    Could anyone please define an objective definition to perfection?

    What is perfection, exactly.

    TIA.

  2. Perfection could be described as unable to be improved upon.
    This leaves the only other option it's opposite, or some compromise attempt to combine perfection and it's opposite.
    That is what led to the making of this world.
    The mind is unable to serve both so it serves the opposite while a compromise is considered.
    It's experience is of the opposite mixed with substitutes for perfection...a sense of order out of chaos.

  3. Good question. Many philosophers have defined it, including Aristotle and Aquinas.

    In general, something perfect is complete, lacking nothing, and having no defect.

  4. Fact of the matter is that god has a sense of humor.

    Unfortunately, you may not appreciate it...

  6. We sometimes see perfection in art. Consider the melody of "Yesterday" - can you change a note without diminishing it? But in a deity? I think the idea of a perfect God is nonsensical.

  8. Every day children are born with horrible diseases that are incurable, and other children die of these horrible diseases. Some others are born disabled. Others die in car accidents, are hurt by those they should trust.

    And yet God does nothing.

    As a parent, I would be condemned by the public if I neglected my children, especially if my negligence damaged them.

    And yet God does it everyday, and yet God is praised.

    Common sense, indeed, is not common at all.

  9. Indeed, this is cruel. Turn on the radio and you might hear it described as "loving discipline". "God is not beyond bringing on calamity", said one preacher today. "Who says God can't violate your will?", says another. "You'll know your're a Christian by the way God disciplines you", says yet another. "That's how you know he is your Father".

    And in these ways God is mocked by the very people who preach in his name...literally taking his name in vain every other sentence.
    These people do not know what love means when they paint this picture of God in their minds and bow down to it.

    If this is how God disciplines in love, what the hell must he do to punish?
    If this is good news, what does fear-mongering look like?
    Can sweet and bitter water come from the same stream?
    Who, but the insane, blesses one day and curses another?

    Loves meaning is lost on these. I would be branded "of the devil" if I walked into one of these crowds. For these worship the body, and are hell bent on making it their permanent home. These same imagine a seven year trip to heaven while the world goes through calamity, only to be delivered back to earth, to live and reign with me for a thousand years. It's very clear where their hearts are invested...in the earth, in earthly things. And all will swear on a stack of Bibles that God made a world of bodies, justifying their lust for flesh, and a paradise of fleshly banquet.

    These are wolfs in sheeps clothing. ..
    Leading astray even the incredulous,
    drowning out the truth with bully pulpits
    shouting "I am Christian! This is the gospel!"
    What gospel? What good news?

    Yet I have come to save the lost.
    Ten thousand years from now, I'll still be saving these lost.
    For they are lost indeed.
    Think not they escape from the prison they build.
    For the law of mind will not pass away until all has been fulfilled to undo this awful miscreation.

  10. Ode To Omnipotence

    The world gives evidence of omnipotence gone wild.
    It is omnipotence using it's power to confuse itself.
    The result is a complex riddle. An enigma inside an enigma.

    If our Father had made this world, he would indeed be cruel.
    Yet it is not made by random chance. Chance is yet another cruelty built into the world.
    Cruelty can be traced to the mind-set that makes this world.
    There is one mind that makes this world,
    so the cruelty is actually self-punishment.
    The mind feels itself guilty, and proceeds to execute itself.
    It's judgment of guilt is misplaced and mistaken.
    The Father sent word, "You are not guilty". But it did not listen.
    Haste makes waste. The mind decided to run like hell.
    The crime? Separation from the holiness of heaven.
    Not possible, never happened. But the mind thinks so.
    And the mind confuses itself.
    It's judgement is impaired because it is in the dark.
    Out of this darkness it makes this world.
    The world teaches that separation is true, and punishment is just.
    Birth is a form of punishment, and is a set-up for yet more.
    Whether disaster strikes at one or two, or ten, or twenty...does not matter.
    It's all the same.
    The name of the game is masochism.
    It is utter madness.
    Who would believe this is what's happening?
    Masked well, the mind hides in the dark.
    The mind is secretly attracted to the dark, and hides behind legions.
    It shuns the light, and ridicules it's exposure.
    A child, punishing itself for crimes committed before the foundation of the world?
    In the darkness, this is ludicrous.
    The light also sees it as ludicrous, but offers a solution.
    Rid your mind of guilt, and you will see clearly and judge rightly.
    Forgive the legions for what they never did, and you will see.
    Separation is a farce...an impossibility...and therefore not a crime.
    If the world is real, then separation is real.
    Deny the reality of the world and you deny separation it's foothold in your mind.
    Deny separation and you deny guilt.
    Simplistic? Perhaps. Simple? Maybe not. Achievable. Yes.
    Wake up! This is a dream of exile. None of it is true.
    Wake up! You sleep and dream of death.
    Wake up to your omnipotence. See what you are doing with your power.
    Wake up and be free.
    Does anyone need teach you to wake up? No.
    All know how to wake up from sleep. It is not taught in school.
    All know how to wake from a nightmare, yet no one teaches it.
    Save yourself then. Wake up. Who wakes you but yourself?
    Wake to Self, wake in Self.
    See that Self never changed.
    See that you are Home safe, unharmed.
    See that you are omnipotent.

    Jesus
