Musing: Absolute Perfection… January 27, 2022 by SheilaIf there is anything I have learned, it is that there are no perfect people, relationships or situations…Rather, it is US, our presence, our perspective, our intention and Decision! that makes them perfect.WE create the perfection, We embody the possibility and potential of what may be deemed ‘perfection.’No one is ‘perfect’. What is perfect, anyway?All of that is judgement and dualism. It requires a comparison against some made up, imagined ideal…What if “it” is perfect, exactly as is?And because we don’t judge it against something else we believe would be ‘better’, we accept and embrace and live from a state of love…This may or may not change the circumstances, but it absolutely changes our Experience…And if we shift our Experience of our experience, lief flows around and through us, without attachment on our part.And it is experienced as absolute perfection.
