Imperfectly Perfect

by Rhonda Sheryl Lipstein | Jul 23, 2009 | Namaste Love Whispers

As an enLIGHTenment GuideLight, BEing of TRUTH, and WHOLE-istic Life Coach, there is a certain assumption of ‘perfection’ in one’s BEhaviours, ACTions, thoughts, feelings, and overall BEingness, from others, but even more so, from SELF.

Like a brain surgeon, as an example, they, as do their patients, and others in their surround, have an expectation of performing each and every surgery perfectly. Like any surgeon does, like any accountant does with respect to their client’s annual taxes or a taxi driver does, with respect to getting their passengers to the right destination.
We DO what we DO BEcause we BElieve we can do it and do it well, if not Perfectly well!
More over, we are that much more aware of when we do NOT perform ‘up to par’ as we are intimately awares of what that means, what it takes, what is expected and thus what is lacking when these expectations {our own or those of others} are not met.

As an enLIGHTenment GuideLight, it is my Personal Legend, my ‘raison d’etre’, my purpose for BEing here upon our earth school, to guide those whom so seek, to BE the Best “I”, in “ME”, they can BE.

Part of BEing the “best I in ME” one can BE, is BEing LOVE in EVERY and ALL circumstances, even the really ‘nasty’ ones.
It means, perceiving, receiving, and responding from, within, and through LOVE’s Light, even when YOU KNOW, the individual with whom you may BE interacting is NOt. Even, more so, when YOU KNOW, they are purposeFully ACTing by CHOICE from a place of MALICIOUS intent.

NOT EASY!!!
Not even for me!
Yup, ‘tis TRUE!
I AM an enLIGHTenment GuideLight, this IS who I AM by Nature – why I am here, my Personal Legend, and yet, I AM also a ‘product’ of our Globally Conditioned Universal Family, I too, have BEen socialized, reared and educated within the main stream North American culture of our current civilization.
That’s A LOT of conditioning to surmount, and there are times, when YES, even I, one whom offers guidance to achieve the exact opposite, falls prey to my “EGO’s” whims and illusions.
There are times when I or one whom I hold dear and near to my heart has BEen ‘wronged’, hurt or otherwise disrespected, and ohhhhhhhhh can the anger boil within!  Keeping in mind, that the anger boiling within my BEingness is a response of MY CHOOSing {consciously or otherwise} it is a reaction that I HAVE CONTROL over – it is of MY CHOOSing!!!
My anger DOes NOTHING to assist the situation. YES! It’s TRUE, it’s VERY HEALTHY to vent, to discuss, to release, in fact, IT’s NECESSARY! It is necessary to LOVE SELF enough to acknowledge this negativity within our SELVes that we may RELEASE it.

It is necessary to BE GreatFull for the ‘negative’ experiences in our lives, that we HEAL the anger within ourselves, and see more clearly, more LOVingly and BE TRUE to our TRUE Nature of LOVE’s Light, that we may CHOOSE calmly, rationally and with intent to NOT react in anger but respond in LOVE.

Don’t get me wrong, I am NOT saying that negative ACTions taken by others do NOT exist and are “just illusory”, albeit ALLways open to interpretation…..for they DO exist and when someone hits, murders, speaks negatively, acts selfishly, bullies, {ahhhhhh the list DOes unfortunately at this time in our Universal Growth go on infinitely though changing rapidly for the better!!! TRUTHFULLY!! YOU CAN see the Change ALL around!}, they ARE so partaking within the manifestation of negativity.

YES! Their negative ACTions DO exist, however, our response to them, our interpretation, JUDGEment of them, is of our OWN MAKING. We can CHOOSE to see their negative behaviour with more negativity, or CHOOSE to BE of LOVE’s Light, neither judging nor condemning, neither reinforcing nor supporting. We CAN CHOOSE to BE understanding, even, dare I say, empathizing and compassionate, if even from our EXTREMELY DISTANT, SAFE, SECURE, and even “unKNOWn to them” position of LOVE. In other words, if YOU are in a relationship of any kind with one whom is continuously imbuing YOUr experience with negativity, in BEing compassionate, empathetic, and understanding, YOU must FIRST BE so to SELF and thus REMOVE SELF from that relationship. YOU must FIRST DO ALL YOU can, for YOUr SELF.

It DOes NOTHING Positive for US to BE in a place of anger, judgment or scorn. It only serves as a deterrent to our own Happy and Fulfilled BEingness.

