Instead of people then just going off of on tangents dictated by what their notions of what 'perfection' or 'imperfection' means, we could all enjoy communing with one another around a 'commonly' shared focus.
Intimacy <=> sharing.
I for one would enjoy hearing more about what you 'see' and 'experience' as 'reality' since you strike me as being quite intelligently engaged with the subject. Maybe, if and as others join in doing so as well, the group intimate-cy would become  ing |
First off, thank you all for your replies. I appreciate it. And davidsun, I will take you up on your offer.
My most fundamental belief is that God, and in turn this reality, is absolutely infinite in the grandest and most extreme possible iteration of such a concept. And the purpose of this absolutely infinite expanse is experience. God seeks to experience its own infinite splendor, and we are a part of that desire in action.
I believe that there are an infinite number of experiences, and each one of these experiences has happened, is happening, and will continue to happen for eternity. This infinity reality, simply by existing as the Absolute, the pinnacle of all extremes, beyond any concepts, is inherently complete. It HAS to be complete, for it is Absolute and nothing can exist outside or separate from it. And anything that DOES exist outside of this infinite reality still exists within it. Such is its nature.
This completeness or wholeness is what I mean when I say perfect. It is infinite, and nothing can tarnish it. And a perfect whole cannot be comprised of imperfect parts. A part may seem imperfect, and yet such a part unwittingly fills its role perfectly.
This infinite reality is the background against which all experience plays. It is the spacious awareness within which all happenings occur. Form must exist within space, and the finite must exist within the infinite.
I believe that any experience that can be conceived of is capable of being experienced. Not only is it capable of it, it MUST be experienced and IS being experienced.
