Natural Great Completeness
That Perfection, wherein the world and knowledge thereof rise and set, and which shines without rising and setting, is alone the Reality.
Under whatever name and form one may worship the Absolute Reality, it would only be a means for realising that Perfect Being without name and form. That alone is true realisation, wherein one knows oneself in relation to that Reality, attains peace and realises one's identity with It.
The world is not imperfect or slowly evolving along a long path to perfection. No, it is perfect at every moment; every sin already carries grace within it, all small children are potential old men, all sucklings have death within them, all dying people . . . eternal life. Therefore, it seems to me that everything that exists is good ~ death as well as life, sin as well as folly. Everything is necessary, everything needs only agreement, my assent, my loving understanding; then all is well with me and nothing can harm me.
~ Herman Hesse, Siddhartha
We are not waiting, with hope or with fear, for some future evolution of humanity or progress of history, for we know without doubt that the essential completeness, or freedom, longed for by all conscious beings, always exists here and now. Regardless of perceived suffering, there is spiritual plentitude right before our eyes, not only for some elite, but for the people as a whole, for conscious life as a whole.
~ Lex Hixon
In the depth of our heart,
we already know that
we are perfect as we are,
in the depth of our inner being,
we already know that
life is perfect as it is.
~ Giten
That is perfect. This is perfect.
Perfect comes from perfect.
Take perfect from perfect, the remainder is perfect.
May peace and peace and peace be everywhere.
To men, some things are good
and some are bad.
But to God, all things are
good and beautiful and just.
~ Heraclitus
All will be well
And all will be well
And all manner of thing will be well.
~ Julian of Norwich
All things work together for good.
~ Romans 8:28
The prime characteristic of cosmic consciousness is an awareness of the shining life and order of the universe.
~ Sophy Burnham, The Ecstatic Journey: The Transforming Power of Mystical Experience
No matter how wrong things seem to be, they are still all right.
~ Bill Wilson, Founder of Alcoholics Anonymous
So divinely is the world organized that every one of us, in our place and time, is in balance with everything else.
