Dirty Enlightenment: The Inherent Perfection of Imperfection

by Peter Brown

think “I’m a guy and I’m doing this and that, and my goals are such and such, and I’m sitting here in this place and I’m getting kind of bored, maybe I’ll take off and go have a beer.” All that may be TRUE, on ONE level, but there’s so, so, so much more that’s also in the reality of my experience that I’m ignoring by that storyline. So if I settle for that storyline I’m lying to myself. I’m oversimplifying. I’m taking an infinitely complex situation manifested by absolute universal intelligence and turning it into a simple cartoon. And maybe, if I open to that infinite complexity, there’s something enormously valuable there that I’m missing. THAT’S the point. When we open to what our consciousness actually IS, by looking at its full expression, we might find out that, “Oh my God! This consciousness is actually everything; and I AM that consciousness. I don’t exist in the WORLD, the world exists IN THIS CONSCIOUSNESS and I am that consciousness.”
