Yes, it\u2019s true.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re perfect the way you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, so perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re actually the universe playing you, in the universe, looking for the universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s really nothing to do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s all exactly the way it\u2019s supposed to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This moment couldn\u2019t have been any different than it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blah blah blah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, cool sometimes, or maybe often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But not all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that means you can also feel angry and vengeful and twisted as fuck, and it will not take away any points from your spiritual certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you want to push your fridge through the window, and crush the asshole neighbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you\u2019d wish to do unspeakable things to defenseless little creatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you\u2019d like nothing more than burn your sad ole collection of self-help books and DVDs (depending on how long you’ve been playing the game).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cause here\u2019s the thing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfection is not \u2018some sort of perfect perfection’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not the perfection with the golden lining and the eternal smile and the soft indigenous boots and the sage quietly burning in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can be totally fucking fed up with pretending to be spiritual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or holy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or divine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even while you still are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the divine is ALWAYS divine, even if you feel horrible and ready to torch the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you just want to scream because you\u2019ve run out of mindfulness energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you wanna punch the guru\u2019s face, twenty times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And no matter how hard you try to be a bad girl or a no-good boy, you\u2019re still perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isn\u2019t it fucking infuriating?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
