Secrets of Mind and Reality

The world is not broken and it is not your job to fix it. The world is perfect, as it is already, as it has always been. The world is a perfect reflection of the perceptions and preferences of those seats of consciousness – that’s us – living in it. The world is not broken and neither are you.

You are a perfect cosmic co-creator, unerringly shaping the world around you by your perceptions and preferences. You are not broken and, therefore, need no fixing.

Nothing is broken and there’s nothing to fix. There is nothing wrong that you need to make right; there is nothing bad that you need to make good. Why, then, is there so much that’s unwanted in this world? Simple. Because you/we have created it. Once we create something different, that is what will be.

And are we saying, then, that there’s no value in atonement, in making retribution, expressing sorrow and seeking forgiveness? Of course not. We’d never diminish the value of such immensely beautiful acts, but not as repairs to broken things, not as solutions to a problem. Perform these acts instead because they feel good, because doing them makes you feel good.

Atone, make retribution, express sorrow, and seek forgiveness as much as you want, as long as it is what you want. Otherwise – if it’s as punishment or under duress or out of guilt or a sense of obligation, or fear of retaliation or unwanted repercussions – it will almost certainly backfire on you, failing to give you the result you desired.

This is why it’s so important to understand, to know with every fiber of your being, to believe with all your heart and soul, that nothing – not you nor the world around you – is broken.

Trying to fix a problem put its focus on the problem. Focusing on the problem validates its existence. Reinforces it. Validating and reinforcing the existence of a problem keeps that problem in your present reality. Even shifting gears a little and trying to focus instead on a solution implies that a problem exists to be solved. This is a self-defeating cycle of perpetual anxiety, disappointment, and pain with absolutely no room for pleasure, joy, and fulfillment to come in and take over.

Your world is a perfect reflection of your perceptions and preferences, and if your world is not to your liking then one of only two possible changes are in order: either change your perceptions and preferences, or get yourself into alignment with them.

By perceiving yourself and the world as working perfectly already, you can finally get on with the process of consciously, deliberately directing the course of that eternal and unbreakable Great Work of creation, of creative self-expression, that’s always, already happening. Perfectly.
