Mirroring Outward: Contemplative Seeing
In the quiet moments, when we allow ourselves to slip beyond the veil of the everyday, that's where the true magic happens. Contemplation, it's not just a practice; it's an unveiling of a deeper way of seeing. It's a journey into the realms of perception that transcends the mundane, where wonder isn't just a fleeting emotion but the very foundation of our spiritual exploration.
You know, I've always been struck by that story of Moses standing barefoot on ground made sacred by an encounter with awe itself. Can you imagine that? To feel the pulse of divinity beneath your feet, in every grain of soil? It's almost as if the universe whispered its secrets right into his soul.
And early contemplation, it's this excavation of the self, a digging deep into the unconscious layers where our expectations, assumptions, and fears reside. These are the barriers, the veils that shroud the awe and wonder we so desperately seek. It's shedding the skin of the old self, resistant to change, and embracing the newness of life that breathes vigor into the aged and familiar.
Contemplation fills our reservoir, clearing the waters clouded by habitual patterns. It's a purification, a liberation that allows us to encounter life with fresh eyes, unbound by our past perceptions.
Our sight, it's a canvas upon which our inner landscape paints. Joy or resistance, they're strokes of color guided by the brush of our consciousness. The outer world, it's a reflection, a mirror echoing the depths of our being back at us.
Contemplatives, we're not just passive observers. We're participants in a dance of interconnectedness, where subject meets subject. It's in this communion that the truth reveals itself, not in words, but in the silent language of mirroring and reflection.
In the sacred whispers of quiet moments,
may you find the magic that transcends the ordinary,
unveiling a deeper way of seeing.
As Moses felt the pulse of divinity beneath his bare feet,
may you too sense the universe whispering its secrets
into your soul, guiding you past barriers towards awe and wonder.
May contemplation be your liberation,
clearing the waters of habitual patterns,
allowing fresh encounters and mirroring the depths
of your being in the interconnected dance of life.
