The Great Smoking Mirror...when we look at the reflections of our lives, those reflections reveal the truths of our inner selves. We wonder why others attack us, our beliefs, our path...yet, when we look into the reflections of ourselves and the world around us, others respond to us by the reflections they see. When others attack our worth, discrediting our path and saying we are useless or can never do good enough, what are the reflections you see within that others see as well?
the Great Smoking Mirror
Defining the path. Discovering who we are...in spirit~ our authentic self. In a world full of disguises and illusions it can be difficult to find the true self of ,our spirits. What do I see when I look into the Great Smoking Mirror.? I can stand in the reflections and see a woman who walks a true path. I walk my path not of ego but a path of honesty and truth. It is not such a difficult path to walk now.. I have returned to the heart of a child , of innocence and a pure embrace~and no more do I own any moments in time, however fleeting or secure in which fear is the controller .... I can go within, to that quiet place within and be one with the essence of my authentic self...I can locate and embrace the peace and know that all is given by the goodness of the Great Mystery. Before I found my clear reflections ~my spirit, I was lost. Others would attack, in body and spirit and when I looked into the mirror in those times gone by, I could see the fear, I could embrace the fear, I was the fear. Within the fear, others were able to attack the fragile spirit that was violated time and time again....Then, within a timeframe of one second, within the strength of one thought I was able to rise above the conflict and the attacks and speak my truths that no one would ever control or manipulate me to the place where I surrendered in fear. My reflections thruout the first 4 decades of my life were fear. I breathed fear....I walked fear.....I slept in fear. I loved in fear. Others were able to see my reflections of fear in everything I did, in every reflection of my spirit and path, it was consumed with fear....and it was easy for others to disown their own fears and weakness by attacking mine..they saw their own fear in my reflections, but in the reflections of what I presented their were able to disguise their own and claim mine. What did I find when the healings came and I didnt have the smoke of the mirror to bring any illusions which in the past had controlled every aspect of myself.? In the new reflections the images are clear. And now, all who chose to see my heart, to embrace my soul will see and envision the same reflections ~ it is all that I am . My reflections to others as they look into my eyes, as they embrace my spirit will find the path I walk is in the ways of sacred Law. I show no reflections of ego or dominating anyone. I am a gentle spirit who carriers the strength of the Great Mystery in every atom of my being. I can walk without fear now, for there are no enemies who can attack and win. There is no longer loving relationships manifesting in fear or control, but as I embrace my own heart, I have no ego, and I present myself to those who embrace my heart as straight and true. I do not walk in fear....I do not breathe in the fear. In those years of fear....I lived nothing..nothing but fear. Now, which each breath I take I inhale the goodness and the illuminating presence of the Creator. I can walk with gentleness and beauty....and I inhale all that is good and right. I am equal to all...and I will live my path with authenticity. Never will I again run from the reflections that once held me captive and never will I run from anyone who attacks my path. I shall always walk with a gentle heart and as I walk in truths of sacred law, I shall honor all my relations of this earth, it does not matter if they see my reflections clearly, for they will not until they remove the smoke from the great mirror and find that the smoke has been a disguise for their ways.....and they too shall find the healing beyond the great smoking mirror and we shall see each other in truth and goodness...and acceptance....beyond the Great Smoking Mirror.
