The Perfect Human Being

so here we are, slowly moving up the chakras.  Very slowly, because even if I define the seven levels, we have to stop and ask about the interactions of those levels.  In a writing sense, we can use the seven chakras to visualize a "perfect" human being (all seven chakras flowing energy smoothly), then "damage" our character by throwing blocks inone or another chakra.  In other words, a "perfect" human being would be (modified for age):
1) In love with life and unafraid of death
2) Have a powerful sexual drive uncomplicated by guilt, blame, or shame
3) Have a perfect lean hunter-gatherer body, and a level of physicality capable of great athleticism, tremendous energy, and a deep sensuality.  Mistress of her environment: capable of generating enough financial resources to raise a large family.  A tigress in defense of her home, children, or home-land.
4) An open, loving heart capable of deep and lasting commitment to a partner.  In the vast majority of cases, this will eventually manefest in a monogamous lifetime relationship that becomes a spiritual mirror for the journey of life.
5) Capable of honest, open communication.  Fearless self-expression and introspection.  A lifelong thirst for understanding, unending education.  The drive to share and advance knowledge.
6) A keen intellect, capable of synthesizing information from a wide range of sources.  Knows something about everything, and everything about something.  Built-in error checking to assure the accuracy of the reality map.
7) A sense of connectedness to the entire universe.  Perhaps a connection to some religious community--not to be bound by their dogma, but to have a place to contribute energy and aliveness, to help others along the path.  Fearless faith in the divine order.

I know that these are the goals to which I aspire.  Every day, I compare myself to this model, and attempt to improve by 1%.   I will never balance them perfectly, but sometimes, just for a moment, I glimpse who I really am...what all of us truely are.  And am humbled and exhilarated by that glimpse.

Quite impressed by your accomplishments..I too, am an athlete (soccer, basketball, muay thai, jiu jitus. m/c racing), budding writer, composer and musician....
I do these things to attain perfection (i.e. achieve balance in a wide array of fields), and i actually find that (interestingly enough), imrpovement in one area automatically (even magically) transcends into ascension in another.
Anyway, good to know that there are others out there who strive for perfection
