Complete.

Spiritual resource to share:  perfection

One statement says everything. It creates the most sustainable, viable and purposeful framework in which to understand who we are in the largest possible context.

We are complete, made in the image and likeness of God (pure Love, Life, Spirit).  Or as it says in Genesis :

Gen 1:26

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:

Gen 1:31

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. 

 

If this were understood in its entirety, we would see more stability, development and joy in our lives. In fact, you can read story after story of healing in all aspects of life from people who have experienced life more fully because of their understanding of this very idea.  (See any of the posts on www.spirituality.com)

So, if this is indeed so wonderful and true, then what would try to keep us from really embracing this key sustaining principle of Life itself!

It is good to note that whatever would try to keep us from understanding our completeness can be corrected.

• Is there the thought that life includes vulnerability? a subtle argument that we are flawed? an unconscious acceptance that we are at fault and punishment is justified?
• Is there a mistaken assumption that we need to go through something in order to reach harmony ( a process, a period of suffering, a certified procedure)?
• Is there a belief that we are blameworthy or unworthy?

I'll be exploring the answers to those questions in a series of posts.  Please add your comments below and I'll keep posting during the next two weeks!
