Perfection or Paradox?

Perfection. What does it mean to you? Is it something beyond what you are now? Is it better, stronger, prettier, smarter? In the pursuit of perfection we can get caught up in the concepts of what we believe perfection is and lose sight of what true perfection encompasses.

In pursuing perfection we create a paradox. We spend our precious energy and resources chasing down and searching for something we already possess. The harder we try to achieve it the more we believe we need it, and the more elusive it becomes. Meditate on this. As we come into the knowing of our perfection...the state we exist in right Now.. we will grow in wisdom and presence to merge in consciousness with the original Oneness. But first we must go through the growing pains before we can acquire freedom from the binds of our constructed delusion of perfection. In fact it is through these growing pains that we become liberated and our first taste of true empowerment can be experienced. 

 We arrived in this world perfect and continue to exist in a state of perfection, whether we are conscious of it or not. Part of our perfection is in our constant evolution, we are always changing, growing, expanding and like the Universe, we are never static. Everything in the Universe is made of stardust, the atoms within us are the same as the atoms in the stars, flowers, trees and animals, even the concrete skyscrapers in our cities, our furniture, clothing and computers all carry within them star stuff. When we look up at the sky, we are looking at our ancestors.

Perhaps the deepest spiritual connection to the vast Universe that science has given us is an awareness that ancestral stars are part of our genealogy. We can now know and feel our connection to the heavens, for stars are among our ancestors. Every atom in our bodies, other than hydrogen, was forged in the fiery belly of a star who lived and died before our own star, the Sun, was born.

We are Stardust, Connie Barlow

Stardust holds all the radiant elements of our cosmic DNA. All things in this Universe are related. Mother Earth, Grandfather Sky, Brother Sun, Sister Moon. The holy fire in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is as sacred as the fire that lights our barbecues or sparks our car engines to start each day. It is the SAME fire, the same spark and it is ALL Holy. Humans have evolved to the point where matter begins to know and marvel at its own creation. We are the stars, pondering the stars, we are the Universe, trying to figure itself out. Holding within us the awesome power of manifestation, a power that is available to us all and gives us the ability to create our reality. To fully understand this power we need to be aware of this fact.

You can re-create yourself any way you like, but you will never be more perfect than you are right now. 

It's easy to forget our perfection when life presents us with so many hardships. We must not allow these stumbling blocks or impediments to out-manoeuvre us. We can fall, trip and slide as often as it takes before we learn to recognise the pitfalls before us...but we must never allow those pitfalls to keep us down.

Every stage of our personal evolution has it's own unique set of challenges. These challenges leave their impression, sculpt and shape us into new form. Bringing forth the idea that we are divine  artists, creating and crafting an ever changing scintillating tapestry of interwoven rainbow hues and textures, complete with knots and loose threads out of a big beautiful, constantly expanding and evolving Universe of possibilities.

We have arrived perfect, to give form to our ultimate creative expression....Our Self. 

     

Wishing you blessings and that you realise your perfection,
