“The universe is perfect. I am perfect.”
We cannot go where God is not, and where God is, all is well.

“In Paradigm-B Transcendence seems to involve a process [plus] time and effort and we seem to be going someplace. [Paradoxically however] in Paradigm-A, there is no process and no time involved because we are already having a perfect experience.”[i]
The topic of time leads us into the realm of paradox when mystics like Blake and Krishnamurti assert that “the very idea of a spiritual path is necessarily self-defeating, because it does the one thing that has to be undone if there is to be awakening to eternity; it concentrates attention firmly on ‘futurity’… any purposes along the line of time, great or small, are subordinate to the divine satisfaction that is always present in each eternal instant.”[ii]
“The idea that we are a perfect part of a perfect creation is admittedly a hard sell given that there ‘seems’ to be so much evidence to the contrary. A close and penetrating examination using our intuition will, however, support the truth of this wonderfully outrageous contention.”[iii]
“Belief in the perfection of Creation is a prerequisite to an experience of that perfection. The mind can assist in preparing the foundation for that experience, but it cannot create that experience. The experience will emerge on its own as our natural state. Let us be mindful in our transformative practice [Point of Power Practice] in preparing the foundation for an experience of Simple Reality [Paradigm-A].”[iv]
Insight # 95 comes to us from Roy Charles Henry (b. 1938). He is the creator of The Simple Reality Project.
“So what is The Great Paradox again? It is simply this. The universe is perfect. I am perfect. There is nothing to do, have or know.”[v]
