Know Thyself - Cosmic Mirror

Our healing abilities are innate to our Being. True healing begins when we identify with our divine essence rather than the fragmented selves—the legion of "I’s" that form our psychological aggregates.

When we finally remember our True Self, we begin to grasp the vastness and greatness that resides within each of us. This realization is not something external—it is a process of remembrance, cultivated through deep introspection and vigilant self-observation, moment to moment.

For me, this realization arrived as an overwhelming sense of responsibility—the weight that always walks hand in hand with true power.

A Meeting Beyond the Veil

One night, in the astral, I had a powerful encounter with a kind and wise master. This occurred at a time when I had finally decided to openly embrace the path of healing—a long-secret dream of mine.

"I heard you wish to be a healer?" the master asked.

Filled with excitement, I responded, "Of course, I do! I want to heal all the suffering I see. I want to end their pain! I finally understand that I can do it now."

With deep compassion, the guide simply replied, "You know, dear one, there is nobody sick or suffering out there."

His words shook me. I immediately responded, "What do you mean? What about the sick people I see every day?"

I began to list them, pointing out their suffering, as if the guide could see them too.

With unwavering serenity, he answered, "Dear one, these people are doing you a service. They are holding up a mirror so you can see your own suffering reflected through them.

"Heal yourself, and they will no longer need to hold that mirror for you. You will release them from this burden when you release yourself."

His words echoed through my being, as he faded from my vision.

"Release them, release them, release them..."

The Cosmic Mirror – A Truth Remembered

I woke up instantly, feeling as though I had always known this truth, though words could never truly capture it.

I was reminded, once again, of the cosmic mirror—the eternal reflection of ourselves through the world around us. Of course, I had always known this. Gandhi’s words resonated within me:

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

That moment was a glimpse of gnosis—a direct knowing beyond intellect. It reaffirmed a truth I had long carried:

With true power comes great responsibility.

Know Thyself – The Reflection of All Things

The cosmic mirror reveals that all relationships—every interaction, every moment—are mere reflections of who we are, what we judge, what we miss, what we have lost, and how we perceive ourselves.

Everything we experience is a lesson, a reflection, a doorway to deeper self-awareness.

This meeting humbled me deeply. In an instant, I felt overwhelming love and gratitude for every being—past, present, or future—who had ever played a role in my journey. A clear thought echoed within me:

Know Thyself and You will Know the Universe!

Heal Thyself and your world will heal through you!
