The Mirror

Hello world. The following was written 11/16/2016.

Something I have come to understand about the mirror is that what we think we see is an illusion. We are taught to place before us a screen. A filter with which to view all we see. The picture I am given would be similar to the plastic film used on an over head projector with a drawing of the human body. My Guides are using an example of the medical field and how a doctor would look at each patient.

In the doctors mind they are holding up a picture of the human body and how it is supposed to look and act based on what they have been taught. They look at a chart with a bunch of numbers and if your numbers do not match they then judge you as having something wrong with you. They do not see the Individual Being standing before them. All they can see is that mental picture they are holding up in their minds.

In this same way, we as Individuals will hold up a mental picture before us as we look at our reflection. We will hold another’s image in our minds and compare ourselves to that other picture. Then we will ask ourselves why our image is so distorted. Why we do not fit into the image we are creating within our own minds.

It is these judgments and comparisons that are distorting the images that you perceive. Each of us are perfect as we are. Each of us are unique. We are taught from birth to judge ourselves and others by comparisons. To pit ourselves against one another as combatants and not connect as the brothers we are. To not see ourselves as equals so the same.
