The Key To Becoming A Clear Mirror

[Razard86]

They say a Guru is a mirror, one that can reflect without distortion. This means that anyone's interpretations of a Guru who has reached this level of integration is never what they appear, simply put everyone's perception of them is completely individualized as they do not stick to any specific identity.

As Leo has stated identity is metaphysical. So any discussion with the ego needs this to be emphasized. Identity is not a simple thing to discard, it literally determines how your reality is experienced. When triggering happens this is in direct result of this truth, of the metaphysical aspect of identity. All identity is relative, so the moment you take any identity as an absolute its opposite will be judged as bad. This judgment will be felt physically, and will arise in the presence of that identity. This is why identity is such a tricky issue, and why the ego exists in the first place.

The Ego is often demonized ignorantly when literally the Ego is needed to ground reality in the first place. The proper perspective is looking at how to develop the ego in healthy ways. Anyone that doesn't understand this doesn't understand the spiritual process. Here are a couple of things to make this clear. Language is ego. Blinking is ego. Your heart beat is ego. Your physical characteristics and likes/dislikes are ego. The whole process of spirituality is to educate you on the meta perspective and to give you a much broader ability to look at things which can give greater appreciate and possibly even a renewed vigor for life itself.

Its a tricky path full of twists, turns, and cycling back and forth from previously trodden paths. So how does one become a clear mirror? If you can drop all identity as an absolute, and perceive the relative interplay of each identity and its specific function THEN you will be a clear mirror. This is obviously easier said than done but it requires dropping all identity as I stated previously from an absolute to merely a relative. 

So this means you being human, a male, female, smart, stupid, short, tall, light, dark, good, evil, strong, weak, gay, straight, educated, non-educated, spiritual, non-spiritual, loving, unloving, truthful, untruthful, murder, non-murderer, rapist, non- rapist all identity is relational, and when this is understood at the metaphysical level then you become a pristine mirror. This is how the flow happens without resistance, as there is no attachment to distort its flow.
