Just Perfect
“Be ye perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matt. 5:48)
Perfection is not a flawless state, a state when one ceases to make “mistakes”, but a state where one has transcended the need to judge seeming flaws and faults. It is unconditional love and unconditional acceptance that allow us to see the perfection beyond the duality of good and bad.
What we call “pain”‘ results from our belief in separation, in the belief of the reality of the egoic self which lives in a state of perpetual fear and desire. What we call “evil” also stems from ignorance of our Oneness but is coupled with willful actions to maintain and enhance a separate self — at the expense of others.
Believing in separation from the One Self, we produce on-going cycles of individual and collective winners and losers, victims and perpetrators. It is by willfully acting on our Oneness that we will bring these negative and destructive cycles to an end.
Unconditional love means to love without condition, to see only perfection — then that is what exists. The Divine One Self sees all as perfect, since it sees with the eyes of unconditional acceptance and love.
Do you love your life as it is? This is not easy, the human egoic mind has developed many stipulations on what it takes to be perfect. These conditioned beliefs keep us from seeing our perfection.
How do you respond to your life with its seeming ups and downs? Is this present moment good enough for you? Are you attentive to life and patient enough with it so that you can see the light behind the shadow, the sacred fire in the darkest experiences?
Can you see your life is just perfect because you chose to create it just as it is right now? If you created a shadow,it was in order to better see your light in contrast to it. Our humanity does not interfere with our divinity:, it simply makes it more evident.
