What is Enlightenment? The teachings of A Program In Wonders
What's Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the questions that come to your mind, even if they appear “rather peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived suffering has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness looked to create the misperception named pain.
Pain was the illusion that Christ could keep a Supportive Creator's Mind. “If pain is true there is no God. If God is real there is no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true because God has no opposite. Enlightenmenteckhart tolle a course in miracles entails no pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Natural, Continuous Happiness, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Regular, Enlightenment knows not of change. The illusion of vulnerability and changing feelings went as well. There is no ego to drop “back into.” Spirit Abides in light Love. All pain has ended Today and nothing stays but a benefit of Stillness.
The Holy Spirit is the note that Living is Eternal. The Present Moment is the gate way to Eternity. The world of pictures was a full world of illusion. Photographs are therefore basic to the Sacred Spirit. These were “neutralized” the quick they did actually arise.
What does this suggest in terms of the second question? You cannot eliminate what has never existed, and in the Holy Spirit's Perspective of forgiveness harm is impossible. Figures were never created and never die because the entire world of images may be the past. It's difficult to find origins and endings in a script that is previously published and over long ago. There's number living in images. Here is the meaning of “Maintain no graven images prior to the Lord Thy God.” All images were built to hidden the Truth from consciousness, and they could only be forgiven as one illusion. If illusions could possibly be divided up in to residing and useless, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, much beyond the chance of section of any kind? The separate mind was the illusion. Find not to task the separate brain to types and call some types alive and some types dead. Lord understands maybe not form. The split mind was the “killer” illusion, yet the Sacred Heart tells the asleep mind that what is full and unified can never BE split. In Heaven Brain is One Soul, and actually pertaining to that earth forgiveness shows this Oneness. The understood world realizes the unity of the relieved brain and sees that there's nothing “outside” with this simple brain which dreams gently a happy, light dream. The goal of ACIM is to desire gently of a sinless world. That purpose is a lot more than probable, it's certain!
As for my seeming diet, “consume what's served” may be the Advice I was presented with from the Holy Nature a long time ago. Join with your brother and let number idea come involving the Love you share. This Guidance has not changed. “Dinner” is obviously a backdrop for discussing the Delight of the Residing Moment. What the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are actually yet in the Enlightened State. The Relieved Perspective sees the sameness of everything since each of them share the same Function: forgiveness. This Perspective isn't “particular,” for in good understanding nothing is personal. Lord is not any respecter of persons. I practically cannot “take” an animal's “life” because Living is Spirit and can only be lengthy or Provided as God Gives. “Take” has no indicating in my own mind and because creatures have not “lived” it's difficult that they may “die.” The belief expressed in the idea “privately take an animal's life” has many underlying assumptions that are false. In right-mindedness it is apparent that a few ideas are increased because they are provided out 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 giving there is no reduction, number sacrifice, and nothing is actually taken away from wholeness and unity. The instructor of Lord does not want something that can not be given away. Such is the Delight of wonders! The thought vegetables appear to be flung every where, however there is never a good view back to see where in actuality the seeds land. The seeds are never for an “other,” and because providing and receiving are the exact same your head gets the gifts it gives. This is truly the feast you seek for beneath the ego's questions.
The sole problem that require be asked is just a problem that is not necessarily silly at all: Am I ready to understand that God's May and My Own would be the Same? God's Will for Me is for Ideal Happiness. And what but that Will could be the May of Christ? Joyfully, nothing can change Eternal Love. Thank You Lord!
