Thanks for wondering the issues that can come to your mind, even though they appear “rather peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all observed pain has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness felt to create the misperception called pain.
Suffering was the illusion that Christ could keep a Caring Creator’s Mind. “If suffering is real there’s no God. If God is actual there is number pain.”(W-190.3) The latter holds true because Lord doesn’t have opposite. Enlightenment entails no pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, acim Enlightenment is Genuine, Continuous Happiness, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Continuous, Enlightenment knows perhaps not of change. The illusion of vulnerability and fluctuating thoughts went as well. There is no vanity to drop “right back into.” Soul Abides in delicate Love. All pain has ended Today and nothing remains but a blessing of Stillness.
The Holy Spirit may be the note that Life is Eternal. The Present Moment may be the gateway to Eternity. The planet of photos was a world of illusion. Images are therefore simple to the Holy Spirit. These were “neutralized” the instant they did actually arise.
What does this mean in relation to your second problem? You cannot kill what has never lived, and in the Holy Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness damage is impossible. Bodies were never born and never die because the planet of images is the past. It’s impossible to get origins and endings in a software that is presently prepared and around extended ago. There’s number living in images. This is actually the meaning of “Maintain number graven photos prior to the Lord Thy God.” All images were built to hidden the Reality from recognition, and they can just be understood as you illusion. If illusions might 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, far beyond the possibility of division of any sort? The split brain was the illusion. Seek not to task the separate brain to types and call some types alive and some forms dead. Lord understands perhaps not form. The separate mind seemed to be the “killer” impression, the Sacred Nature tells the resting mind that what’s full and specific cannot BE split. In Heaven Mind is One Nature, and actually pertaining to that earth forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The forgiven earth acknowledges the unity of the healed brain and considers that there surely is nothing “outside” with this single brain which dreams lightly a pleased, soft dream. The target of ACIM is to dream gently of a sinless world. This aim is more than probable, it is expected!
As for my appearing diet, “consume what’s served” may be the Guidance I was handed from the Sacred Soul a long time ago. Join together with your brother and let number notion come involving the Enjoy you share. This Guidance hasn’t changed. “Dinner” is obviously a backdrop for discussing the Delight of the Residing Moment. What the planet calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are very yet in the Enlightened State. The Recovered Perception sees the sameness of things since all of them share exactly the same Function: forgiveness. This Perception is not “personal,” for in good perception nothing is personal. God isn’t any respecter of persons. I virtually can not “take” an animal’s “life” since Life is Soul and can only be extensive or Provided as God Gives. “Take” doesn’t have indicating in my own mind and since creatures have never “lived” it’s impossible that they might “die.” The opinion stated in the thought “privately take an animal’s life” has many main assumptions which are false. In right-mindedness it’s evident that ideas are increased since they are provided away or discussed, and “taking” a “life” or some thing has no meaning. All that I provide is fond of mySelf, and in giving there’s number reduction, no sacrifice, and nothing is ever taken away from wholeness and unity. The instructor of God does not want whatever can’t be provided away. Such may be the Delight of wonders! The idea vegetables be seemingly flung everywhere, however there is never even a view back to see where the seeds land. The vegetables are never for an “other,” and since giving and receiving are the same your brain receives the gifts it gives. This is really the feast you find for within the ego’s questions.
The sole question that want be asked is just a question that is not necessarily foolish at all: Am I prepared to know that God’s Can and My Possess will be the Same? God’s Will for Me is for Perfect Happiness. And what but that May could be the Will of Christ? Happily, nothing may change Timeless Love. Thank You Lord!
