The Father of All Perfection

The One Thing as the source of all that is complete and whole.

The One Thing is called the father of all perfection because all that achieves completion does so by participating in its nature. It is telesma - the completed work - the goal toward which all things aspire.

The father of all perfection in the whole world is here.

Hermes Trismegistus, The Emerald Tablet

Perfection means completion, the fulfillment of potential.
