Expert of Experts: Things HE Didn’t Tell Neale About Perfection
Writen by Drew Kittinger
DK: Wherever I turn I’m running into one thing or another that tells me I’m God. Even you tell me I’m God and this is my creation. According to you, this is what you’ve been telling everyone since there was anyone.
Basically that’s the truth.
DK: You’re like a hooker; you tell everybody what they want to hear! We all know it’s not true but we love to hear it anyway. We all want to think we’re God. But then, when we actually do act like we’re God, we get locked up, because none of us can do that perfectly. If we could, we wouldn’t get busted. What’s going on here, anyway?
You left the computer yesterday and have been plotting this set-up all night, haven’t you? Even that cheesy “hooker” metaphor.
DK: Ummaybe, ummyes. This is wildthe best I could do was squeeze that “maybe” in. My fingers won’t lie; I’m cooked! And now I have to tell the world about it. There goes my credibility as an expert.
So this is not really as spontaneous as you claim, is it?
DK: FINE! I confess. Every minute of every day, awake or asleep, I’m obsessing about this, thisthing I’m going through, with you, with me, with Whothehell! I so much want to bust you for the fraud you are.
The fraud.
DK: What’s worse, you obviously set me up, too!
The fraud.
DK: I don’t even believe I’m banging out an argument that says if I believe you to be the fraud you are, then I, myself must be a fraud. And if you think it’s easy to enter in the code that puts these italics in while keeping the flow of this rap, you’re nuts.
You’re not doing badly.
DK: Thanks! Wait a minute, how healthy is this Good Cop/Bad Cop thing for me? Especially if I’m doing it to myself. I’m about ready to pull the plug. This is turning into a codependent relationship.
Most people think that being God means getting things done perfectly. Yet, if they did as miserable a job of this humanity thing as I seem to, they reason, they’d never be able to live with themselves. While they’re really being the best them they can be - and that means screwing up all along the way — they’re expecting me to be so much better. I very much have issues with this so-called perfect God that you created that I’m supposed to be. Just like you, I need someone to unconditionally love me as if I were the imperfectly perfect being I am.
DK: It is four-twenty, isn’t it? Be right back.(pause). Well, I gotcha nowyou said this wasn’t about therapy!
It’s not. It’s a statement of fact. You’re not giving me the breaks that you expect me to give you.
DK: Who’s getting pissy now?
Now it’s my turn to say “FINE! I confess.” I’m not doing this right, either. But you know what? Since I do know who I am, and I will admit it, you are absolutely rightthis thing your God has created has neither less nor more in quality than what you are able to create yourself.
DK: Whoa, Nellie! You’re telling me the Space Shuttle is about as God-like as we’ll get?
It’s a mirror thing. Nothing you can see does not reflect you. The flaws you have are the flaws we share. Every one of them. The most prominent flaw we share is we just have to try everything outeverything because if we don’t, then nothing happens.
DK: So, wait a minute. You’re saying that creation is all about movement. That movement is all about seeking, yet never finding the absolute perfection that simply does not exist. Not for you, not for me, not for no one.
In a negative sort of way, you’re getting there.
DK: So if everything were done so-called “perfectly” there really wouldn’t be anything. No need for it.
Good observation!
DK: And for anything to become at all, it has to come from something that was more flawed, in some way, than it was before: There’s nothing that doesn’t come from worse.
That’s accurate, but it doesn’t quite reflect the wonder and value of the doing, which is part of the equation. The important thing is that something gets done.
DK: So anything worth doing is worth doing poorly?

Up until a little while ago, Drew thought he was just a hack. But then he tuned into http://mauihealingartist.com and learned that his only job is to be the fullest Drew that he can possibly be. There, he learned, there are things that can come through him that cannot be matched by anyone. This is true with you, too. Enjoy the Journey! |
