“The Mirror of the Moment”
“We can see how important it is to recognize the relationship between what we do and what happens in the world if we look at the anthropological studies of hidden tribes in Asia. When explorers discovered on of the ‘lost’ tribes (they were only lost to us, of course, as they knew precisely who they were and where they were located), they were surprised to find that the members made no connection between sexual intercourse and pregnancy. The lag time of months between the act of sex and the moment of birth was so great that the link between the two events wasn’t obvious to them. This is the value of our mirrors – their immediacy helps us understand the real, underlying connections between seemingly disparate events.
“If we’re seeing our beliefs play out through our mirrors, then they’re happening now. Any reflection we see affords us a precious moment of opportunity. Once it’s recognized, a negative pattern can be healed in a heartbeat! To recognize it is the first clue about why it exists. More often than not, we find that the negative patterns mirrored in our lives are rooted in one of the three universal fears we explored in the last chapter.
“When we see our beliefs reflected in real time in our relationships with others, we experience the first of our mirrors, and it’s just that: The mirror of the moment. Sometimes, however, the reflection of the moment may be showing us something even subtler than what we’re doing in our lives – sometimes it will reveal to us what we judge in our lives. When it does, we’re experiencing the second mirror of relationship.
