Thanks for asking the questions which come to the mind, even when they appear “fairly peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived suffering has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to make the misperception called pain.
Pain was the impression that Christ can leave a Warm Creator’s Mind. “If suffering is real there is no God. If God is actual there’s number pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true since God doesn’t have opposite. Enlightenment entails number suffering or displeasure about ANYTHING, a course in miracles for Enlightenment is Pure, Regular Happiness, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Regular, Enlightenment knows perhaps not of change. The illusion of weakness and fluctuating feelings moved as well. There is no confidence to fall “straight back into.” Nature Abides in light Love. All suffering has ended Today and nothing stays but a blessing of Stillness.
The Sacred Soul could be the memory that Life is Eternal. The Present Time may be the gateway to Eternity. The entire world of photographs was a world of illusion. Photographs are thus natural to the Holy Spirit. These were “neutralized” the instant they seemed to arise.
What does that mean in relation to the second issue? You cannot eliminate what has never lived, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perception of forgiveness harm is impossible. Figures were never born and never die since the entire world of photographs is the past. It is impossible to locate origins and endings in a software that is presently published and around long ago. There’s no living in images. This is the meaning of “Maintain no graven pictures prior to the Lord Thy God.” All photographs were made to unknown the Truth from awareness, and they could just be understood as one illusion. If illusions could be split up in to residing and lifeless, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossible. For what’s Enlightenment but Real Oneness, far beyond the chance of department of any kind? The split mind was the illusion. Seek never to task the split mind to forms and contact some forms living and some forms dead. God knows perhaps not form. The separate mind seemed to be the “killer” dream, yet the Holy Heart tells the sleeping brain that what is full and unified can never BE split. In Heaven Mind is One Nature, and actually with regard to that world forgiveness shows that Oneness. The forgiven earth understands the unity of the relieved mind and sees that there’s nothing “outside” of the single mind which desires softly a happy, light dream. The target of ACIM is always to desire lightly of a sinless world. This aim is significantly more than probable, it’s certain!
In terms of my seeming diet, “consume what’s served” may be the Advice I was handed from the Sacred Nature a long time ago. Join with your brother and allow no idea come involving the Love you share. That Guidance hasn’t changed. “Dinner” is definitely a history for sharing the Pleasure of the Living Moment. What the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are actually yet in the Enlightened State. The Healed Perception considers the sameness of all things since all of them reveal the same Purpose: forgiveness. That Perception is not “particular,” for in single understanding nothing is personal. God isn’t any respecter of persons. I literally can’t “take” an animal’s “life” because Life is Soul and can just only be extended or Given as God Gives. “Take” doesn’t have meaning in my mind and since animals have never “lived” it’s impossible that they might “die.” The opinion stated in the thought “individually take an animal’s life” has several main assumptions that are false. In right-mindedness it’s evident that ideas are strengthened because they are given out or discussed, and “taking” a “life” or anything at all does not have any meaning. All that I give is given to mySelf, and in offering there is no loss, number sacrifice, and nothing is ever removed from wholeness and unity. The teacher of Lord does not need something that can not be provided away. Such could be the Delight of wonders! The idea seeds be seemingly flung every-where, however there is never even a glance back again to see where the vegetables land. The seeds are never for an “other,” and since giving and getting are the same your head gets the presents it gives. That is truly the feast you seek for underneath the ego’s questions.
The only question that need be asked is a issue that is not necessarily silly at all: Am I ready to learn that God’s Can and My Own are the Same? God’s Will for Me is for Ideal Happiness. And what but this Can could be the May of Christ? Fortunately, nothing may change Eternal Love. Thank You God!
