I have been
spending intensive time meditating on the concept of perfection. I came to the
conclusion that I often find myself trying to perfect every area of my life.
From meticulous details like making sure my underwear matches my outfit, to the
alignment and order of the papers on my work desk.
I attribute this to my connection with God. Delving even deeper into my conscience, I began to recognize the internal hierarchy of spirit and flesh. Naturally, I think we are perfect at birth, born in the image of God spiritually, but ultimately deterred by the flesh and worldly avenues.

In
theory, every creature on earth carries a unique spirit, which is pure at the
moment of conception. From the moment you are born, your spirit begins to clash
with external spirits, resulting in either diversion or ascension of your
spiritual connection with God.
This starts the circle of life, a pure beginning followed by an engaging journey of reversion to that purity before you die. In the beginning, God created the flesh from dust, when you die your flesh turns back into dust but the spirit lives on forever. I credit this as the parallel of spirit/flesh and life/death.

The juxtaposition of flesh and spirit is
signaled within your conscience. Whenever you're doing something wrong
your conscience tries to revoke your decision, but for some the flesh becomes
so strong that it wins the battle. In the Bible, this test is seen in the
story of Adam and Eve where God tests them with the tree of knowledge.
After being tempted by a serpent, Eve's conscience reminded her that she should not eat of the tree. The Bible described the fruit of the tree as "pleasant to the eyes," illustrating the influence of the flesh. Eve, along with Adam, gave in to the flesh, and ate of the tree, placing flesh over spirit. This is a simple parable that everyone can relate to.

Putting into perspective your success and goals, this
concept correlates immensely. The things you want in life are born within your
spirit, creating that hunger to reach those aspirations immediately. But
frequently, worldly energies born of the flesh will try
to contaminate your spirit with negative energies to deter you from
your dreams.
A solution to this will be to invoke your conscious spirit to ascend to a level where you can deflect these diametric spirits. Think about the recent energies that have tried to counter your desires and aspirations, these are those worldly energies attacking your spirit (goals & success). Even old energies that you carry from the past can be detrimental, holding you back from your true spiritual success.

At this moment, write down the things that you feel are
countering your dreams and success. For me, I write down the feeling
of inadequacy. This is why I have spent so much time trying to perfect
every area of my life. I often spend time fighting the feeling of inadequacy
that I have vividly felt throughout my life.
To combat this negative energy, I have focused on reaching a spiritual point of internal acceptance for who I am and what I want in life, regardless of the opinions of others. This is easier said than done, but being aware of it will help elevate my spirit, with the ultimate goal of permeating this energy into other areas of my life to maximize success.

You can do it too! Take some time, daily or weekly, to
become cognitive of the energies attacking your spirit or the spirits you have
carried with you throughout your life that holds you back from your godly
potential. Becoming conscious of these energies will be the first
step to ascension.
Next, you must fill this void. That negative energy must be replaced with a reinforced positive energy. For me, I am working on replacing the feeling of inadequacy with reinforced internal acceptance. How will you begin transforming your spirit? Remember, God has already given you the necessary power to eclipse these worldly energies. Elevate your spirit and flourish accordingly!

be sure to leave a comment. I would love to hear your perspective.
Have you ever wondered where your desire of perfection originates from? I enjoy that you invite your readers to a solution that combates current struggles, but what about the original one?
ReplyDeleteI addressed it in the 2nd to last paragraph. The feeling of inadequacy.
