Thank you, sylvanheart, for your heartfelt feedback as always. I very much appreciate such exchanges as they present valuable reflections. So I had to re-read my own words once more and just felt to make it clear - what I was saying is not that by acknowledging and accepting myself the way I am and not needing to be perfect means the work is done.

Rather, the opposite. I know myself as being highly demanding of myself. If some of my creations don’t meet my own high standard (of quality, as an example), they will never see the daylight. It closes the way to sharing divine gifts with others. My current inner work is to focus on dissolving such blockages. By acknowledging and accepting myself as imperfect, I can open myself up to a deeper inquiry, but without the neediness to be fixed. And then some right expression will land (without a struggle), and I will find a motivation to put it out there without over-analysing the value of it (my “favourite” – “what’s the point of doing this and that”). So, yes, here is Asya’s “life struggle” behind the scenes 🙂

But what fascinates me most of all is how the Universe is presenting the synchronicities at the right time! I’ve read sylvanheart’s comment, but felt to leave for the next day to respond. It happens that I am re-reading the 5GATEWAYS book right now. So, the same night, later, when reading the book, I turn the next page, and here it is what I read:

“… you may be forgiven for thinking “This is it, I’ve found what I’m looking for, there is no need for me to do anything else, all I have to do is to be.” If only life were so simple! As St Augustine said…
“If thou shouldst say it is enough, I have reached perfection
all is lost, for it is the function of perfection,
to make one know one’s imperfection”.”

And then it goes further on the next page:

“It is about having freedom from society’s demands for a given outcome, so that you may flow spontaneously with the formlessness of universal consciousness and respond uniquely as the moment truly requires…

…When you are truly walking the path in this way, you discover it is one of divine service: service to your higher self and to all life – there is simply no difference between the two.
This does not mean however a kind of wishy washy non committal attitude to life. Not at all! It means diving into the fullness of who you truly are and unleashing the unbridled expression of that in every moment. It is then that you find yourself riding on the wave of the divine.”

(It is the Gateway 2)
I just love how the universe responds to the inquiry!

The soul's evolution is going in cycles, like the spiral stairs. It never ends. Thus, we (still "mortal" souls) never reach perfection.

With much love 💜🙏🏻
