What is Enlightenment? The teachings of Mark Hoffmeister and ACIM
What's Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the questions that come to the mind, even though they appear “rather peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all observed pain has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to create the misperception named pain.
Pain was the dream that Christ could keep a Supportive Creator's Mind. “If suffering is real there is no God. If God is actual there is number pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true since Lord has no opposite. Enlightenment entails no pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Real, Regular Pleasure, acim Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Continuous, Enlightenment knows perhaps not of change. The dream of vulnerability and fluctuating emotions moved as well. There's number vanity to fall “back into.” Soul Abides in delicate Love. All suffering is over Today and nothing remains but a blessing of Stillness.
The Sacred Nature could be the note that Life is Eternal. The Provide Time could be the gateway to Eternity. The planet of photos was a full world of illusion. Images are therefore simple to the Sacred Spirit. These were “neutralized” the quick they appeared to arise.
What does that mean in relation to the second question? You cannot destroy what's never existed, and in the Sacred Spirit's Perspective of forgiveness damage is impossible. Bodies were never born and never die since the world of pictures may be the past. It is difficult to get origins and endings in a program that's already prepared and around extended ago. There is number life in images. This is actually the meaning of “Hold no graven pictures prior to the Master Thy God.” All images were designed to unknown the Truth from attention, and they can just be understood as you illusion. If illusions might be separated up in to residing and useless, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment will be impossible. For what's Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, far beyond the likelihood of team of any sort? The split mind was the illusion. Find to not project the separate brain to forms and call some types alive and some types dead. Lord knows perhaps not form. The split mind was the “killer” impression, the Sacred Nature reminds the resting mind that what is full and unified can never BE split. In Heaven Brain is One Nature, and also pertaining to that earth forgiveness shows that Oneness. The forgiven world understands the unity of the healed brain and sees that there is nothing “outside” of this simple brain which desires gently a pleased, gentle dream. The target of ACIM is to dream gently of a sinless world. This purpose is a lot more than possible, it's inevitable!
For my appearing diet, “consume what's served” may be the Guidance I was handed from the Holy Spirit many years ago. Join with your brother and allow number concept come between the Enjoy you share. That Guidance hasn't changed. “Dinner” is obviously a history for sharing the Joy of the Living Moment. What the planet calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are actually all the same in the Enlightened State. The Relieved Perspective sees the sameness of all things since they all share exactly the same Function: forgiveness. That Perception isn't “personal,” for in good understanding nothing is personal. God isn't any respecter of persons. I literally can not “take” an animal's “life” because Life is Heart and can only be extended or Provided as Lord Gives. “Take” doesn't have indicating in my brain and because animals haven't “lived” it's difficult that they could “die.” The opinion expressed in thinking “privately take an animal's life” has several underlying assumptions which can be false. In right-mindedness it is evident that some ideas are heightened because they are provided away or distributed, and “taking” a “life” or anything more does not have any meaning. All that I give is fond of mySelf, and in giving there is number reduction, no lose, and nothing is actually recinded from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God does not need something that can not be given away. Such may be the Pleasure of wonders! The idea vegetables seem to be flung every-where, yet there's never a good glance back once again to see where in fact the seeds land. The seeds are never for an “different,” and since providing and receiving are the same your brain receives the gifts it gives. This is really the feast you find for within the ego's questions.
The only real issue that need be requested is a problem that is certainly not ridiculous at all: Am I prepared to learn that God's Can and My Own are the Same? God's Can for Me is for Ideal Happiness. And what but that Can could be the Can of Christ? Joyfully, nothing can alter Timeless Love. Thank You God!
