We Are All Perfect Spiritual Beings

The quote below comes from a post in a Google Group I’m a member of and I thought I would share it and my response as well. I hope you get value from this.

“I realize that love now comes tainted with protection. I see a Friend shining as though their soul’s light is fully revealed in all its glory. A moment later I’m cautioning myself to find some flaw, some fault I shouldn’t overlook so that I’m safe from vulnerability. No one’s perfect I remind myself, then a list of their imperfections starts to run through my head. If it’s someone new, I begin to brace myself for the inevitable something that is probably there that I don’t yet see.”

This says to me that this person has some issues with distrust that they need to address. Somewhere along the way they seem to have been badly hurt when they offered love to someone. Or perhaps they have some feelings of betrayal from someone they loved. But by looking for “the inevitable something that is probably there” they are setting themselves up to be hurt once again.

The reason for this is because they are focused on not getting hurt when they offer love, and that is exactly what you get, hurt. Instead of looking for the flaws someone might have, and finding them (because we attract that which we hold focus on), try seeing a person as the perfect being that they truly are. We all come from God/Source/the Universe/whatever your name for it, which is perfect, so in turn we are perfect too.

The Bible states that we are made “in God’s image,” so looking deeply into that, God is a spiritual being, so thus we must be spiritual beings as well. Our bodies are just the hosts we choose to reside in while here on Earth.

So, what is it about us that is made in God’s image? Our spirit, our soul, our inner being. And that is the part of us that is perfect. To say that we are imperfect beings says that God (who is a perfect spiritual being) cannot create something perfect. That all of God’s creations are imperfect. BAH I say!

Our spirit is a perfect manifestation of God’s will, or Source’s intention, however you wish to say it. So, for us to live out a perfect life, we need to reconnect with Spirit.

When you are fully connected you will then see the joyous perfection that is in all of us. You will no longer seek out the “imperfections” that you now choose to focus on and cause yourself pain, but rather, you will look for the good in others and see them for what/whom they truly are; a perfect spiritual being capable of anything their heart desires. You receive that which you focus on, so change that which you look for and you will find that you will see it in everyone you meet.

In Joy and Peace,
