The Road to Perfection
Seeking perfection
has long been a goal both for the spiritually minded and the emotionally
motivated. However, there are implications within the concept of perfection
that may not serve us. Perfection implies that there is one choice amidst the
thousands of choices we come across during our lives that is the correct choice
and to miss that mark (the original definition of sin, by the way) causes us to
miss our greatest good and leaves a stain of failure upon our being. But what
if perfection is merely a concept of the mind designed to keep us moving but
causing us to ignore that which we already are? What if it is not possible to
choose wrongly? What if any choice we choose is made holy and “perfect” by our
act of choosing? Let us open our minds to a new way of thinking, of seeing our
world as a myriad of miraculous choices that seek to allow us to express our
joy and love of life. Let us leave aside the belief that we can choose wrongly,
that we can miss out, that we can forever condemn our souls to live in lack and
aloneness. Let us know our own Being who is Source who is Love who is
Connection to All That Is. Let us choose that which delights us, which makes
laughter and joy bubble up and flow outward to make the world a happier place.
Let us choose this now.

ReplyDeleteLike, like very much. I can hear my brain arguing about this but I'm choosing to ignore it. I'm choosing to drink another cup of coffee now. It feels almost sacred. Thank you.
