The Roles of Relationships categorized as Mirrors. The Reality that we have become is mirrored to us. It is a Reflected Reality. Reflected to us by the action, choices and language of those around us.
The First Mirror is our presence in the moment. What it is that we reflect to those around us in the moment. What are we radiating to those around us as they mirror or shine back to us?
The Second Mirror is that which we judge in the moment. What are we triggered by? If it is not a reflection of us, it could be a reflection of that which we judge. What am I charged by that I am not allowing in others?
The Third and Fourth Mirror reflect to us pieces of ourselves in others that are lost, given away, taken away or most forgotten. Sometimes our bodies respond psychically with an electrical charge or sensation in response to another person. What is it that I see in this person that I have lost, given away or have had taken from me? What is it about this person that I miss? We see ourselves in what we give away. These mirrors allow us to see ourselves in patterns, often in addictions and compulsions. We give away portions of our lives, we rearrange our lives, to accommodate our compulsion or addictions. We seek to reinforce that which has been lost, given away or taken from our lives.
The Fifth Mirror reflects our parents actions towards us as mirroring our beliefs and expectations of our relationship to our Heavenly Mother and Father. How we feel about our parents and the words we use to describe them represent a mirror of our expectations of our relationship with God. In this mirror, our mother and father are surrogates of our Heavenly Creator.
The Sixth Mirror can be called the Dark Night of the Soul. It reminds us that life has a propensity towards balance. In this mirror we can see that we can allow ourselves to be trusted. It is an opportunity for us to lose everything and see ourselves in the nothing and then see ourselves rising in our highest level of Mastery. Light and Dark anchor the mirrors for us. Our bodies mirror our beliefs.
The Seventh Mirror allows us to see that each experience is perfect. We allow for perfection in the imperfections of life.
