Starting my new journey, focusing all my energy and power on what I do want in my life, I find that I am now looking within and without at the spiritual aspect of REFLECTION. I know I am a mirror of what is, and what has always been. I reflect more and more clearly the One True Light at the Center of all that is. As I move and circle around my spirals of growth, I visit different angles, different aspects around the circle. At times, I am full, at times I appear like a crescent shaped cup, receptive to accept what the Universal Light sees fit to pour into my cup. Other times, at different points on the cycle around the spiral circle, I pour out from my cup, giving and blessing wherever the sustenance is drawn to fall.

I notice as I pour from my cup that certain places draw the flow, and others seem to repel or let the flow hit and bounce off. I notice that some places where the flow falls upon, the physical plane it is being bounced off many places and forming little rivulets which pour into streams. Those streams network and form larger streams and flow into a larger sea. Mostly I notice that whether the sustenance I pour upon the earth is absorbed or bounced off. It is never lost. It is a part of an unending cycle. As I look down upon the places that seem to be able to absorb and assimilate what I pour forth in blessings, those places seem soft and gentle and quiet and still. It is as if they have been prepared to receive, and wait in quiet knowing that sustenance is available. Those places seem very quiet. The other places seem to have molecules, little parts that are rushing around so fast, that there is literally no room in between the speeding microscopic parts for anything to penetrate. There is a shell formed by the busyness and underneath the shell I sense lots of things are going on which will lead to a burning off of the dross. Those little microscopic parts don’t seem to be looking at me, as I reflect the Light,

My reflections are capable of shining down upon the Earth Plane the knowledge and wisdom of all times. For those places where it is quiet and soft and gentle, there is a sense of knowing that everything is in order. Those receptive places appear almost sluggish or lazy and even unintelligent to their neighboring busy spots.

I can see that both the light and the absence of light, both the highspeed activity and the quiet receptive places are "good." Both are necessary to create life itself. Like male and female, light and dark, happy and sad, rich and poor, positive and negative electricity…both "sides" are necessary for energy. There are no coins in reality no two sided objects. There are only spheres, like little cells, and each sphere, like the moon, appears to be light or dark in varying proportions depending upon the point of observation. If observed from the "appropriate" perspective, my shape will always appear however my observer desires, but the observer will not be able to stand in the same spot. Standing in the same spot, my observer will see me light and dark, half moon and crescent, and learn to recognize the balance of all the shapes and seasons connected with me. Rushing around, exhausting energy to see me only in one perspective, the observer would wear out, and also have a very fixed idea about my shape and size, refusing to see all my many facets.

Rushing around in order to see only one aspect of me, the observer might obtain a great deal of light, and become as enlightened as a dazzling quartz crystal with many prisms, but would lose all sense of seasons, polarities, and flexibility. Forced to bend, the beautiful crystal would break and shatter into many tiny fragments. Bending and stretching and growing through all of my cycles, the observer can see the Law, the Akashic Record, the Totality of all that has been, is, and will be…and be able to recognize that the potential for all things is present, thus becoming a like a beautiful dazzling quartz crystal, but one that can bend and twist and stretch reaching for the Light, facing the Sun, and the reflections of the Sun. Most important, the seeker will find the Sun, the Source within, from which all reflections come.
