Even our mind making distinctions is a part of this Great Perfection, not separate from it.
And even what is truly truly evil and that we must always reject as such is part of this Great Perfection.
And even this apparent sense of being lost and ignorant and in the dark, and having to seek a Truth we initially imagine is separate only to finally awaken to enlightenment, which is paradoxically a simple noticing of what was there all along; every step of this whole process is part of the Great Perfection.

Ya, I “saw” it in a “mystical” experience.
All there is is God.
All there is is Love.
There is a creative movement out and back within the being of God.
It is Seamless and Perfect.

All is Perfect
What if we could somehow manage to see everything in the entire universe as being exquisitely beautiful, like the finest piece of great art? What if we right now saw every single thing and event, without exception, as an object of extraordinary beauty?
Why, we would be momentarily frozen in the face of that vision; all of our grasping and avoiding would come momentarily to rest; we would be released from the self-contraction and ushered into the choiceless contemplation of all that is. Just as a beautiful object or artwork momentarily suspends our will, so the contemplation of the universe as an object of beauty would open us to the choiceless awareness of that universe, not as it should be or might be or could be, but simply as it is.
Could it then be possible, just possible, that when the beauty of al1 things without exception is perceived, we are actually standing directly in the eye of Spirit, for which the entire Kosmos is an object of Beauty, just as it is, precisely because the entire Kosmos is in fact the radiant Art of Spirit itself?
In this extraordinary vision, the entire Kosmos is the Artwork of your own highest Self in all its shining creativity, which is exactly why every object in the universe is in truth an object of radiant Beauty when perceived with the eye of Spirit.
And conversely: if you could right here, right now, actually see every single thing and event in the entire universe as an object of sheer Beauty, then you would of necessity be undone as ego and stand instead as Spirit. You would want nothing from the Kosmos at that moment except to contemplate its unending Beauty and Perfection. You would not want to run from the universe, or grasp it, or alter it at all: in that contemplative moment you will neither fear nor hope, nor move at all. You will want nothing whatsoever, except to Witness it all, contemplate it unendingly, you want it never to end. You are radically free of will, free from grasping, free from all mean motion and commotion. You are a center of pure and clear awareness, saturated in its Being by the utter Beauty of everything it contemplates.
Not a single particle of dust is excluded from this Beauty; no object whatsoever, no matter how “ugly” or “frightening” or “painful”– not a single thing is excluded from this contemplative embrace, for each and every thing is radically, equally, unendingly, the brilliant radiance of Spirit. When you behold the primordial Beauty of every single thing in the universe, then you behold the glory of the Kosmos in the eye of Spirit, the I of Spirit, the radical I-I of the entire universe. You are full to infinity, radiant with the light of a thousand suns, and all is perfect just as it is, always and eternally, as you contemplate this, your greatest Artwork, the entire Kosmos, this thing of Beauty, this object of unending joy and bliss radiant in the Heart of all that arises.
Think of the most beautiful person you have ever seen. Think of the exact moment you looked into his or her eyes, and for a fleeting second you were paralyzed: you couldn’t take your eyes off that vision. You stared, frozen in time, caught in that beauty. Now imagine that identical beauty radiating from every single thing in the entire universe: every rock, every plant, every animal, every cloud, every person, every object, every mountain, every stream—even the garbage dumps and broken dreams—every single one of them, radiating that beauty. You are quietly frozen by the gentle beauty of everything that arises around you. You are released from grasping, released from time, released from avoidance, released altogether into the eye of Spirit, where you contemplate the unending beauty of the Art that is the entire World.
That all-pervading Beauty is not an exercise in creative imagination. It is the actual structure of the universe. That all-pervading Beauty is in truth the very nature of the Kosmos right now. It is not something you have to imagine, because it is the actual structure of perception in all domains. If you remain in the eye of Spirit, every object is an object of radiant Beauty. If the doors of perception are cleansed, the entire Kosmos is your lost and found Beloved, the Original Face of primordial Beauty, forever, and forever, and endlessly forever…

The Plan is perfect.
The design is exquisite.
And the nature of all reality is love.
Emmanuel, Emmanuel’s Book p.141
The universe bursts forth and then is reabsorbed, yet its Source is ever-living, like a Sun that never sets; and who can hide from that which never sets? That eternal Intelligence in man is forever beyond change; it is God. To God all things are beautiful, good and just, but men see some things to be just, and others unjust.
One should understand that the world appears by the opposition of forces; order exists in the world by this play of contraries. We would never have heard of “right” if we did not know of “wrong;” whole and not-whole, united-separate, consonant-dissonant, — all these are interdependent. But in the One, above and below are the same, just as beginning and end are one in the circumference of a circle. That which is in conflict is also in concert; while things differ from one another, they are all contained in the most beautiful Unity.–Heraclitus, The History of Mysticism By S. Abhayananda pp. 92-93
I saw that everything, just as it is now, is IT—is the whole point of there being life and a universe…Each thing, each event, each experience in its inescapable nowness and in all its own particular individuality, was precisely what it should be, and so much so that it acquired a divine authority and originality. It struck me with the fullest clarity that none of this depended on my seeing it to be so; that was the way things were, whether I understood it or not, and if I did not understand, that was IT too.
Allan Watts, What is Enlightenment By John White p. 21
The world is not imperfect or slowly evolving along a long path to perfection. No, it is perfect at every moment…Everything is necessary, everything needs only agreement, my assent, my loving understanding; then all is well with me and nothing can harm me. –Herman Hesse, Siddhartha
If you become part of the movie, you think that you go from imperfection to imperfection to imperfection. What you’re actually witnessing is perfection moving to perfection, to perfection, to perfection. You’re witnessing that creation and evolution are one and the same thing. Creation doesn’t go from imperfection to perfect, and neither does evolution. –Dr. David Hawkins
Grace is the fabric of God’s Consciousness. It is eternal love. Everything is Grace.
