The document discusses the evolution of mirrors from natural pools of water to manufactured mirrors in the 19th century. It notes that our true selves are more than just physical reflections, and that the greatest things in life are invisible and reflected in our actions. It encourages looking inside our hearts rather than at mirrors, and preparing the heart through compassion so the mind can see clearly and find joy by connecting to the spirit within through detaching from negative habits and beliefs.

Invisible Mirror
!
November 16, 2017!
If you could ask the many generations of your relatives that if they could look
at themselves in a mirror, they would meet you with ‘a wondering look’ of
confusion. The very first mirrors most probably were quiet pools of water and
rock or clay containers of water. Of course, these natural mirrors pale in
comparison to the manufactured mirrors of today. Whether you can see or
are blind, a mirror to see your face in the modern sense was not available to
possess until the 19th century. That which can’t be seen may be because it doesn’t exist, or call it as
existing, but ’invisible’.!

You may like, dislike, or have changing, mixed feelings of how you look or perceive your self as in the mirror.
Whatever, the truth is you are more than the reflection you see and feel. The greatest things in life are
invisible, and only reflect themselves in your actions and results. !

Instead of looking in the mirror, close your eyes with a still mind, and look inside your
heart! Like before going up a mountain, you have to be prepared for the journey. The
journey through life is more rewarding if most of your life has been first prepared from
the base, or heart to see more clearly at the top, or in the clear mind. The mind, like
at the top of the mountain, could be missing the blissful joys
that emanate from the connection with love filled heart.
Often hearts are damaged early with traumas of various
intensities so that the mind becomes exhausted or clouded
so as not to see through the ‘forests’ of distractions for
making the best moves to the highest elevations otherwise
available.!

The mind is a deceiver without a friendship with the heart.
Likewise, the heart becomes an enemy with a mind that has
a heart restricted from the energy of compassion. This has become a world where
the mind’s qualities are too often rewarded while the heart stays lonely and
unnoticed. One who betrays the heart, seeking the pleasures of the mind will find
disappointment that needs more of the ‘drug’ of the insatiable mind that ignores the heart energy that it is
bereft of. !

The invisible mirror is hidden inside you when all the negative is detached from or let go of. You are the best
healer of the ‘invisible’ godliness within. Life and love awaits your choice to seek the hidden fountain of bliss
and joy inside. Now in the moment is always the start, and not bringing your bad habits,
conditioning, beliefs, and the ‘you’ who you’ve clung too forever. Say ‘yes’ and flow into
freedom of the spirit within. !
