Thanks for asking the questions that come to your brain, even if they appear “somewhat peculiar” to you. In Enlightenment all observed pain has faded, for what but wrong-mindedness appeared to produce the misperception called pain.
What does that mean in relation to your second question? You can’t destroy what has never lived, and All images were built to obscure the Reality from attention, and they could just be understood together illusion. If illusions might be separated up in to living and dead, natural and inorganic, animate and inanimate Enlightenment could be impossible acim .
For what is Enlightenment but Genuine Oneness, much beyond the possibility of team of any sort? The separate mind was the illusion. Seek to not task the separate mind to types and call some forms living and some types dead. God understands perhaps not form. The separate mind seemed to be the “killer” illusion, the Holy Spirit reminds the sleeping brain that what is whole and unified can never BE split.
In Paradise Brain is One Spirit, and even pertaining to that earth forgiveness reflects that Oneness. The understood earth identifies the unity of the recovered mind and sees that there’s nothing “outside” with this simple mind which desires softly a happy, delicate dream. The goal of ACIM would be to dream lightly of a sinless world. That purpose is a lot more than probable, it’s expected!
