“But you are called to something higher: “Be perfect, as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Matt. 5:48.

“The command Be ye perfect is not idealistic gas. Nor is it a command to do the impossible. He is going to make us into creatures that can obey that command. He said (in the Bible) that we were ‘gods’ and He is going to make good His words. If we let Him—for we can prevent Him, if we choose—He will make the feeblest and filthiest of us into a god or goddess, a dazzling, radiant, immortal creature, pulsating all through with such energy and joy and wisdom and love as we cannot now imagine, a bright stainless mirror which reflects back to God perfectly (though, of course, on a smaller scale) His own boundless power and delight and goodness. The process will be long and in parts very painful, but that is what we are in for. Nothing less. He meant what He said.” ~ C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity (1952; Harper Collins: 2001) 205-206.

This is a description of paradise, heaven on earth, here and now in this age. We, having been made the perfection of Christ can say “Be Perfect” as though we are truly inside Christ and are able to command a certain reaction from creation. I mimic His voice; His words.

This is who we are. Do not look around and be discouraged or dismayed. What you have seen for centuries is not Truth. It is not substantial. It is not fact.

Fact is the Divine from whence all creation came. It is perfect, pure and it is paradise.

In the twinkling of an eye we will all see and be changed. How can that be? Because we are already in perfection and it’s only the eye that must change its perspective to see. It must twinkle and see the twinkle all around. It is the shine of glorious perfection.

We have been living under a lie, a spell of smoke and mirrors cast upon us to keep us from seeing our strength lest we stand up and take our place beside Him before our time. But when we see, it is from that place that we rule and reign and are seated.  This is when we stop being immature children full our Self and our stubborn vision of evil.  And it’s where we reveal that we are His Child, fully receptive, accepting, and at ease in Him.

Blessings,
