Ever wonder what you look like? All the time, I’m sure, several times a day, but we just walk over to a mirror, and we find out.

But what if we didn’t have any mirrors? In fact, what if there was no way to see ourselves in any other object. How would we know what we look like without our reflection? We wouldn’t. We wouldn’t ever know what our face looks like. So how would we find out? From everyone else. 

We would have to ask other people what we look like and ask them to describe our features. If someone said we had similar features to someone else, or maybe even looked just like some other person, by seeing that person, we would understand what we look like. Even with mirrors, we don’t always see ourselves. We don’t always realize our own behavior and we don’t always see our own actions and thoughts. 

God needed to place some mirrors around so we could see our true selves. An actual mirror reflects our physical appearance, so what would reflect our being? Something needed to reflect energy. Enter the laws of the universe: the law of cause and effect, the law of attraction, and Karma itself. We attract things into and create our lives through cause and effect. Every thought and action we put out comes back at us. It is reflected back. Welcome to the looking glass of life. Take a look around at your reflection. 

Every experience, every place, and every person in your life is a reflection of your true being and your thoughts. It is all here for you. When you look into a mirror, you check yourself. You look to see if anything is wrong, if anything is out of place. And what do you do? You fix yourself. That is why the world is reflecting us. We were meant to look at everything and everyone, and not see things to criticize about them, but to see our reflection, straighten ourselves out, learn and grow. We need to start taking a better look in the spiritual mirror, and we need to fix what is out of place with our own lives.

The next time you are angry and want to blame or critique someone, make sure you’re just not seeing yourself. Learn who you are by using your looking glass. We are mirrors to each other, and we all help each and every one to truly see ourselves. We are not here to judge each other; we are here to help each other. We are here to show each other the way, and reflect each other’s light.
