the best advice?...you already know the answers...look inside yourself for all the answers, trust yourselves 100%, All the answers are already there inside you and you know this already, you may not trust yourself that this is true but it is true....having said that, if you are having difficulting articulating the answers that are there inside you already this mirror can help you from time to time if you want it. I did not use the words if you "need" it becuase if you trusted yourself 100% and did'nt cling to the current answer you already have, and if you excepted that the answers evolve but stay the same as you evolve and stay the same, well then you wouldnt "need" a mirror.

I don't know why the wind blows, but the flower still moves in the breeze. Welp, it has to do with the movement of air masses as the sun heats the Earth. I'm sure you can Google it.  Thats how the wind blows...where is the why in the physics? |

Hahahahahaha. Once again you make me laugh Tath in your response. We bow down before you oh great one. Why do you see greatness or not greatness, truth or falsehood, and how do you decide which is which? |

Don't trust what you think about your refection, trust what you already know yourself to be before you looked in the mirrors. It does seem like the crystal teacher trusted the latter ('what you already know yourself to be before you looked in the mirrors') for a time and that 'worked.' But then the reflection slowly seeped in and soon they were trusting the reflection again, 100%. The new reflections even had all sorts of cool new enlightenment-degree-detection tools to go with it. Never fails! lol. It's like the smell test didn't work anymore because they became desensitized to the new stink. So it seems like one shouldn't trust themselves 100% because that might lead one to swinging a crystal in peeps faces. Now just another annoying person trusting themselves 100%. |

Max, one might appear to trust themselves, but if there is no self-honesty then it's just delusion. I think the self honesty, or questioning of one-self is the missing ingredient here.

Now just another annoying person trusting themselves 100%. the ego creates that which supports itself...for a time he may have been in egoless self, but when the ego comes back in so does the ideas that become real to you...for the crystal waver his ego came back in and shaped a reality that supported itself. nothing wrong with this, everybody does it until you stop being....here is a useful thought...how is the crystal waver waving his crystal helping you or hurting you? and why is it that some people believe he is a help to them and others, and others believe he is a hurt to themselves or others, which reality is true and who is it true for? |

Why are you here looking at this sight and reading this forum kluas? Why not a psychology forum, or an exastential philosophy forum? |

I think the self honesty, or questioning of one-self is the missing ingredient here. isnt it all self dilusion? if the appearence of seperate selves is a self dilusion then arent all things self dilusion? how do you go about deciding which self dilusion you will except as truth and which you will except as dishonesty? What role does judgment play is this Ivory? is being without judgment the only real self honesty? |
