Subject: [K-list] That Big Old Mirror

".........what you see in others is a reflection of you"

This is a statement of fact that I have heard so many times now I feel it is fundamental to my growth that I fully understand its meaning and the implications. Sometimes I get it completely but at other times I am at a loss and wonder what it was that I got!!!

The reason I can't fully accept it I believe is because I have been told that there are exceptions to the rule eg. if someone of a higher vibration sees something in a person of a lower vibration than themselves then can not be a reflection of the higher vibration person as lower cannot reflect higher vibrations..... If there were no exceptions to the rule then I would have no problem accepting that when I see something in another human being it is actually a part of myself that I was noticing.

The only way I've heard the concept explained to me that kind of made sense was that one can only recognise something in someone that they have expereiced in themselves otherwise there would be no way of relating...... how could I recognise joy in someone else unless I too had once experienced joy? And it owul donly be my experience of joy that I would be relating to and not theirs.

And where does empathy fit into this?...... (thankyou for the link MAS... I have read it). If our heart chakra is open and clear enough can we actually feel things in other people that we have not ever felt ourselves?

So how does one know when what they are recognising in someone else is actually themselves reflected or in fact a part that person?..... I dont know when I am seeing me or them ...........

One thing I am comfortable with is seeing the divine in everyone......... I feel that to a great extent I have dispensed with my judgementalness (he says modestly!!! I'm not confident enough to say completely as I'm sure somewhere inside my judgementalness is alive and kicking, same as ever ;0)) Just depends where I am coming from in that moment) ....... but for now, when I see something in someone else I don't lable it good or bad, right or wrong..... it just "is". But is that always me that I am seeing, without exception??

I hope my questions make sense....... I look forward to some feedback.

Just learning about myself

Yours
Charles
