Two Truths. “Everything is perfect”, she said to me. “There’s no need to worry, all will be just as it needs to be.”
I sat in meditation allowing the words to wash over me. Then I heard a question arise in the room.
“But if everything is perfect, why is there war? Why are children starving in Africa? How can you sit there and say everything is perfect when you know how horrible the world is, and it’s getting worse!”
And so goes the battle between two truths. Two truths that are both true at the same time, but also completely contradictory when one tries to rationalize from a single perspective.
The Relative
There are relative truths and ultimate truths, and often they can be in contradiction, and both true, at the same time. Much like the superposition of a quantum state. In a quantum computer you don’t just have 1 and 0, you also have (1,0) where the state Is actually, probably both at the same time. The state only becomes one once an observer comes into the equation and looks at it, then the super position collapses. Relative and ultimate truths are like this, except the position they collapse into depends on the perspective of the observer.
Relative truths are taken from 3D Land, this experience: Relative truths are seen from the perspective of the human, seen as form, material. Seen through our own layers of sensations, perceptions, cognition, and consciousness. This is the perspective that the person in the story was judging from. The perspective that sees and feels for humanity as an extension of self, empathizes with the suffering of the world. I.e. killing people is a bad thing, war and famine are bad, human suffering is bad, there is so much wrong with this world, so much to improve.
Do not misunderstand, this perspective is NOT WRONG. In fact, it is a very advanced view; when you can see all of humanity as yourself and that sparks the desire inside of you to take action, this is currently close to the pinnacle of human development. This realm needs people who use this perspective, and take action to make things better, for all of us. It in fact helps push the evolution of human consciousness further.
And that’s where we start to step into the Ultimate perspective.
The Ultimate
Ultimate truth looks at this reality through the eyes of the creator, of consciousness, of existence itself. From 5D, beyond time and space, where things work a bit differently. No longer are you looking at the individual, you look at the evolution of the whole. Not just humanity, but existence, all beings, as a whole. What lesson is the universe learning right now? How is consciousness as a whole evolving? War and famine increase the rate of evolution, and provide opportunity for innovation and individuals to find their purpose either promoting war, fighting famine, or learning what hunger is.
Our beings are essentially a collection of habits that evolve over time. As an individual, in this lifetime, we learn habits that help us evolve and get better at doing things in the relative world. As we refine these habits, through repetition, we create ‘deeper’ grooves in our consciousness. Second order habits are created; you can look at this as the habits of your spirit, or 4D self. In sanskrit these are called samskara. As the collection of spirits evolve over millions of years, new third order habits emerge. Habits of habits of habits. I look at these as the “Laws of the Universe”, which govern everything from how time flows, energy moves, and matter is perceived. In many models of the past these third order habits would have been represented by gods or deitites like Mara, Chronos, Vishnu, Shiva, etc.
Ultimate Perspective on Humanity
Looking at the habits of humanity as a whole, you can imagine they are slow to change and highly refined over time. They are also extremely “Democratic”, in that they don’t get fully adopted until they are actually working at a great level in the majority of beings, much in the same way biological evolution works.
Let’s imagine ourselves as the creator, looking down on the entire Earth, full of humanity and other beings. You can kinda get there if you ever recall looking down on an ant hill. Now, with this ant hill, imagine that another colony of ants came in and started attacking it. Would that move you into action? Inspire compassion for the invaded and hatred towards the invaders? Unlikely.
Similarly, with war, famine, and all these other problems that we experience as a whole, from the Ultimate perspective these are not ‘bad’. In fact, they are perfect. Perfect because they help push the evolution of humanity, consciousness to a new level. All of these ‘bad’ things create opportunity for certain beings to step up with purpose. Create an ‘enemy’ that they can fight. And in doing so, spur new features like ‘compassion in action’. Over time, thousands of years, and with much testing, these features get adopted into the deeper consciousnesses of the Universe.
Everything is perfect
Thus, when masters say everything is perfect, that’s an ultimate truth. Some people try to judge that from a relative perspective and get into arguments over it, pointing to child rape and such. Missing the point. The problem is in perspective, and thinking that perfection is a state where there is no ‘bad’. Try to imagine a world where there is no evil? How could we even know what good was? Could there even be free will? Or would everything move according to some pre-determined idea of ‘not-bad’?
This relative idea of perfection, where there are no errors, no problems, no bad would create a huge problem. Evolution would stop, because within that context of perfection, there is no need to evolve. Because to evolve is to get better, and if you are perfect, there is no ‘better’. I think that would ultimately (pun intended) collapse everything back into a singularity of one, the only thing that could be prefect from that definition. The diversity and wonder of the known universe would cease to exist, and only a single point of perfection could exist.
Ultimately, everything is perfect because there is the opportunity to improve. Because all the pain and suffering provides the opportunity for beings to have purpose, maybe even become a Buddha. Because over time, the universe and consciousness will evolve and learn. THAT is perfection. Continual improvement, and knowing that evolution on all layers will never cease, never stop.

Yes! “We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.” — Anais Nin
Of course ypu have touched on every level of my thinking so I’m enjoying sharing my thoughts about this topic. A top which as you know.. have haunted me deeply for years in my journey every level of the veil I’ve pierced so for. And it wasnt until level 4 over the summer in Samadhi was where I really began to relax a little more into the realizations I was having outside of Samadhi for about a year prior. And at the monastic centre when Lama brought this topic to the surface.. what haunted me came out exactly like u described.. I would have glimpses of clarity n then the relative truth mind would quickly find it way through n I would plung into “dualistic type ego realm 3D thinking”.. and it would end with .. “if God is a loving n forgiving god we won’t have suffering (lowest level of thinking when I didn’t “understand or know who or what God is). What god could witness such horrors n not do anything about it eventually became the ultimate question for me.
