The Mirror Dimension - The Subconscious Beauty of the Mind (Part 2)
It can be said that when we look into the mirror, we are looking at the green room of our subconscious mind as our eyes can only capture our perspective of what we look like. The mirror just like if a person was to look at their reflection in the water would show the person the alternate self whether we love what we see or not. It is by this design when something is deemed beautiful it is completely subjective to the eye of the beholder but because it's subjective it’s not always necessarily the truth. Now as a collective group of like-minded individuals, our minds have the power to select standards of beauty that can be judged and compared because if everyone is deemed beautiful then how would we know what ugly is and vice versa? Even though the standards can be seen as objective depending on the person, the point is that how we determine beauty is the same as how we see the light in that if everywhere has light how would we know to determine darkness?
If in this exploration of truth and clarity, you look at the light/beauty as the defining aspect of our existence, you will then begin to realize that no one is more beautiful than they are at this very moment because each second that passes, we will never get that moment back every again. It is because we are human with a short time to live that each moment is made more beautiful. After all, we are one day eventually going to turn to dust and vanish. In this musical analysis of the light, we are called to be “agents of the light” which is not an assignment to cast nobility over those who choose to live in darkness. However, an agent of the light has an even more important role to play in choosing to live with a sense of clarity, truth, and balance. The first duty is to shine your internal light on those who are in darkness only to show them that there is a different path they can choose to take if they so choose to walk in that same light. The second duty an agent of the light always remembers is that choosing to walk in light only provides an illusion that casts a shadow over the darkness within yourself. That perfection is light and darkness operating as one single unit and that walking too far into the light is just as foolish has someone choosing to walk too far in the dark.
A lot of this world trains and conditions our minds to believe that you must operate in the extreme cases of sides, labels, and classification and for those who stand on balance there is the “problem.” When actuality when operating in this way leads to some of the most extreme manifestations of pain, suffering, violence, lack of compassion, lack of treatment, and a whole host of other issues; When the root of it comes from the narrative and ineffective communication that comes from operating in these extreme ways of going about life.
