Mirror
being the reflection
a smooth surface that reflects the images of objects; anything that gives a true representation; something to be imitated or emulated; model
Most humans are unconscious of their act of judging the environment and others. This creates suffering, as none of the objects of our judgment can ever match our mind’s idea about them. We ultimately feel separation and miss out on enjoying the gift of diversity. As we become more present and conscious in each moment, the very habits of the mind, which imprison us, can be the doorway to awakening. There is no shame involved. In fact, when seeing an unconscious behavior, we celebrate it.
Inquiry
Do I see my reflection in the other?
Intention
In relationships, I stay aware that it is not about what the other says or does, but it is all about how I perceive and react to that.
