Hey love. I’m running an experiment that proves "perfect" is a scam the world plays you.What if the essence of "BE-ing COMPLETE" is the real superpower?What is perfectionism, really?FIRST ETYMOLOGY. I’ve created a habit of looking at teh true essence of a word, to remove the evolution of “SPELLS” that change the words meaning over years of interpretation. Looking back to the early 13th century, “perfection” meant a consummate, finished state—something so excellent that nothing was lacking, nothing left to desire.It was about flawlessness, COMPLETION.But as the centuries rolled on, perfectionism shifted into something more: a relentless urge for flawlessness, correctness, for achieving some outer standard set by invisible authorities.Here’s the BIG POINT:Perfectionism has become a tool of “power dynamics.”We internalize the idea that we have to prove our worth by performing—by living up to someone else’s idea (OR OUR OWN CRAZY EXPECTATIONS) of perfect action.Standards get set outside of us, and we start dancing to their tune.We’re told the rules, we’re graded, measured, always aiming for the bar that keeps moving just out of reach.It permeates systems of achievement, the workplace, religion—almost everything is rigged to constantly pull us outside of ourselves for validation.So, what happens?We slowly start to negate our own inner truth.The 1-800-MUST-BE-PERFECT calls the subconscious and the internal search for self-worth gets wrapped up in a neverending chase for approval and flawless performance, always determined by someone or something else.Even as we begin our spiritual journeys and start trusting ourselves a little more, those ingrained habits of judgment—the old right-and-wrong, good-and-bad mindset—can keep us trapped.Essentially, you’re living outside-in.TRUST ME. There’s another way to release this unconscious rat race destroying your joy.As we peel back these layers, something transformational begins to happen.We rediscover discernment.Unlike judgment, which is harsh and external, discernment is about witnessing what’s true for us in each living moment.It’s subtle but profound: a felt sense, a resonance, an inner alignment.Instead of asking, “Am I perfect?” we start to ask, “Am I complete, right now?”When we let go of perfectionism as some external finish line, we step into participation with life that is whole, balanced, and authentic.We become the authority of our own experience, finding completion in the present, even when things are messy or unfinished on the outside.So, here are the questions that become our new compass:What do I want, truly?How do I begin now?What’s my next step?Am I complete in this experience, in this moment?When judgment drags us out of presence, we can gently come back to these questions—back to ourselves.The difference is subtle but life-changing.Here’s a simple example:Let’s say you bought a course because a friend insisted it would change your life.You started, but then got busy, or distracted by another book or podcast.Guilt whispers, “I spent the money, I should finish.”But if you pause and ask, “Am I complete with this, right now?”, the experience stops being a test of failure or worth.It just becomes an experience—not another metric to judge yourself by.This shift—this move from outward striving to inward knowing—has deep roots in the history of spiritual wisdom.In ancient times, this was known as Gnosis.The word “Gnosis” simply means knowledge, but in Gnostic traditions, it carries a far deeper meaning: it’s the intuitive, experiential knowledge of the soul, the direct knowing of our spiritual essence.Gnostics understood that true liberation wasn’t about following commandments and dogmas set by institutions, but about discovering the divine spark within ourselves—an inner truth found in lived experience and contemplation.Contrast this with the outward focus of, say, the Ten Commandments of Christianity, which for millennia have drawn lines between inner and outer truth, between personal knowing and external authority.Much of what we call religious “truth” was actually a way of placing authority outside the individual, of hiding the deeper, direct knowing that is available to each of us.As we reclaim our birthright of Gnosis, we step into a very old, and very radical, way of being.It is not new; it is ancient wisdom that’s simply been forgotten, or hidden just below the surface.In the Gnostic texts—like the Gospel of Philip—we see a completely different map for awakening.The focus is on inner knowledge, not just faith or ritual.The Kingdom of God is not some future place, but an awakening within—a recognition that the “Light of Christ,” or the divine spark, lives in every person.True transformation is not about perfect behavior or future salvation; it’s about finding resurrection and newness of life within, while we’re still alive.One of the most beautiful ...
