The Art of seeing beyond illusions - when we think we know but know nothing

Sometimes we believe what others tell us we are, as though the self we see reflected back to us through their eyes is truths. Yet the accuracy of a reflection depends on the clarity of that which is doing the reflecting. 

If the receiver forms an opinion about how what is perceived then what is reflected back to us will, at best, be distorted. 
It is not necessarily through ill will, it’s just the mechanic of the situation. 
Even the moon reflects the sun in varying degrees of fullness & clarity. 
We can learn something of the nature of the sun from the moon, but not as much as through direct perception. 
When we put rather too much faith in the reflections others have of us - to the point that we might not be honoring all that we are & all that we are becoming, because we believe too little about ourselves. 

There maybe those around us that are able to reflect us more faithfully, and even help us to see more of our own greatness & beauty. 
These are the souls blessed with inner stillness. In the clear water of their oceans of consciousness, we can come to recognize ourselves with clearer perception. 
However, there are those who have not tended to their own ocean, and are need to be still enough to genuinely receive & reflect our light back to us.  
There is no judgement here. Each takes the path of self-healing that is available & appropriate at any time given. 
However, to attempt to see the magnificence of the sun in a very partial moon, doesn’t make too much sense. 
If we are blessed with those who can show us the beauty within us, that’s wonderful.

Everything else is an illusion, a diversionary maneuver to hide from ourselves, to be confronted with our own dark shadow sides. 
The ability to recognize ourselves not only in the eyes of others, but from how we feel about ourselves, how we experience & observe ourselves (with compassion & kindness) from within. 
That is the empowerment to accept ourselves before we can accept & allow others to be as they are. 

People are a reflection of our own inner critic. The reason we attract situations with a lot of drama, which can be also of karmic nature, because we don’t feel worthy or good enough. More often than not we are afraid of being abandoned or rejected from true love, so we pick partners who are not good for us. And giving to everyone & trying to make them all happy doesn’t work when we are not giving to ourselves and are happy first. 

Illusions are an intrusion which brings confusion instead of solutions. 
Which are only made up with our mind. 

‘I create this illusion, therefore I shall control it. ‘
‘I will make it be what I want it to be’
‘I will shape it in the way I want to shape it.’

Projections makes perceptions making it the truth as we want it. 
We need to look at perceptions through emotional triggering, where we might find comfort in old identities and comfort of the familiar. 

Let’s not get caught up in lower energies and Illusions of the program, they are gonna be revealed. Let’s end a vicious karmic cycle of illusions and start a new beginning.
