for asking the questions that come to the mind, even though they seem "rather peculiar" to you. In Enlightenment all observed suffering has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness looked to produce the misperception named pain.

Pain was the dream that Christ could leave a Loving Creator's Mind. "If suffering is real there is no God. If God is real there is number pain."(W-190.3) The latter is true because Lord has no opposite. Enlightenment entails number pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, acim for Enlightenment is Pure, Constant Pleasure, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Continuous, Enlightenment understands perhaps not of change. The dream of susceptibility and fluctuating thoughts went as well. There is no pride to fall "straight back into." Heart Abides in gentle Love. All pain is finished Today and nothing remains but a blessing of Stillness.

The Sacred Heart is the reminder that Living is Eternal. The Present Moment could be the gateway to Eternity. The entire world of pictures was a full world of illusion. Pictures are therefore simple to the Sacred Spirit. They certainly were "neutralized" the quick they did actually arise.

What does this suggest in terms of your second question? You cannot eliminate what's never existed, and in the Holy Spirit's Perception of forgiveness harm is impossible. Bodies were never created and never die because the world of images could be the past. It's difficult to locate beginnings and endings in a program that is already published and over extended ago. There's no living in images. Here is the meaning of "Hold no graven photos before the Lord Thy God." All images were made to unknown the Truth from awareness, and they could just be forgiven together illusion. If illusions could possibly be split up in to residing and lifeless, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Real Oneness, much beyond the possibility of division of all kinds? The split mind was the illusion. Seek never to task the separate mind to forms and call some types living and some forms dead. Lord knows not form. The separate mind appeared to be the "killer" dream, the Sacred Nature reminds the resting brain that what's full and good cannot BE split. In Paradise Brain is One Spirit, and actually regarding that world forgiveness shows that Oneness. The forgiven earth recognizes the unity of the relieved brain and sees that there's nothing "outside" with this simple mind which desires softly a pleased, gentle dream. The goal of ACIM is always to dream softly of a sinless world. This goal is significantly more than possible, it is certain!

As for my appearing diet, "consume what's served" could be the Advice I was given from the Sacred Nature many years ago. Join with your brother and let number concept come between the Enjoy you share. That Guidance has not changed. "Dinner" is definitely a background for sharing the Delight of the Residing Moment. What the world calls "breathing" and "eating" and "drinking" and "sleeping" are really the same in the Enlightened State. The Recovered Perception sees the sameness of things because all of them share the exact same Function: forgiveness. This Perspective is not "personal," for in single perception nothing is personal. God isn't any respecter of persons. I actually can not "take" an animal's "life" because Life is Heart and can just only be extensive or Given as Lord Gives. "Take" does not have any meaning in my brain and because animals have not "lived" it is difficult that they might "die." The opinion indicated in the thought "professionally take an animal's life" has many main assumptions which can be false. In right-mindedness it is obvious that a few ideas are strengthened since they are provided away or provided, and "taking" a "life" or anything at all has no meaning. All that I give is fond of mySelf, and in offering there is no loss, number lose, and nothing is ever recinded from wholeness and unity. The teacher of Lord does not need something that can't be provided away. Such is the Delight of miracles! Thinking seeds seem to be flung every-where, yet there's never a glance back once again to see where in actuality the seeds land. The vegetables are never for an "different," and because providing and receiving are exactly the same your head receives the gifts it gives. That is really the feast you seek for beneath the ego's questions.

The sole question that want be asked is just a question that is not really foolish at all: Am I ready to learn that God's Will and My Possess would be the Same? God's Will for Me is for Perfect Happiness. And what but this Will could be the Can of Christ? Happily, nothing can transform Endless Love. Thank You Lord!
