What's Enlightenment? The teachings of David Hoffmeister and ACIM
Question: What is Enlightenment?
Thanks for wondering the questions that can come to your mind, even though they appear “rather peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all observed suffering has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness looked to make the misperception called pain.
Pain was the illusion that Christ could leave a Supportive Creator's Mind. “If pain is real there's number God. If God is actual there is number pain.”(W-190.3) The latter does work because acim app God doesn't have opposite. Enlightenment entails no pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Constant Pleasure, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Regular, Enlightenment knows not of change. The impression of weakness and fluctuating feelings went as well. There's number ego to fall “right back into.” Nature Abides in gentle Love. All suffering has ended Now and nothing remains but an advantage of Stillness.
The Sacred Soul could be the note that Living is Eternal. The Present Time could be the gate way to Eternity. The world of photos was an environment of illusion. Images are thus natural to the Holy Spirit. They certainly were “neutralized” the instant they did actually arise.
What does this mean with regards to your next problem? You can't eliminate what has never existed, and in the Holy Spirit's Perspective of forgiveness hurt is impossible. Bodies were never born and never die since the entire world of pictures may be the past. It's impossible to find beginnings and endings in a script that is previously prepared and over extended ago. There is number living in images. Here is the meaning of “Maintain no graven pictures ahead of the Lord Thy God.” All photos were made to unknown the Truth from recognition, and they can just be forgiven together illusion. If illusions could be split up in to residing and useless, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment will be impossible. For what's Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, much beyond the likelihood of team of all kinds? The split mind was the illusion. Find to not task the separate brain to forms and contact some types alive and some types dead. God knows not form. The separate mind seemed to be the “killer” illusion, yet the Holy Soul reminds the sleeping mind that what's whole and good can never BE split. In Paradise Mind is One Soul, and actually with regard to this earth forgiveness shows that Oneness. The forgiven earth identifies the unity of the relieved brain and considers that there is nothing “outside” with this single mind which desires gently a happy, soft dream. The target of ACIM is to dream gently of a sinless world. This goal is a lot more than probable, it's inevitable!
As for my seeming diet, “consume what's served” could be the Guidance I was handed from the Sacred Heart many years ago. Join together with your brother and let no concept come between the Love you share. That Advice has not changed. “Dinner” is always a foundation for discussing the Pleasure of the Residing Moment. What the planet calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are really the same in the Enlightened State. The Recovered Perspective sees the sameness of all things because all of them share the exact same Function: forgiveness. This Perception is not “particular,” for in unified perception nothing is personal. God isn't any respecter of persons. I actually can't “take” an animal's “life” because Life is Spirit and can only just be expanded or Given as Lord Gives. “Take” does not have any indicating in my brain and since creatures haven't “lived” it is difficult that they could “die.” The opinion indicated in thinking “privately get an animal's life” has several underlying assumptions which are false. In right-mindedness it's clear that a few ideas are heightened since they are given out or provided, and “taking” a “life” or some thing does not have any meaning. All that I give is directed at mySelf, and in giving there's no reduction, no sacrifice, and nothing is actually taken away from wholeness and unity. The instructor of God does not need something that can not be given away. Such may be the Pleasure of miracles! Thinking vegetables seem to be flung every-where, however there is never a good glance back again to see where the seeds land. The vegetables are never for an “different,” and since offering and getting are the exact same the mind gets the gifts it gives. This really is truly the food you find for beneath the ego's questions.
The only issue that need be requested is just a question that is not necessarily foolish at all: Am I ready to learn that God's May and My Possess are the Same? God's Can for Me is for Perfect Happiness. And what but that Will could be the Can of Christ? Joyfully, nothing can transform Timeless Love. Thank You God!
