This sounds to me like New Age jargon. No offense intended. Off-world entities like Ra may be able to really embody this idea. But, down here in the trenches, could anyone here be in Africa, and actually look at dying children starving and be okay with it, think it's perfect? Could anyone here watch, in person, innocent people (including babies and children) getting killed and worse, maimed and suffering, by various horrible means in war zones?
I understand the concept of envisioning everything as perfect. I endeavor to accept and not resist. But there is also acknowledgment to this Earth as a being, that we recognize her as a being who is respected. And that we take responsibility as a species for what we have done and do.
Seeing that all is perfect, all is whole, all is complete, and all is well... if someone can actually, genuinely see this, they are seeing the truth.
I get why, though, you would call it jargon (in reply to Minyatur) because this perspective may be super-imposed or plastered over top of the suffering, disharmony, and difficulty that one does not want to confront; or this perspective may be invoked as a means of avoiding the work one does not want to do.
It is an elevated perspective, and doesn't seem to be typically available to those, as you say, down in the trenches. But at the same time it isn't the thing of fantasy, or something awaiting us billions of years in the future. Any one of us can potentially awaken Buddha consciousness (or whatever the minimum grade of consciousness needed to see perfection in seeming imperfection).
And from that perspective, the Buddhic (?) entity can see precisely the scenes you're describing - including starvation in Africa and the innocent and horrific casualties of war - and understand completely and fully that all is well, all is perfect.
The reason for this, as far as I can gather, is that such an entity has awakened to the undergirding Creator, that which is untouched by any of the phenomenal events within the world.
It would be like waking in the morning from your own nighttime dreaming, and reflecting on all the carnage and slaughter you had witnessed so vividly during your dream. You would realize instantly that each person you saw suffering in your dream was only a temporary form. Their seeming individualized experience and emotions were real within the context of the dream, but upon awakening, you realize each individual was just you, and that YOU are greater than any form, and whatever the contents of the dream, you remain, more or less, untouched by the events therein.
Something like that, at least...
Such a one, though, doesn't take a position of indifference in relationship to the illusory events of the world, including starvation, because they have discovered the unity of all things. There is still, generally, the desire to serve and to assist other aspects of the One Self still in the dream to awaken to who they are. The service is just offered from a higher standpoint, from the most profund/powerful/fundamental level: the radiance of being.
