Perfectly Imperfect
In her book "Transformation Soup", Sark writes about the time Rosie O'Donnell appeared on her talk show with one long hair on her chin with a tiny bead attached to it. People were both fascinated and horrified by it. Fascinated because it was very different, but horrified because, according to Sark, it revealed an imperfection. Usually, if you ask people directly, they will admit that they are not perfect. Nonetheless, many, if not all of us, spend a good deal of time hiding imperfections. The ideal, or perfect, woman doesn't have facial hair so it has to be removed or hidden. Many Americans are shocked when they visit some European countries such as France or Germany for the first time and see women who don't shave their legs. Those women don't see it as an imperfection, so it isn't hidden. We die our hair, have plastic surgery or Botox injections, etc. to hide those imperfections.
On the spiritual side, we are also imperfect, every one of us. That is why none of us can take it for granted that when we die we will go to Heaven. We all have to work at it and, for best results, work with a spiritual teacher or school.

I for one started my conscious spiritual journey when I was about 17 or so. I'm now 48 and I'm still on that journey. It never ends, it's a continuing process. It reminds me of that saying, The more I learn the more I realize I don't know. It's very humbling.

Yes, and, the other side of that, according to most spiritual teachers is, we never learn anything really new, we just remember what we did know long ago.
