Perfect By Divine Virtue

Imagine, if you will, a deer in the forest, standing quietly as the sun rises overhead. The deer dips its head to take a cool sip of water from a fresh mountain stream. The sound of birds singing and the resplendent myriad of light, colors, and aromas dance all around its head. In this moment, the deer is not consumed by thoughts of inadequacy or personal shortcomings. It does not scent the air to check for disapproval from others in the herd, nor does it worry about how to be seen as better or different from its peers. Its might and majesty lie in its very existence, as natural and pure as all things in creation.

This deer, like all entities of Divine Creation, is perfect by design. It exists without shame or the need for improvement, desiring only to be itself within its own realm. The deer does not wish to be the bird, nor does it envy the wolf, the bear, or the toad. It will spend its life in pursuit of nothing that is imperfect, for it craves nothing outside its nature. In its existence, it denies nothing of its own being. The deer simply is, and in this state, it is whole and perfect.

Unlike the deer, mankind often feels disconnected from the natural order of the universe. Humanity, with its vast capacity for thought and reflection, often sees the least of the world’s wonder and splendor. This disconnect leads to suffering, as we compare ourselves to others, fear rejection, and see ourselves as broken or incomplete. The shame, self-denial, addiction, and isolation that plague us are born from a false image of ourselves, molded by society’s unnatural expectations.

The core teaching of The American Temple of Mortalism is this: perfection lies in self-acceptance and being utterly without thought of becoming something outside our nature. Like the deer, we are perfect when we embrace our true selves and live in harmony with our inherent nature. The secret to perfection, known to all creatures except man, is this simple yet profound truth: to be perfect is to be oneself, without shame or desire to be anything else.

We invite you to rejoice in this revelation and embark on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance. The teachings of The American Temple of Mortalism offer a path to reconnect with eternity, to find peace and perfection within yourself.
