Problem: What’s Enlightenment?
Thanks for wondering the questions that come to your brain, even if they appear “relatively peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all observed suffering has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to create the misperception called pain.
What does that suggest in terms of your second issue? You can’t destroy what has never existed, and All pictures were made to obscure the Truth from consciousness, and they are able to only be understood as you illusion. If illusions could be separated up into living and dead, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment will be impossible acim .
For what’s Enlightenment but Pure Oneness, far beyond the chance of division of any sort? The separate mind was the illusion. Seek never to challenge the separate brain to types and call some types alive and some forms dead. Lord understands not form. The separate brain was the “killer” illusion, yet the Holy Heart reminds the asleep brain that what’s full and single cannot BE split.
In Heaven Mind is One Spirit, and even with regard to that earth forgiveness reflects this Oneness. The understood earth acknowledges the unity of the relieved brain and considers that there’s nothing “outside” with this single mind which desires gently a pleased, mild dream. The target of ACIM is always to desire lightly of a sinless world. That goal is more than probable, it’s certain!
