Problem: What is Enlightenment?
Thanks for wondering the issues that can come to your mind, even when they appear “fairly peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to produce the misperception called pain.
What does this suggest in terms of your second issue? You cannot kill what’s never lived, and All images were built to obscure the Reality from awareness, and they are able to only be forgiven as one illusion. If illusions could be split up into residing and lifeless, normal and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossibl eckharttolle a course in miracles .
For what is Enlightenment but Genuine Oneness, far beyond the likelihood of department of any sort? The separate mind was the illusion. Seek not to project the split mind to types and call some forms alive and some types dead. God understands maybe not form. The separate mind seemed to be the “killer” impression, the Holy Spirit tells the asleep brain that what is whole and single cannot BE split.
In Heaven Brain is One Heart, and even regarding this earth forgiveness reflects that Oneness. The forgiven earth identifies the unity of the relieved brain and sees that there surely is nothing “outside” of this simple mind which dreams gently a pleased, mild dream. The goal of ACIM is always to desire softly of a sinless world. This purpose is more than probable, it is expected!
