    Very nice, I often found the flaws of a person to be what made them more attractive. But I dont share the point of view most ppl do about beauty.

      God usually inspires me, sends stuff to my mind to write...and articles like this come into creation.

    you have a beautiful way of expressing your thoughts....And i can feel your words very well..
    I am not sure if people are perfect but accepting oneself is a difficult thing in this world if one is always trying to be perfect and that is being proved wrong..

      Thank you Papri! It's a gift and I don't know how to "control" it I let it flow through my fingers as I type. I'm an empath as well...so maybe you feel them because I unconsciously radiate them. Exactly, accept yourself first so no one can treat you with criticism and indifference again. Prove to yourself you ARE perfect just the way you were born into this world. It is our only protection against derogatory judgment.

      There's no power in perfection without creating imperfections. It isn't pefection most seek, but power.

      Soul, is.like a flower that unfolds. When completely open to Universal Spirit it absorbs the light without being altered by mind. It is the imperfections found in mind that create an outwardly flow of mind stuff as mind associates with opposites. In reality...there is no opposites...no perfection as that is only a perception as well. You could say... It is what it IS. You either accept it or you don't. The world isn't falling apart. No more than a chicken is falling apart when the egg shell crumbles and he is now free from it. You either accept it or you don't. Mind, has no power of its own. It is Spirit that activates it. Mind, is machine like. A sheath of energy that surrounds Soul...like the peddles of a flower. Mind, associates with opposites. Since, there is no opposites outside of mind...All is what it IS in its perfect State.

    All is in its rightful place...that is what makes it perfect. This is the perfect State, we unfold from. You are Soul a Unit of Awareness that is constantly unfolding. It is this new State that sees the old as imperfect. Although, it was past good or bad experiences that brought forth unfoldment, and therfore...all is good or perfect. As Soul we have the God Knowledge within. It is the imperfection of mind to look outside for answers that can only be found by going within. This is the imperfection we're experiencing now. But, it too...well somday come to past and see it too was needed for the unfoldment of Soul.

    you make some very strong points but what of those who are not " on the level" and have no understanding what they do or do not do affects others ?

      Then they are as you call them. "Lost souls" until they find themselves they will remain imperfect in their heart and mind without the factor of acceptance and understanding of the way of people and their individualism.

      then in many ways I am a lost soul myself in the fact the things I do are for me and not to better myself or others

      Then you must self-discover and ask yourself why you cannot be selfless and provide unconditionally with grace and leniency with integrity and decency, you're not a bad person you just haven't learned this process of humanity.

      and sharing what you have with those you deem acceptable of your terms. It is okay to look out for yourself of course but other people around you who care and love you matter too, also important to realize.

      you have truth in what you say but I am not a selfless person I help when I know it is right but I also do not go out of my way for those who have proven to me it is not worth my time I would give my life for a stranger but there and many I know I would not give the time of day to with me hatred has to be earned and most people do a damn good job of it and then there are the rare few like you that make me think humanity might not all be so bad

      You help those who ask or need it, not offer it, that is good and also a great asset when knowing to hold back and let them save themselves too, we cannot be everyone's hero at every turn. Yes some people will just have to do without you, and that is okay, let them learn how to properly fend for themselves after you've shown them the way the FIRST time you help or second, after that it's time they learned the ropes like a bird first learning to fly. Always remember: "The people who treasure you like gold will make you shine brighter than all the stars of the constellations." - Quote by me. ^_^
