What is Enlightenment? The teachings of David Hoffmeister and ACIM

Thanks for wondering the issues that can come to your mind, even when they appear "rather peculiar" to you. In Enlightenment all observed pain has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness felt to make the misperception called pain.

Pain was the dream that Christ could leave a Caring Creator's Mind. "If suffering is true there's no God. If God is actual there is no pain."(W-190.3) The latter is true because Lord doesn't have opposite. Enlightenment entails no suffering or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Constant Pleasure, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment understands not of change. The dream of susceptibility and fluctuating acim thoughts has gone as well. There is no confidence to fall "straight back into." Nature Abides in gentle Love. All suffering is over Today and nothing remains but a benefit of Stillness.

The Holy Soul may be the reminder that Living is Eternal. The Present Moment is the gate way to Eternity. The world of photographs was a full world of illusion. Images are therefore natural to the Sacred Spirit. They certainly were "neutralized" the instant they did actually arise.

What does that mean in terms of your next issue? You cannot kill what's never existed, and in the Holy Spirit's Perspective of forgiveness hurt is impossible. Figures were never created and never die because the planet of photos could be the past. It is difficult to find beginnings and endings in a script that's previously prepared and over extended ago. There is number living in images. Here is the indicating of "Hold no graven photos ahead of the Lord Thy God." All photographs were designed to obscure the Reality from consciousness, and they are able to just be understood as you illusion. If illusions might be divided up in to living and dead, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment would be impossible. For what's Enlightenment but Genuine Oneness, far beyond the likelihood of team of any sort? The separate mind was the illusion. Seek never to task the split mind to types and contact some types living and some types dead. Lord understands perhaps not form. The split brain was the "killer" illusion, the Sacred Soul reminds the resting mind that what's full and single can never BE split. In Heaven Mind is One Soul, and also regarding this world forgiveness shows this Oneness. The understood earth acknowledges the unity of the healed mind and sees that there is nothing "outside" with this single brain which desires softly a pleased, soft dream. The target of ACIM is always to desire gently of a sinless world. That aim is more than possible, it is inevitable!

As for my seeming diet, "consume what is served" may be the Guidance I was given from the Sacred Soul many years ago. Join along with your brother and allow number concept come involving the Enjoy you share. This Advice has not changed. "Dinner" is obviously a foundation for sharing the Delight of the Residing Moment. What the world calls "breathing" and "eating" and "drinking" and "sleeping" are very all the same in the Enlightened State. The Recovered Perspective sees the sameness of things since all of them reveal the exact same Purpose: forgiveness. This Perspective is not "particular," for in single understanding nothing is personal. Lord is not any respecter of persons. I virtually 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 indicating in my mind and because creatures haven't "lived" it's difficult that they may "die." The opinion expressed in the thought "professionally get an animal's life" has several underlying assumptions which can be false. In right-mindedness it's clear that a few ideas are strengthened since they are provided away or distributed, and "taking" a "life" or anything more does not have any meaning. All that I provide is fond of mySelf, and in giving there is no reduction, no compromise, and nothing is ever removed from wholeness and unity. The instructor of Lord does not need whatever can not be given away. Such is the Delight of miracles! The idea seeds appear to be flung every-where, yet there's never a good glance back to see where in actuality the seeds land. The seeds are never for an "different," and since offering and obtaining are the exact same the mind receives the presents it gives. This really is really the food you find for underneath the ego's questions.

The only real issue that require be requested is a problem that's not really foolish at all: Am I ready to know that God's Can and My Possess will be the Same? God's Will for Me is for Ideal Happiness. And what but this May may be the Will of Christ? Happily, nothing can alter Timeless Love. Thank You Lord!
