When we gaze into the mirror of Emptiness present on the horizon of Being - Spaciousness, the vast Awareness of the Great Beyond - we see Form suddenly arising as a shimmering of the vastness, in the form of a beautiful Woman - Earth Woman, Gaia, Sophia, Mother Earth. She is a sort of immanent mirror-image appearing within the vast Awareness of the Beyond, walking toward us from her home in the world of Form. However, when we turn around - away from the mirror - and face directly the world in an effort to find Her, we see no one! All we have is a mirror-image of Her!
Similarly, when we look directly at the world of Form present all around us, we find a second mirror - one that faces the horizonal mirror. Looking into this second mirror, we see a handsome Man - God, the Great Beyond, the Great Mystery - walking toward us from His home on the endless horizon of Being. He is a sort of transcendent mirror-image appearing within the world of Form. However, when we turn around - away from the mirror - and face directly the horizon in an effort to find Him, we see no one! All we have is a mirror-image of Him!
Such is the amazing mystery of the Cosmos! Two mirrors - with their corresponding sets of mirror-images - facing one another, yet with NO Originals!
Photo: Alpenglow at sunset on Mount Adams, Takhlakh Lake, WA; July 25, 2012. I had to wear a mosquito headnet to take this picture. It has been a wet year in western Washington, and the mosquitoes were thick! But that is as it should be; if we want beauty, we have to PAY for it in one way or another!
