What is Enlightenment? The teachings of Brian Hoffmeister and ACIM

Question: What is Enlightenment?

Thanks for wondering the questions which come to the mind, even if they appear “somewhat peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived suffering has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to produce the misperception called pain.

Pain was the illusion that Christ could leave a Warm Creator’s Mind. “If suffering is true there is no God. If God is real there is no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true because God doesn’t have opposite. Enlightenment entails no suffering or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Real, Continuous Pleasure, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Continuous, Enlightenment understands perhaps not of change. The illusion of susceptibility and fluctuating feelings went as well. There is number ego to fall “straight back into.” Spirit Abides in soft Love. All suffering is over Today and nothing remains but a benefit of Stillness.

The Sacred Spirit may be the reminder that Life is Eternal. The Present Time is the gateway to Eternity. The planet of pictures was an environment of illusion. Images are thus natural to the Sacred Spirit. These were “neutralized” the instant they did actually arise acim.

What does that suggest in relation to your second issue? You can’t eliminate what’s never lived, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perception of forgiveness harm is impossible. Figures were never created and never die since the planet of photos is the past. It is impossible to find origins and endings in a script that is presently published and over long ago. There’s no living in images. This is actually the meaning of “Maintain no graven images before the Master Thy God.” All photographs were designed to obscure the Truth from awareness, and they can just be forgiven as one illusion. If illusions could be split up in to living and dead, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment would be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, much beyond the likelihood of section of all kinds? The split brain was the illusion. Find never to project the split mind to types and contact some types living and some types dead. Lord knows not form. The separate mind was the “killer” impression, yet the Holy Nature tells the asleep mind that what is whole and good cannot BE split. In Paradise Mind is One Nature, and also regarding that earth forgiveness reflects that Oneness. The understood earth understands the unity of the relieved brain and sees that there’s nothing “outside” with this single mind which dreams gently a happy, mild dream. The goal of ACIM is to dream softly of a sinless world. This goal is significantly more than possible, it is certain!

As for my seeming diet, “eat what is served” may be the Guidance I was handed from the Holy Heart several years ago. Join along with your brother and let number notion come between the Enjoy you share. That Guidance has not changed. “Dinner” is always a backdrop for discussing the Pleasure of the Living Moment. What the entire world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are very yet in the Enlightened State. The Recovered Perception considers the sameness of things since each of them share the exact same Function: forgiveness. That Perception is not “personal,” for in specific understanding nothing is personal. Lord is no respecter of persons. I literally can not “take” an animal’s “life” because Living is Soul and can only be prolonged or Provided as God Gives. “Take” has no indicating within my brain and since creatures have not “lived” it is difficult that they could “die.” The belief stated in thinking “personally take an animal’s life” has several underlying assumptions that are false. In right-mindedness it is evident that a few ideas are increased since they are given away or shared, and “taking” a “life” or anything at all has no meaning. All that I give is given to mySelf, and in providing there is no reduction, no compromise, and nothing is actually recinded from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God does not need anything that can not be given away. Such may be the Joy of wonders! The idea seeds appear to be flung everywhere, yet there’s never a view back again to see where in fact the vegetables land. The seeds are never for an “different,” and since offering and getting are the exact same your head gets the gifts it gives. That is truly the food you find for beneath the ego’s questions.

The sole issue that need be asked is a question that’s certainly not absurd at all: Am I prepared to learn that God’s Will and My Possess would be the Same? God’s Can for Me is for Ideal Happiness. And what but that Will could be the Will of Christ? Cheerfully, nothing can transform Eternal Love. Thank You Lord!
