As a mental health professional with 20+ years experience, now retired, I can honestly say I've never heard it said better!! Congrats!! God Bless you.

Answer 2

Your question raises the question,'In what way, are we perfecting those 'alleged' cracks'.

Are we trying to seal them shut, so we continue living in our Sheltered and Protected Little Environment.
OR
Are we trying to prevent, those who are trying to shut us in. By loosening, the sealant on that crack,
so that there is a permanent hole there, and everytime there's a shower or a movement that crack becomes larger.
OR
Are the Cracks, a Part of Us and no matter. How hard the sealant is appliad there will always be a crack of some description, there

Answer 3

Rena,

It is important to understand that we are supposed to accept our defects, but it really depends on our individual objectives in life and how we want to relate to others, in regards our relationships with others. Some defects, our shadows can bring darkness in others lives, so wanting to be the change so it can invoke others to have better lives, this is beneficial in many ways that are not fully understood by many.

I read your question in a reversal manner, like a negative photo. The Light is the true essence of an individual, what I could take from your question is that people often become reversed in their goals and they begin to focus on things which it isn't advantage. But then again if there is Light coming through a crack, then whatever is concealing the nature of the Light from flowing through them must be broken down and put in its place. Concrete or whatever it maybe that is cracked would be a construct.

The point is to you must be true to yourself, and BE. You must live things to your best ability and be conscious I your relationship with others. We work on ourselves through proxy with others, that's often how we come to see that which is defective in us. Cracks appear by reason of damage, damage is a result of an experience that causes a structural change, this occurs as one further sojourns through the experience of this world. But all you need do is apply the truth as you understand it, move among those in your life and apply and BE for them consciously. Everything you interact with has a reality within you, as you come to understand others and perceive through their perspective consciously, your engaging of them will begin to change and you will be developing whatever is in you by proxy. From this perspective the Light from the cracks could be seen in this way that our negative aspects, our weaknesses become our greatest strengths.

Just pushing perspectives out there.

Answer 4

We all struggle through our lifetime toward perfection. Our demands upon ourselves are unrealistic and can be our demons in life. If we give to ourselves, forgive ourselves and realize life is full of all its impurities, tainted by goals that are unattainable we would then be able to allow the light to shine through and let the cracks show, which is what life is, full of cracks, lines, curves and imperfections.

Answer 5

Yes, we are born perfectionists and the obstacles we do not see that retard our progress likewise block 'light'. Generally and without detailed specifications, in blocking the pains we feel spiritually we also block self reflection and that perfectionism becomes self destruction. The light quest goes on. In reality, they are not cracks, they are things for camouflage and the illusion for selfs self perceived continuity in identity. In terms of extra psychic phenomena, cracks may help to assure that phenomena is not trickery of the dementia, but the phenomenas affect to induce dementia may serve to obfuscate its own ontological certainty. Then you have mental illness. Jung, I believe, named it psychic inundation.

Answer 6

i love how you put it. i guess its true real beauty really comes out through our little imperfections and flaws. the cracks allow our weakness's, our soft corners, our imperfections to come out and hiding them all makes us just seem inhuman and almost kinda dull. the light within us is what makes humans different from any other of God creations cause that light allows us to feel, to believe and then to evolve.

Answer 7

Hi Rena, I agree that i can be to self analysing . i look at myself to closely and i pull myself up hard. yes through the cracks in us, light escapes through the cracks. meaning we should look more closely at our good side. and follow GOD.

Answer 8

Yes. We all have a desire to be self-accepted, but at times, become too absorbed in what others may think. Light shines in all of us if we take moments to recognize it.

Answer 9

Sometimes we can get that obsessed. You point out the beauty of human imperfection; and that imperfection in and of itself won't let us to seal every crack... hope springs eternal.

Peace
