Dear friends:

Perfection/Imperfection again

I agree that in this WORLD [ i.e.: in MANIFESTATION ] there is no
"perfection."

Some of the ideas I tried to put forward concerned the condition
of the NON-manifested WHOLE -- of a period which antecedes the
"World" as a limited, illusory and manifested place where we all
are now.

I think if we study what HPB gives in the "Secret Doctrine," vol.
1, pp 14-18 we can all profit from that exposition.

I tried to make one point: If in this imperfect and illusory
world we can conceive of "perfection," then something in the
depths of our consciousness is of the nature of that stable
condition, and projects the idea onto the receiveing surface of
our embodied consciousness.  If so, would not this be one "proof"
of its existence as a state we can aspire to -- where harmony and
reason prevail and conflict is banished ?
