The Mirror

When I wake up in the morning, I always stroll over to the sink.

Over the sink there's a round mirror, and it gives me a very accurate reflection of my face.

The mirror does not have any agenda.

It just hangs on the wall, over the sink, reflecting light as it bounces off surfaces such as my face accurately.

The mirror reflects the reality of who I am in terms of my physical form, and it does not soften or alter the reflection in any way.

What I see is what I am.

Laws are like mirrors.

If laws have grown out of a sound and good standard, they provide us with a mirror reflecting back at us what we have done wrong.

The basic principle of this mirror is that if we put out evil, we end up receiving evil.

When we steal, our freedom is stolen from us, when we take a life, our life is taken, either directly by the death penalty, or indirectly by imprisoning us for the remainder of our life.

The object of the law is not only to protect those who wish to do good, but also to discipline those who do evil.

The basic message of the law is: if you do evil and seek to inflict hurt, you end up hurting and doing evil to yourself.

In this capacity the law serves as a reminder of the mirror of existence.

If you look in that mirror, it reflects back at you what you are in terms of the core values of that mirror, its properties.

A straight mirror gives you a correct image of yourself, a bent or warped mirror distorts your image in accordance with its deformity.

YHWH gave us His perfect law as a mirror.

Each time when we look in the mirror of His Torah, it reflects back at us who we are in terms of good and evil.

When we hate someone, looking in the mirror of YHWH's law we become aware of a reflection of evil within us.

If we do harm to someone, then the mirror of YHWH's law inflicts that harm back on us.

YHWH gave us His law to make it clear to us that life is a mirror reflecting back at us what we put out.

Why do you think YHWH created the principle of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth?

If we steal, YHWH's Torah demands restitution and a penalty, if we kill, our life is taken.

In this capacity the law becomes a mirror because it brings back to us the evil we put out.

Did YHWH create these rules because He is harsh and unforgiving?

No, He created these rules to make it perfectly clear to us that whatever we put out is what we receive.

If we hurt, we receive hurt, if we do good, good will come back to us.

It is the mirror of existence.

It helps us make the right choices.

If we love YHWH, we will experience His presence as a delight and a joy, but if we hate Him, we will experience His presence as anger towards us, and He manifests as destruction.

If we steal from our fellow man, we rob ourselves, if we take his life, we kill ourselves, because the law convicts and penalizes us in accordance with the transgression we are guilty of.

Thus, the law mirrors back at us what we have done wrong.

Our entire planet is created in such a way that it reflects back at us who we are: dualistic human beings carrying both good and evil within us.

The good part is our conscience, the evil part is our manipulated physical mind.

The system of law in our countries reflects in the same way as a mirror: if you seek to hurt, you hurt yourself.

This basic principle acts as a correction, because if we want to enjoy life and receive the good things, we have to make sure that we put out good and not evil.

The Torah is like a mirror in the sense that it provides us with the rules of the mirror of existence.

Besides the mirror of reality, there are mirrors of corruption which reflect the distortion of the mirror back at people and thereby provides us with an incorrect false image.

When mirrors are corrupted, they show us an image of ourselves shaped by this corruption.

If you look into a laughing mirror it does not show you a reflection of your true physical shape, but instead it reflects a distorted image which has no root in reality.

Distorted mirrors manifest themselves for example in national laws which deviate from YHWH's definition of good and evil.

If you create a law which allows for the murder of infants, then the murderers who look into that law do not see an accurate reflection of what they are.

Instead, the law validates them in the same way as a parent might spoil a child by not correcting a wrong the child did.

As the rod is spared, the child is spoiled and grows up crooked with a corrupt set of values.

If a law is called into existence which affirms a lie and punishes truth, then those who speak truth will not find an accurate reflection of themselves in that mirror.

They may put forth good, yet in the mirror of the law they receive the distorted image of evil.

Yet those who put out evil and agree with the lie will find affirmation in the image of the mirror of the law.

If national laws are based on a corrupt concept, they are transformed into distorted mirrors.

The early followers of Yahshua in the Roman Empire were persecuted for believing truth, and the means of persecution was provided by the law.

The emperor had based the law on a corrupt concept, and if those who loved truth mirrored themselves in this law, they were incompatible with the image reflected back at them.

And so, whereas they put out good, they received evil in return.

The forces of evil corrupt YHWH's law of existence by reversing everything.

If a law in the capacity of being a mirror is supposed to be based on a concept embodying that which YHWH defined as good, evil forces deviate from YHWH's concept by creating laws into existence which reflect the corruption of evil.

The result is that evil is rewarded, and good is punished, a reverse mirror and a perversion of the mirror of existence.

So, if life has true mirrors and corrupt mirrors, surely then the entirety of life is not a true mirror of existence because it does not accurately reflect back at us our image?

Is it not true that sometimes those who do good receive evil and those who do evil are rewarded?

Although the latter is true, life IS a mirror of existence, because we WILL  see an uncorrupted image of who we truly are reflected back at us.

Even if this image is withheld from us in this life, we WILL see this image in the mirror of our Creator when we stand in front of Him.

He is the Source of Life, and in Him we will see a true reflection of who and what we are.

The corrupt mirrors are just part of a smokescreen of evil, and they serve the purpose of refining and sharpening our vision of truth.

The corrupt mirrors seek to entice us to believe in the reflection the mirrors give us of ourselves.

Once we believe, we have accepted the corruption of the mirror, and the corruption becomes part of our being.

Yet if we hold fast to truth and our reflection in the mirror of truth which YHWH gives us, then the corruption in false mirrors cannot shape us into believing the corruption.

We reject it and hold fast to our true image in YHWH's mirror.

Thus, the mirrors of corruption serve to enhance and strengthen our image in YHWH's mirror of truth.

Life is a maze of mirrors.

There are mirrors of YHWH's reality, such as in the form of his Torah, or in the form of nature, or in the form of our conscience, or in the form of our experiences in life.

Then there are mirrors of Evil which lie to us.

In life we are given the freedom to choose which mirror we shall use to mirror ourselves in.

Some prefer to look in the mirror of corruption, because they like the image reflected back at them.

Others come to love truth so much that they prefer to look in the mirror of YHWH's reality, even though the image reflected back at them is not always flattering.

In the end we are pulled out of the maze of mirrors here on earth, and we find ourselves looking in YHWH's mirror reflecting the true image of who we are.

Those who love truth so much that they chose YHWH's mirror of His reality on earth will see the image they are familiar with looking back at them.

Yet those who hated truth and preferred the mirror of corruption will be in shock of the image of themselves they behold in YHWH's mirror.

The image they see in YHWH's mirror is condemnation, and YHWH will manifest to them in the form of that which they have been, thus reflecting back at them their true nature: evil.

And they will run into the dark abyss seeking to hide from the reflection of their image in YHWH's mirror, just as they have done when they were part of the earth theatre.
