Gregg Braden - The 7 Essene Mirrors

This has been on my mind lately. Had a discussion with my brother how life seemed in some ways a hall of mirrors reflecting bits and pieces of ourselves back to us. Usually the people who annoy us the most show us the most about ourselves. I wasn't aware of this video from Greg Braden (people still wear mullets?) but it really fits with what I have been noticing about myself and how I react to other people.

Maybe it will stir a few thoughts in you, and why we need to be careful about judging others. Perhaps when we become judgemental we just get more mirrors reflecting it back at us until we get the point?

From the perspective of the ancient Essenes, every human on the earth is an initiate in the Mystery School that we call Life. Whether they are conscious of it or not, every human will experience in the presence of others mirrors of themselves in that moment. If we have the wisdom to recognize those mirrors, we may accelerate the evolution of emotion and understanding.

What the Essenes said was that for us to know and master ourselves in this world, we will see one or some combination of mirrored patterns in others. The seven mirrors are progressively more and more subtle. Back in the '70s, we heard about the first mirror, of who you are in the moment. The notion was that if you find yourself around individuals who are angry or dishonest, they are showing you your dishonesty or anger. Sometimes the mirrors would apply, but sometimes they wouldn't. We had discovered the first mirror, but had yet to see the other mirrors, such as the second mirror, which reflects what we judge in the moment.

This is tremendously powerful but very subtle. The ancient Essenes had a very sophisticated understanding of interpersonal human relationships and the role of emotion in those relationships. It's the role of emotion that we have carefully sifted out of our Western experience up until very recently. Now, as we go back into these texts, we see that it is emotion that proves the power and, when coupled with logic, true magic and miracles occur.

Glad to see this again, this is one of my favorite presentations. The whole of reality is done with mirrors and opposites. Heh, guess that makes God a magician...
