Reflection of the Soul
Seeing the Looking Glass
Ever wonder what you look like? All the time I'm sure, several
times a day, but we just walk over to a mirror, and we find out.
But what if we didn't have any mirrors. In fact, what if there
was no way to see ourselves reflected in some other object? How
would we know what we look like without our reflection? We wouldn't.
We may be able to look at our hands and feet, even most of the
front of our body, but we wouldn’t ever know what our face
looks like. So how would we find out? From everyone else.
We would have to ask other people what we look like and ask them
to describe our features. They would have to describe the shape
of our eyes, nose, and mouth. They would tell us the color of our
hair and our eyes. If someone said we had similar features to someone
else, or maybe even looked just like some other person, by seeing
that person, we would understand what we look like.
We don't always see ourselves. We don’t always realize our
own behavior and we don’t always see our own actions and
thoughts. Has anyone said you act just like someone else, and you
don’t believe it? Has anyone pointed out your flaws, and
you accuse them of lying, maybe even being jealous and trying to
put you down? How many times have you given good advice, but not
followed your own? How many times do you hear someone's story,
and instantly know what they should do, and yet can't solve your
own problems? Even if this doesn’t describe you, I'm sure
you know plenty of people like this. There are so many amazing
people who don’t realize how wonderful, how beautiful, or
how important, strong, or inspiring they really are. We don’t
always see our true self. Good and bad traits alike, it’s
not always evident to ourselves.
That's where the mirrors come in. A mirror reflects light, and
that is what we all really are, and that is what God is… light.
God knew how difficult it would be for us to truly see ourselves.
But he knew how important it would be to know one’s self.
God needed to place some mirrors around so we could see ourselves.
An actual mirror reflects our physical appearance, so what would
reflect our being, our true self? What would reflect energy? Enter
the laws of the universe: the law of cause and effect, the law
of attraction, and Karma itself. God wanted it to be as simple
as possible, and he wanted to make sure we didn't miss our reflection.
So he made everything a mirror. We attract things into and create
our lives through cause and effect. Every thought and action we
put out comes back at us. Welcome to the looking glass of life.
Take a look around and see your reflection.
Every experience, every place, and every person in your life is
a reflection of your true being and your thoughts. It is all here
for you. And why? When you look into a mirror, what do you normally
do? You check yourself. You look to see if anything is wrong. Is
my hair Okay? Am I dressed well? Is my make-up Okay? Do I look
good? And what if you don't? If anything is out of place, what
do you do? You fix it. That is why the world is reflecting us.
We were meant to look at everything and everyone, and not see things
to criticize about them, but to see our reflection, straighten
ourselves out, learn and grow. We need to start taking a better
look in the spiritual mirror, and we need to fix what is out of
place within our own lives.
The next time you are angry and want to blame or critique someone,
make sure you're just not seeing yourself. It is common practice
for humans to project themselves onto other people, but it’s
not just about projection. Everyone else is actually reflecting
our own energy back at us. God gave us each other so we would know
what we truly look like. Everything is a reflection of you. Learn
who you are by using your looking glass. We are mirrors to each
other, and we all help each and every one to truly see ourselves.
We are not here to judge each other, we are here to help each other.
We are here to show each other the way, and reflect each other’s
light.

God's Reflection
I wonder if God has a mirror? Can he see himself? If he is everything,
he cannot step away from himself to see himself. He would have
to somehow create a mirror inside of himself, that part of his
being that could reflect his essence and light. So, he created
a different sort of mirror. Life.
We are God's mirror. He sees himself through us. We are his reflection.
That is why he made us in his image. We are creating and reflecting
the light of God back to him so he can see himself. God is everything,
so everything we do is a reflection of God.
Imagine what the world will be when we realize it. How can the
sad state of humanity today be compared to God Almighty? How can
we truly be a reflection of His magnificence? We are only seeing
an instant, not the full image. We look in a mirror, and instantly
see a reflection. If we took a photo every year, at the end of
our life we would have a little movie showing how we grow up, and
aged, and we could watch it all at once. There is no time for God,
so even if we take another 2000 years to finally reflect God's
true beauty... He still sees it all in one motion. He sees it all
now. The beginning and the end of it all.
So don't worry about what we looked like yesterday or even today
as God's reflection. It's tomorrow's reflection we are striving
for, and what a beautiful sight it will be.
