The problem with looking for perfection in this world, including in your personal self is... it isn't there.

However there is such a thing as perfection, which you can discover within your inner self through meditation.

1) Remember always that God promised to show us The Way, not The Easy Way!

2) If you want friends, be friendly. If you want Love, give Love. You will NEVER get that which you have not FIRST given to others!

3) Your knowledge of any subject, condition, or of any other nature is of no value if it isn't put into practical use. In other words: Don't just be good, be good FOR something!

4) Be willing to be the Big Frog in the Little Pond rather than the Little Frog in the Big Pond; but don't croak too loud at any time! Never think more highly of yourself than you should.

5) If you're going to Believe, then believe with absolutely every fiber in your being. The moment your fears and doubts take hold is the moment you give them more credence than God. The children of Israel fell prey to that and look what happened to THEM!

6) The pyramids were built one brick at a time. The bricks were made from straw and mud-which just goes to show you what can come of nothing more than straw and mud.

7) A rotten apple left in a barrel can make every other apple in it rotten in turn; but no matter how many perfect apples you throw in that barrel the rotten one will never be made well. Get rid of your rotten apples.

8) Desires are of your own making. God Himself does not take away or overcome your own desires. They are totally and completely your own. How's THAT for a scary thought? Always do what seems best to you in regards to your own relations, and always follow your own conscience.

9) You really want to know how you're going to make it to Heaven? You will make it leaning on the arm of someone you helped.

10) Try not to feel too bad when repeated attempts fail. It only means you continue to have hope that things will change; be different; be better.

One Walker.

The best way to become Spiritual is to drop everything you read on this thread, then go within with no conceived ideas. When you come to the place of Rest within, you'll be in your Sabbath, completed.

Hello, I have three simple words that might help you in your adventure.
Tao Te Ching. It is a collection of proverbs( if you will ), written by a very wise sage Lao Tsu. This book has allowed me to trade my ego for compassion, and profoundly changed my direction in life. Hope this helps

I'm going to put in another vote for meditation. It was the catalyst for what made me more spiritual, as I used to be a complete atheist. Meditation seemed like an easy way to "dip my in my toe" into spirituality.

Pray, pray, pray, it builds spiritual muscles...

Use you own words, it doesn't matter, since it is the desires of your heart, that provides your spoken and unspoken words with wings...

Ask for the Love that transforms you into the substance of the Divine and not just the image, as we all start out to be...

It is not the stumbling where you learn, but in getting back up. Congratulations to you for having this desire to get back up!

Finally always remember, there is no failure, just degrees of success.


Love to you,

ds
