So, God wants us to be perfect, right?

But that is the same thing. If you are striving for the 'soul's higher perspective' then you are saying you are lower now and need to better yourself to reach God or whatever you consider to be 'enlightenment' etc. My OP is making the point, why would it be necessary to be higher in any way? It is an assumption that is a premise for all belief systems but no one questions it! They just go along with it. There is no evidence for it at all, and I don't mean scientific, I mean from the experience of billions, especially those who have 'advanced' in occult and religious paths.

Depends what you define as love.

We are responsible so how can we not be to 'blame'?

There is no objective truth about anything really.

It's a game that gives the impression that the stakes are high when indeed we have nothing to lose and we were never broken in the first place, we merely got convinced that we were by other humans who are confused themselves.

So if we aren't meant to be perfect what is the point of any spiritual belief system? As they are all currently based on the premise that we have to become perfect. Oh and give yourself some fancy title like Buddha, Priest (or even better High Priest!) or whatever.
