I would like to touch on the subject of perfection for a moment. In order to examine perfection, we must understand the limitations imposed upon us by our constantly moving world.
So often we are desirous to obtain perfection, and in some cases regardless of means and/or method, the task must be accomplished. It is kind of funny some the things one might hear associated with another individual seeking perfection, and/or, being so wrapped up in the idea, as to appear to be an obsession. After all, if we are not perfect, are we flawed?
To many of us, perfection can be perceived as the end result of our success and, our security.
So, let us consider the nature of perfection. To do this we must also examine the nature of our universe, the expression of law, as manifested, and in the nature of the human observation upon all things perceived.
If my memory of Geometry and Trigonometry serves me correctly, according to the rule of Cartesian coordinates, each point is theoretical. The dimension of the point is determined by the individual placing the point, without consideration as to the amount of space that the point occupies. For example, if I'm working from a two-dimensional plane, then the point I bring forward will not occupy space for it is incomplete to exist in this world of three dimensions. Therefore, the point, as described is theoretical in nature. One draws a horizontal line across the page and then a vertical line; they will meet at a point known as their intersection.
While we are observing this intersection, we also find to that is flat and two-dimensional, therefore taking up no space. Again for something to take up space there must be mass and/or three dimensions. Yet as we draw our line upon the page, it is the depth of the page and the ink that we use determines the occupation of space, not our two-dimensional lines.
What we have here, is a theoretical line devised in such a way as to make a theoretical intersection. When we draw the straight line which is a theoretical in nature for it is been shown by Einstein and others that all lines appearing to be straight are also affected by the nature of the environment, yet distorting around objects of mass. Again, physical perfection thwarted. For those seeking perfection, you can probably understand by the previous example is the frustration that one might have if that is their only goal.
We also have to consider another aspect of perfection that is not readily realized. If examine all things in this universe and the other galaxies, effects of light energy, all that fun scientific stuff, we find one thing that is quite puzzling. That is, if there was not some process bringing all things into their perfected balance, one thing would consume and/or destroy another in an attempt to obtain that which apparently did not exist.
So apparently, perfection exists, because, if it did not, the Universe would destroy itself.
Our problem is what is the nature of this perfection that seems to bind all things in perfect balance? And, why can't we have any of it? After all, I can go down to the frozen yogurt place, and have some Taro flavored yogurt that may cause me to expound to the perfection of the yogurt.
However, I would be incorrect in making such a statement, unless I considered another aspect regarding the definition of perfection.
If I were to draw a square, as a dimension the square were 3" x 3", and the thickness of the line I was to use was 2 mm, and the depth of line with one half of the average hair width of an Australian Aboriginal of Western Walkabout Creek area, then I can repeat the same square over and over again utilizing these defined points of measurement. So as I were to create a duplicate square, and it matched the original square defined be in the standard of by which perfection is standardized, then I could say that the second square that I produced was perfect!
With the previous examples in mind, we can pretty well deduce, obtainable perfection can only be done so with predefined conditions, creating a theoretical perfection, where the defined perfection is only in our minds.
However, there is another problem that presents itself here. And that is, perfection itself. As stated earlier, the universe is in perfect balance. To demonstrate, consider the ability to send a radio signal to a rover on Mars, and have the rover send pictures of Mars back here. It takes approximately 30 to 45 min. for a radio signal to travel from Earth to Mars at the speed of light. Now if he asked me, I don't think Marvin the Martian could do any better. Continuing, consider the nature of space. If space were really empty, then the photons and other energy sources from the Sun would never make it to Earth. The Sun would put out its energies and lights over a very short distance they would cease to exist. If space were truly empty.
We can say, that the universe and space is truly perfect, for the law by which governs all things is perfect in of itself, thereby encompassing all things, no matter what source and/or nature.
Therefore, since we are part of the whole and are not separate from it, then our desire to have perfection is one of our greatest illusions, believing we are without something that we have already have might be considered a little silly.
So, the next time you decide to lament as to what you don't have, consider what you do have. You have all of the perfect balance of the universe within, for your realization of the universe and all things existing are also within. After all, what part of life, and all the myriad of creatures existing within the universe does not exist within you? By virtue of your realization of their existence they are within, all conditions, life forms, thoughts, energies, and love, are within for if they were not, then you could not conceive of the attributes brought forth in this work.
Peace,
Charles

From Wikipedia
A Cartesian coordinate system specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances from the point to two fixed perpendicular directed lines, measured in the same unit of length. Each reference line is called a coordinate axis or just axis of the system, and the point where they meet is its origin, usually at ordered pair (0,0). The coordinates can also be defined as the positions of the perpendicular projections of the point onto the two axes, expressed as signed distances from the origin.
One can use the same principle to specify the position of any point in three-dimensional space by three Cartesian coordinates, its signed distances to three mutually perpendicular planes (or, equivalently, by its perpendicular projection onto three mutually perpendicular lines). In general, one can specify a point in a space of any dimension n by use of n Cartesian coordinates, the signed distances from n mutually perpendicular hyperplanes.
Cartesian coordinate system with a circle of radius 2 centered at the origin marked in red. The equation of a circle is (x - a)2 + (y - b)2 = r2 where a and b are the coordinates of the center (a, b) and r is the radius.
The invention of Cartesian coordinates in the 17th century by René Descartes (Latinized name: Cartesius) revolutionized mathematics by providing the first systematic link between Euclidean geometry and algebra. Using the Cartesian coordinate system, geometric shapes (such as curves) can be described by Cartesian equations: algebraic equations involving the coordinates of the points lying on the shape. For example, a circle of radius 2 may be described as the set of all points whose coordinates x and y satisfy the equation x2 + y2 = 4.
Cartesian coordinates are the foundation of analytic geometry, and provide enlightening geometric interpretations for many other branches of mathematics, such as linear algebra, complex analysis, differential geometry, multivariate calculus, group theory, and more. A familiar example is the concept of the graph of a function. Cartesian coordinates are also essential tools for most applied disciplines that deal with geometry, including astronomy, physics, engineering, and many more. They are the most common coordinate system used in computer graphics, computer-aided geometric design, and other geometry-related data processing.
