Question: What is Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the issues that come to the mind, even if they seem “fairly peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to create the misperception called pain.
What does this mean in relation to the second problem? You can’t kill what’s never lived, and All pictures were built to obscure the Truth from understanding, and they are able to just be understood as one illusion. If illusions could be split up into residing and useless, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossible a course in miracles .
For what is Enlightenment but Natural Oneness, far beyond the likelihood of division of any sort? The split brain was the illusion. Find never to challenge the split brain to forms and call some forms living and some forms dead. Lord knows perhaps not form. The separate mind was the “killer” impression, the Holy Soul tells the asleep mind that what’s whole and unified can never BE split.
In Heaven Brain is One Soul, and actually pertaining to this world forgiveness shows this Oneness. The forgiven earth acknowledges the unity of the recovered mind and considers that there surely is nothing “outside” of this simple mind which dreams softly a happy, delicate dream. The goal of ACIM would be to desire softly of a sinless world. That purpose is a lot more than probable, it’s expected!
