You are Perfect
from High Vibes Living with Jennifer · host Jennifer Hoffman
https://enlighteninglife.com/you-are-perfect/I hear people saying ‘I am not perfect’ and ‘no one is perfect’ all of the time and it is irritating because it is not true. Everyone is perfect – all the time. No matter who they are or where they are in their life. The word perfect has been given a context that is not aligned with its original meaning and when you understand the true meaning of ‘perfect’ you will realize that not only are you perfect now, you have always been perfect, and there is no more perfect version of you than that which exists right now. Because I study words and their meanings and usage as a hobby, it’s called lexicology etymology, I frequently research how words are used versus their origins and what they actually mean. And because I speak multiple languages, I also pay attention to how they are derived from and used in different languages. Let’s look at the word ‘perfect’. To research it I asked 3 questions: Where does it come from? What does it mean? How does its true meaning differ from how it is used today? First, where does the word ‘perfect’ come from? It was first used around 1250AD and is from the Latin word ‘perfectus’, which means ‘finished’ or ‘completed.’ What does ‘perfect’ mean in its original context? That something is finished or completed. In Latin, perfectus is the past participle of the verb ‘perficere’ which means to finish. So if ‘perficere’ means to finish, then perfectus means it is finished. This brings us to the third question – how does its true meaning and original use differ from the current meaning and usage of the word ‘perfect?’ How did we get from ‘finished’ to the best that can possibly be, which is what we imply when we use the word perfect today. And this is why we say that ‘we are not perfect’ and that ’nobody is perfect’.

What this episode covers
We’re going through the energetic equivalent of a meteor storm now, on our way to new, uncharged territory. The events of the past few months and years have brought us to a point that is unique in our lives and in our collective history. We have never lived with some of the astro aspects that we have right now, and we are the first generations in 250 years to experience Pluto in Aquarius. If you are experiencing a lot of endings and the need for change now, go with it. Let it happen. You do not have to commit right now, just allow things to rise to the surface. What’s the next potential? What could be possible? This is a turning point, a tipping point, an inflection point, and our time to shine. In fact, the more we shine, the more blessings show up. After many years of challenges, I am ready for blessings. And on that topic, we need to bless ourselves first. This is about self-awareness, self-care, and self acknowledgement, which begins with owning who we are and the perfect state of our being. If you have been saying or thinking that you are not ‘perfect’ let me enlighten you with new information which will show you why that is not true.
