Post #36 "The Case for Choosing Perfection"

There lies deep within humanity the desire to compete: to be the best to win the prize, to win the blue ribbon , to win the pennant , to win the election, the trophy, the award, the distinction, or the promotion and on and on. This desire to compete, ultimately, is the urge to compete for the prize of Perfection that is the basis for the desire to become God. This innate desire is born of creation and so, as creation, also undergoes the process of division.

Basically, the action of a power seeker is an action of division. The power seeker joins or forms a pack for the purpose of gaining the security and combined power generated by uniting. Having gained this pack security and consequential confidence, the person seeks leadership within, and then, over the pack.With leadership comes power. The power seeker, through the process of division, goes from one, centering in self, to group, returning to centering in self, to one-the one in control. Through division one moves from a single unit without power to membership within a unity, to leader- returning as a single unit with power, in a sense, attaining the perfection of the group. This urge manifests itself in the action of coming together, as in joining, for the purpose of benefiting from collective power. Having been empowered by the collective power of a relationship or a group, the next move is to strive for a position within the group, and then, for a higher position; again striving until the highest position is attained. If this goal of accumulating power within this group fails, the attempt is aborted and a new group is sought.

What appears as unity is actually division. Division is further noted as a group is formed by seeking identity by separating from the whole. The group sets itself apart from the whole and claims unity, ignoring its action as divisive-the sense of a few against the many. Division occur on many levels, all break-offs and break-downs in all levels of Creation. Civilization results from creation's process of division as one group competes for the title of The Perfection, breaks off from humanity as the whole, becomes its own unity, and then raises up its own God as its identity.
