I think of it more as self is being released. There is no actual self, only a self image.

It's like.. a fruit. You know the one, the pick of the season, so juicy and full of flavor. I had one the other day, a peach. I don't know how many I had this summer but this one was by far the best. To me it was perfect. Other people may not like peaches though, and what is perfect to me might not satisfy another. Perhaps that's why the "ideal" of perfection lacks consensus. There's probably nothing in existence that everybody could be 100% happy with.
Plus, the idea of the source, as this thing that is many things and one thing, is represented all throughout reality in the form of fractality. The multi-celled organism, the body is like that.

I hear ya....
I'm just saying that perfection is relative to something else, for example the other peaches you ate.

I really like this definition of Taiji to describe this perfection we call source.
Taiji (simplified Chinese: 太极; traditional Chinese: 太極; pinyin: tàijí; literally: "great pole") is a Chinese cosmological term for the "Supreme Ultimate" state of undifferentiated absolute and infinite potential, the oneness before duality, from which Yin and Yang originate, contrasted with the Wuji (無極, "Without Ultimate").

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

It is infinite in potential
and if a thought exists, and it has then the verse exists, perhaps differently then we at present can fathom. |