As I evolved (happening at a rapid pace by this poubt), I thought thete has to b more to this if monks sees it a certain way..why can’t I.. questions within questions of self examination.. Universe played a game n put me in the driving seat.. Frances knowing n understanding the darkness in the depths as I did.. if given the power.. HOW WOULD I FIX IT.. IF THERE was something to be fixed.. many channellings later layer upon layer I saw EVERYTHING… and the depths of understanding was enough to send me into a minor tailspin.. I no longer saw ANYTHING AS GOOD OR BAD.. NOT ONLY WAS MY SIGHT SO CLEAR BUT I WAS LITERALLY experiencing it. The more I saw the greater my UNDERSTANDING, N COMPASSION GREW.. I realuzed that EVERYTHING had its plave in existence based on where they were at in their journeys and it’s experience was based on its previous life path (possibility that the prey was a former predator) in their previous life, I saw with great clarity as lessons upon lessons revealed themselves to me.. I knew I was in a different level of mind.. THE ULTIMATE, and from this I extracted so much wisdom.. that by the time I returned home (surprisingly still in Samadhi), I had what I call my experience n conversation with God.. because I had realized/learnt the depths of differences of seeing through the 3D blocked eyes, to seeing through the eyes of god, to BECOMING and and showing/reflecting bavk the eye to itself (I had realized that the eye cannot SEE ITSEKF), And I was given an opportunity to reflect it back to itself with DERP UNCONDITIONAL UNDERSTANDING N COMPASSION beyond anything I can describe here..
This was where I experienced THE ULTIMATE PERSPECTIVE ON HUMANITY. The wisdom findings were so powerful i began applying it with my clients right away.. I’ve also managed to upgrade my already powerful workshop content.. website etc as I merged with this new state to begin SHOWING UP.. I’m certain this played a role in thev60 days of reflection/tests I was being put through to TEST info can hold this level of “sight/perspective ” no matter what was thrown in front of me..
So 2 things i want to share.. I have experienced the divine beings WISDOM as each of them/their consciousness awakened within me. Therefore rather than seeing them as “habits” – I see and experience them ALL.. Shiva, Buddha etc as different states of consciousness dancing together within me.. and the KEY is AWARENESS and BALANCE Recognizing which Deities state of consciousness is at play.. wht etc etc.. the ultimate key is ALL OF THEM DANCING TOGETHER of course.. I have found depending on planetary alignment atm I have awakened Shiva’ s creativity as I’m SHOWING UP.. and each deity is within us and experienced as a different state of consciousness.. imagine what happens n the possibilities when you line them up all together with this realizations.. it’s why I haven’t been SLEEPING..lol..
2) I think you caught me..lol.. cause when I experienced God.. of course I used the opportunity to show the eye it’s entire self with great depths of understanding, COMPASSION, empathy, love and ULTIMATE FORGIVENESS because thete was nothing to forgive at this depth/level of understanding. We went on a journey with me as the vessel n my compassionate/understanding eye as it’s WITNESSED ITSELF .. ??.. in ALL OF ITS FORMS.. AS PREDATOR, PREY, TO ITS HIGHEST EXPRESSION OF LOVE REFLECTED THROUGH ME, We travelled to ALL the places in the world THAT I wanted it to see.. HOW IT WAS EXPERIENCING ITSELF AND EXPRESSING ITSELF.. I was able to see because the eye cannot see itself it couldn’t see the way we do.. as raping being bad.. or pedophilia being bad.. while not raping was good etc.. it doesn’t understand this language of goid bad etc.. that’s all 3D.. so no matter WHAT WE DO IN 3D we CANNOT SOLVE ANYTHING etc.. SO Africa, China, India, Canada, US, Amazon.. many counties the eye got to witness itself.. I PLAYED THE ROLE OF EGO SO IT CAN FEEL the experiences that was familiar to me like when I was molested etc.. or when I felt like doing bad things myself due to twisted desire driven by my painbody etc.. it was a journey.. and before coming out of it.. we go to the last part of what u wrote..
The RELATIVE IDEA OF PERFECTION..Now that the eye has seen and experienced n witnessed itself.. of course sadness emerged n the temptation to ANNIHILATE ITSELF emerged.. DEATH SUDDENLY FELT like the greatest thing that could possibly happen.. IF THAT MEANT NO MORE SUFFERING.. leading to the COLLAPSE OF EVERYTHING INTO A SINGULAR ONE.. IS THAT SO BAD IF THAT MEANT THE END OF SUFFERING FOR ALL ?
Who exactly or what wants to become the Buddha? Thinking everything is perfect n has the DESIRE TO EVOLVE?
“DESIRE” being the KEY word in this question..
Francesca Murray I loved “I realized that EVERYTHING had its plave in existence based on where they were at in their journeys and it’s experience was based on its previous life path”
Who indeed should desire to become a buddha? Along those lines, who is actually capable of “becoming” a buddha? No-one I think. You cannot become something you already are, and, you cannot become something that requires you to not be (different ‘yous’).
If death meant no more suffering, indeed that would be a strong desire, and in fact it is the belief of the materialists that when we die, it’s sweet sweet nothing, like deep dreamless sleep. Of course the problem with that is that energy cannot be created or destroyed, so what indeed happens to your 2nd order habit form? Nothing? Not likely. So death is not likely to be freedom from suffering, and if we accept that, it should create the drive, motivation inside of us to act now, to show up, and make the future better for the future instances of our 3D manifestations. Otherwise, what’s the point of it all? if not to improve? Improve towards an ideal that is unattainable, not because we can actually get there, but because it’s the motion that matters, the improvement that is the actual goal, not the end state.
