Mirror Reflections

Reflection

You’re always authoring your field of awareness.
It’s your mind screen. It’s all the experiences
That make up your life. You are not just you. You are
Everything that surrounds you. It may sound bizarre
But it’s true that the reflection you offer says
Much about you. There’s nothing that you can suppress.

Your field of awareness extends beyond your skin.
It includes all the people you’re with, the places
You go to, and your general life circumstance.
What takes place in a mirror can’t happen by chance.
When you move your reflection moves by the graces
Of reality if it’s what you believe in.

“They’re a mirror.” You’ve had people say this to you
Often when you’re complaining about someone who
You don’t like. What they mean is there’s something in you
That attracts that odd person. So what can you do?
You can change that reflection to one with a new
Mirror image – one with a more accurate view.

The world is your reflection but you get to choose
What gets mirrored back to you so be discerning
About your mirrors and the image you project.
Be more judgmental about which ones you select
For reflection. Your life is about returning
To a state where your mirrors uplift and amuse.

The Real Me

The Self Undefined

I pretend to be someone significantly small
Compared to who I really am. Poor little me
Is afflicted with beingness. Can I awake
From this dream of my selfhood? Was it a mistake
That the universe carelessly caused me to be?
My flirtation with waking up leads to my fall.

What the whole universe is doing I do too.
Waking up is the realization that I
Am something that the whole universe does just as
The wave is something that the ocean does. Life has
Dualistic convergence. I exemplify
All there is as one being with one point of view.

Not like being locked in a dark room forever
Will it be when I die. That’s not experience.
Nonexistence everlasting is so absurd.
Only from fearful people is such a thing heard.
When I wake up from this life the next will commence,
And this self that I am now will exist no more.

Consciousness is continuous. As people die,
More come into existence. I am every one
But can only experience one at a time.
As I am this one now, my awareness is prime,
And I know that I will never get it all done.
I’ve respect for the laws with which I must comply.
