Perfection - ‘Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect’

08/02/2025

Jesus said, ‘Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.’ There is a great deal to say about the notion of perfection. When children begin to attend school, for instance, they need to be ‘perfect’. That is, they need arms and legs, eyes, ears and a brain that function properly. If they have a physical or mental disability, everything is much more difficult for them. They cannot make normal progress if their physical and psychic organs are not in good working order. Similarly, when Initiatic Science teaches that human beings must be perfect, it means first and foremost that their psychic and spiritual organs must be well developed and in good working order. Only if this is the case can human beings strive for the perfection of God, who is omniscient, all-loving and almighty. A certain number of you have reached this first degree of ‘perfection’ that makes it possible, if you work hard at it, to evolve and—after many reincarnations—attain the perfection of God Himself. So, we have to be perfect in order to become perfect!*
