All Creation is caught up in the movement toward the achievement of Perfection; the movement to become god, the movement to become the God of Creation. But how achievable is this goal? Can anyone hope to achieve Perfection? Can anyone hope to become God? What do we do when the goal seems allusive and we fear that it may even be unattainable? What can we do? When the goal of 'who I will become' is looking unreachable, what else can we do but look for a new beginning, and then, another new beginning and beyond to other new beginning, over and over again....creating an end, creating endings, to allow for new beginnings.....creating Death to bring about new life...creating Death to bring about new beginnings. And so Time begins to tick, cycles begin and cycles end, each cycle another level, each new level growing to its death, over and over again.
And so the question becomes ever more insistent...'is this desire for Perfection, for becoming God ever attained?' Is it even attainable? What is it about this primal desire that is so fundamental to who we are? What is Desire? Desire is not impotent. Desire is Energy. The energy of desire results from, and leads to, increasing restlessness, which, if not satisfied, leads to frustration. Restlessness and frustration seek resolution which ultimately resolves in Choice. Choosing is the action and the purpose of Intellect. The Intellect Chooses. So it is that this movement from desire to Choice determines who we are at a most basic, fundamental level of Creation. Consequently, we become what we desire, we become what we Choose. Is this desire of becoming Perfect, of becoming the Perfection ever attained? Is the desire of becoming God ever attained? Is there any hope? Is the desire for Perfection and Godhood even attainable? How realistic are our aspirations? What happens if we fail? What happens when we fail?
We really have no choice but to Create-to Image that which we desire, that which we cannot bring about or fulfill any other way. We are Creators. We create Time, Place, and Matter from the energy of our desire. When we fail to become that which we desire-we Choose. We Choose to create. We become creators for we cannot give up the goal of our desire, the essence of what we are, the hope of what we could become. We become Image Makers. We create Time that we may 'become' for we cannot 'become' without Time, as Time is movement, Time is pulsation, Time is the beat that initiates a beginning and, consequently, demands an ending. Time begins life and Time demands death. We are Image makers. We are becoming, throughout Time, more skilled at our art of image making. With ever advancing technology, we are, indeed, perfecting the art of imagery. We are, indeed, perfecting our selves as Image Makers.
