Define the completion of infinity? Is completeness without capacity or function? How is inactivity the result of the realization of infinite capacity?
Let me ask you, why then does the Law of One, actually in this very passage, also discuss healing, which in this same passage, they define as a realization (meaning consciousness coming to some unconscious part, a process that takes steps) of the wholeness and completeness. This suggests to me that there is, in the idea of the conscious/unconscious, the mechanism of balancing which gives explanation to the effort required by the self. Does not the Creator exert infinite effort in all of its creation?
In the end, it really comes down to what you define as "spiritual progress". No, there is absolutely no reason to put any effort in to spiritual progress, and this is precisely the reason the complexity of the illusion and the veil were created in the patterns of consciousness, so that there was incentive for effort to be put in so that work may be done. How can one polarize towards doing more work without doing any work? That just doesn't make any physical sense.
You can spend the rest of your existence in the womb of this perfect awareness, by all means, you are free to do so. Will you experience all there is to experience as the self in this state? Likely not. Is there any requirement for you to? Absolutely not. There is no requirement of you to do anything and you are absolutely right, perfection demands nothing.
Yet, you still include in your perception an idea of conscious and unconscious, and that there is some correlation between your awareness and the state of responsibility you have towards the desires of others. Let me ask you, has it taken absolutely no effort to get your mind to the point it is at now? I am sure you will say it hasn't, that all the effort has been inherent, and you are right, but is it not also true that your mind has not always been this way? You have not always held this same perspective? Did it take you effort (whether illusory or not) to get from your previous perception to the one you are at now? Have you not gone through trial and error and continuous experimentation to reveal the fruits of truth you are now enjoying?
If you ask me, you are not giving much acknowledgement to your own progress. Has that not been a process? How, being complete the entire time, have you managed to experience change, or emergence? Does not infinity include all change and all process?
Does not acceptance also include acceptance of the side of existence, of the illusion, that is 'not well'?
I agree that everything is well, and nothing HAS to be done, but in that, there is everything to be done. The Creator has no time limits in its experience of itself, it will fulfill its need for every experience and that means that every single manner of effort or lack of effort will be exercised.
In conclusion, since there is no effort, as you say, then your assumption that it is possible for others to "exert too much effort" is completely unfounded and defeated by your own point that everything is perfect, complete and whole. Also, as you have said in other situations, there is no need for one to be in any way aware of the Law of One to be perfect, complete and whole, as that is inherent, so really any amount of effort anyone exerts, big, small, or completely without is still part of that individual's completeness and perfection. How can you assert your own perfection and complete lack of need of any change, and still advocate that others are "unwise" and needing to change? That is completely contradictory.

Quote:Consider, if you will, the tendency of those who are divinely happy, as you call this distortion, to have little urge to alter or better their condition. Such is the result of the mind/body/spirit which is not complex. There is the possibility of love of other-selves and service to other-selves, but there is the overwhelming awareness of the Creator in the self. The connection with the Creator is that of the umbilical cord. The security is total. Therefore, no love is terribly important; no pain terribly frightening; no effort, therefore, is made to serve for love or to benefit from fear.
