#14 Spirituality - Everything is Perfect?
Life is perfect?
.Preamble
"Oh yes, life is perfect" and I just smile and go all pink and fluffy. lol
"But last Tuesday, when I was in the dentist's chair and a cold sweat, praying for the novocaine to fully kick in - life was far from prefect!"
I don't want to give example's of life's less than perfect funny little imperfections, as some them are not funny and not little and I feel it would be needlessly uncouth to mention them here. You know what I am talking about....[the dentist scene above is a comedic lie - I put it in quotes?]
The thing is -some people feel Everything is made by the Divinity,The Creator.
And the Divinity is Perfect.
Hence:
"All is perfect"
"There's nothing to fix"
"There's nothing to do"
Here's my two cents worth on this:-
.Everything is Perfect?
Can a Perfect,Infinite Being make imperfections?
Yes.
But are not those 'imperfections' actually perfect imperfections?
Maybe these imperfections are there for a reason or something and just perfect unto themselves?
Which would mean the Creator with His Infinite Power cannot make an imperfection because it's perfect!..?
A God-made perfect imperfection?
Well this is all intellectual mumbo jumbo and has little to do with my world...what do I feel?
(If you want to go further down this route try Socrates (Historic or Platonic) - he is realllly good at it...lol)
But I can descend further (!) into mind games and 'philosophy' thus:
Can an Infinite Being make mistakes -is this something It cannot do? ...lol
Maybe on the 7th day He said:
"Whooops!!! What a foul up! Hmmm.... let's leave that one and build another one over here. I mustn't build worlds after eating lentils."
But the fact that this Reality is here means She(!) must have been okay with leaving it as it is.
Otherwise it would have been 'right click-delete'.
Whether this Mistakes-Were-Made Scenario is actually still a Perfect World or not is data perhaps unavailable to us.
This is all silliness and more intellectual mumbo jumbo because I was trying to figure out with the reasoning mind what the Creator did at the Dawn of Creation!!!
...It's just another Big Bang Hypothesis !
My point is to deduce with the reasoning mind that the Perfect Creator could only have made a perfect world is fine but nothing to do with spirituality.
It's almost Newtonian physics - a good machine will make good products -yet some of the greatest scientific breakthroughs were from accidents. The excellently prepared experiment faltered and wow penicillin !! I feel it was Pasteur's intention and thought that drove his discovery to manifest in the physical world -he was looking for something and this was the true cause.
For spirituality we have to feel our way -we spiritual types maintain that the Divine can be percieved but not with our eyes perhaps -just felt.
.Is Everything perfect?
It's pretty simple:
It depends how you look at it -from which viewpoint one assumes and how one judges these things.
'Good' things are just good for us - I win the lottery-"Hooray"; and I build a huge house in the forest -all the trees and animals go "Booooo"!
And there's the Divine View - maybe on the seventh day God also said:
"Yuppers -it's all Perfect and I put in some you-will-call-them Imperfections, for reasons only a few of you may discover"
I've opened the subject for you to feel your way.
As I have said before in earlier scriptures in this blog - one cannot often think these things through with deductive reasoning alone -it just goes around and around. I again implore you to feel with your 'soul' (you) - feel these things.
.There's our view and the Creator's View.
What do you feel?
Is the World Perfect?
-- From our view:
I feeeel (lol) that "Perfect" is just a judgement - it's like "good" thing / "bad" thing - it's just a label on something that otherwise just is.
For me it boils down to this:-
I perceive a World,a reality which exists -it is.
I perceive that this World was made by the Creator.
-- And in moments of clarity and stillness I perceive that the world is perfect.
By which I mean that's as close as I have been to the Divine View !!!
.Is Everything perfect?
.What do you feel?
How does it look if you let go of as many judgements as possible?
Don't forget all your judgements seem "true" -that's how it works -they are your creation.
And I see these beliefs as manifesting in our lives so the 'evidence' of their truth follows.
"Life is a bitch",
"Life is a beach"!
It depends on your view of life doesn't it?
Suffering, for example, may have blessings for you -it may feel needed for growth and offer a greater appreciation of the 'little things' later.
Some things may feel deeply true which just reflects who you are -your core.
It's okay - enjoy this identity within the oneness -and change bits of your persona you don't like when you can.
But does Everything all feel somehow perfect?
That's your truth - my truth may vary - but perhaps so long as I don't put a horrible vibration out there my ideas are not so important.
What do you feel?
Is Life Perfect?
.The 'practical view.'..Is Everything perfect?
Some people feel that bad things are just bad and that's that.
"I am sorry -you weren't there - it was awful -if there is a God, I have an enemy"
and
"I am a spiritual person, a psychic , there is love in the world and there is it's opposite fear. Fear in people causes them to do bad things and hurt others"
I don't want to offer a logical argument opposing these views per the above, I think it's not valid, not spiritual.
