Thanks for asking the questions that come to your brain, even when they seem “rather peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to create 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 Lord is real there is number pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true a course in miracles because Lord has no opposite. Enlightenment entails no pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Constant Happiness, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Regular, Enlightenment understands not of change. The dream of susceptibility and varying emotions went as well. There’s no ego to drop “right back into.” Spirit Abides in gentle Love. All suffering is over Today and nothing remains but a blessing of Stillness.
The Sacred Spirit is the reminder that Living is Eternal. The Present Time is the gate way to Eternity. The world of images was a full world of illusion. Photos are therefore simple to the Holy Spirit. They certainly were “neutralized” the immediate they appeared to arise.
What does this mean in terms of the second issue? You cannot kill what’s never existed, and in the Sacred Spirit’s Perception of forgiveness damage is impossible. Figures were never born and never die since the planet of pictures is the past. It is impossible to find beginnings and endings in a program that’s presently written and over long ago. There is number life in images. Here is the meaning of “Hold no graven photos prior to the Master Thy God.” All pictures were made to obscure the Truth from recognition, and they can only be forgiven together illusion. If illusions might be separated up into living and lifeless, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment would be impossible. For what’s Enlightenment but Genuine Oneness, much beyond the chance of department of all kinds? The split mind was the illusion. Seek to not task the separate mind to types and call some forms alive and some types dead. God knows perhaps not form. The split mind seemed to be the “killer” dream, yet the Sacred Heart tells the sleeping mind that what is whole and good cannot BE split. In Paradise Mind is One Spirit, and also regarding this world forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The understood earth recognizes the unity of the recovered mind and sees that there surely is nothing “outside” of the single mind which desires gently a pleased, delicate dream. The goal of ACIM would be to desire softly of a sinless world. This aim is significantly more than probable, it is expected!
As for my seeming diet, “consume what is served” may be the Advice I was handed from the Holy Spirit several years ago. Join along with your brother and allow no idea come involving the Enjoy you share. This Advice has not changed. “Dinner” is obviously a background for sharing the Joy of the Living Moment. What the world calls “breathing” and “eating” and “drinking” and “sleeping” are really yet in the Enlightened State. The Relieved Perspective considers the sameness of all things because all of them reveal the same Function: forgiveness. That Perspective isn’t “personal,” for in specific belief nothing is personal. Lord is no respecter of persons. I virtually can not “take” an animal’s “life” because Life is Heart and can only just be expanded or Provided as Lord Gives. “Take” doesn’t have meaning in my own mind and since animals have not “lived” it’s impossible that they could “die.” The opinion expressed in thinking “individually take an animal’s life” has several underlying assumptions which are false. In right-mindedness it is obvious that a few ideas are strengthened since they are given out or shared, and “taking” a “life” or anything at all does not have any meaning. All that I give is given to mySelf, and in giving there’s no loss, no sacrifice, and nothing is actually removed from wholeness and unity. The instructor of God does not need something that can not be provided away. Such could be the Joy of wonders! The thought seeds seem to be flung every where, yet there’s never a view back again to see where in fact the seeds land. The seeds are never for an “different,” and because offering and getting are exactly the same your brain gets the presents it gives. This really is really the party you seek for underneath the ego’s questions.
The only question that want be asked is really a problem that’s not really silly at all: Am I prepared to know that God’s May and My Possess will be the Same? God’s Will for Me is for Ideal Happiness. And what but that May could be the May of Christ? Fortunately, nothing can alter Eternal Love. Thank You Lord!
