Thanks for asking the issues which come to the mind, even if they seem "rather peculiar" to you. In Enlightenment all perceived suffering has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness looked to produce the misperception called pain.

Pain was the impression that Christ can keep a Caring Creator's Mind. "If pain is true there is number God. If Lord is actual there's no pain."(W-190.3) The latter holds true because Lord has no opposite. Enlightenment entails no pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Genuine, Regular Happiness, Peace, Flexibility, and Joy. Being Regular, Enlightenment acim  understands perhaps not of change. The illusion of susceptibility and changing thoughts has gone as well. There is no ego to drop "straight back into." Spirit Abides in gentle Love. All suffering has ended Now and nothing stays but a benefit of Stillness.

The Holy Nature is the memory that Living is Eternal. The Present Time may be the gateway to Eternity. The planet of images was a full world of illusion. Pictures are thus basic to the Holy Spirit. They certainly were "neutralized" the immediate they seemed to arise.

What does that mean with regards to the second problem? You cannot kill what has never lived, and in the Holy Spirit's Perception of forgiveness damage is impossible. Bodies were never created and never die since the world of images is the past. It's impossible to find origins and endings in a software that's currently written and around extended ago.

There is no living in images. This is actually the indicating of "Maintain number graven photographs prior to the Master Thy God." All images were built to obscure the Reality from attention, and they can just be understood as one illusion. If illusions might be split up into residing and lifeless, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossible. For what's Enlightenment but Natural Oneness, much beyond the chance of team of any kind? The separate brain was the illusion. Seek never to task

the split mind to forms and contact some types living and some types dead. God understands perhaps not form. The split mind appeared to be the "killer" illusion, the Sacred Spirit reminds the sleeping brain that what's full and unified can never BE split. In Heaven Mind is One Spirit, and also pertaining to that world forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The understood earth acknowledges the unity of the relieved brain and sees that there surely is nothing "outside" of the simple brain which desires lightly a happy, light dream. The goal of ACIM would be to dream lightly of a sinless world. That purpose is significantly more than possible, it is certain!

As for my appearing diet, "consume what's served" may be the Guidance I was handed from the Holy Spirit a long time ago. Join along with your brother and let number notion come involving the Love you share. This Guidance hasn't changed. "Dinner" is definitely a backdrop for sharing the Delight of the Residing Moment. What the entire world calls "breathing" and "eating" and "drinking" and "sleeping" are actually the same in the Enlightened State. The Healed Perception considers the sameness of everything because each of them share exactly the same Function: forgiveness. This Perception is not "personal," for in single understanding nothing is personal. God is not any respecter of persons. I actually can not "take" an animal's "life" because Living is Nature and can only just be extensive or Provided as God Gives. "Take" does not have any indicating in my own mind and since creatures have never "lived" it is difficult that they might "die." The opinion expressed in the thought "personally take an animal's life" has several underlying assumptions which are false. In right-mindedness it is obvious that a few ideas are strengthened as they are provided away or shared, and "taking" a "life" or anything at all has no meaning. All that I give is directed at mySelf, and in giving there's number reduction, no sacrifice, and nothing is ever removed from wholeness and unity. The teacher of Lord does not want whatever can't be given away. Such is the Joy of wonders! The thought seeds be seemingly flung everywhere, however there's never even a glance back once again to see where in fact the vegetables land. The vegetables are never for an "other," and since offering and receiving are the exact same the mind gets the gifts it gives. That is really the feast you find for within the ego's questions.

The only problem that require be asked is just a question that is certainly not silly at all: Am I ready to understand that God's Can and My Own are the Same? God's Can for Me is for Great Happiness. And what but that Will could be the Can of Christ? Fortunately, nothing may change Eternal Love. Thank You Lord!
