So what IS your perfect world?

Meenakshi said Sep 20, 2007, 7:42 AM:

 

Yes, we do have an idea…each of us; that defines a world that we would not want to change. What is that idea? Till we confront those ideas, we will keep tripping over our own feet, wondering why we sometimes manifest what we want and at other times do not.

From where moments of negativity come upon us, who have seen the wholeness.

Each of us feels immense peace and joy, and yet…..we do have our purpose, goals, feelings, desires. We may not confront them daily, they may be large or small, but they are there, little motes of dust that can get in our eye.

So dear ones, share with each other, please read each other's responses, ask and comment…interact as I leave to meet my parents in India, and may not be as active here till OCt. 3rd.

BTW, the question is- what is your perfect world? One that you dream about? Plan for? Have brought about? What is your world that  seems home to you?\
We have been here for more than 50 years dreaming this world. It is now time to share.

I hope the present world is perfect, only problem is that we find ourselves to adjust our selves to live in this world. short comings could be solved according to swami Vivekananda's solution, ” correct your self first and the world will correct itself accordingly”. so it seems very simple. Only thing all must be able to have full meals like others first and a place to live peacefully.

A world where the AUM goes on forever.

A world filled with space and things in space.

A world filled by one rapturous now moment after another.

A world where love, peace, and joy have no opposites.

A world where tears turn into rainbows.

A world where people know the difference between praying and begging.

Where I know what I want, pretend to know what I need, and don't know what I'm going to get.

If this isn't possible then I request to be reincarnated as a dog out back of that barbeque place in Grapevine Texas.               jOe

Well, first I guess I'd have to state that my perfect world would be just that, MY perfect world. I do no now nor have I ever felt that I had any idea what would work for someone else.

And my perfect world very closely resembles the world I live in.

My perfect world is not all light filled and blissful all the time…I love feelings too much, all of them. My perfect world is not a place where no one has challenges…I love drama too much. My perfect world is this world, of duality. It's what I came here for and I love it.

It is a world of bliss and of pain, of passionate love and heart-rending loss, a world of courage and of fear. I look around me every day with tremendous respect for all the amazing spirits who have chosen this embodied life. I love those who have no idea about it and I love those who struggle with it and I love those who, like me, embrace it.

My world is pretty much content with what it is. My world feels, to me, like what people call heaven on earth. If it just felt like heaven, it would be…and I wouldn't be here. It wouldn't be “pretty much content,” it would be totaly content, and I'd likely be bored.

For me, the world is perfect, just as it is.

Victoria,

It's taken ages to respond - but I loved what you wrote.  Usually I feel that the world is just perfectly imperfectly perfect.
But around the time you wrote it, I also realized what a wonder it is that we have co-created a world where duality is. Knowing that it is an illusion, and yet being so caught in it that we can experience the wonder of the colors of the rainbow, experience the thousand names of the One as “different people” that we know, for example; or the hundred names of the One on our Zaadz network; or the tens of names of the One who are members of a pod…!

The wonder, as I wrote perhaps on a pod; is not that there is light; but that consciousness can actually believe that there is anything but oneness!
As you say, that is what we came to do, to experience, as humans; and I too would not change any of it.

Ummm…except perhaps when I feel someone is being hurt and needs healing?
Well, no one said my thoughts were perfectly formed, did they?!!!! LOL!

Meenakshi,

no one said anything about your thoughts….nor do they have any right to…unless, of course you post them on a blog…oh! oops. You did.

So I’ll take issue with the, “except perhaps when I feel someone is being hurt and needs healing?” part of your reply.

If we all came here to do what we came here to do, how does anyone have the right to step in, unasked, and help? Maybe help isn’t wanted. Maybe there is more to be learned from the hurt.

I refuse to “send healing energy” to anyone who hasn’t specifically asked for it (children excepted, OK if a parent asks). Not that I don’t think about it. Things like that cross my mind every time I see someone struggling with changing a tire in the rain, on the side of the road, for heaven’s sake, but, I remind myself (and I know, because I’ve been the unwanting recipient of far too many people’s projections about needing healing) that they may not want it either. I trust that, if they do, they’ll let me know somehow.’

Well, yes, that is the part that I take issue with too- in the sense, that I wonder why I feel that anyone “needs” healing, when everything is perfect the way it is. And then I realize that we experience at many levels, and as we are expanding, we are simultaneously aware of the many levels of  thought about things.

So, in this case, perhaps what “needs” to be healed, or made whole, is the sense of fragmentation and confusion that arises when we try to change something at ego-level.[fragmented level, where we are trying to be you vs me vs another] 

“ I trust that, if they do, they'll let me know somehow.'”  - yes, that's true. And I have felt healing flow to people who did not ask me; and know that I am only a witness to the healing that is flowing to them. It has made me realize that healing begins to flow whenever/wherever something calls out for it. All we do , is actually witness. Would I tell that person that I am sending healing to them? That is impinging on their own energy/privacy. It is injuring them rather than helping them.

When someone asks me for healing, in words, I take it with humility that there is a connection between us that needs to be established or balanced. As in any healing session, regardless of who plays the roles of healer, asker, or receiver, all receive healing from that great oneness.

A world that lives love. A world without borders. A world without the us/them that encourages or allows us to excuse transgressions against our fellow creatures and against nature. A “one” world.

The most important dream ---So what IS your perfect world?

Meenakshi said Dec 20, 2007, 5:12 PM:

 

The most important action we may need to do for the coming years, is to have a dream.
To craft it as clearly as we can.
To dream takes courage, requires clarity, and communication of the details to oneself.
To remember one's dream or to let it go. Whatever you do, craft a dream.

What is the dream you have of the world in which y ou live? It is not about past, present or future; yet it is about them all.
What is the dream world in which you live?

And….can you craft a dream that you love?

Hmm “perfect” world? Tough one.  I suppose perfection-like beauty- is in the eye of the beholder.
For me personally- a perfect world would be the usual stuff-no war , poverty, hunger and so forth.
I also would include a place where parents have all the tools to nuture their children.  Where petty anger is seen for what it is–a waster of time, and where everyone is surrounded by beauty and clean air. 
But human nature being what it is–there would be some who would just prefer the dirtiness and want to drag us back with them-by any means possiable.
In a perfect world, we would accept people for who they are inside.

Lizzyl: ” I suppose perfection-like beauty- is in the eye of the beholder.”

Yes, that's why I'm asking what is YOUR perfect world! 

Also, I feel it changes as our perspectives change. I feel it's important to state it, though, as we manifest around us, what we feel we want. What surprises me is how our dreams of perfection are also so “realistic.” That is what shows me that yes, we are manifesting what we feel is going to happen.

e.g. you said: “But human nature being what it is–there would be some who would just prefer the dirtiness and want to drag us back with them-by any means possiable.”

and then “In a perfect world, we would accept people for who they are inside.”

How would you be able to accept the people who try to “drag us back”? That's quite a question to ponder….
Anyone have thots on this?

I wish to dream about a world without any scarcity for food, clothing and dwelling places for everyone in this world. Mahathma Gandhi too wished for same. Our famous poet bhaarathy declared to destroy the world even if one person is starving for food.

This is my perfect world, right here, right now.  I am not affected by things that happen but by my opinion of those things that happen.

I am the master of my destiny and author of my fate.  I do not live in an accidental universe, nothing happens by chance.  Whatever I am experiencing is directly related to the expression of my consciousness which manifests as my body and the world around me.

My body and my world are subject to change which means they are both impermanent, here to interact and be enjoyed until such time as I draw the curtain on this incarnation and enter the next perfect world, waiting to be revealed, experienced, conquered and understood.
