Developing Spiritual Awareness With The Law Of Reflection
“The universe will reflect back that which shines forth into it.”
Earth is an amazing place of learning where you are constantly being given an opportunity to look at yourself in a mirror.
The mirror of the Universe is so honest and accurate that your deepest secrets show up in the reflections you see of yourself.
Every single person and situation in your life is a mirror of an aspect of you. As within, so without.
When you see yourself in a mirror you may not like what you see, you may claim the reflection is distorted but you rarely insist that it is someone else entirely that you see.
When the Universe presents us with someone or something in life this is equally a mirror. We can rant about it or deny it. However, the Spiritual Law Of Reflection reminds us to look in the mirror and change ourselves.
When you look in the mirror and see that your eyes look heavy and tired, you do not try to change the reflection. You eat a healthier diet and get more sleep so that the reflection changes.
When there is someone in your life who you do not like you can, of course, spend time and energy trying to fix or change him or her. If you do this, you are trying to change the reflection. It is a form of denial.
People who do this are known as rescuers. They would rather spend time changing the reflection than working on themselves.
When you understand The Law of Reflection you never again try to get someone else to be different in order that you feel more comfortable.
You observe the outer and change the inner.
Those people in your life that you do not like are showing you aspects of yourself you do not feel comfortable with.
- If you have a friend who seems very callous, ask yourself where you are hard hearted.
- If your child is hostile, look within at your own anger.
The Spiritual Law Of Reflection works at deeper levels too:
Imagine that your boss is completely disorganised and chaotic. If you pride yourself on your togetherness and your sense of responsibility, you are probably quite angry at him for being so unlike you and may well tell yourself he is not a mirror.
Nevertheless, look within yourself for an aspect of you that is untidy. Possibly a little bit of you wants to be carefree and irresponsible.
If as a child you were kept under tight discipline or there were high expectations of you, there may be a part of you that is fearful of making a mistake or being careless.
If you have always had to be responsible and in control, it is terrifying to let go. The inner part of you that wants to be irresponsible is reflected in people around you. To the extent that you are angry at your boss, you are angry at the part of yourself that appears in the mirror.
If someone in your life has an attribute which genuinely does not bother you, it does not reflect you and you will not even notice it.
The more a characteristic in someone else bothers you, the more your soul is trying to draw a reflection to your attention.
All the people that you really like are mirroring aspects of yourself that you feel good about.
Take anyone that you like, respect, admire. Think about the qualities that you like about them. Those qualities are to some extent within you. You would not have attracted that person, nor would you notice those parts of them, if they were not within you.
The magic mirror of the Universe is showing you a beautiful part of yourself that you may not be in touch with. Enhance these qualities by practising them and more people with these fine characteristics will enter your life.
How to learn Spiritual Awareness from the Law Of Reflection:
If the Universe really wants to draw your attention to something it will give you three mirrors to look into at once.
- If you notice three blind people one day, it may suggest that you are not seeing something.
- If you notice three accidents, you might consider where you are going too fast or heading for disaster.
Water reflects what is happening to your emotions or spirituality. If your emotions are leaking, you may find taps drip, radiators leak, and so on.
Rivers, lakes, oceans carry the emotional and spiritual life force of any area. Are you drawn to turbulent seas or tranquil lakes? Remember too that water symbolically washes and purifies.
All animals, plants, trees and even crystals represent qualities.
- The Oak tree in your garden reflects your solid, dependable aspect.
- If your garden is flamboyant and colourful it externalises an extrovert part of you, whether you consciously show it or not.
Whatever comes into your life, look into the mirror and see what it has to teach you.
Once we understand the Spiritual Law of Reflection we can expand our spiritual growth by looking at what life is telling us. Our journey on Earth becomes a fascinating and exciting experience.
There are two ways to interpret what you see in a mirror:
- One, is that you are seeing your projection.
- The other, that you are seeing an aspect that you have attracted.
To find a projection, talk about the person or situation. For example you may say, ‘You are a generous but aggravating person.’
Look within at your generous aspect and the part of you that is aggravating.
To find how you attracted the reflection, be aware of how the person makes you feel. For example, ‘You make me feel inadequate’ shows you a reflection of your inadequecy.
Never try to change someone else for they are reflecting you. So look within and change yourself.
What are your thoughts on The Spiritual Law Of Reflection?
- Would you say your home and garden reflects your inner qualities?
- Think about your friends, are there any qualities of any of them that you dislike? If so, what are they?
- Have you ever tried to change a friend or partner in any way to make you feel more comfortable?
- What are you drawn to; Turbulent seas or calm waters?
- Do you feel that you need to look within yourself and make any changes after reading the Law of Reflection?
Answering all of these questions and more will help you along your path to Spiritual Growth.
