What is Enlightenment? The teachings of A Course In Mircles

Question: What’s Enlightenment?

Thank you for asking the questions which come to your mind, even though they appear “rather peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has gone, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to make the misperception called pain.

Pain was the illusion that Christ could leave a Loving Creator’s Mind. “If pain is real there’s no God. If God is real there’s no pain.”(W-190.3) Aforementioned applies because God does not have any opposite. Enlightenment entails no pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Constant Happiness, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment knows not of change. The illusion of vulnerability and fluctuating emotions moved also. There is no ego to fall “back into.” Spirit Abides in gentle Love. All pain is over Now and absolutely nothing remains but a blessing of Stillness.


The Holy Spirit may be the reminder that Life is Eternal. The actual Moment could be the gateway to Eternity. The concept of images was a whole world of illusion. Images are therefore neutral to the Holy Spirit. They were “neutralized” the moment they gave the impression to arise.

What does this suggest regarding your second question? You are unable to kill what’s never lived, and in the Holy Spirit’s Outlook during forgiveness harm doesn’t seem possible. Bodies were never born and don’t die as the world of images will be the past. It is impossible to locate beginnings and endings in a script that’s already written well as over way back when. There is absolutely no life in images. Here is the concept of “Hold no graven images ahead of the Lord Thy God.” All images were made to obscure the Truth from awareness, and they also can only be forgiven as you illusion. If illusions could possibly be divided up into living and dead, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment can be impossible. For what is Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, far beyond the possibility of division of any kind? The split mind was the illusion. Seek to never project the split mind to forms and call some forms alive and a few forms dead. God knows not form. The split mind was the “killer” illusion, yet the Holy Spirit reminds the sleeping mind that what exactly is whole and unified cannot BE split. In Heaven Mind is One Spirit, and even with regard to life forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The forgiven world recognizes the unity with the healed mind and sees that nothing is “outside” of this single mind which dreams softly a contented, gentle dream. The objective of ACIM is to dream softly of your sinless world. This goal is a lot more than possible, it’s inevitable!

In terms of my seeming diet, “eat what exactly is served” may be the Guidance I became given in the Holy Spirit long ago. Join with your brother and let no concept come between your Love you share. This Guidance has not changed. “Dinner” is obviously a backdrop for sharing the Joy of the Living Moment. What are the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are very the same from the Enlightened State. The Healed Perspective sees the sameness of the things since they all share the identical Purpose: forgiveness. This angle just isn’t “personal,” for in unified perception there’s nothing personal. God is not any respecter of persons. I literally cannot “take” an animal’s “life” because Our life is Spirit and will only be extended or Given as God Gives. “Take” has no meaning over the internet and also, since animals haven’t ever “lived” it is impossible that they could “die.” The idea expressed inside the thought “personally take an animal’s life” has lots of underlying assumptions that are false. In right-mindedness there’s no question that ideas are strengthened since they are given away for free or shared, and “taking” a “life” or something more doesn’t have meaning. Everything I give emerges to mySelf, and in giving there is no loss, no sacrifice, and absolutely nothing is ever removed from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God won’t want anything that can not be distributed. Such may be the Joy of miracles! Prospect seeds seem to be flung everywhere, yet there is never a glance time for see the place that the seeds land. The seeds are never on an “other,” and since giving and receiving are the same the mind receives the gifts it offers a superior. This is truly the feast you seek for under the ego’s questions.

The only real question which need get asked is often a question that’s not really silly in any respect: Are we prepared to are aware that God’s Will and My personal are similar? God’s Will to me is good for Perfect Happiness. And what however Will will be the Will of Christ? Happily, nothing can change Eternal Love. Thanks a lot God!
