Discovering Reality: Beyond Reflections in the Mirror of our Minds

Have you ever wondered how we perceive reality through our mind?

I realize that our vision of the world is distorted by our experiences, prejudices and identifications, which prevents us from seeing things as they are. This distortion is compared to the vision of different creatures, such as a lion, which can only see the human being as a source of food because of its limited perception.

I believe that life has granted us a more level "mirror" compared to other creatures, but even so, this mirror can become distorted.

Reflections and Reality

To see the world as it is, we need to work on polishing and leveling our mind.

The metaphor of the mirror helps me understand how the mind reflects the perceptions captured by my senses without necessarily showing objective reality.

Throughout our lives, we have experienced only reflections in the mirror of our mind and not reality itself. This leads me to think that, at the end of our life, we might feel bewildered to realize that we never truly lived.

The only way to overcome this limitation is to experience reality as it is or to discover who is behind the mirror, that is, to understand our true nature beyond perceptions.

Transcendence and Understanding

Although improving our perception is crucial, it is not about acquiring extraordinary powers or abilities.

Rather, it is about achieving a mastery over our mind that allows us to access a deeper understanding of ourselves and reality. Only in this way can we avoid living a life based solely on reflexes and begin to savor life for what it really is.

It’s important to transcend the distortions of our mind to experience authentic reality and find a deeper sense of existence, moving away from the illusions and reflections that prevent us from living fully.
