Is Perfection Really the Enemy of Good?

Most people know my back story when it comes to religion. I was born into Roman Catholicism, and I held on to most of that foundation as I grew older.

In 2007, I was 27, and my search for more began. As, I began to learn about all the other religions and religious practices out here, the solar cross caught my attention.

You’d have to either be blind or in outright denial to dismiss the fact that Catholicism, and not only Catholicism, but many religions have their roots set in paganism. And that’s okay, it’s the paganism aspect that I love so much.

So, I began to pay attention to how the sign of the cross is made in church, forehead, belly button, left shoulder, right shoulder. That resembles the cross design of the crucifixion, but why make that cross when it symbolizes conflict and distress.

Why not make the solar cross that resembles a mathematical plus sign, since it does also represent the God? That’s forehead, solar plexus, left shoulder, and right shoulder.

The answer to that is because there are people who truly believe that perfection is the enemy of good. The solar cross is perfectly proportionate. It’s a plus sign. A lot of people don’t realize it, and forgive them Father for they know not what they do, but they make this imperfect cross in a rebellious act against perfection thinking they’re doing the right thing. BUT PEOPLE! Look at your bodies. You’re God’s creation, made in his image, and you’re perfectly proportionate! Look around you at nature. Everything is perfect, and precision is absolutely necessary for life to exist.

In the true teachings of Christ, we learn Jesus encouraged the people to not be like him, but to learn from him. He didn’t want to be worshipped, he wanted you to be yourself, and be confident in your abilities to do all the wonderful things he was capable of doing.

It took 17 years on this spiritual path that began in 2007 (which isn’t over), for me to finally understand where the roots of my faith were. I’m self-initiated. I’ve seen enough during prayer and meditation to know this. I’ve seen it in my birth chart as well.

But, I’m not bragging or anything like that, I’m just excited at how far I’ve come and how much I’ve learned over the last 17 years. When you set out on a journey not knowing what to expect or where it will lead, you begin to get a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when those things are finally revealed.
