Question: What is Enlightenment?
Thanks for asking the questions that come to your mind, even if they seem “rather peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all perceived pain has vanished, for what but wrong-mindedness seemed to produce the eckhart tolle a course in miracles called pain.
Pain was the illusion that Christ could leave a Loving Creator’s Mind. “If pain is real there is no God. If God is real there is no pain.”(W-190.3) The latter is true because God has no opposite. Enlightenment entails no pain or displeasure about ANYTHING, for Enlightenment is Pure, Constant Happiness, Peace, Freedom, and Joy. Being Constant, Enlightenment knows not of change. The illusion of vulnerability and fluctuating emotions has gone as well. There is no ego to fall “back into.” Spirit Abides in gentle Love. All pain is over Now and nothing remains but a blessing of Stillness.
