4-20. You are already perfect, just as you were Created. No blemish exists to hide your perfection from God. Love yourself as God Loves you and the Light will return.
If you wish to perceive yourself as flawed, then indeed you will selectively elect to emphasize certain aspects of your own presentations to yourself as evidence of your error, in a cycle that can only lead to ever-deepening despair and dejection, for you will be dragging yourself down by your own bootstraps and there can be no final conclusion to such a process than abject desperation as you seek out any further evidence of your assumption that your unworthiness is implicit and absolute. But what of this? What is genuinely true in that which is a misperception? All that is observed incorrectly is not affected by such error - it is merely seen as what it is not, and that is of no consequence to its genuineness. Your True Nature is as this - unaffected by your application of incorrect assumptions to its core of stability. You can prevaricate all you’d like and bluster about, humphing and hawing about how it must be that you are devoid of perfection, some misbegotten being of incompleteness and uncertainty, but that is not the Truth of your heart. That is the misappropriation of your ego, now vested within a larger structure that you’ve created in a feeble attempt to assert that God must be mistaken about you, and so you must be deserving of punishment in some form that is inapplicable to All That Is. This is the core of the distinctions of differentiation that are so readily exploited by the ego in the interest of maintaining its defenses against the Return of the Light. To be different from God must imply that you are somehow lesser, unimportant and forgotten by your Creator. None of this is True. It is an easily error to commit, of course, when this world of form is assumed to be primary in Creation, and when the mind is relegated to some supporting role, a tangential afterthought that arises because of the interactions of so many of the billions of neurons that currently composite the whole of your brain. That is a reversal of the Nature of Creation, and while it is so very commonplace that to question it might be seen by some as either some form of madness, or at least an affliction that is laughable at best and worrisome at worst, it is the error of perception that is most fundamental to the suffering that so many endure while they attempt to posit a rationale as to why it might be that they are discontent without any direct causation. Can they be directly dissuaded from their beliefs, if they remain unwilling to ponder again the genesis of their presumptions, so that they might be freed of assumptions that are not at all supported by the Truth of Love? Certainly not, for to do so by force would be a violation of their Free Will, and God will not permit such an offense, let alone condone it in any form at all. They will be allowed to remain as they are, beset by doubt and wandering in their nature, seeking always that which they already possess, convinced that there must be something more than their own hearts that is able to contain their final and overarching goal, which of course must be the cessation of suffering, for only the insane desire to remain in pain when relief is readily accessible through the Truth of God. This is the core of the quagmire that so many become endlessly bogged down within - that they are imperfect is a presumption, but that they are Perfect is the Truth of Love. Acceptance of this conclusion, which is evinced by so much that transpires but which is oftentimes ignored in both partiality and totality, is all that is required. But such acceptance is hardwon when the ego holds sway, for the ego has no desire to be dethroned, and so it will rail against all presentations that are threatening of its dominance in any way at all, for the ego wishes to remain your lord and master, even though it was always you that subjugated yourself to its ill wishes. Such is the paradoxical state of awareness of so many of the now incarnate Children of God, and they suffer needlessly and of their own volition, for no pain is necessary to transcend all beliefs in limitations. That which is of God is equally of you, which is to say positively, with great fervor and ardor, that you are Perfect - just as you were Created. This is the crux of the opposition that the ego holds out as beneficial - that you must be in some way possessed of a tendency towards “sin” or some other affront to God, and so you must seek out redemption for all that you have done that was unacceptable. Neutrality is the nature of the world of form. That is not at all an appropriate principle to employ to justify any behavior that seeks to harm another, for all that is given - including abuse in all forms - it equally received by those that seek to inflict it upon another. That is why only the insane seek pain, either in its application to others or within a welcoming stance that invites it into their own sphere of influence. There is no need for any of this, for Truth cannot be altered by all that is not Real. All that can transpire is that more time elapses while you contemplate that which is not Real, instead of remaining in a state of acceptance, one from which all that can be will become ever more easily manifest. To hate yourself is to deny the Perfection of God, and that is a worthless endeavor, for nothing can alter All That Is. There can only be its apparent absence, which is an election with no benefit to you or to others, or its final acceptance, a state of Grace from which it becomes impossible to implicate yourself in some form of error or conspiracy against the Nature of God, for you share in the Love that is the Heart of God and you cannot be divested from All That Is or found to be wanting in any manner at all. All that is applied towards yourself that is genuinely Love - not self-aggrandizement, or selfish infatuation, or egotistical presumptions of superiority - helps to allow you to stop attempting to besmirch the Love of God with some form of conditionality. All that is reserved just for some of the Children of God, but which is inapplicable to others, is not Love. That is the specialness of the ego - its incredible fondness for distinction - now being incorrectly ascribed to God. Nothing happens when this reversal of Truth is attempted, save for the continuation of a conditionality of Love that you presume to be true but which is utterly false in every manner possible. Release all desire to be distinct, and you will become ever more willing to see just how unique you are. Love is universal in application and scope. Love does not discern one as worthy and another as reviled. All are welcomed, for Love Knows its own Nature in your heart, no matter how confused you may remain regarding your own Creation and endlessly Perfect Nature. No matter that it is seemingly hidden or that it has been for so long denied - God has not forgotten you. You need only Remember the Love that was your Creation and all that is not of Love will be set aside. That is the finality of transcendence of all limitations, and it is available to you at any moment. Why not start now? There is only more time to expend in questing for that which will never suffice, or the infinite succor of God and the Peace of Love. Choose, and when Love is welcomed, you will See why it was that you were always a wholly suitable and utterly deserving recipient of its Grace.
