Thoughts on Perfection

Perfection in Every Moment Everyone is around you for some reason.  From the person behind you in line to your mother-in-law.  If you are open, you can find a lesson in anything.  And as a bonus, you can find the value of these relationships that bother you.  Those ones that irritate you the most.  Maybe so much that you can release the need for them to be.  We can make the most of all of our relationships with some basic understanding.

Relationships are the keys to growth. They are temples of today. Each moment in itself is Perfect.  Not like perfectly enjoyable, but perfectly what we need to continue in our growth.

Aspects are set up exactly to mirror your patterns to you.  You are in each situation in order to learn something that you have not mastered yet.  If you become conscious of this, you feel more in sync with your life by realizing the opportunities within it.  You lose the "victim" of circumstances attitude and live up to your optimal part in the play of it all.  In letting go of the desire to control life, we free up to dance with the flow of our experience.

As we develop these tools within ourselves, we can let it be and let the answers come to us, naturally.

So take any random moment today and sit back and observe for a second.  Become aware.  What is the opportunity in this situation?  What can I learn here?  Look at all of the things in your view at the moment you think of these questions.  Sometimes its very funny to see the obvious "signs" in your view.  Many times if we could just lift the veil before our eyes and change our perspective, so much more is obvious in the same situation.   Its like when you watch a movie that you used to watch when you were younger, and you can see whole other levels that were there that you used to be unaware of.

  What is your definition of Perfection? Many of us have a rather funny definition of perfection.  The mass definition of perfection tends  to be "beautiful without flaw".  This may be things such as being smart, rich, powerful, spiritual, fun, etc.

Of course we'd all like to be these things, but many of us need pain as our fuel to continue to grow, and therefore, lack in some of these areas.  The pains of not having what we want can be one of our greatest teachers in life. If we change our perspective, and define perfection as being "One journeying through life... being their best, learning their lessons, enjoying the experience, and enhancing the experience of others", than many more of us would be considered perfect, as we are.

 Even those that seem to be "fallen" right now are mastering or learning whatever it is they are caught up in (the patterns they are attracted to).  There are no mistakes in this universe as God/the Divine Creator/Source has made it.  There is value to everything that everyone goes through.

Some of our biggest growth comes from our darkest periods.  So don't have pity for them.  Don't try to save them from it.  Have heart-felt compassion for suffering and honor it.  Love it by looking at the unique opportunities it has given you to help others who suffer that way.

When ones you love are suffering, let them know you love them. Feeling your love can be a huge bridge for them through the strife.  Don't care-take them and protect them from it or they may just have to learn the lesson another way.  It can keep coming harder and harder until they are faced with so much pain they must finally shift their beliefs and grow.

The more we can collectively learn these things, the more we can alleviate the pain of those who are stuck in the greatest suffering.  There is a lot of extreme suffering in our world and it's our responsibility to stand up and change that.  With it going on, we still have lots of work to do.  We still have to raise our collective consciousness beyond some of the "survival" thinking patterns we carry from our past - the ones that had no value for human life or saw people as objects.  If we each begin with ourselves, and being of service to those in our lives, we can literally change the world.

Are you giving back?  We all are able to help someone get to where we are, at least.  And as we grow, we can learn how to help more.  That's what its all about here.  BEING IN SERVICE!  And as you give to others, you receive much more.

 To all of my perfect sisters and brothers, congrats on getting to where you are now and thanks for being you.  Lets make it fun and enjoy the experiences together.  We all are going through some hard times.  Let's be open about it and be real.  It makes it much more enjoyable in my opinion...

Love!
