Our world has a dual nature: time and space. When we cling to things, people, events, and situations, we create an energetic imbalance. Any imbalance tends to be countered by an opposing force. For every up, there is an equally opposing down. Therefore, perfection seems imperfect because it's unnatural—a mask requiring considerable effort. Imperfection, conversely, seems perfect because it requires no pretense. A vast amount of knowledge can seem foolish because excessive data overwhelms our senses; conversely, limited knowledge can seem wise, as it allows for clearer thinking. Excessive caring can feel burdensome and unproductive, while less intense caring can feel effortless and highly productive. By grasping at a concept, we lose it; by allowing it to reveal itself, we gain wisdom. Trying to possess someone drives them away; unconditional love fosters lasting connection. Those who seek power over others rarely empower themselves. Seeking attention from others often results in indifference; conversely, indifference often attracts attention.
We live in a mirror reality: our inner state and true self are reflected in the outer world. Once we cease forcing outcomes, we align ourselves with the natural flow of events.
The Mirror Reality
We look at the outer world as if it were a mirror, constantly reflecting our true nature.
What you put out is what you get back. Your actions determine your life experiences. If you cheat, steal, and lie, people will treat you unfairly. If you distrust others, they will likely cheat, steal, and lie to you, behaving untrustworthy. If you seek others' acceptance, you will become their prisoner, perpetually striving to prove your worth. If you seek power over others, they will not accept you. If you are mean and unfair, no one will respect you. If you treat others with respect, they will likely adore and treat you fairly. What seems fast may be slow because we rush everything into completion; what seems slow may be fast because we allow everything to come to us. True progress lies in being present in the moment.
Your attitudes toward the world are reflected in the 3D world through people, events, and circumstances.
What you give is what you receive. If you give away money, you may receive more in return. Conversely, if you hoard money, you're unlikely to see abundance flow your way. Money is energy that needs to be used and circulated. Don't be careless with your money, or afraid that there isn't enough to go around.
Who you are is what you have. Your inner qualities are reflected in the 3D world as people, events, and circumstances.
To those who have, more will be given; from those who have not, even what they have will be taken away. If you are content with life, expect great things. If you fear losing possessions, you risk losing yourself. If you feel inferior, others will treat you poorly. If you feel superior, others may attack you, perceiving you as a threat. Vulnerability brings strength; it takes courage to show your true self, and this makes you appear strong to others.
Reality reflects who you truly are, not just outward appearances.
The mirror of reality works in mysterious ways, reflecting the subject in the object. You can see yourself in the outer world. Although the perceived separation and duality of our reality are obvious, it is ultimately an illusion. This is perhaps why we cling to life.
