The World is Your Mirror.

I want to discuss this topic today ‘cause as inevitably as all the way were leading to Rome at ancient times – now all the ways are leading to personal development.

If you are smart you will get there.

My metaphor for spiritual development is like this: imagine that there is that huge table in front of you. Let’s say you are sick and tired of being not so good with women (like I was). So that little corner of your table is all dirty and messy. So you decide to get better i.e. to clean it up.

And after a while of looking at it, trying to sort out the mess and using few different cleaning liquids you discover (like I did) that there is actually that whole huge table (your IDENTITY, beliefs and values) and its all messed up and to start doing better on that little corner you have to pour water all over that huge space and clean it all up.

It’s all interconnected.

Its all one whole.

And when finally the entire surface will be clean and clear – then that little corner of your table will become also inevitably clear and totally in order. You pour so much water on the whole surface that it covers all corners automatically.

And that huge space consists of something called integral personal development.

So again, if you are smart – you will have to handle the whole thing.

You will have to start on the personal development path and this will enrich your life BIG TIME.

You will start feeling hungry for that knowledge and something will awaken inside you. Something that was sleeping deep inside you all those years and only accidentally and vaguely reminded you of its existence.

Sometimes… Snapshot of quiet beach and sea...

View of sunset... Silence in the forest...

Light falling through the curtains on quiet Sunday morning…

I had it when I was 14 and used to come to school very early on cold winter mornings. At that time of the day there where only 2 security guards in that whole huge building. All those noises of the day where an hour away and school was warm, dark, silent and friendly...

Before the crowd will rush in and scare the silence away.

I used to walk then through the building feeling something in my soul bigger than me, bigger than I could conceive at that time. I did not know what it was but I liked to feel that mysterious piece.

I did not know what to do with it then.

Sometimes you might feel something in you that you can’t even label. Resist that mind’s wish to label it. Just feel it and let it be there. It will find a way to come out and make frieds with you one day…

So here it comes: the world is your mirror.

It’s a sum total of your thoughts and intentions about the reality.

All that you possess...

All that you have coming to you...

All that surrounds you...

It’s all YOUR MIRROR.

Its all YOU.

How girls react to you is a sum total of what you think of yourself and what you learned about what you may and may not do.

You most probably don’t even remember WHEN, HOW and WHO taught you this stuff. But its all there. Running your life.

But there is an EXTRA feature to the mirror: a delay.

Even in the normal mirror we see our image with a tiny delay.

Obviously the light needs some time to reach out eye so we receive the information which is already a tiny bit old.

Our thoughts and intentions take time to manifest so in our lives the delay can be sometimes pretty long: weeks, months, years.

Whatever your thoughts are about yourself and others, whatever your ideas are about this world and in fact anything that goes through your head – it all comes to life. If you have conflicting thoughts they will take time to manifest.

If there is no inner conflict then it will happen almost immediately. Like you might remember while doing something simple like washing dishes in the kitchen you might think “this plate is standing on the edge, it might fall and break” and it happened almost immediately.

Unconscious mind plays a crucial role here. Let’s use a computer game analogy here.

Unconscious will play then a role of an enormous database. A huge database of some computer game that keeps all the game physics, character traits and behavior patterns of all participants’ plus all avatar features, etc.

Consciousness plays the role of a programmer who can can use his conscious mind as a programming tool to change the reality around him.

And here is good news: by DELIBERATELY AND CONSCIOUSLY using your mind you can influence the rest of this reality.

It’s not easy but it definitely worth the effort.

Some typical objection here might be: “I am always nice to those girls, I buy them drinks and listen to their problems… Why don’t they see me as a sexworthy man?” or “Well, I have always been very positive and excited about other people and the world in general… I tried to help… I never had any prejudices but people behaved so badly towards me... They betrayed my trust, they stole my money, badmouthed me, etc. How all that can be possible if the world is my mirror? Everyone should be nice to me because I AM nice and open and willing to help, right?”

The answer here is NO. Thinking this way equals to giving your power away to the outside world. What one has then is a passive idealism. One came out from the ideal picture. One just hoped that is SO.

There was no creative effort in it.

It was just putting the label on something and hoping that it will behave accordingly. It’s not how it works.

This game works on other principles.

It’s a Spiritual Warrior Principle. It means that if you want something in your life – you take control of your conscious mind and direct it towards creating what you want. And you do so by keeping your thoughts on it, on keeping an INTENTION.

Every though you think is going to add to the manifestation of your desires or it will erase them. So here comes into a play a vital importance of keeping your mind on your goals and seeing them as already achieved and seeing yourself achieving them.

To the degree that others may call you DELUSIONAL.

To the degree they make fun of you and whisper behind your back.

To the degree that your own ego rises up and whispers “its not you” into you ear.

To the degree that it fills you with sadness and negativity to stop you.

What do you do then?

Just accept those feelings. Let them be there, do not resist.

Acknowledge them; let them go through you like a smoke.

Stick you’re your INTENTION. Sooner or later all negative stuff will be gone. But you will stay and see you goals becoming REALITY.

And see yourself becoming another person. The person you were INTENDED to become.

Because you can do it.

Because your IDENTITY IS FLUID.

Because you can change if you are really sick and tired of mediocre life.

Because you have a WILL.

Because it’s your CALLING.

And then you will see all those who were laughing and ridiculing you to become your fans and admirers. But it will not matter much to you anyway…

Keep going, the goal is worth it.
