Thanks for wondering the issues that come to the mind, even if they seem “rather peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all observed pain has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness looked to make the misperception named pain.
Pain was the impression that Christ could leave a Loving Creator’s Mind. “If suffering is actual there is number God. If Lord is actual there’s number pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true because acim God doesn’t have opposite. Enlightenment entails number pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Real, Constant Pleasure, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment knows maybe not of change. The impression of weakness and fluctuating emotions went as well. There is no confidence to drop “straight back into.” Soul Abides in delicate Love. All pain is over Now and nothing remains but a blessing of Stillness.
The Holy Heart could be the reminder that Living is Eternal. The Present Moment could be the gateway to Eternity. The planet of pictures was an environment of illusion. Pictures are thus basic to the Holy Spirit. They were “neutralized” the immediate they seemed to arise.
What does that mean in terms of your second problem? You can’t kill what’s never existed, and in the Sacred Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness hurt is impossible. Bodies were never created and never die because the world of images is the past. It’s impossible to locate beginnings and endings in a script that’s already prepared and around extended ago. There’s no living in images. This is the meaning of “Hold number graven images before the Master Thy God.” All images were designed to unknown the Truth from consciousness, and they could only be forgiven as one illusion. If illusions might be divided up into living and useless, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment would be impossible. For what’s Enlightenment but Natural Oneness, far beyond the chance of division of all kinds? The split mind was the illusion. Seek to not project the separate mind to forms and contact some types alive and some types dead. Lord understands maybe not form. The separate mind seemed to be the “killer” illusion, yet the Holy Soul tells the resting brain that what is full and single cannot BE split. In Paradise Mind is One Soul, and even regarding this earth forgiveness reflects that Oneness. The forgiven world understands the unity of the relieved brain and sees that there is nothing “outside” with this simple mind which desires gently a happy, light dream. The target of ACIM is always to desire lightly of a sinless world. This goal is a lot more than probable, it’s certain!
In terms of my seeming diet, “consume what’s served” could be the Guidance I was handed from the Holy Heart many years ago. Join together with your brother and allow number concept come involving the Love you share. That Advice has not changed. “Dinner” is obviously a foundation for sharing the Joy of the Living Moment. What the planet calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are very the same in the Enlightened State. The Healed Perspective sees the sameness of everything because each of them share the exact same Purpose: forgiveness. This Perception isn’t “particular,” for in single belief nothing is personal. Lord isn’t any respecter of persons. I actually cannot “take” an animal’s “life” since Living is Spirit and can only be lengthy or Provided as Lord Gives. “Take” does not have any indicating in my mind and since creatures have never “lived” it is impossible that they could “die.” The belief expressed in the thought “professionally get an animal’s life” has many underlying assumptions that are false. In right-mindedness it is evident that ideas are strengthened as they are provided out or shared, and “taking” a “life” or anything more does not have any meaning. All that I give is directed at mySelf, and in offering there is number reduction, number lose, and nothing is actually recinded from wholeness and unity. The teacher of Lord does not want something that cannot be provided away. Such could be the Pleasure of wonders! The idea seeds be seemingly flung every where, yet there is never a glance back again to see where in actuality the seeds land. The vegetables are never for an “other,” and since providing and receiving are the exact same your brain gets the gifts it gives. That is really the party you find for within the ego’s questions.
The only problem that need be requested is just a question that’s not really foolish at all: Am I ready to know that God’s Can and My Own will be the Same? God’s May for Me is for Ideal Happiness. And what but this Will may be the Can of Christ? Happily, nothing can change Endless Love. Thank You Lord!
