Thanks for asking the questions that come to the mind, even if they appear “fairly peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all observed suffering has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to make the misperception named pain.
Pain was the dream 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 is true since God does not have any opposite. Enlightenment entails no suffering or displeasure about a course in miracles ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Genuine, Constant Happiness, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Continuous, Enlightenment knows perhaps not of change. The impression of vulnerability and fluctuating feelings went as well. There is no ego to fall “back into.” Heart Abides in light Love. All pain has ended Today and nothing remains but an advantage of Stillness.
The Sacred Soul is the memory that Living is Eternal. The Present Moment is the gateway to Eternity. The world of photos was an environment of illusion. Images are therefore natural to the Holy Spirit. They certainly were “neutralized” the immediate they seemed to arise.
What does this mean in terms of your second problem? You cannot destroy what’s never lived, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perception of forgiveness hurt is impossible. Bodies were never born and never die because the world of photographs is the past. It is difficult to find beginnings and endings in a software that is already prepared and over extended ago. There is no life in images. Here is the indicating of “Maintain no graven pictures prior to the Master Thy God.” All pictures were made to hidden the Reality from recognition, and they are able to only be understood together illusion. If illusions could possibly be separated up in to living and lifeless, normal and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Real Oneness, much beyond the possibility of division of any sort? The separate mind was the illusion. Find not to project the split mind to forms and contact some forms alive and some types dead. God understands perhaps not form. The split mind seemed to be the “killer” illusion, the Sacred Nature reminds the resting mind that what’s full and specific can never BE split. In Heaven Mind is One Nature, and actually pertaining to that earth forgiveness reflects that Oneness. The forgiven earth identifies the unity of the recovered brain and considers that there is nothing “outside” with this simple mind which dreams gently a pleased, light dream. The target of ACIM is to dream softly of a sinless world. That aim is a lot more than probable, it’s inevitable!
As for my seeming diet, “consume what is served” could be the Advice I was handed from the Holy Soul a long time ago. Join together with your brother and allow no idea come involving the Enjoy you share. This Advice has not changed. “Dinner” is definitely a foundation for discussing 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 Relieved Perspective considers the sameness of everything because all of them reveal exactly the same Function: forgiveness. This Perception is not “personal,” for in unified notion nothing is personal. Lord is no respecter of persons. I virtually cannot “take” an animal’s “life” because Living is Soul and can only be lengthy or Provided as Lord Gives. “Take” does not have any meaning within my mind and because animals have never “lived” it is impossible that they might “die.” The belief expressed in thinking “personally get an animal’s life” has many underlying assumptions which can be false. In right-mindedness it’s obvious that some ideas are heightened as they are provided away or provided, and “taking” a “life” or some thing has no meaning. All that I give is fond of mySelf, and in offering there is no reduction, number lose, and nothing is actually recinded from wholeness and unity. The instructor of Lord does not need anything that cannot be given away. Such could be the Delight of miracles! The idea vegetables seem to be flung every-where, yet there’s never a glance back once again to see where in actuality the seeds land. The vegetables are never for an “other,” and because providing and receiving are the same the mind gets the gifts it gives. This is truly the party you seek for beneath the ego’s questions.
The only question that need be requested is really a issue that’s certainly not silly at all: Am I prepared to learn that God’s Will and My Own are the Same? God’s May for Me is for Ideal Happiness. And what but that Will could be the Can of Christ? Fortunately, nothing can change Eternal Love. Thank You Lord!
