I get a sense that I’m on the right track when saying

“Everything’s Perfect as it is.”

Comments?

(Yeah Steve, you too. Let’s hear it!  )

"Perfect" is redundant in this context.

Linda

I'd say that was a point of view. Not the point of view.

Not quite sure what kind of bait is on Stan's hook, there.....

How about an interlude ? A case that can't happen but it did (probably) + a report of a veridical NDE from the same doctor (from one of her pateints)

There’s no bait on my hook, in fact there’s no hook. 

It’s a feeling of ‘everything’s going to be all right’ that I get when I say these words to myself.

Perhaps it’s my subconscious messing with me? Maybe something else. When I’m feeling that everything is heavy, and it’s all messed up. Saying to myself ‘Everything’s Perfect as it is’ really brings with it a peacefulness. It’s like a prayer. 

You’re a cynical lot!

Good to hear, Stan ! Have you watched the video, yet ? No worries if you don't fancy it but it's quite a remarkable case.

Somehow, all this is negated by your signature.

But if you are being serious, I'd say that no, nothing is perfect. Perfection means that no further improvement is possible. No evolution. No learning. No point. Indeed, I'd say that absolute perfection is impossible - but I might be consoled by the realisation that this imperfection and the resultant evolution is exactly how it should be.

My signature is really nothing to do with me, it’s just a funny reminder of what a good friend of mine said out loud in the middle of a interview for a senior position. It summed up how he felt at that time, maybe about his life, fortunately I’ve never felt that way.

I am being serious.

I’d say that it could indeed be perfect, with all its imperfections. If life is God’s plan, I can see what it means.

Perhaps then, God is not perfect? Perhaps God is learning and evolving too?
