Issue: What is Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the questions that come to your brain, even when they appear “rather 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 with regards to your next problem? You can’t eliminate what has never lived, and All photographs were made to obscure the Reality from awareness, and they can just be forgiven as one illusion. If illusions could be divided up into living and lifeless, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment would be impossible acim .
For what is Enlightenment but Natural Oneness, far beyond the likelihood of division of any sort? The separate mind was the illusion. Seek never to challenge the split mind to types and call some types alive and some forms dead. Lord knows not form. The split mind seemed to be the “killer” dream, yet the Sacred Nature reminds the sleeping brain that what’s full and single can never BE split.
In Heaven Brain is One Nature, and even pertaining to that earth forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The understood earth understands the unity of the relieved mind and sees that there surely is nothing “outside” with this simple mind which dreams gently a happy, gentle dream. The target of ACIM is always to desire lightly of a sinless world. This goal is more than possible, it is expected!
