Perfections
We learn from this virtual dimension that all aspects and forms
of essence are nothing but the absolute, inherent in the very
fabric of the absolute. They are its inherent, implicit, nondifferentiated,
and nonmanifest perfections. When they manifest they are basically
the manifestation of the inherent perfections of the absolute
appearing differentiated and explicit. They are always the absolute
appearing in its various perfections. The hidden treasure is simply
revealed, as the inherent perfections of the mystery of Being.
(Inner Journey Home, pg 418)
Perfections and individual uniqueness
The soul is not only an expression of coemergent Being, for everything
is an expression; she is a special kind of expression. She has
the potential to consciously experience herself as an expression
of Being and to consciously experience and know Being in its totality;
hence she is the only individual manifest form we know that has
such potential. Also, she has the potential to become an individual
replica of the personal Being, as an integrated totality, an individual
soul, a real person. Furthermore, this development is always unique.
No two souls develop identically, though they begin with fundamentally
the same potential. Because of this each soul possesses a unique
function in the totality of Reality, with a specific contribution,
and an original combination of qualities. (Inner Journey Home,
pg 455)
Perfections and essential ground
Thus the essential ground, the coemergence of non-conceptual
awareness and basic knowledge, possesses implicit qualities that
we refer to as its perfections. In its nondifferentiated and fundamental
mode it implicitly possesses peace, love, compassion, truth, authentic
existence, pleasure, joy, strength, will, clarity, intelligence,
impeccability, purity, contentment, fulfillment, satisfaction,
spaciousness, and so on. They are not explicitly recognizable,
but the presence feels complete and does not lack any of these
qualities that the soul always needs. (Inner Journey Home, pg
134)
