Look in the mirror. What do you see? Whom do you see? Someone familiar? Someone is unkind to you. Look at them. What do you see? Whom do you see? Someone familiar? There seems to be a lot up around mirroring these days. People saying things to me that they are actually saying to themselves; me hearing people talking about themselves, and hearing my own voice in their words. Mirroring can be seen as good or bad - others may mirror your magnificence to you, or your hurts and pains. If you hear someone tell you that you’re magnificent, they’re also talking to themselves, for they couldn’t SEE YOUR magnificence if they couldn’t see their own. If you hear someone tell you you’re a big old meanie, chances are they’re working through some stuff, and you happened to be right in front of them. They need to throw their unwanted hurts onto you so they can see them more clearly. It’s the old Debbie Ford/Byron Katie work, for sure, but more than ever it seems to be up for people.
I think if we can stay focused, centered, and calm, we’re better able to see what’s really going on. If something someone says is helpful for you, go ahead and take it and look at it, mull it over, dissect it. If it’s not helpful, let it go - you’ve unconsciously helped someone else get clearer in their own lives. It’s not easy - I certainly never said it was. It’s hard work - this clarity stuff. When I was younger I loved going into my mom and dad’s bathroom because it had mirrors facing each other. If you look at one, you can see the reflection of your back in it, then the reflection of your front in that other one, on into infinity. That’s what this is like. Am I mirroring you WHILE you’re mirroring me, and does that energy just keep bouncing back and forth between the two of us ad infinitum? I’m helping you while you’re helping me while I’m helping you while you’re helping me. In the end it doesn’t really matter who started what, or what was said to whom about whom or what. It just matters what each person chooses to do with that interchange. Are you going to use it to help yourself, or are you going to deny there are two mirrors and just keep acting as if you’re the only REAL one, and everyone else just has issues? That’s sweet - that’s cute - that doesn’t work anymore. Don’t take my word for it - check it out for yourself. Do you feel yourself growing, expanding, softening, in these past few weeks? You could be, as that appears to be the main energy right now - expansion through awareness. No more automatic. That’s what I’ve been working with, anyway, and usually I’m right there with the rest of the world, energetically speaking. It’s just that I’m INTERESTED in this process, have been working with it for 20 years now. I’ve felt the ebbs and flows, the increasing intensity of it all, and I think we need to keep talking to each other so we can figure it out together. I don’t have much time for people who shut their eyes and say, “Man, have YOU got a problem, girl!” They won’t help me. I want someone else who’s awake. I’ll keep mirroring for YOU if you so choose to figure things out, but unless you’re willing to open your eyes and take responsibility for your actions and words, I probably won’t be spending much time with you. I’ll wish you well, for sure, but now is the time for banding together with other like minds so you can ricochet off each other into the higher realms. Finding Family. I for one don’t want the bowling on Wednesday casserole on Friday family, for sure. I’m with the “What great adventures shall we share today?” family. The “What kindness can I give you today?” family. That’s what I’m living. Awake. Oh, and kind.
