Life is Perfect!
Embedded Files
Who are you without your story?
Life is perfect and it always has been.
A usual morning at home, in the early hours of the AM before fully waking from slumber, my mind does its auto pilot ponderings whilst my body is slowly waking to the new day.
I'm never quite sure if it is actually my mind, my own thoughts or someone else's, are they thoughts from beyond the veil, my own Soul or our Creator working through me.
Yet on this day, I was visited by the thoughts of Life is Perfect...and it actually always has been.
I nearly forgot and then remembered
These morning ponderings on this particular day were prompted to be recalled when I saw a reel my mum shared in a group chat on Instagram about the prison of our minds and how we can 'get out' of our own mental prison - (akin to The Work of Byron Katie and inquiring into our thoughts and beliefs to relieve our suffering from them).
It was one of those moments that when you see or hear something in your day, it instantly brings you back to another dimension to re-member earlier moments you forgot about - like remembering a dream that you had, forgot and then recalled all because of a string of words said by yourself or another, an image or sound prompted your recollection at a random time throughout the day.
I recalled that these thoughts visited me this morning that ''Life is perfect and always has been".
This was a new visceral insight for me - not that I didn't think life was perfect in its own injured or broken and misunderstood way, but this insight was rather a (sleepy) whole mind, body, heart sensation of wholeness that Life (with a capital L) is actually very perfect and it was the first time I had ever thought or felt this in this way.
I remember a moment, even half asleep, the experience of an uh huh, "of course it is, of course it's always been perfect; I just thought it wasn't perfect, I truly thought I misunderstood Life, I thought that my life wasn't perfect - how did I not see that until now in this way".
The issue...that we as humans think, feel, see, experience life as otherwise - as not perfect, as not fair, as challenging, as difficult, as frustration and suffering and for many many valid reasons we could talk about until the end of time.
There are also countless distractions around us that limit our ability to see Life as already perfect. The 'hack' is to see through/past/beyond all of the distractions in your life and the world around you.
Life itself is perfect.
Life has always been perfect.
Life will always be perfect.
Life...is perfect!
The catch?
What this had me realise in a glimpse of a moment was that until now, it was only my thoughts about life being not perfect that was in the way of seeing Life as perfect just the way it is, has always been and always will be. It was like waking up with a new set of eyes, ears, glasses and a new lens of Life.
I will admit that I until now I pretended to think that Life was already completely perfect just the way it is and isn't. It was a nice thing to say but in truth, I never actually felt the truth of it. I was faking it.
I had previously tried to convince myself of this but it felt empty and unattainable and unsustainable. 'Trying' to think life was perfect, didn't work for me.
I needed to change my definition, relationship to, thoughts of, feeling of and view of Life as its own existence of perfection.
Our thoughts, my thoughts about what I think of life/our life/other's lives is the source of any suffering experienced in life.
Life itself, on its own, with or without me, you, us - is perfect and always has been.
Of course - a deep dive for another day is the curious question of what exactly is 'Life'?
I'll add here for a concept to help grasp this for clarity - Life probably doesn't need us, but we need Life.
Therefore, Life - as the sum of all that exists - is perfect and our addition, contribution, interaction, participation or avoidance of affects us, others and what we think about Life and how we personally experience it.
Life - Life is just perfect already - can you see it? It is truly perfect and deserves our respect and awe.
Life itself, on its own, with or without me, you, us - is perfect and always has been.
An invitation:
Think of or imagine something you consider perfect. An experience, a thought, an image, a moment you've had, a feeling, a taste or smell, a past experience or a desired experience you wish for.
Bring forth that feeling/sensation in your whole body.
Hold that feeling. Be still.
Now...
Try on the possibility of seeing all of Life in your minds eye - all of it, yours, theirs, the whole world of Life - in this very moment and bringing that same feeling to all of Life
- as truly, wholly and completely perfect
just the way it is?
Hold that feeling for as long as you can.
Most of us have heard of the phrase or concept that 'we create our reality' . That in itself is a very nuanced topic and not quite what I'm touching on here.
When you can unwrap your mind from a tangled old limiting thought and invite in a new truth such as ''Life is perfect, and always has been, I just didn't see it that way until now'' - a sense of excitement, deep calm, fuller peace, greater joy, and many other good feels enter the space of Self. In terms of nervous system regulation I would say it is akin to reaching deeper sense of wholeness, completeness, a regulated nervous system connected to the glory of all that is.
I have experienced this insight as an instantaneous moment of dropping a heavy object, ridding myself of an old burden, of now seeing the algorithm of Life so clearly and with wonderment. It's not until you have also experienced your own 'dissolving illusions' moments, immaculate change of thoughts and thinking, that you can quickly grasp it. For me, the illusion that Life was not quite perfect has completely dissolved.
When you have done many worksheets of Judge Your Neighbour, The Work of Byron Katie the process of inquiry somehow becomes embedded in your being. On this occasion I think The Work did The Work on me in those sleepy moments. And the story of life being hard, unjust, incomplete (insert whatever descriptors you use for life) just dropped away and dissolved.
Yes please! I'll have more of that thank you.
To experience a new sense of Life as perfect with my whole being - from a new vantage point, a whole new world begins to awaken and taps into something deeper within.
This insight is not experienced as knowledge, not as a new thought to replace an old thought, or mental intellect fact. It feels like a very deep, ancient knowing from a place far beyond the sum of me or my experiences in this lifetime.
It is a feeling that something that was in my way seemingly forever, and I didn't know how to get it out of my way or that I needed it to get out of my way - IS actually now out of my way and that feeling of relief consumes me.
I personally love these moments, especially when they come about on their own.
I can now quietly chuckle to myself in realising the egregious and arrogant audacity of my limiting, inherited, invasive, intrusive, aggressive and completely convincing thoughts that Life isn't perfect - is actually the grandest dishonour and disrespect to the incomprehensible beauty and perfection of Life and our Creator of it.
I no longer need to pretend that I think Life is perfect, or say the words out loud with false conviction. I no longer need to fake it to make it. I now know the feeling of the transcendental truth of it.
How dare I (or you) believe such limiting thoughts to be far superior to the magnificent intelligence of the source of our creation and existence.
And now...
It's not that I see Life visually or physically different from this point, it is more a subtle feeling, a deepening of being closer to home of something bigger and greater than the cage of my own mind and cluttered thoughts.
I couldn't even tell you anything significant has changed in my life at all for this insight to come about, it's like it just happened on it's own and it clicked. I don't have any new ideas or inspiration of what there is to do or not do about or with this insight.
However I get the sense that it's a new way of experiencing every moment as already perfect, made perfect by our Creator, not that I need to do anything to make it perfect or judge it that it is not perfect or that I'm not perfect in my experience of the moment.
I get to just show up and be in awe that Life is already perfect and I get the privilege to participate. I'm honoured I now get to feel what it's like to get front row seats to Life.
In it's own way, this insight or glimmer is like a dusty window I didn't know was there that becomes a new shiny opening to the cosmos that has had its curtains drawn to the sides and blinding bright lights shines in.
A new level in the game of life has been reached, a new token is added to my collection, another bow to my quiver, another thread of wisdom sewn into the fabric of my being.
Actually I think the name to the feeling it offers is ''liberating''.
It is liberating to feel that another limiting thought shackle has been unlocked and dissolved and I am one more moment to being closer to wholeness, freedom and connected to the meaning of Life and my Life.
From here, with the new view that Life is perfect,
the invitation before me is to match my thinking
and align my thoughts
to that of the Creator and the perfection of Life;
to see all that occurs or doesn't occur in my own life as also perfect,
just as it is, however it is or isn't.