YES! There are individuals within our Universal Family whom CHOOSE to ACT in ways that are ‘less than’ LOVing, ‘less than’ respectFull, generous, giving, caring, however……...instead of passing judgment upon them as BEing ‘less than’, we can CHOOSE to see ALL that they are ‘missing out’ on, all that they are ‘punishing’ themSELVes from experiencing, ALL that they are suffering from, to BE an individual existing in a place so lacking of LOVE’s Light.

It is an AWFULL place to exist within, to CHOOSE to BE in darkness, in depressed levels of happiness.
Do others get hurt?
YES!
However……the extent to which they get hurt, has much to DO with the conditioning of our world, and our own individual conditioning, socialising within it.
IF someone has murdered another, taking the most drastic of examples, the one who is murdered has obviously BEen hurt. They have obviously BEen negatively affected in so much as we – in our conditioning to date, understand. Obviously, their family has BEen hurt, again, in so much as our conditioning to date.
For YOU see, even within this most horrific of circumstances, the one who has BEen murdered, for ALL we KNOW to date, as we DO NOT KNOW of that which exists BEyond our physical manifestation, may have so CHOSEn to BE the example for ALL of WE, the ‘sacrificial lamb’ shall we say, to teach a lesson most profound.

And the family, may again, BE blessed this AWEsome Gift of BEing, yet again, a symbol, a catalyst of Great enLIGHTenment – which in our current conditioned manifestation seems required to enLIGHTen ALL to the TRUTHs of our Miraculous BEingness.

More over, when one DOes something sooo profoundly negative, we tend to focus ONLY upon the one who did the negative act, instead of ALL parties so involved. Perhaps the murdered victim CHOSE to walk home alone, when they could have taken the bus, or a lift with a friend. They may have CHOSEn to stay in an abusive relationship, when they could have left that relationship years ago. Perhaps their family never taught them to appropriately defend themSELVes or take necessary precautions, perhaps, they did not get them the necessary help or provide the necessary support to leave an abusive relationship.

There are ALLways a plethora of perceptual realities by which to view ANY situation.
When President Bush was in ‘power’ we were ALL {most of we} abhorred by his CHOICEs of war and cruelty. We saw him and many still DO, as EVIL incarnate. And YET, Because of Bush, around our Globe, members of our Universal Family of enormous diversity, UNITEd together to speak out for, ACT towards and manifest more PEACEFull BEingness towards one another.
He has BEen a HUGE catalyst in the transforming transcending enLIGHTenment of our entire Universal Family.
Ahhhhh, gett’n the idea here…..there is ALLways another way to view ANY situation.

It is NOT ALLways easy, though Possible it is!!  We have NOT BEen raised in a Global Society that makes it easy. We have BEen reared, conditioned, inundated with so much negativity, competition, illusion, and FEAR to make hating one another the ‘natural tendency’, instead of LOVing one another.
This IS CHANGING!
And it starts with SELF.

In moments when I find mySELF viewing one within my own intimate experience as BEing ‘less than’, going so deep into the anger, perceived betrayal, and even so far as taking ACTions I would NEVER advise another to so DO, I DO so, in the same breath of remorse and guilt. In my AWAREness of Truth, my Personal Legend, my BEingness, comes the question “How can I, an enLIGHTenment GuideLIght BE ACTing, FEELing, thinking so………”
And then……, in asking questions, seeking answers, opening SELF to TRUTH, I give my sELF the objective distance required to see the Gift of learning and growth made available to me to transcend the conditioning of my socialization. In so DOing, I allow MY SELF to see that I AM response able to change my own perceptual realities and BE more compassionate, understanding and empathetic, FIRST and fore most, to ME.
It is VITAL that we are FIRST more compassionate with our SELVes, more forgiving, supportive, uplifting and assisting to the “I” in “ME”. When we recognize that we are Response ALBE to CHOOSE how to perceive, receive and respond first to our SELVEs in LOVE’s Light, we reveal just how amazing we are, how infinite our capacity to love and be love is!
The guilt passes and instead, replaced in its place, is an AWEsome gratitude for the Gift of lessons learned and transcendence experienced.

We are ALL, ALLways learning and growing, it is a continuous state of our existence. WE have centuries of layers of illusory fears to overcome and even the best of we, the best brain surgeons make mistakes, the best accountants lose money, the best taxi drivers get lost, and the best enLIGHTement guide lights lose sight of love……….so that we may learn more, heal more, enLIGHTen our SELVes to more TRUTH, that we may BE that much more compassionate and understanding with SELF and thus with/to/for ALL others.

Blessedly BE Sweet Earth Angels Divine.        
May we each shine in the BEauty of our LOVE’s Light emanating PeaceFull LOVing Serenity unto each of our Universal Family members and enJOYing a Party’n Adventurous Journey of transcended, enLIGHTened TRUTH.
