What is Enlightenment? The teachings of A Course In Mircles

Question: What’s Enlightenment?

Thank you for asking the questions that can to your mind, regardless of whether they seem “rather peculiar” for you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has vanished, for but wrong-mindedness appeared to create the misperception called pain.

Pain was the illusion that Christ could leave a Loving Creator’s Mind. “If pain is real there is absolutely no God. If God is real there’s no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true because God does not have any opposite. Enlightenment entails pain free 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 adjusted at the same time. There’s no ego to fall “back into.” Spirit Abides in gentle Love. All pain ends Now and nothing remains however a blessing of Stillness.


The Holy Spirit will be the reminder that Life is Eternal. The current Moment may be the gateway to Eternity. The world of images was a whole world of illusion. Images are therefore neutral for the Holy Spirit. These were “neutralized” when they seemed to arise.

What does this mean with regards to your next question? You are unable to kill what’s never lived, plus the Holy Spirit’s Perspective of forgiveness harm is not possible. Bodies were never born and not die because the realm of images could be the past. It can be impossible to locate beginnings and endings in a script that is already written and over long ago. There isn’t any life in images. This can be the specification of “Hold no graven images before the Lord Thy God.” All images were created to obscure reality from awareness, and they can only be forgiven as one illusion. If illusions may be divided up into living and dead, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment will be impossible. For is Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, beyond the opportunity 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 several forms dead. God knows not form. The split mind appeared to be the “killer” illusion, but the Holy Spirit reminds the sleeping mind that what is whole and unified can never BE split. In Heaven System is One Spirit, and in many cases regarding our planet forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The forgiven world recognizes the unity with the healed mind and is aware that there is nothing “outside” with this single mind which dreams softly a happy, gentle dream. The purpose of ACIM is to dream softly of an sinless world. This goal is a lot more than possible, it really is inevitable!

As for my seeming diet, “eat what’s served” could be the Guidance I used to be given from the Holy Spirit in the past. Join along with your brother and let no concept come between the Love you share. This Guidance have not changed. “Dinner” is usually a backdrop for sharing the Joy of the Living Moment. Exactly what the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are really all the same in the Enlightened State. The Healed Perspective sees the sameness of the things simply because they all share the same Purpose: forgiveness. This Perspective isn’t “personal,” for in unified perception there is nothing personal. God isn’t respecter of persons. I literally cannot “take” an animal’s “life” because Life is Spirit and will only be extended or Given as God Gives. “Take” doesn’t have meaning in my mind and also since animals have never “lived” it is impossible that they can could “die.” The concept expressed within the thought “personally take an animal’s life” has lots of underlying assumptions that are false. In right-mindedness there isn’t any doubt that ideas are strengthened as they are distributed for free or shared, and “taking” a “life” or something more doesn’t have meaning. Everything I give emerged to mySelf, and in giving there’s no loss, no sacrifice, and absolutely nothing is ever taken away from wholeness and unity. The teacher of God does not want something that can’t be distributed. Such will be the Joy of miracles! Prospect seeds are flung everywhere, yet there’s never even a glance back to see in which the seeds land. The seeds should never be to have an “other,” as well as giving and receiving are the same the mind receives the gifts it offers. This is in truth the feast you look for underneath the ego’s questions.

The only question that require be asked is really a question that isn’t really silly in any way: Shall we be held prepared to realize that God’s Will and My Own are the Same? God’s Will for Me is good for Perfect Happiness. And what however this Will will be the Will of Christ? Happily, nothing can adjust Eternal Love. Thanks a lot God!
