How to Beat Perfectionism:

Ideal is just undoubtedly beautiful. Gorgeous even. They have perfect skin and beauty marks. They're even toned-- all around adored by the sun. When Ideal speaks, everyone listens, and the words are edifying. And they're voice is velvet and smooth -- a vibrating movement that inspires. They're rhythm is a perfect cadence, and they are impeccably in tune. Ideal never loses breath and never gets tired. Ideal rests well and perfectly arises. Ideal never gets angry. They are always Patient and Kind. Ideal is always generous. Never late. Always on time. Ideal's humor never offends. Yet, they bring Joy filled with chuckles. Ideal is always courteous, thankful, and fearless. Ideal finishes everything they start and does everything they say. Ideal dies but awakes again. It's typically sometime around their Saturn's return.

Today I was inspired to write about perfectionism as if it was an anonymous being. It had to be done in the present tense and it could not have a sex or gender because of course, Ideal is inclusive and good for the whole. Something very interesting happened... I realized I was describing The Christ. As I continued, I also realized just how ridiculous the idea of Ideal is. I mean --- look at those two words: Idea and Ideal. Ideas live in the mind. This idea of ideal/perfection is completely mental. In fact, it is crystal clear that Christ lives in the mind. 

We are all here mentally receiving all kinds of ideas and holding on to them --- deliberately and sometimes even desperately wielding them into 3-D reality; while other times we are either painfully or gladly letting go of these ideas. We hold and let go of ideas about ourselves. We do the same thing with our ideas about other people. In fact, we ourselves are ideas.  

The idea that we are ideas stems from the void (a.k.a. thought bubble) of Creation. Whether we know it or not, we are here to multiply. We are here multiplying. Multiplying people, multiplying wealth or poverty because the laws that govern the universe cause expansion. We were ideas in someone's mind before we came to be. It doesn't matter if our parents had us "on accident" or not. It doesn't even matter if it was unwarranted. The fact that the people here before us knew it was possible whether or not we know it is possible supports this theory. When I was born, my mother knew that one day, she may become a grandmother. It didn't matter that I was only an infant when she had this thought. I'm an idea and so are you. Isn't it also interesting that it is with that same Christ-like/perfect energy one would have towards a baby? Imagine the distress a mother feels when her perfect little baby cries and she, herself is trying to live up to this idea of perfection so that she can be a perfect mother because her baby deserves nothing less than that. She subconsciously feels she must tend to her baby like The Christ himself.

Apparently, Joy filled with chuckle is not the only sort of laughter Ideal brings. Ideal evokes all kinds of laughter and ALL emotions -- absurd because it cannot exist without Ideal being totally in-ideal.  

All of the possibilities in this 3-D reality exist because all things must be possible in order for expansion to be occurring. Of course, there are many ways of viewing this. Expansion is happening because everything that can ever happen has already happened. How about that for a mind-boggling, mental milk shake of a thought. Anything can be Ideal.

But these words are all just ideas... That's all anything ever is, all it ever was, and will be. 

Forever and ever, 

Ideal
