What’s Enlightenment? The teachings of David Hoffmeister and ACIM
Problem: What’s Enlightenment?
Thanks for wondering the issues which come to the mind, even though they seem “fairly peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to create the misperception called pain.
Suffering was the dream that Christ can leave a Warm Creator’s Mind. “If suffering is actual there is no God. If Lord is real there is no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter does work since Lord doesn’t have opposite. Enlightenment entails number suffering or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Genuine, Continuous Happiness, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Regular, Enlightenment knows not of change. The dream of susceptibility and fluctuating emotions moved as well. There is no confidence to fall “back into.” Spirit Abides in mild Love. All suffering is finished Today and nothing stays but a benefit of Stillness acim.
The Sacred Heart could be the note that Living is Eternal. The Provide Moment may be the gateway to Eternity. The world of pictures was a world of illusion. Photos are therefore natural to the Holy Spirit. These were “neutralized” the quick they seemed to arise.
What does this suggest in terms of your next issue? You cannot destroy what has never existed, and in the Sacred Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness harm is impossible. Bodies were never created and never die since the entire world of pictures may be the past. It’s impossible to locate beginnings and endings in a script that’s previously written and over extended ago. There is number life in images. This is the indicating of “Maintain number graven photographs ahead of the Master Thy God.” All photographs were designed to hidden the Truth from attention, and they can only be understood as one illusion. If illusions could possibly be split up into living and dead, normal and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment would be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Genuine Oneness, far beyond the likelihood of division of any sort? The separate mind was the illusion. Seek never to challenge the split mind to types and call some types living and some forms dead. God knows maybe not form. The split brain appeared to be the “killer” impression, the Sacred Soul reminds the sleeping brain that what’s full and single cannot BE split. In Heaven Mind is One Nature, and even with regard to that earth forgiveness reflects that Oneness. The forgiven earth recognizes the unity of the healed mind and considers that there is nothing “outside” with this simple mind which dreams lightly a happy, mild dream. The goal of ACIM would be to desire softly of a sinless world. This aim is significantly more than possible, it is expected!
As for my seeming diet, “consume what is served” may be the Guidance I was handed from the Holy Nature a long time ago. Join together with your brother and allow no principle come between the Enjoy you share. That Guidance has not changed. “Dinner” is definitely a background for sharing the Joy of the Living Moment. What the planet calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are really the same in the Enlightened State. The Healed Perception sees the sameness of everything since all of them reveal the exact same Purpose: forgiveness. This Perception is not “particular,” for in unified perception nothing is personal. Lord is no respecter of persons. I actually can not “take” an animal’s “life” because Living is Nature and can only be expanded or Given as Lord Gives. “Take” does not have any meaning within my brain and because creatures have never “lived” it’s difficult that they could “die.” The opinion indicated in thinking “individually take an animal’s life” has several underlying assumptions which can be false. In right-mindedness it’s obvious that some ideas are strengthened as they are given away or discussed, and “taking” a “life” or anything more has no meaning. All that I give is fond of mySelf, and in giving there is number loss, number compromise, and nothing is ever recinded from wholeness and unity. The instructor of Lord does not need whatever can not be given away. Such is the Delight of wonders! The thought seeds appear to be flung every-where, yet there is never a glance back once again to see where in fact the vegetables land. The seeds are never for an “other,” and because offering and getting are exactly the same the mind receives the gifts it gives. This really is truly the feast you seek for underneath the ego’s questions.
The sole question that require be asked is just a problem that is not really silly at all: Am I prepared to understand that God’s Will and My Own are the Same? God’s Will for Me is for Great Happiness. And what but that Can is the Can of Christ? Happily, nothing can alter Endless Love. Thank You Lord!
