The Imperfection of Perfection ...OR..... The Only Perfection is Love

I see humans suffer from what could be called the disease of perfection. It is such a huge yet simple subject I have been wondering how to approach it. Here is my effort:

The only perfection is love. It is eternal. It is all that matters. To be loving, to act loving, to respond in love, to have faith in the eternal existence of love as the essence of each of us.  Love is that which heightens us to Itself, Love is what bridges us from heart to heart, Love is what kicks our weak little egos out the door and welcomes in harmony and ease. Love.

I use to have a bumper sticker on my car - creating heaven on earth.  I believe many suffer from this concept also. It is misleading - thinking we are here to create a heaven like society - when we believe this; we see things, actions, people, experiences as wrong when they are not heaven like according to our individual perceptions. We are constantly seeing others, judging others as ones we will have nothing to do with because they are not perfect, not following this 'right' action, not taking  this road - so we walk away. When we believe we are here to create heaven on earth we are seeking to change our exterior in order for it to conform to heaven, with all the traits, experiences, etc. that this 'other side' is like  - or what we may believe the other side is like.

Living life believing there is a need for a perfect earth creates divisions, divides us and builds barriers. Perfection is heaven and all else is not. 

When we seek a perfect world;

Students leave great teachers because the teacher has been diagnosed with a horrible disease and if they were really together they would not be getting that disease, can't they make themselves better? - I believe this is one reason Ram Das chose the road he did- to teach in a very public way that perfection lies within how WE individually respond to life and call upon love to carry us.

When we seek a perfect world:

There are bad and good experiences.

There are bad and good people.

When we seek a perfect world:

We are mad at ourselves when we feel or judge ourselves to be  less than -

When we seek a perfect world we admire those we feel we cannot acsend to, those we say are better than us, know more than us, are more heaven like than us.

When we seek a perfect world:

We find fault with this one.
We judge.
We scale. We build levels. We create status.
We fear that which does not live up to what we perceive to be perfect.

Our perfection has nothing to do with our bodies or clothes or homes or jobs or health. Our perfection has nothing to do with what we do - our perfection is HOW we perceive, it is an interior awareness. Perfection is found deep within our souls. It is that awareness of the Divine Perfection of Love Itself which when we are aware of It and bridge our thinking, body, mind and heart to an awareness of Its Presence - we FEEL relief, we FEEL a glowing lift from all burdens, all misconceptions, all that is NOT of the Divine Perfection.

To believe that we are here in order to create this earth to become heaven like and  in the process to dismiss all that is not like Itself - is to dismiss the exact purpose of being a spiritual being in a human experience here in this dimension.  We come here to have the exact relationships and experiences that we have - we cannot have them anywhere else. It is only in this dimension, in this place called earth that we can see so blatantly the dark and Light - that we can see with such tactile and palpable existence how the ego, how fear, how that which is NOT of the Light can be. It is ONLY here, on this earth, in this sometimes challenging and amazing existence that we can BECOME that which we seek. The challenges which are the teachers, the rough times, the darkness; hold the lessons, hold the sacred availability of our very own expansion! It is so exciting to see the polarity which is offered here in this dimension as Divine Opportunities to Become that which is Love.

When we desire for everything to be nicy nice - for our worlds to be without negativity, challenges, disease...etc - then we seek to take away the very essence of this earth school. We seek to kick the teacher out of the room and think we can do it all on our own! We have to see the negative and take self responsibility for our perceptions of it  in order to expand our consciousness, in order to raise our individual awareness of Spirit.

This does not mean life is not wonderful - life IS wonderful when we see perfection within OURSELVES.  Only within yourself. Seek the harmony of feeling, emoting this blissful state of Divine Perfection from within your own heart and then you will be living as close to heaven like existence as possible on this earth plane. Recognize love.

All too many people seek the perfection of someone outside themselves - they build altars to their therapists, their ministers, their Gurus - they build altars to their diseases, their labels, their stories. Build only one altar - an altar to the Divine Perfection of Love within your own heart. And yet............the divine perfection is, that one cannot build an altar to/with Love within ones self until you learn that building an altar to anything else does not work. 

Hence, this necessary journey here on this beautiful dimension which offers us perfection in the imperfection life of living in human bodies -

Seek the love in every experience you have.  Find gratitude for the imperfections which unto themselves rattle your ego in order for you to choose to seek the Love which is your very own essence and the purity of Spirit Itself.

'To Love!
