The Mirror Named Reality
By: Chase McQuade
*This is a description of something which means to hold an explanation. An explanation is a generalized opinionated statement that has a conditioned conclusion which you don’t.*
“There is nothing that can truly harm you and nothing can’t harm you as well.”
“It’s hard to stay awake with your eyes closed.”
“You must allow your thoughts to catch up to where you are.”
Take a moment and sit back I want to show you something that’s in your living room. It’s a mirror. When you look at it and stare, it pulls you to sleep. It pulls you to sleep simply by hypnotizing you with this phrase…”I know.” over and over so many times you forget to ask if you do which means don’t think about it, not meaning considering judging or opionating which also means not to think about it, and then you’re asleep. The mirror holds an exquisite power over all those who look at it, the power of pulling you into it when you’re asleep and when that happens it’s hard, it’s simply difficult (which is the worst) to get out of it.There are so many people in the world that are in their own living room but trapped in their own mirror sometimes so long ago they forgot when it happened. It is so hard to keep your eyes open and be aware in a world that continually tells you that you know and to shut them. Just keep the mirror in your living room and don’t bring it anywhere else. It's not perfect or everyone’s would be the same. It’s uniquely handmade, as in all things that are handmade, it takes a very long time to make which is incomprehensible to you, just for you and for some reason you chose to forget that. You can frame it however you want but don’t look in the mirror to figure how you want to frame it. Own the mirror and don’t let it own you. Look at the mirror and see endless undulating color of form and formlessness. There are ghosts in the mirror as well, sometimes you call them friends or enemies or this and that. Realize when your talking to the mirror you could be talking to a ghost and never say never to the mirror or it will reflect that. If the mirror reflects on itself it creates an infinity pool of reflection, when it does that, and it does, if you put yourself in between it you will reflect just as many times, that happens too. The mirror is infinite so whenever you look at it (not into it! Save yourself!) the smallest things can look enormous and the biggest things can look infinitesimal, sometimes so small they’re hard to see and sometimes so enormous you can't help but see just that. Supreme is just a word that can be put on the smallest grain of sand to the largest most beautiful nebula in the universe but also on everything in between.
Ok...now look away from the mirror, it’s harder if not now impossible (See how it works?) for a moment. You are being. You can even say you are being it, if that helps bring clarity to what I am saying. Being is also an infinite. Being is in hate in love in riches in poverty in heaven in hell you name it and being is in that too, being is also in what is unknown and unnamed. The difference between being and the mirror named reality is that being casts no reflection. To just be to truly be has no reflection. Hold that thought and see how it expands your understanding of everything. The only miracle in the universe is understanding, which means acceptance. Now you’re using your mind. The mind accepts (understands) everything because it can’t choose what passes through it. The mind (being) within being also casts no reflection. All things and nothing pass through the mind and nothing is held onto by it, if you doubt that just turn your head, you see? Another perspective and the mind just accepts that. The mind brings to being clarity, which is what it does and is. To see something clearly that is up to the mind. Look at a rock for a moment. You want the rock to move so your body gets up and moves it, there is your mind. You see how clear it is? How clearly it is done? Now look at the rock, see how clear it is and then the brain tells you everything it knows about it, there is your mind. Now look around you and see how clear everything is and your brain tells you what’s going on. Now focus on the clarity of the mind and what is revealed is the transparency to all things. (Once again don’t look into the mirror to figure it out.) There is transparency in all things in all doing in space and time and nothing, of course come back to the rock. Being uses the mind to...what? Only being can hold onto something that doesn’t hold onto anything. Work at just being, which you are without looking in the mirror.
If you are told to open your mind, by anyone there is actually something else trying to see you. To open means to allow access and move through an empty space. You can see the door. It is also a mirror so that it remains camouflage from you. On the other side is something else looking at your door also seeing a mirror but knows your on the other side because it sees this all the time. Don’t break this mirror simply, so simply that makes it exquisitely difficult to figure out how to do. There is something about holding hands that everyone overlooks.
Ok a word of caution from knowing this….
Look at the mirror, this is what it’s for. Clean yourself up hold no reflection, this includes something that most people don’t pay attention too (gross) good mental hygiene and be presentable. To create yourself the soul has to pay. Make it worth something for everyone then you are and will be truly rich. But always, seriously always regard your soul because the soul is meant to serve so don’t make it a servant...More like a waiter, in something that does exist. Remember to tip your waiter it lives on them. Lol and get others to tip it as well. Now go in all directions and have a wonderful day!