But to me they still feel like beliefs and belief systems layered on top of what is.
I don't feel these bad thing are really good things either - I just don't think anything has any innate in-built badness, wrongness or evil in it.
That's what I feel.
Sometimes in horror I do instantly judge things as bad -or do I? It's more like I label things as 'wanted by me' and 'unwanted by me'.
From my view as an identity - for things I didn't make happen - I hesitate to question the wisdom in them -I feeeeeel like I am criticising God! This is because I feel God made Everything.
.The Awakened view? - of 'Is Life perfect'?
We've looked at our view and considered the Divine view -let me introduce the 'Awakened' view.
I feel the people we call the "Awakened" or possibly "Enlightened" see everything as a kind of unreal fabrication sort of in the mind of God.
They see handbags, traffic,our bodies and sea shores as kind of make-up.
Suffering ,pain and pleasure as created layer put on the top of things.
Emotions as a creation within a construct of beliefs and ideas that create an individual out of a soup of Infinite Awareness called the Divine.
Nothing seems real to them .
There's nothing to take too seriously
Everything seems to have a comedy aspect to it.
The fat smiling Buddha -he's not too bothered about high cholesterol is he? I bet he thinks that's funny.
All bad things seem to have that British indomitable humour to it :
"Your father has passed?"
"Yes as long as I live I will never forget his last words:
"Oh Fu*k -It's a bus!"
Nobody dies do they?
I mean my mother died and I cried..but she hasn't gone ..I feel sometimes she still communicates to me ...it's like she's moved to Australia.
And there's 'letting go'.
The Awakened Gurus and so forth talk of letting go of a clinging desire for the outcome of something. Try something and it works; that's cool -if it fails; then that's okay also.
They don't offer resistance to what happens.
It's "Why bother?" I suppose - nothing is so important to get stressed out about.
They're the person reading a newspaper and playing chess in the park - the other guy is hunched over the board tense and frowning and not daring to look up for fear of loosing. It's not that the Awakened newspaper reader is a chess master confident in victory under all circumstances and against all opponents - she just isn't worried about it. But ironically she thus plays a better game and would win mostly.
It would appear that to have something , anything, money,happiness, enlightenment one has to fully and totally let go of it first.
It's the resistance to not having the thing that seems to push it away -and the Gurus etc get into that by not seeing anything the world has to offer as vitally needed. The mechanism for this, we are told, is that 'thoughts creates things' and that what we hold as visualisations or concepts (not having it) manifest.
So if we step back from the world and our deadly serious lack of money in it (lol) for a second and see things in a bigger picture, Life looks different -we have a different view.
It's all slightly comical.
And this view ,the big picture approaches the View of oneness and the Divine.
From the Awakened/Enlightened view is Everything perfect? I imagine it would be pretty cool -yes !
.There's nothing to fix
I can go with that.
The world just is.
The world is.
To 'fix' it is just to change the world to reflect my judgements.
.There's nothing to do.
Hmmmm.
God went to a lot of ruddy trouble to make this lovelly Creation.
And He made us too.
And we find ourselves blessed with Her power to create (make things).
And some of us feel we have an infinite capacity as we are all one with each other and the Divinity.
So why waste it?
The Game or Opportunity or Fun Times or Spiritual Awakening are available if we make them happen (create).
Why not have a go at it?
But we are not trying to fix things or improve on imperfections.
Suffering is not bad - Suffering just exists...etc
The world just is -the labels (good,corrupt,wrong,delightful) are our own.
We can even have judgements about things and change the world to fit them - that's okay. So long as we remember they are just our judgements.
"I like chocolate -places without decent chocolate are no good - thus I will bring quality chocolate to those places"...etc
.Is life perfect?
Well if I could relax about it -it feels like it probably is!
But I don't really care if I am stressed or not these days - It all seems to pass.
And I am not bothered about being enlightened either -I sort of gave up on it.
Maybe that's half way?
Yes- I feel Everything is perfect!
What do you feel?
.and there's a thing I want to change in the world, it's not a fix for where God went wrong but it's something I would like to see in the Creation :-
'I would like a spiritually awakened world. A world where humanity takes responsibility for this blue planet and the fluffy animals and lovely trees and plants and stuffs...Seriously :))
And if I help that manifest through my lifestyle and example and these writings then that alone would give me a tearful happiness.
I ask for nothing else from the Creation; save only the power of my will to accomplish the task, with the good fortune and serendipity to bring this about.
I will keep 'coming back' until this is done.
Be very very afraid Lord (lol) ; you have made many of us who also have this desire and some of them are giants and all are filled with a great resolve.
Amen'
Love you,
The Perfect
