Okay, so God created the heavens and the earth?
In a manner of speaking this is true.
So then tell me, how could perfection, create so much, well, imperfection?
You’ve finally dawned on the big Aha! What you see around you appears imperfect. In fact much of your behavior appears imperfect. You are dealing with perception. Perception is not reality. Perception must happen from a place of duality.
But I believe perception is the type of light I shine on the world. What I mean is I believe that what I focus on, or choose to perceive, I bring into my reality.
This is correct, and at the same time you must remember your reality is not real.
So who created it?
You created it, and you are still creating it as we speak.
If I created it and I was created by God, then God must be imperfect, too.
No, this is really a bit much for your understanding today.
I know you can help me out with it though, so shoot. Who created the imperfection when the only One that is, is perfection?
You created your imperfection. I simply allowed you to do it based on the contract of free will.
Yes, but if I am really an aspect of you, then how is it possible that I could make something that is not perfect?
Your mind is a playground. It isn’t real. It’s imaginary. Currently you have deluded yourself into believing you are a solid imperfect being living in a solid imperfect world where things can actually go wrong. Row, your boat gently down the stream, merrily…life is but a dream. There is more truth to that one statement and simplicity to boot, than in any of your religious writings to date.
So if I am nothing but a dream in the mind of God, how can God even dream of imperfection?
You are dreaming of the imperfections. I know only perfection.
But I am an aspect of you! Is this not correct? If I am wrong then there must be something other than God here, and I could lose at this game.
Let it go. Lose yourself for a minute pretending you are a reed floating on top of a winding river. Are you the reed? Are you a part of the stream? Are you a part of nature, and the Universe?
I am all of those things I suppose.
Yes, and do you suppose the reed can suspect the stream has led it down a wrong turn?
If the reed had consciousness, yes, it could suspect a wrong turn.
The tricky thing here is the reed actually has more consciousness than you. However, it does not perceive any flaws in the path it is being taken down.
So are you saying there is no imperfection in the dream?
Yes, that is what I am saying. You only perceive certain things as imperfections, thereby giving rise to silly phantoms.
I still don’t understand how an aspect of God can make a mistake and perceive duality, or imperfections.
Somehow, an aspect of God has bought into a lie. Somehow an aspect of God has looked upon itself and cried, “I am unsafe here!”
Once again, how could perfection do that?
The mistake you are making is seeing this world as a mistake.
Once again, how can perfection even make that mistake?
The world is your oyster. There is so much more going on than you can possibly know. God is ever expanding, growing. Do you believe that divinity could ever get bored?
No, I don’t think so.
And you are correct. Perfection is immutable, and unchanging in the sense that growth is constant and God is forever expanding and learning about God-self. Divinity never gets bored because I have chosen many ways to know myself through expansion. You would not be able to comprehend even a fraction of these divine expressions from your vantage point of limitation. It is true that God is unlimited. A fraction of God can see that it is not the whole of God, but knows that this is not imperfection. The amazing thing that has happened in your realm of the mind of God is that you, as a fraction, actually saw your partitioning as a separation, a limitation and an imperfection. All parts of God are perfect. However, not all parts of God are aware of their perfection. You see anything is possible in the mind of God, even the surprising rise of the perception of separation.
So when God decided to partition itself into illusory bits and pieces to make up your world and your humanity, the fraction somehow perceived this as a form of banishment. This is where the story of Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden arose. Consider for a second, the apple and its seed. The seed that I planted that is you, actually believed it was separate from the apple and the tree for that matter. The fruit of the tree of “knowledge” invented the thought of separation. Realize that you are the fruit, the seed and the tree.
