The House Of Glass
the interesting knowledge of experiencing the "Place of Glass"?
I recall that this being an entrancing knowledge, the
objective was to endure a labyrinth of mirrors,
for the most part with arms augmented in light of the fact that I didn't know
which path was out as all the encompassing mirrors
mirrored each other and the picture of me in them!
I had the acknowledgment today that this experience is
extremely practically equivalent to how we experience our lives!
In the House of Glass, all over I turned,
there I was - generally in different states, short and
fat, long and thin or all cockeyed relying on how
the mirror I was reflected in was formed.
I simply completed a book today that I couldn't put
down once I opened it and didn't need it to end when
I completed it!
"Strolling Between The Worlds - The Science Of Compassion"
by Gregg Braden. Braden has gotten to be one of my top choice
educators these previous couple of years as his life reflects my
own from various perspectives, particularly in his comprehension of
"life" and being human.
I have long referred to about the idea of others as
"mirrors" in my life, and I don't have the foggiest idea about that I truly
got the essence or centrality of that idea until
I read this book!
Part 5 of this book is titled:
"Voyage of Initiation, The Seven Temples of Relationship"
In it, Braden wonderfully clarifies "The Seven
Mirrors of Relationship" as taught to us by the old
Essenes. He states,
"Connections are your chance
to see yourself in all ways. Every relationship [no
matter how enormous or how small] mirrors an impression of
your convictions, judgments, inclination or deficiency in that department,
as you cooperate with others. Regardless of the possibility that you live upon a
peak having no human collaboration you still
must cooperate with yourself. Inside yourself you will
see the impression of your convictions."
Our connections are our cutting edge individual sanctuaries
of learning and love, much the same as the antiquated sanctuaries
worked to show us something important to us, our
cooperation with others has supplanted the stone and
brick work structures of antiquated "reproduced", holy experience.
Similarly as with all the immense assets that present themselves
to me, this book comes at an absolute best time!
Very nearly 3 months back I cleared out home for an amplified visit
with my new companion and accomplice. The news that I would
be gone so long hit my family as a passionate ton of blocks.
Like the 'Illuminated Warrior' I have gotten to be, I stood
in my energy as each strategy they could assemble
introduced itself to have me stay put "where I had a place."
- including dangers to have me conferred for my narrow-mindedness.
Like the "Dissident" I can SO be, I couldn't hold up to
cut free and escape the complexity and poor yearnings of
everybody around me. The time and space away appeared to
me an immaculate chance to accommodate some long lasting
connection issues and to "cool my planes" around the
feelings that had been mixed up inside me.
As the House Of Glass case above, I am too
sufficiently savvy to realize that changing my area in
physical space won't "resolve" my own issues
within reach, thus I go realizing that "all around I go,
there I am." I wondered what life would
present to me in my new surroundings that would "reflect"
what I had going ahead in my connections at home!
The main thing that I abandoned me was the
"enthusiastic charge" connected with my "connection"
to the circumstance. I could feel the "help" of that
as the plane took off into the mists.
As "Law" would have it, my pondering was tended to
in spades! I couldn't have set myself up enough for
the awesome and delectable mirrors exhibited to me
for the motivations behind discovering sweet "determination". What's more,
additionally like the similarity of the "Place Of Glass" above,
these mirrors were slighty to one side from life back home,
what's more, they were completely reflecting back pictures of Me
in my predefined designs! The likenesses of where
I got myself were more than "uncanny".
As I communicate and "Be" in my new surroundings without
the passionate charges present I am mindful of how much
simpler it is for me to "see" what's truly going on
in the mirrors. In the event that I confide in and acknowledge that
"Every relationship reflects an impression of
my convictions, judgments, predisposition or need thereof...",
the "ahas" of where I have to move my point of view
make them slap my temple on a hourly premise!
The encounters in my new surroundings not just
mirror my encounters back home, they are far greater
what's more, a great deal more overstated than where I originated from!
Out of this wonderful new complexity comes the well known
rockets of yearning and a position of thankfulness and
certified sympathy for those I hold "generally dear".
As I prepared myself to come back to my home "mirrors" I
run with a new point of view and applauding myself on the
back for having held fast with sympathy. I'm
genuinely sure that what is reflected back to me upon
my landing will look very not quite the same as when I cleared out.
I have understood the advantages of mending and determination
from having endured a significantly more bizarre labyrinth of a
entire distinctive arrangement of mirrors!
